^Do you have a link? Excellent information none the less if its true.

Weed is virtually harmless. It is still "bad" for you, but any extensive research on this matter is hard to come across, and there really is no general consensus about the health risks of marijuana and I think that is a problem. There needs to be extensive research done on the health risks and benefits of smoking Marijuana, since I think there are both health and psychological benefits and dangers.

I disagree with anyone who says weed can not be addicting. I know people personally that become extremely irritable and agitated when they have not been high or are prevented from getting high. Then once they get high, everything is all better and they seem like completely different people. IMO, thats a clear sign of an addiction. I know plenty of people that have commited crimes and done some pretty shady stuff just to get a hold of some weed. I know people that refuse to take part in any activity without getting high, including even going to work in which they smoke there too. It is in these cases where I consider weed "BAD", and why many people feel the same way.

There is a fine line between addiction and desire though. As long as you limit the amount of time you smoke, and use it as something to do as a "treat" and not something you just do because you have to do it to feel normal, I don't think there is really anything to worry about.

But on the other hand, even if you do need it to feel normal, there is always the question as to whats so wrong with that? People rely on medicine all the time. If it were accepted in society, I'm sure people would rely on marijuana just as well. A majority of the world has some sort of physical addiction, from anything from tobacco & alcohol, to perscription painkillers, TV, video games, and everything.. so why is an addiction to marijuana something that is so feared and looked down upon?
