is weed bad

[KingDavid]

Well here's my opinion from an experienced user.
Weed chills you out, and gives you a good buzzing feeling. I find with weed it can really help you to concentrate, and an activity enhancer. With the concentrating thing tho, you can only concentrate on one thing really ... that's what i find atleast. It's good for me because I always blaze and draw, and i can keep my motivation going, and like i said it's an activity enhancer for sure so it's funner too. It also enhances the taste of food for sure. You just have to know when to draw the line, if I smoke 2 much everyday for awhile i start to go a little screwy, but when u stop after a few days my mind clears up again and it's back 2 normal. Just don't over abuse it, take occasional break and shit and it's a great drug. I never really have cardo problems either. If I could do valum or t3s tho, if they were available 2 me i would probably smoke less than i do and pop some of that shit. If you ever get really burnt out from weed - it's probabley because it was laced with something to make it heavier or w/e so ur dealer is getting more money. if u get good shit u shouldn't have a bad burnout and worse comes to worse you'll just b tired. that's the worst side effect i ever have, really hungry or tired. which is why weed is great for people with sleep and eating disorders.

Weed will fuck up your life.

Weed will fuck up your life.

I really hope that's sarcasm.

The more correct statement is that prohibition will fuck up your life. Drug laws fuck up people's lives. Unfair financial aid policies in relation to possession charges will fuck up your life.

Marijuana might get you fucked up, but it will not fuck up your life. People do that on their own quite well.

The brain damage bullshit isn't even near the truth. Developing brains (children) shouldn't partake in mind-altering substances because their brains haven't fully developed yet, but adults don't experience adverse effects from even regular marijuana use.

The inhalation of burning plant material isn't a healthy thing to do, strictly speaking, but even regular marijuana use (without cigarettes) isn't connected to an increased risk of lung cancer. Beyond that, marijuana has been shown to actually combat the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. If you are worried about burning the plant matter, just use a vaporizer, as it's not smoke at all (more efficient anyway).

The relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia has been drastically overstated by anti-drug officials. The cause-and-effect relationship is likely backwards, meaning that people with mental disorders tend to do more drugs--gee, isn't that just logical?

Marijuana is a huge commodity in America, but it goes unregulated and untaxed (medical marijuana is the exception) and the drug war has simply turned millions of otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals.

Marijuana isn't bad, and anyone that will tell you otherwise is most likely ignorant to the facts. Misinformation permeates this debate, and the only way to remedy the current situation is to educate people about the real issues when it comes to marijuana.

it makes you paranoid..and you waste money on it...but really it effects people in different ways, but paranoia is the common one, which could then spur on to cause problems in relationships etc etc.

it's not a waste of money if you're having fun... and it doesn't really make me paranoid. All i know is high school up til junior year, I didn't smoke and I got a 2.9 gpa.. senior year and my freshmen year in college i've gotten a 3.5 and 3.9 and i've been smoking a lot..

thats weird, i dont think thats the case with everyone lol
my friends smoke it all the time and they are dumb as fuck, it doesnt even make sense how dumb they are. but up here i guess there is nothing else to do for fun for them...

@Abe, those all seem like really good counterpoints, but there are articles saying how it effects you on all the points you shut down, i have a friend whose dad has a lung disease specifically from weed, could your provide a reliable source as to saying weed isnt bad, and im not talkin about weed magazine(yes there is that) i want like a non-biast source with scientific facts and examples
not doubting you, but its alot easier to say all those things from(im guessing) a weed smoker, that an actual good source

It's like Fast Food and Alcahol. Enjoy it in moderation homie.

Now i'm gone to smoke some shit

Well I think it's fine if you use it with limit. I mean if you can't live without it, then you're pretty much fucked up.

It's not really addictive, so even if you smoke way too much it's relativly easy to get away from it. A good friend of mine has been smoking everyday for three years and he quit for some time ago. He had no problem quitting except for a little cold sweat and he felt bored a lot in the beginning. After not smoking for a months he now blaze a little, like a couple of times a month.

I have a mate who got addicted to weed, he couldn't live without it so he moved on to harder stuff like coke. Now he has pretty much fucked up his life. Went to jail, steels a lot, every house he lives in he gets kicked out, his family totally disowned him, his mates doesn't even know who he is anymore and he doesn't give a shit anymore. Oh yeah he can't get a job so he pretty much sleeps on sofas or in homeless shelters.

So I guess it pretty much on the person.

Can't really blame that on the weed...

[Tash8]

It started from weed.

yes but it coulda started from something else.. i dont think weed is the reason, it more depends on the type of person he is.

[Tash8]

of course he admitted it, everyone likes to point fingers.

[RapName]

Maybe, but no one can say weed had nothing to do with it what so ever. i think it was like a trigger.

The thing is, it doesn't really makes sense to go from weed to cocaine. There are two completely different drugs and the "high" is the complete opposite. Weed makes you calm, relaxed, creative and a little lazy, coke makes you "fast", excited, chatty and it can give you a kind of "superman" feeling. So it's really a wierd way to go... When it comes to high the effects of alcohol is a lot closer to cocaine then weed is.

And the stepping stone theory is actually proven to wrong. Actually, less then 1% of all weedsmokers do cocaine and heroin, and the is less then non-weedsmokers.
So i think your friend had the problem, but there's really easy to blame it on weed.

[gvdz]

some people are using medical weed.
so i guess it isnt so bad as they say

[DrunkenDeath]

well, me, and people i know haven't started coughing randomly until we started smoking cigarettes.


living by an ocean or taking salt water baths is good for your skin, lungs, and everything.

[EminemIVLife]

U only need weed.
and x on some nights
but ppl shoudlnt blame weed for triggering an addiction to another harder drug but rather their extreme personalities imo.

[Most-Hated]

In my experince with Ganja or pot or grass or whatever you wanna call it. I never once was addicted. To this day (and i have smoked prolly 100 times in my life) I have never "needed" weed. It's like a candy bar or ice cream. You get it because you enjoy how it makes you feel. And after you eat that delightful treat do you feel addicted? Nope, or atleast I don't..

Now what I will say is bad is spending your last 10 bucks on a dime when you dont have no gas to go to work in the morning to put clothes on your familes backs or food on their table. This is when it's bad.. But same thing goes to cigs and beer.. Hell for that matter any other WANT and not NEED...
