How many people actually think marijuana is a bad thing, forget about what D.A.R.E. spoon fed you?
Question:
Answers:
Not only do I NOT think it's bad. I think it's great. I have been a heavy pot smoker since I was 12. I graduated in the top of my class in high school, I graduated college at a university, I am 22, work for myself, and make almost $100K/year totally legal, and I'm working on my MBA. My mom and aunts and uncles have smoked since they were in high school and all have very good jobs, families, and lives. All my friends in college and right out of college have been smoking with me forever and are all doing great. It is so much safer and healthier than alcohol. Someone tell me what is bad about marijuana. They have even found out recently that the THC actually fights off the cancer causing chemicals in marijuana, so it actually offsets itself as far as cancer goes. Wow. And people actually still live so far in the past and think weed is bad. Come on now, crack is bad, not weed.

I think any mind altering drug is potentially bad. However. I think marijuana is no worse than alcohol.
just as long as you dont go into public while your high, i don't care if u do it I don't think it's any worse than drinking.
it's gooooood!
What I feel about Marijuana, is that, just like alchohol, nicotine, viagra, or insulin, it is a chemical that can be used for something good for you, or, it can be used recreationally and wind up hurting yourself. Is it possible to OD on marijuana? Perhaps, but there are a lot more effects than just chemical.. To be honest, people who smoke a lot of pot, every day, tend to become sort of brain dead after a while.. they neglect their obligations,relationships, etc., and may not realize it, but they do suffer. Just like alchoholics. Is it the weed that makes them this way? No! It's themselves. Well at least the weed that is out there now.. there may be super strains of marijuana that make people act like they are high on cocaine or something, but, than they would be cocaine, I guess. Anyways, that's my $0.02.
I have smoked marijuana and probably will smoke again. I found out very quickly that the number of people who "ruin" their lives because of their use (or abuse) of this drug are a small minority.
That being said, I wouldn't say that marijuana is good for you either. It isn't. You're inhaling smoke into your lungs and affecting your brain chemistry. There are mental and physical health benefits but to ignore the mental and physical health risks is just plain dumb.
I have assessed the risk/reward ratio for myself and have found that the benefits for my level of use outweigh the risks. Not everyone is like me though and not everyone can safely use.
