What is wrong with smoking pot?

Answer 1

Nothing as long as you don't operate machinery.

Answer 2

1.) It's illegal. Prison sucks.

2.) If you're stoned, you won't be doing anything to change the laws. Prison sucks.

3.) If you're a stoned student, you won't be doing as well as you could in school.

4.) Inhaling ANY smoke is bad for your health, no matter what your friends say. Ask a disabled firefighter.

5.) If your immune system becomes compromised, pot often has a fungus (you can't see it, but it's there) on it that can kill you.

6.) You have to buy it from a drug dealer.

7.) The effect is very unpleasant for some people. Makes them paranoid.

Other than that, if it's not used to excess, probably nothing.

Answer 3

I guess it depends on what you think wrong is.

It can make you really lazy. It can be a gateway to other drugs. It costs a lot of money. It can lower a man's sperm count. It can ruin your short term memory.

but...... it's fun. And as long as you can keep it under control, meaning do it occasionally, I don't think it's much more dangerous than drinking.

I've never heard of an accident from smoking pot... drinking on the other hand.

I'm sorry, but pot is not addictive. Maybe habit forming, but not addictive. I hate when people say that.

Answer 4

Aside from the legal ramifications not much.

It's not addictive,it's natural (which doesn't necessarily make it right, i know).

It can be therapeutic for some.- I'd rather smoke pot than take Ritalin for example.

Marijuana, unlike tobacco and alcohol, does not appear to cause head, neck, or lung cancer, says a researcher from Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore who presented findings from a study here recently at a meeting of internal medicine physicians.

So not much really

Answer 5

Pot destroys brain cells and impairs your judgement while you are "on" it. It's also illegal, and if you're caught with it in possession, then you could be facing jail time. You don't always know what's in it either. Unless you're growing it yourself, which is also illegal, then you don't know who's touched it, or what's been added to it. You're taking a huge risk with your life when you smoke pot.

Answer 6

I worked in a factory where I smelled all kinds of chemicals, probably killed more brain cells than smoking pot ever did.

Answer 7

its commonly known as the gateway drug, due to its effects. some people just smoke it to relax, but others do it for its feeling and their greed takes them to seek stronger solutions cocaine,crack,heroin,morphine,etc.So you can thank all the other substance abusers for adding fuel to the fire.I believe if there were no other illegal drugs this would be treated like the tobacco is today.Not a fan of pot because the way it smells feel the same for certain cigars.

Answer 8

It depends who you ask. There is nothing wrong or right about it. The government and law enforcement have the substance on a list of illegal substances, But it is not on the same list as some other more dangerous things. What's wrong with a pencil? Nothing- if you don't poke someones eye out with it.

Answer 9

While not physically addicting, marijuana can cause you to get depressed more easily. It affects your short term memory, gives you a "hung over" feeling, and can cause you to be grumpy, weight gain from munchies is also an issue. Also, it's hell on your lungs, even in a water bong.

No one has EVER OD'd on marijuana. Where do you people get your information from??

Answer 10

Nothing except it is illegal. I think they should ban cigarettes and alcohol and let us have pot. It's not addictive and you never hear of anyone killing someone in a car while they're on pot. Duh, if you're high you can't drive fast enough to do any damage!!!

Answer 11

Lol, who's saying "kills brain cells" it tickles them, you noobs.
There's nothing wrong with it, if you know how to handle it and control yourself. I figured this would get a lot of ignorant answers.
