Honestly no, it's not like on TV in those commercials. If you smoke once chances are you wont be addicted to it like heroin, you wont start using meth, you wont accidentally kill yourself. You'll just get high, then sober up. EXTENSIVE use and i mean abusing it will have adverse affects but its like eating cheese, one bite wont hurt, but if you live off it you'll die of heart disease.

THC affects everyone differently, some people get extreme paranoia and totally freak out, your joint might be laced with things like PCP and stuff (if its not from a trusted source, like some teenagers who don't know anything buying some crap from people trying to rip them off).
I used to smoke pot, but gave that up after I saw what happened to my friends ( they're completely dependent on it, emotionally and physically, they can't function without it anymore ), plus it was getting expensive, and I embraced Orthodox Christianity.
One joint cannot hurt you, but it CAN decide the way you will live your life, if you like weed, you'll keep smoking it, physically one joint can't really hurt you, or do much damage, emotionally, and physically over a long period of time? Yes. The tar that is in a joint is 8 times higher than in one cigarette, that is why you often cough if you try to hold in the smoke to get the most out of your weed, and thats why people smoke marijuana in bongs and evaporators, because of the damage that comes from smoking it in a joint form.
If you put some tobacco that is found in cigarettes in an evaporator and inhale, you're going to be one sick puppy for at least a few days, and might need a visit to a hospital because of all the chemicals.
Also if you smoke weed, aside the paranoia, your heartbeat will (most likely) increase by 50-60%, and you will have cotton mouth (your mouth is going to become really dry).
Not a good experience.
EDIT:
Side effects come about 5-10 minutes after inhaling the THC, one puff shouldn't do much depending on the quality and potency of your herb (which I assume isn't much), 70% of all the times I smoked I got cotton mouth and my heart rate increased by 50%, which kinda makes you paranoid.

One joint will kill you if you don't smoke it right or not cool enough.not really but you might like it and it will screw you up in the end. there's a time and place for everything and it's called college.
