Do you think smoking weed is bad?

Answer 1

There are numerous studies on both sides of the issue either claiming that marijuana is harmful to your health with long term effects, or that there is no evidence of such. I have read studies that say students who smoked 1-2 times per week actually increased their standardized test scores over students who didnt' and I've read studies that state that adults who smoked had slower reflexes over time than those who didn't. As with anything else in life there are always contradicting stands from one week to the next. From personal opinion, I know friends who are straight A students and excel at the top of their college class and others who are satisfied working at Walmart for minimum wage with no goals in mind. My opinion is that it is a recreational drug that is no different than alcohol with the exception that the government has told people it is illegal. As with anything else in life, if used in excess it can be harmful. But this is a decision that you should only make as an ADULT when you are mature enough to weigh the positive and negative consequences it could have on your life.

Answer 2

yes I do because I use to be a smoker people say it's not a drug but they don't know what they are talking about it is addictive as any other drug when you can't get it your body craves it bad you have bad mood swings,you pace the floor ,you call everyone that you know that smokes it to see if they know where you can fine you some people need to stop trying to say smoking weed is not bad I haven't smoked weed in almost seven years and I'm glad I quit and will never smoke it again yes it is a bad habit yes it is bad

Answer 3

nope.. if it was bad, they wouldnt have legalized it in soo many places (including canada).

weed is not addictive, no matter what anyone says. there have been numerous studies, and you cant be addicted.

ive smoked up every day for the last 4 years, and i love it. the worst it can do is slow ya down a bit while your stoned, and of course lung damage. smoking anything will cause that though, not just herbs. i smoke out of a bong though, so the toxins in the smoke arent nearly as bad for me as it would be if i smoke out of a bowl or joint. :)

Answer 4

Its being illegal aside, the weed of today is some 20 times stronger than the weed of the 1960s. Additionally, it is sometimes laced with other drugs, and therefore dangerous. In the 1980s people started asking for medical/psychological help for their marijuana habits--that was unheard of before then.

Answer 5

Smoking anything isn't good for your lungs and heart.It does make most people lazy too and it def slows down your reaction time and reflexes.As far as drugs go it is probably the least dangerous and the least likely to cause you to steal little old ladies pocket books for your next fix!

Answer 6

I think it depends on whether or not it is for medicinal purposes or not.If it is ,then I think there is nothing wrong with it.But otherwise I think that you shouldn't as long as it is illegal."Bad" is a matter of opinion.Of course I also believe that cigarettes and alcohol should be illegal if marijuana is illegal.It seems that the government is just "sitting" on the fence as to what is an allowable drug and what is not.If one is illegal than they all should be and vice versa.

Answer 7

Not at all you only live once. I think people don't understand why, when and were to use it those who use it for a party it's fine. It makes **** a lot more funny and those who have problems sleeping it helps you go to sleep and for those realy skinny as people that need to gain wieght it helps it makes you want to eat. The point I'm trying to get at use it to your need. God created it and I believe every thing was created for a reason find yours.

Answer 8

Depends on what kind of weed you smoke. Most forms of weeds being lit up as a cigarette form of inhalation is toxic, and even poisonous to your health.

If you refer to cannabis sativa, and forms of it. It is not necessarily bad in itself. It is the effects on you that make it bad. It destroys your lungs, and brain. In effect it makes you stupid. That's why they call it getting "Fried"

Answer 9

I think it's none of my business or the government's business if people want to do it, as long as I don't have to breathe their smoke. I think the same goes for tobacco. I have asthma, and smoke triggers my attacks. I think people have a right to smoke whatever they want, as long as they aren't harming other people (e.g. through secondhand smoke).

Answer 10

No, it's not bad. However, anything done in excess can become a bad thing. Be responsible with your smoking.
