weed.. is it really thattt bad for you?

[MyMARYJANE]

i know this is a dumb question, but how bad is weed reallly?? long term and short term? I've heard diff. things as to whether it causes cancer or not, but say you smoke about 3 or 4 times a week.. is it really going to have a hugee effect? (ie: can it kill you) I know there have been no reported deaths directly linked to marijuana, but what are some of the things that it cannnn do to you and how serious can it be? (i know it depends)

[Frivolous248]

I really don't think its bad at all. Lots of people smoke every day for a long time and it doesn't ever seem to catch up with them. I haven't heard any stories of people getting lung cancer from weed, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did, but I haven't heard of it yet.

[kingkewl]

WEll... put it this way.... we have recepitors in our brains for THC...like...it's 'sposed to be there.. end of story...lol :pimp:

[are you kind]

the only bad thing weed does to you is make you forget things you were supposed to do and it eats up money real quick (in both weed and food).

also it can get you a ride to jail and make your girlfriends parents hate you

[WakingDream]

You about sumed it all up there, good job.

[MonkeyRacket]

It's a psychotropic and it can bring out psychological illness in certain people; if you feel that you might be experiencing problems such as severe anxiety or auditory hallucinations you should stop using it. Other than that, it's not very toxic at all. Drinking enough alocohol or eating a carton of cigarettes will kill you, it is nearly impossible to die from THC/CBN overdose. It does speed up metabolism and heart rate as well as lower blood pressure but I don't think this is necessarily harmful unless you have other medical conditions. Obviously smoking anything is not going to be great for you, it has been shown that cannabis does not bring on bronchitis, emphazema or COPD to the same extent as tobacco smoke but you might want to look into vaporizing or cooking if you are worried about your health.

[chisme]

smoked weed for allmost 9 years everyday now everyday meaning on average about 6-9 joints a day.

my attitude can be happy if im un stressed people find i have become mroe of a stresshead lately like if someone argues with me sometimes i have trouble letting go now. ive become a sorta perfetionist at heart. some times i get a bit paranoid in the house on my own like erm ill hear soemthing thatll sound like a scary movie like the noise from grudge? u knwo the sucky uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu noise then i go all wierd and have to stand back to the wall so i see everthing goin on around me.

u knwo when u say ok im not scared in the least when u say walk into a really dark house....then when your at the worts point the nerves set in and its like "im ok" ..... "im ok"............(nerves)..FUCKING GET ME OUTTA HERE

i cant really say its the weed thou it might just be the way i am.

only definate bad thing cannabis is doin to me is damaging my teeth but there fucked anyway so fuck it. lol

[SensiRide]

I do think its bad for you when smoke excessively, but then anything is bad for you when not done in moderation.

I smoke a joint a day but ideally would like to smoke one per week becuase my short term memory is fucked as a result of heavy toking for at least 5 years.

[Reefer Rogue]

No.

Cannabis is not bad at all.

The smoke has no links to any form of cancer, including lung cancer.

No one has ever got cancer, or died from cancer due to cannabis smoke.

THC can do many many things to help people, and can reduce the risk of cancer, and if you already have it, it can control it.

Cannabis is the safest thing in this world, NEVER DOUBT IT!!!

Smoke as muh as you can, whenever you can, and kill a few cops along the way.

Yes. It is a vile weed, much worse than cocaine or heroin. Marihuana, as it is called by the Mexicans, is brought up from the border by Mexican drug cartels. Afro jazz musicians smoke it, for it slows down time and allows them to include extra notes, also known as "devil notes", into their horrid music. These "devil notes" are called so because listening to such filth can turn one into a worshipper of Satan.

Why, even one hit from this "reefer" can turn you into a psychopath, and ingesting this substance orally can cause one to become a cannibal. Lock your doors, hide your children, and for God's sakes, don't give in to the reefer madness! Oh, and every time you take a hit, the baby jesus cries. There's also something about communism I believe.

Nah, I'm just kiddin ya's.

Sorry about that, I'm high.

That was pre-meditated kiddin'. :cool:

I wish my pain waited a week.

[CrAzYpOtHeAd]

Short term memory loss, it can also be mentally addictive but cig's and alcohol is proberly more addictive anyway (cigs are phyically addictive). Its one of the safest drugs known to man. It could also make you put on some weight if u get the munchies alot. Thats about it really, oh yea, and the smoke proberly is'nt good for your lungs but you can digest marijuana anyway, but that just takes a whole lot more weed, and you can also buy a vap.

LMAO, you realize that this is a STUDY, and there are studies that say the exact opposite.

You need to also realize that if a person smoked cannabis and cigarettes their whole life it would be impossible to tell which one caused the cancer. So don't spew this bullshit about how weed smoke can't cause cancer because that isn't a fucking scientific fact yet. If you use the right participants and materials you can get a "study" to say just about anything. The bottom line is at this point there is no conclusive evidence to say it does or does not cause cancer, nobody knows yet-but common sense should tell you that smoke is bad for your lungs.

I think it's funny how I was the only one in the old thread claiming that there were some negative sides associated with weed, and there's atleast 7 or 8 ppl in here agreeing with me now, but nobody would in the old thread:thumbsup:

Also, smoking marihuana can cause men to grow breasts and turn into Pagan homosexuals. Marihuana causes a chemical imbalance in the brain which opens up a direct psychic link to the Prince of Darkness. The feeling of being high on marihuana is extremely horrible, with such symptoms as dry mouth, excessive coughing, migraines and terrifying hallucinations. But the only way to stop the symptoms is to listen to the voices in your head caused by Satan which tell you to eat babies and rape elderly people in the street. But marihuana severely affects the memory so the user then thinks the experience was pleasant, which drives him to take more of the drug and become an addict.

Wow... you sure showed him. lol, and its still safer drug then Cig's and alcohol, and not everyone smokes marijuana and tabaco, and noone has reported cancer caused due to smoking pot. So the chances of pot giving you cancer is proberly very unlikly, also you can digest pot. Which means no smoke would be entering your lungs. Yes they are some negative affects but this effects are temporary. But it can have diffrent effects on diffrent people.

[Oneironaut]

I bet someone who only eats/drinks weed would suffer no ill health effects whatsoever.

[orangeman]

It's not bad at all so shut the fuck up :D.

If you read, i didnt say it cant cause cancer did i? NO!

I said that it has never been linked with cancer... YES, which is true.

Im not saying that it cant cause cancer, any smoke can, but i belive its a hell of alot safer than tobacco and probs has a lesser chance of causing cancer than tobacco.

You need to read little boy.

Where? By who, your Guidance Counselor?

Cannabis cures Cancer, it doesn't promote it.

[friendowl]

weed gets you fucking horny and might lead to an unwanted pregnancy.
go to cosco and get a crate of magnum condoms just in case you toke

[Swizzy89304]

This is what I believe:

SMOKING cannabis can cause lung damage/cancer... but theres probably a bigger chance of getting cancer from breathing in all those damn car exhaust fumes each day.
Cannabis CAN make you lazy... if you smoke indicas all the time.
But most importantly...
Cannabis is FUN. And at the end of the day, thats what matters, right? Oh, and of couse were all MENTALLY addicted to it. Dont deny it. Its not a bad addiction, like cigarettes or alcohol, but a healthy addiction in my eyes, as long as you dont overdo it. Because at the end of the day, everything we enjoy doing is an addiction. Coming onto cannabis.com - ADDICTION. Drinking coke/pepsi - ADDICTION. Watching TV - ADDICTION. Listening to music at 50,000 decibels - ADDICTION.

Your so very right.

I openly admit im addicted to cannabis, mentally, but if i stop i dont start getting angry or getting the shakes or anything like that.

It is a healthy addiction.

If i had to choose between letting my child drink alcohol, or smoke weed, it would be weed, cos i know that he wont end up killing himself or killing someone else in a drunken rage... He'll be making love and bring world peace.

If you're claiming there are ZERO studies exsisting that show a harmful effect of marijuana smoke to lungs you have never done any research on pot, ever. I'm not your fucking mommy and daddy, the studies are openly available on the internet, find them if you want to.
