It is a controversial topic and not well studied. Any comments in this thread are anecdotal.
There are new studies showing heavy users might possibly be linked to causing a smaller learning center of the brain (hippocampus). However much more and longer studies need to be conducted. There seems to be minimal risk for a once in a week user (only weed).

My 2 cents: some of the dangers could come from the effects of addiction on the brain and the potential mild Co2 poisoning from hits from the bong or smoke weed everyday behaviour. When my homies pass around another spliff and I take a scary shower the heighten activation of the amygdala could train your brain to shrink the amygdala. I might have to call my mom up and tell her what’s up. When paranoia is induced multiple times a week it’s prob not healthy for the brain.
However like I said anyone who says they know for sure is blowing smoke out their ass.
Oh shit I forgot about the chicken nuggets from the first verse.
