It's safer then, say, tylenol, as far as that you can't OD on it...but the long-term effects of smoking anything can (though won't for all people) have a negative impact on your lungs (bronchitis, shortness of breath, increased risk of lung cancer)...you can eliminate that health risk though by eating it. Unless you've got a history of schizophrenia, I'm unaware of any other long-term health risks that have been verified by controlled medical studies.

There was a study that showed up recently though that it can increase the frequency of hallucinations in people with scizophrenia though.

mary jane is not without side effects. People have been known to commite suicide when they try to quit. The high is too powerfull for the brain to handle everyday and the nerves in your brain that cause happiness become worn out. When someone quits smoking those nerves cannot register everyday happiness and thus the smoker becomes depressed. Weed alone will not make this happen, circumstanses in life will do it in combination.

People overdose on tylenol all the time. It's a cheap way for kids to get attention.

The LD-50 of cannabis is somewhere in between 20,000:1 and 40,000:1 which means you'd have to take more smoke (or eating, if you prefer) into your body within a 15 minute timeframe than most are going to smoke their entire life.

Weed is way safer than any class A drug put it that way :D

Yeah, I know...and it takes a lot more tylenol then people realize to actually KILL someone, but it's physically possible. It's not with cannabis.

EDIT: Since you just edited your original point to make the point that I was making originally, this post is now pointless...

Yeah, sorry about that. I tend to edit when I realize that what I just posted was nowhere near the point I was trying to make.

One of the reasons weed makes ya feel so good is because it triggers the release of endorphins. You've only got so many, and if you smoke solid for around two weeks you won't feel as giddy or good as you did at the beginning.

bullshit. cannabis has never been shown to cause nerve damage. even the government studies oppose this view. some studies have even shown thc to cause neurogenesis, or the creation of new nerve cells in brain.

also bullshit. thc does not bind to endorphin receptors. it binds to cannabinoid receptors. the reason you dont feel as high after 2 weeks of binge smoking is because your body builds a tolerance to thc, not because you run out of endorphins.
