What are the real risks of smoking marijuana

In your experience of all your time smoking and being around other weed smokers, what do you see as the actual health risks to smoking marijuana.


what i've seen is

1.lungs, people who smoke alot over long periods of time, do have fucked up lungs, they cough up black tar, yes even ones who don't smoke cigs and never have, they loose they're breaths easier running swimming or other physical activities.

but this is people who smoke a shit load like daily. and usually they are smoking joints/blunts/glass/metal bowls. so there isn't the convenient factor or bong water or vapes filtering their smoke.

2.high anxiety people get really paranoind and freak out, i don't attribute that to weed alone but some people no matter how many times they have smoked still just freak the fuck out.

3.burn out-i experience this, like ifi smoke alot for a while and stop im a little off for af ew days, but it subsides.

what do you all see?

i just see with heavy use bad lungs and decreased motivation. the second goes away with time.

 

4. Police arresting people for smoking. This seems to happen when cops show up.

 

My friends and I smoke a lot, and I have noticed us getting less adventurous. We just sit around and smoke and don't really get anywhere. It's also became a sort of "center" where we expect to be high, and if we're not, things are slightly dulled and boring.

I'm realizing that weed's not my thing. I get uncomfortable when I smoke and lose interest in things I enjoy.

Of course, both of these are directly related to how we're use the drug. We could smoke and talk/play music or explore, but we just don't. And it makes me anxious and fucked up but that just relies on me knowing that weed isn't for me. Other than how we handle the drug (which is really the case for any substance) I haven't noticed any problems that can be blamed on weed alone, besides lung damage of course.

 

Yeah, it's called lazyness.

 

Lazyness and decreased motivation are realistic risks for sure if you're an intensive smoker. Paranoia and freaking out is more personrelated I think, and maybe more short term.

 

Yeah it does some damage to your lungs, but I think it's just as much as ciggarettes, if not less. I would also assume that it's similar to alcohol in that it kills some brain cells each time you do it, but no serious damage.

The health risks aren't really a big deal at all, but what's more of a concern, at least for me, is just the attitude change that comes with being a daily smoker. Even though I enjoy smoking, I'm not going to deny that it turns you into a burnout if you don't manage your usage. So I mean it's no different from any other activity, even non-drug related activities; keep it in moderation and you're good! But that's easier said than done haha, especially for me!

 

thats complete bull shit its not the bud doing it its the person i smoke excessively every day i agree with the coughing up resin and loss of breath faster but laziness my friends is you. im out side walking around my whole city every day smoking lol but you might be talking about winter.. chillin inside smoking a fat blunt is the thing to do in winter.

 

i dont really get lazy, ill wake up in the morning after smoking and feel really relaxed and still kinda dazed. not high just a we bit foggy.

i still function fine.

 

It's called lethargic. It takes effort to be lazy. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Smoke weed

 

I, and a lot of people I know, used to smoke a substantial amount, but now get anxiety. I now can only smoke "headies" (no beasters, no outdoor), and only two hits, and only right before bed, or I have a minor anxiety attack. Sucks.

 

and also.

why the fuck do people get the idea that weed kills brain cells?

i mean, holding a hit in for a while would cause no oxygen to the brain or whatever, but how would it kill brain cells in itself?

 

I just heard that, I'm not sure if it's true, I just figured that it seems plausible since weed does something with your brain.

 

weed is worse for you than nicotine.

i think lack of motivation is a universal trait for all addiction.
the real risk to smoking pot? high cholesterol, falling asleep.

 

Burns. Trying to make cheesy onion fries at midnight without the kitchen light on and touching the hot oven.

 

^^^

Thats just stupidity.

 

The only risk Ive encountered was burning my bangs from trying to light a small roach..
I keep my hair short now and smoke large blunts.. problem solved.

 

I am confused for the next 24 hours or so after Im high. Thats the only downside for me.

 

i tend to get slow for a day or two after smoking.. once i smoked some dank dank stuff probably five bong hits every two hours for an entire week and i'd just sleep when i slept.. i forgot what it was like to be high that week, so when i stopped smoking and my head cleared, it wwas almost as cool as being high! it seemed so new and different

 

cops, record , court, probation all sucks

 

Respiratory problems, decreased brain function, and a week immune system.

Edit: and speech problems.
