This guy thinks weed is bad for you

Hey everybody tell this guy that weed isn't harmful to you. He said that I will die before him because I smoke weed. His aim sn is Destroyer Gundam.

ps.
stoned..........

 

Just point him to www.norml.org

 

It's possible he is right though.

If your not smoking organic home-grown, you really can't say for sure what's in your bud. You could be smoking DDT and other known carcinogens for all you know.

 

Chemicaly inbalanced marijuana, you can usually tell by just looking at it. Like i stated previously. Marijuana is natural. It's among one of the most natural body consumption's you can get. All the food you eat is processed and have added ingrediants to maybe make it last longer or taste better. Pop, food, pill's, ciggerettes, alchohal.

I hate when people try to pull there mainstreem rap about marijuana. Just look him in the face and say " Oh well, at least ill die high". But marijuana wont kill you. I mean look at all the research done on how it aid's cancer patients, and glaucoma patients. Shit, some even smoke to gain back memory loss. I mean just a week or so ago it was in the new's that some guy's dog died at the age of like 33 or something because he smoked with his dog everyday. That's 33 in human year's.

Of course there are some types of marijuana where people add differnt chemicals for different effect's.

But.. what do I know. I am just a stoner.

 

Marijuana has been used by people to get high for at least 30,000 years, or whenever it was when humans in Afganistan "harnessed" the power of fire.
There has never been a death related to marijuana usage. There is a health hazard from inhaling lots of smoke for years, but this can be avoided by vaporizing high-quality weed.

 

smoking is bad for your health. your friend is correct. still, weed is much, much safer than many other things out there...

 

I hate when people act as if marijuana was harmless. sometimes it bothers me even more then anti marijuana propaganda bullshit.

Smoking any substance, even if it is pure cannabis with no additives ( ddt, pesticide etc...)is still harmful for your health. Smoking can cause many deasese from lung cancer to countless less harmful ones. If you dont want to take the risk either vaporize or injest marijuana. that's as far as the physical damage goes.

as for the psycological damage; it ranges from short term memory loss and lack of motivation to lack of apetite and sleep ,when you cant get any reefer (which I all experienced first hand).

despite all this I believe MJ could still be a relativly harmless drug (compared to thers) if used in moderation, but only in moderation since abusing it can cause psycological addiction, where you just need to get stoned everyday ( my case) otherwise you feel like shit...

 

Weed is far from harmless, but its not green crack

 

Weed is harmless, IMO.
Happy smoking!

 

Memory loss? Absolutely, but still everytime I get stoned there is nothing more i would like to do then to eat and possibly sleep if im too stoned, Sooo i do not see why there is a lack of appetite and sleep deprivation, i just dont understand. For me the most harmfull thing about smoking heads is that i always want to smoke a circle (my term for cigarrete, pisses me off when people call it a square, its a damn circle!) I have athsma and i thought bronchidis untill i just smoked so much weed that i coughed up all the shit in me, so im fine now!

 

That guy is just one of billions.. good luck

 

Weed is indeed bad for you compared to being 100% sober. Damages your lungs and can cause long term or short term brain damage which can lead to a decrease in motor functions. I smoke too, I just want everyone to know the facts.

 

i think might be exaggerating a little^
long term brain damage??

 

yes, depending on how much you smoke and how often you do it. Brain cells take a long long time to repair (sometimes they never do) and if you smoke enough MJ you can start killing or damaging them. They have found links between smoking lots of MJ and loss of motor functions and reaction time.

 

what all of you guys are not realizing is your all straying from topic. the original post said tell this dude that weed isnt harmful. but see its not the ganja that is harmful its the smoke thats harmful. take oregano for instane, there is not scientific proof that oregano is harmful to you when injested but when burned its a dense black smoke that probably tears up your lungs. i smoke alot of pot and i have really shitty lungs now, i used to think its cuz i smoked ciggerettes but i quit in october and there is no change. as for mental effects there are just way too many variables of the human mind, i dont give a fuck if ur a nobel prize winning scientist there is absolutly no way u can experiment with all the variables of the human mind. things like sleep deprivation, and loss of appetite could be from any hormonal or emotional imbalance in the brain, so to say that u know that weed causes these things is ignorant and theory at best very far from fact. sorry for the long post but this is a sensitive subject.


happy chiefing!!

 

your killing the weak ones anyway and just making the strong ones stronger

most of the "bad" effects are only durring intoxication, its not like you wont be able to drive as well the next week, or next day rather. even then. its not hard to drive high

 

I fell like I'm floating!

 

IT DOES kill brain cells. You can track that by exposing people to MJ and seeing if their brain cells die...they do if MJ is smoked in large ammounts or very often. Brain cells can sometimes repair themselves if given lots of time. I agree the brain is a crazy thing and lots of things are not known about it. But I have stated what is known. MJ can have long term effects on the brain (even after someone has stopped smoking).


Also, cigarettes can permanetly damage your lungs so that is why you may not experience any difference after quitting. Not only that but most of the time the smoker needs to have quit a year or so to notice any difference in breathing (because the lungs need time to repair) and 10 years to decrease chances of lung cancer. I know I pull this card a lot but: That came from my mother, the doctor who worked for the FDA, many hospitals, and many drug companies. If you don't feel a change in a year or so then it could (and most likely is) due to smoking marijuana. But by far cigarettes are worse for your lungs than MJ.

 

Oh i know it isn't hard to drive high (i do it most of the time I get high because I am hungry for just about anything besides what I have in my house). You know that "loss of motor funtion" does not mean that you lose the ability to drive motor vehicles right? Encase you don't know: Pretty much any movement or action that takes a concious effort to produce is a motor function (walking, talking, moving in general). Marijuana has been linked to temporary and permenant damage of the brain cells that control motor functions. Slurred speech and sluggishness are just two out of many examples of loss of motor functions (note: when i say loss I don't mean total loss, I mean partial loss, or deminished motor functions if you will). I am not saying it always happens and that it never gets better over time, but MJ can harm your body and your mind either temporarily or permenantly and I just like for people to know the facts about thwat they are doing.

Personally I am fine with the consequences and since I don't smoke a whole lot I am pretty certain that any temporary loss will correct itself. Hell, I think that everyone should be allowed to do w/e they want with their own bodies and minds, I don't really care. I think life is WAY too short to be caught up in the scurry of the ants on wallstreet and the main stream life. I like to sit back and enjoy life, sometimes with MJ or other drugs. I think that all drugs and all actions should be legal providing that the drug/action does not normally (there are always some people who react differently) harm anyone other than the person taking the drug or doing the action and that the peson knows the consequence and what the drug/action is doing to them.
