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)

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.

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

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.

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

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.
