Dental 4 Less, Marijuana use may raise risk of periodontal disease

Long-term marijuana use was linked to poorer periodontal health in later life, but it was not associated with other physical health problems.
Marijuana, also referred to as cannabis, is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States.
