Some People Think It Is But They Are WRONG!!!
Simple Reason... They Think It Is Harmful Caz Of The Tobacco That Is Used With It When Rolled/Smoked!
Tobacco Is Harmful And Full Of Chemicals And Does Whatever It Does!
But Cannabis Is Far From Harmful, If It Was Why Would Doctor's Give It To MS Sufferers TO HELP Them!?!?
And Why Would It Be Legal In Other Country's?!?!
And Why Have The British Government Tried To Legalise It A Number Of Time But Because Of One British Mp (********, Lol) It Has Failed!
Plus I Have Read Article's Saying It Can Help You And Not Harmful!
And No Not Article's From Some "Potheads" Mag, A Science Mag! (Not A Geek, Lol)
So To Some Up,
No Cannabis Is NOT Harmful!!

1) With respect to inhaling any kind of smoke:
When combustion occurs it is normally incomplete and doesn't produce just carbon dioxide and water.
a) It is a simple checkable fact that cigarettes produce at least 4,000 chemicals.
Some of these chemicals are harmful e.g. carbon monoxide, various cancer-cusing chemicals.
b) I suspect that cannabis and herbal cigarettes also produce toxic smoke. I am more interested in this approach to cannabis smoke toxicity than the more difficult medical, psychological, sociological and mixed studies that have been done.
2) I feel that eating cannabis may not be harmful, and would probably be useful for someone on chemotherapy.
3) I would be worried about the psychological effect of cannabis on potentially vulnerable people whose lives might not be stable enough e.g. me.

I don't think...I KNOW!! Studies on teenage cannabis users have discovered that they're more likely to develop cannabis psychosis. It will also bring on schizophrenia prematurely. That is why it's still illegal....and the government now realises that they did a huge mistake by dropping it from a class B drug to a class C. Though there is only one recorded death through it's use in the UK in recent years, this is not accurate. During post-mortems they don't look at the cause as being cannabis or tobacco use...and they all get put under "smoking"...you are more likely to get mouth/throat cancers from cannabis as it burns at a much higher temperature to normal tobacco.

Once I would have said `no` but lately I have changed my mind. I have seen many young people, mostly young men, who have had their lives badly affected by cannabis/weed.
We all know of them and we can all picture them, spliff, coffee, playstation, no job, no self confidence, paranoid and stuck inside the house, venturing out just for a few moments to buy Kit Kats, Kingsize Silvers and sign on.
I guess that since they have been growing genetically modified weed and it`s strength has increased by a huge amount over the last few years that the problem has grown proportionately.
I gather that the Europeans consider it now to be as damaging as heroin.
I have witnessed many sad people who have been badly affected by weed. It is becoming a modern tragedy, mostly hidden from the mainstream and it is producing a new underclass.
And of course the poor victims think they are having a great time.

nope not at all. Well at least i think that because i agree that it should be legalized just like tobacco is legal. if cannabis causes cancer then why do they also sell tobacco legally. Also if alcohol impairs abilities then why is it legal. this is something that i dont get and its just stupid. So i think that cannabis is not harmful as others think it is. Besides all drugs even legal drugs cause alter ones body so i dont get why it might be harmful.

only if you drop the joint and burn your house down!.
they do claim there is side effects, like paranoia. Myself im simply not interested in waisting my money on smoking a plant, which could be used for better use.

No, studies show it is safer than alcohol.
It should be used responsibly though because it impairs your motor skills. No driving or working while you are high.
