As a medical marijuana patient, I find it to be really helpful for my leg pains(Car Accident) and it makes you eat(if you don't eat a lot). I prefer marijuana then taking pills that fk up your lever or make you become a pill addict like most people now and days it seems.

It's not directly harmful, but smoking it daily can have a lot of negative effects. If you're inhaling the smoke every single day, you're still taking in CO2 and you do have a very highly increased risk of heart disease and cancer.

You can become dependent on THC as well. It's a low dependency rate, like less than 30% of heavy users, but it can happen.

However in moderation it's about as harmful as alcohol.

Yeah, you better get back to doing those drugs of yours.

ColdExistence

Marijuana's one hell of a drug.

No.

Jandurin

Maybe. I've heard alcohol in moderation can be good for you.

Jandurin

Yes

It's even a lower rate than I said. It's 10-30% become dependent. It's not physically addicting but you can develop a dependency for it.

you can develop a dependency for it.

Wasdie

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

you can develop a dependency for it.

Jandurin

Well if you refuse to read the link I provided with an actual credible study, then there isn't much that can be said.

It's also physcially addictive as well. It's just a really low percent, but it does happen.

I don't believe it's an argument people should use against something, unless it's a physical addiction that can affect everyone. ColdExistence

If you read the link you will also find that it is physcially addicting. Apparently I glanced over that part. So I was wrong. It is addicting. Read the link.

You didn't read this

There are very little negative effects from marijuana. The worst is the fact that you're still inhaling smoke when you smoke it(which in turn damages your lungs). However, that applies to any kind of smoke. Also, it can be ingested in different ways. Eating it comes to mind, by one can use inhalers as well.

It can cause cancer not because of the marijuana itself, but because of the tar in the rolling papers people use for joints. Much like how rolling your own cigarettes in less bad for you than buying packaged ones.

Watch these 2 documenteries(they're long, but they're worth it if you want to get informed), and if you think that it should retain it's current status (in the US at least, here in Europe its much less of a big deal), then I dont know what to say.

I don't know why it's hard to believe. I'm not calling for it to be illegal, I think it should be legalized. But just like anything out there that messes with us in some way, this can be addicting.

It's less addicting than cigarettes and alcohol, but it still is.

Not dangerous if you know how to control it. If you don't know how to control it, super dangerous.

Nicksonman

What makes it "super dangerous"?

THAT'S A FVCKING TERRIFIC ANSWER

The Hippy Hay does have carcinogenic smoke. One little joint is equivalent to 3-8 cigarettes in terms of toxins (minus the nico of course). Also, long term weed smoking has been linked to the development of schizophrenia. However, there are aspects in the puff that actually halt the growth of cancer in the lungs (it's a paradox really). There's more, but that's all I remember from a psychology course I did back in the day :)

depends on the person, I for one hate weed, because I can not stand the smell, gives me headaches

It's not linked to the DEVELOPMENT of schizophrenia but if you have a predisposition, then it can trigger it. But so can any traumatic or exciting event.Jandurin

Cause it or open the bars for it to escape...semantecs really. Hey after all these year I'm fine....shhh I'm still talking.

It was explained in my post. Don't know why you even asked me...

Nicksonman

Your post says nothing.

You know what I find interesting about religion and weed debates? They're the same, they have people trying to force their beliefs on others and most of the stuff they say ain't true >_>

They're extremely different.

One's based off beliefs, the other facts.

Marijuana studies are pretty biased (both ways) and **** anyone that tells you we "understand" the brain and drug interactions in general. We just have ideas and beliefs about them, man.

Jandurin

Sh!t...yes.

I was very wrong.

Once again, I like to say things.

It's really dumb because I already knew all of this. :(

Whoops, I was wrong again. I shouldn't say I "knew", rather, I was aware of this.
