Is marijuana as bad as everyone says it is?


Question:
i used to smoke marijuana to calm myself down, and also so i can sleep at night. Are there really all those bad side effects?

Answers:
Yeah it can deff. mess up your brain after a while. Slows reactions, etc.
Naw, it won't hurt you.
i have no idea, never touched the stuff never will.
Duh
no... its worse.
no. its all hype to keep it illegal.

the only reason it is illegal in the first place is because the textile industry was losing money to hemp products so they fabricated some research to say it promoted deviant behavior and was bad for you and sh!t..

its actually harmless.. well, other than lung cancer. but new studies show printers and photocopiers are actually worse for your lungs than second hand smoke, so we're all gonna die of lung cancer anyway..
Yes. Especially if you have any mental issues, and if you don't, it will give you some, like short term memory loss.
Yes.
to calm yourself down and sleep eh, whats the difference between taking zanax or sleeping aids, marijuana is natural

no bad side effect if used in moderation

it might be worse for you than ciggarettes but cigarette smokeres smoke 10+ cigarettes a day, if you smoke to fall asleep or calm yourself down, what 4-5 rips from the jay, only a few times day, or even better from a bong, or the new ways of smokeless vapor, with zero neg effects on the health
causes more cancer than cigarets, but tis not as bad as the gov commercials
Nothing like Marijuana..!!!

'Welcome to the Hotel California'.....Bro!
i heard that one marijuana joint can be as bad as 3 cigarettes so, yea.
I've used it a few times and have never experienced anything bad from it. I also know lots of people who use it practically every day, and theyre as fine as ever. There are loads of worse drugs out there.
The people that say yeah probably havent tried it..
i think the goverment is trying to make it sound horrible for you until they find a way to put a tax on it. after that who knows it might be legal in all states.

i dabbled with it when i was a freshman in high school but after my first time using a water b.ong i'll never use again.
There are more negative aspects than positive, but in reality it is much less addictive and dangerous than any other drug out there. I don't see any problem with smoking it on occassion.
drugs like marijuana arent ever good for anything. Side effects may develop later on in life
sure there is-addiction.
Your not yourself when you use the stuff, and you begin to think you can't live without the drug.
marijuana=bad idea
Now studies show that long term use can cause phycotic behavior. It does the total opposite to me, I am wake for hours on end if I do any the only time I have anything to do with it is when I am suicidal two tooks is all it takes to change a persons thinking!
yea. ur probably gunna die 20-30 years before ur supposed to.


nice mistake.
ewww...
YES. Smoking ANYTHING is bad for you!
And marijuana is illegal!
That is stupid to smoke. You could lung cancer out of lots of things...
It's worse than you can imagine.
i think so yea but i know for a fact that it makes u gain weight which is bad enough
Yes, smoking one joint is equal to smoking 5 cigarettes. It can also cover up medical issues (like insomnia) that you should see a doctor for.
I came from the 60+ era and the stuff grown was more organically trustworthy. Now I wouldn't trust what they put in it and how it's grown. Crazy people out there! Besides, its illegal-zero tolerance now. Times have changed and so have laws.
Its just like beer. If you start to smoke too much it can be bad. But with moderation, there's nothing really bad about it. Other drugs, however, are pretty bad.
Did you have bad side affects when you smoked it?? Well there's your answer then.
yeah plus it's illegal. didn't you ever pay attention in health class. You should really stop and find something else that helps you sleep and calms you down. also you should probably see a professional i know it sounds bad and i'm not trying to be mean but drugs aren't things that you should mess around with without a professional. you should look into getting some help so you can quit. i give you the best of luck and i really hope that you can stop using harmful drugs.
I use it for the same thing and it helps me. Now, even when I'm not smoking it, I'm actually more relaxed and layed-back because it has taught me that life works better when you don't stress about every little thing. So apart from this one positive side effect, I don't have any negative ones.
There is an upside and a downside to everything. Pot isn't as dangerous as alcohol, and nobody has ever died from an overdose. But as with everything else, you must be responsible. Don't do it when you shouldn't. Like before driving or work. Doing it all the time isn't good either. It makes you lethargic and lazy. It also makes you stupid while you're high. There is a time and a place, and it isn't everywhere, all the time.
