A Critical Standpoint on Smoking Marijuana

That doesn't make it completely harmless, but it's remarkably non-toxic especially when compared to other recreational drugs (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine and heroin are the five most popular; it's pretty easy to pick out the one that's least harmful).
And call me crazy, but I think there are certain health benefits to smoking pot even for people who don't have certain serious diseases. I've found it help me with nausea and appetite problems when I have a cold, for instance. It also reduces stress, which is bound to have a positive impact on health. Laughter is also thought to be good for health. And although I may be more likely to get bronchitis, I know it's now extremely unlikely I'll ever develop glaucoma. That's not to say the health benefits outweigh the health risks for the recreational smoker, but at worst it's a mixed blessing.ermitonto Reviewed by ermitonto on . A Critical Standpoint on Smoking Marijuana After reading these forums for around a month, and attempting to comprehend certain statements that have been made about smoking marijuana, Iā??ve decided to write a few of my thoughts about this ever so interesting plant. Let me first say that in no way am I against people smoking it, and I hope you can try to listen what Iā??m attempting to get across with an open mind. Hopefully it will make for good discussion, as I am trying to understand why certain people think they way they do about Rating: 5
