That's a good question....I personally think that pot has been de-glamorized compared to other drugs (cocaine, heroin, etc). So most kids say "it's only pot, I could be doing worse things". However, besides the effects of the smoke (cancer risks, etc), there was a study that showed constant pot smoking cut down the electrical impulses between the hemispheres of the brain (the right and left side), which explained why frequent pot smokers seemed so lethargic and "dumb".

I would say because the real "pot" is organic, grown in the earth and because "pot" is much less dangerous than the other drugs out there.

Well, I think personally it can relieve stress adding 15 years to your life, yet if you are not a stressed individual to begin with this does not apply.. I do not think that Marijuana is cancerous but I know it damages the lungs from carbon monoxide alone. Everything that is smoke going into your lungs is going to hurt you. Marijuana is not as bad as cigarettes .<----Period Cigarettes are filled with carcinogenic material.

b/c they never hear of anyone actually dying from smoking it so they think it's fool proof. little do they know, it's the gateway drug. i know a guy who smoked weed for years, at LEAST 10 years everyday all day. he is the biggest loser ever and he never remembers anything and he talks reeeaaaaaalllllllllly slow. but kids look at him and go hey....see he's still alive.

They act like Smartasses about it now and think nothing is happening to them at the moment. The effects come when you are an adult.

Why do older people think booze (or cigarette/cigar smoking) is harmless to their health?
Everything's relative...

Same reason they think driving drunk won't hurt anyone. Everyone feels invincible when they are young. Didn't you?
