Question

what are the harmful effects of worrying??

Answer 1

Worrying causes stress....which is very harmful, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Here's something I got from a site:

Here are a few of the side effects of worrying:
Self-doubt – It is a downward spiral that focuses on the negative and why things cannot be done versus why things can be done. It is a sinkhole, a debilitating attitude and a terrible habit.
Mediocrity – Capable people who worry are rendered incapable of accomplishing their intended goal. Worry makes you peck around on the ground like a chicken when you were intended to soar like an eagle.
Fright – People who worry are not being cautious or thinking things over; they are simply scared. Running scared is the enemy of success, peace, contentment, happiness, joy and laughter.
No spark – The excitement is gone. Worry lets the air out of all you do, draining the fun and excitement from everything.
No creativity – The freedom to be creative is squelched by worry. You simply cannot excel to your full potential when worry controls your thoughts.
Improper shaping – You are molded and shaped by your thinking, and worries should not shape your future.
Hazy results – Those who worry are second-guessing themselves, which produces a hesitancy that brings with it an unclear focus. Such a hazy goal will produce a hazy result.
Bad habits – Worrying is a habit, the result of preconditioning and years of practice. The destructive habit of worrying turns people into prisoners.
Physical ailments – The body reacts adversely to internal worries. John Edmund Haggai insightfully stated, “A distraught mind inevitably leads to a deteriorated body.”
Wasted time – Over 90 percent of what you worry about never comes to pass. To worry is to waste time; therefore, the more you worry, the less you accomplish.
Make the decision for yourself to live life worry-free. It is not only possible, but it is also very enjoyable!

Answer 2

It does not kill brain cells. The only bad things it will do to him, is that if he smokes too much (like everyday,) and doesn't let the THC ever leave his system (it takes 30 days) then his short term memory might go. Mine is so bad right now, it's kind of funny. Oh, but your memory comes back if you just stop smoking for a few weeks. Also, he'll get sick more from putting his mouth where other people's mouths just were. Other than that, as long as it's a hobby and not the focal point of his life, then he's okay.
