As we know that aging is a natural phenomenon, I would like to know does smoking marijuana interferes with the natural process of aging? Does it increase
or decrease the process of aging?

I would like the members to put some light on this matter.

I've been smoking weed off and on, since DEC 1967. I don't think it helps, anything...nor, do I think it hurts, anything. IMO....:thumbsup:

Aging, is in the genes.

I dont know if smoking marijuana interferes with the natural process of aging, but i have heard that as soon as you start having sex the aging process speeds up.

But, I think you are more interested in "cosmetic" aging- how you look.

Smoking anything will give you lines around your mouth- as will using a soda straw, whistling or playing a flute! (So smile a lot and they don't show! ;) ) My hair is dark with a few silver "sparkles", I get around pretty well, my health is good, and most folks guess I'm in my late 40s/early 50s, when I'm in my 60s. They are shocked to find that I have a 34 year old son! Partly good genetics, but I think cannabis plays a role, too.

Incidentally, my only "beauty treatment" consists of rubbing my face, hands and arms with hemp seed oil (from the health food store) most evenings. I rarely use makeup (job interviews, parties, etc). I use Dr. Bronner's hemp oil soap (also at the h.f. store. great stuff, TRY IT!).

Stress definitely ages you! Cannabis relieves stress. I work in a rather high stress job (special ed), but I'm there, smiling, every day! Cannabis helps me "let go" of my job every night. :thumbsup:

I believe smoking of any kind dehydrates you so I drink plenty water to stop my skin drying. :)
