For all you people that think marijuana is bad for you..?
Question:
I smoke - in the privacy of my own home - I do not bother anyone - I do not have the desire to try "harder" drugs - I am quite happy and content with weed - so it is NOT a gateway drug - I am a paralegal - 13 years - I am very good at my job. I only smoke in the evenings or on the weekends and not everyday. I do not desire to commit violent or criminal acts of any nature. It helps with stress and pain and other medical problems people have. It is not the "BAD" drug people try to make it out to be.
Answers:
I agree that marijuana isn't as dangerous or toxic as many substances and drugs out there that are legal, however it is behaviourly addictive and if people use it to help them sleep, deal with their problems, to relax, or whatever reason, they are not dealing with the root cause of their problems and it becomes a behavioural addiction.
Also there is quite a bit of residue that builds up in your lungs from smoking marijuana and that is a precurser to lung cancer.
I hope this helps.
Take care.

cheers! :)
I know.I dont think its bad! I dont know why its illegal and cigarrets are? I mean ciggarets CAN KILL YOU and marijuana cant!! they should make siggarets illegal not marijuana.All marijuana does is make you stupid if those people want to be stupid let them.
er... what was the question?
I totally agree with you. Some people, as with all things, can take it overboard, but alot of people enjoy it. I think it would behoove America to legalize Marijuana. For instance, in Amsterdam they have cafes where you can go in and enjoy a good blunt, no problem at all. Did you know that they have the lowest rate of addiction there? If it was legalized it would fix alot of problems and in the long run save money. Law enforcement wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort on this meaningless plant. I mean alcohol is legal and it can cause way worse drama and problems then marijuana from my experience.
yeah it is...but go ahead & justify it.
i can see how you think that marijuana is "helping you", because the drug messes with your brain, to be quite honest, when really you're just harming yourself. you may not have these desires yet, but you could develop them eventually. I'm not saying you have to quit, because it's ultimately your body and your life, but maybe you should be a little more aware of what you are really doing to yourself, because you seem a tad delusional to me, to be honest, if you thinking you're doing yourself good.
I'm not judging, or trying to be harsh, I'm just stating my opinion.
although i dont smoke weed i do agree that it is the least of our problems in this world. weed grows naturally and if it isnt tampered with it is safe to use in moderation. and to those who think its a gateway drug i say blah blah blah... the same should be said about ciggerates. its not the drugs that make a person try other drugs it is the persons lack of will power to say no to them when offered. so i say smoke it up if it relaxes you... the drug that ppl should be worrying about is Meth... it will totally destroy the user and their families i know because my cousin died at age 31 this year he had been a user for about 10 yrs
It may not be bad for" YOU", But it can cause all kinds of problems with other people. It actually gave my friend the worst anxiety attacks of her life. And I am not against marijuana myself but feel it is not for everyone. I think it is ok for recreational use, and for pain. But can cause a lot of mental health issues for some people. (chemical imbalance) So let's just hope that does not happen to you when you decide to quit using sometime.
Heh,according to a new research even one time use of marijuana increases the risk of scizophrenia by 41% .
I know many very successful professionals who share the same opinion as you. I prefer (my own preference) not to smoke marijuana but I do use alcohol from time to time. I don't really see any difference. I have seen a lot of people die of liver disease from alcohol but I can't remember seeing anyone die simply from smoking "weed"
