Marijuana

[Kovita]

Just gonna weigh in here in case anyone thinks my opinion matters:

1. Burning plant matter and inhaling the stuff that comes out is bad for your respiratory system and probably causes cancer to boot. There are no known exceptions.

2. For God's sake, just talk with some long-term pot-heads for a while (BEFORE you start). Those people are forgeted up. They breathe and talk like tobacco smokers but they think very slowly and make boatloads of cognitive errors. Their long- and short-term memories are also pretty shot.

Seriously the burden of medical evidence today is still to prove that marijuana is extremely healthy, because the long-term detrimental effects are freakin' blatant. Not that I expect any such proof will ever occur, because really, what does it do? Releive pain, lower stress? There's plenty of ways to do those things without getting high. Marijuana users who consider the above two points and do it anyway simply hate life and want a taste of oblivion now and again. Sorry, but the universe is too awesome for me to intentionally lower my capacity to experience and correctly understand it, even assuming it were briefly.

lol

you could say the same about alcohol but thats legal

I'm agreeing with you on every single point, which is why I don't smoke 24/7.

I have friend that are just like what you discribed, and you can tell the toke every single day for more than a year. They're thinking is beyond slow, and they don't feel like doing anything but toking up.

Continued use of ANYTHING is bad for you. Now and again potheads, or anything else, is fine. Long term pot heads, alcoholics, nerds, anything, they're all forgeted up.

Our body is not good at regenerating tissue. Doing anything that can actually harm that tissue is probably pretty permeant. Sure, long-term overeating may be bad for you, but it's not likely to permanently hurt you.

When you look at tobacco, congress is pretty much making it as illegal as possible. They tax it a lot, plaster the containers with warnings, etc. I think right now they are focused on getting as few possible people to use it before they make it illegal.

Depending on how you smoke it, such as if you smoke a joint you are getting plant residue and paper in your lungs and yes that's bad for you, but then compare that to cigarettes, you get tobacco plus all the additives and chemicals they put in cigarettes, that's why cigarettes kill. If you smoke from a pipe you're still getting burning plant residue and that's still bad for your body, but marijuana doesn't have all those additives and chemicals that are put into a normal cigarette. The best ways to consume marijuana are either a vaporizer or in food.

For the rest we can't really believe that's true, There's a lot of stoners who are everyday people, there's people out there with great jobs, stressful at best and come home and smoke a little join and continue on with their day. It's all really based on your personality and what kind of person you are like.

Most stoners are extremely down-to-earth people. Everyone comes from different walks of life, and apparently, Tom doesn't wish to expand his thoughts about others' lives beyond his.

This entire paragraph is hilarious because you're a friend that lives with his mother at age 25 and has never had a serious relationship, if any at all.

That's what the weed's for.

You keep failing to realize that studies do show that stoners have very different outcomes later in life. There is a correlation between normal marijuana users and having a worse life later on. Even though we cannot prove if marijuana causes this, we can see that marijuana users are typically less successful.

Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that increasing cannabis use in late adolescence and early adulthood is associated with a range of adverse outcomes in later life. High levels of cannabis use are related to poorer educational outcomes, lower income, greater welfare dependence and unemployment, and lower relationship and life satisfaction. The findings add to a growing body of knowledge regarding the adverse consequences of heavy cannabis use.

Results. We found no significant differences between the two groups on reported levels of income and education in their families of origin. However, the heavy users themselves reported significantly lower educational attainment (P<0·001) and income (P=0·003) than the controls, even after adjustment for a large number of potentially confounding variables. When asked to rate the subjective effects of cannabis on their cognition, memory, career, social life, physical health and mental health, large majorities of heavy users (66–90%) reported a ‘negative effect’. On several measures of quality of life, heavy users also reported significantly lower levels of satisfaction than controls.

Just because you've used cannabis and haven't had any problems with it doesn't mean that you're not going to experience any problems with it 10 years from now.
