The risks of marijuana
I remember back in the day when my mom tried informing me on the dangers of marijuana....now I inform her on it's medical benefits
Much of the dangers you read about on the internet or hear from anti-pot people are just lies taken from outdated studies. I'd say the biggest danger is from smoking it, but that's what the recipe section is for

The risks of marijuana
i'm a relatively new toker, i first tired it around may 07. i used to think that weed was a bad thing, because in school and stuff every one tells you that its dangerous and it causes this and that. but after smoking it, i realized that what they say isnt true. i think the only bad thing about weed is smoking it, but hey people smoke cigarettes. i dont smoke too often, maybe a few times a month, and im the same person i was when i started, only i feel like i have some insight and a different perspective in life. i think the way "potheads" are portrayed in media is a little ridiculous. i dont really smoke to get "fucked up", it is kind of a spiritual thing. its easy for the big "important" people to say this and that about weed, but the first time i bought weed and looked at it, i realized it looked like a harmless little plant. its up to you man, if you think it has a negative impact on your life than dont do it, if not then keep tokin :smokin:

The risks of marijuana
smoking anything is bad for your cardiovascular system like your lungs and heart. its a psychoactive drug and it DOES change you mentally and can cause anxiety attacks and paranoia. i would say keep smoking and if you run into any problems just quit. nothing lasts forever.

The risks of marijuana
while it's not ideal to inhale any type of smoke into the lungs, there is a key difference between cannabis smoke and tobacco smoke. the nature of tobacco smoke causes the bronchial airways to constrict, making it difficult for the lungs to expunge the unhealthy matter (carcinogens). Whether MJ smoke has more or less carcinogens than tobacco is pretty irrelevant; MJ smoke causes the bronchial airways to DILATE, making it easier for the lungs to cleanse themselves. It expedites the process if you exercise a lot. I haven't perused the links provided by Storm Cow, but i bet there's something in there about how that specific property of cannabis smoke decreases cancer risk and curtails the process by which malignant cancer cells are nourished.
In short, be moderate, smoke only the best, exercise frequently, and let your body be its own gauge of whether what is being imbibed is healthy or not. Some people have a hard time using cannabis and functioning normally, but to others it can be monumentally helpful.

The risks of marijuana
There's negative impacts for doing just about anything in our life,
do you think milk is all good for your body?
hah, Marijuana is as common as groceries to me. Dietary needs or not. It's therapeutical, medicinal, spiritual, and i've seen it cure my friend's depression.
There's a risk in everything, it's all about what if you're willing to risk it. And Marijuana seems to give me way more than it takes.
