Does WEED really harm you?

Question

Question: does weed really harm you or do we harm ourselves?

Answer 1

It will damage your short term memory part of your brain. But the biggest thing is using it so much that you miss out on what life has to offer. You'll be able to think and talk about what you're going to do but kicking back and enjoying the moment {a lot} will steal your time away. Everyone is born with stuff that makes them special and gives them potential to do so much. When you smoke weed it weakens and procrastinates your potential and the next thing you know you've missed out on the best part of your life.

Answer 2

Weed can harm a person. It has shown in scientific studies that it does, but in a very mild way. Alcohol and cigarrettes are more damaging than weed combined. It is just that it has been conditioned in us from the time we can remember that weed is bad. Why don't they make alcohol illegal? That would solve more problems than arguing until faces are blue that people should or shouldn't be allowed to smoke pot. Would that happen? Very unlikely.

(Ironic isn't it? People are proud that they are the 2% of teenagers that have not smoked marjuana. But, unfortunately most statistics are made up, or exaggerated to their fullest extent. Perhaps it is more than 2%, maybe even lower. But who are we to judge those who do it, on a regular basis, or who have tried it? When we are a society raised on drugs. Oh you got a cold, let's go to the doctor and get some banana medicine! You have hayfever, let's get some Claritan. I have a headache, I'll pop 2 tylenol. You're nauseated, let's get some more pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is obvious the point I am trying to make, we have DRUGS for almost every ailment out there, whether it be big or small. And some people are on these drugs 24/7, and are actually high on them. Fact is, marjuana is not as bad as it sounds. Especially compared to some of the perscription drugs out there. If you look into some news articles about perscription drugs, you'd be surprised to find out that taking them resulted in DEATH. That's right. Pot however, does not kill you. Drinking alcohol is more harmful, and is legal almost everywhere in the world. Let reality sink in a bit more, and you may realize there is more in front of your eyes than you could ever imagine. Shocking stuff, arggh.

Just thought I'd blab seeing all the people with the tag about being the 2% that has not smoked weed.) A little something I blabbed about before.

I don't like it, but I find it unfortunate that people think so ignorantly.

Answer 3

Ive been smokin the the herb for over 10 yrs and I truly believe that the smoke intake into the lungs probably will be harmful after the years pass. . . but THC (as a naturally grown substance) has more benefits to it than any other man made drug on the planet. So I say SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY! (it will keep you away from Psychiatrists lol)

Answer 4

I truly believe we harm ourselves. Im sick of people who blame their 'addiction' instead of themselves. I know people who can enjoy drugs then put it away at the end of the night, I also know people who cant. It all comes down to your willpower, what you REALLY want. Ive been an every day pot smoker, but now Im not, its just not an issue, I simply wont let it take over my life, but I know people who say they 'cant' do this. Thats ridiculous. You ARE in control, no matter what! If more people could take responsability for themselves, then drugs wouldnt be a problem!

Answer 5

you probably high right now,why you ask this stupid question,first you asked does weed really harm us or do we harm ourselves,do we harm ourselves? are you some kind of hippie would do u mean we harm ourselves,if you chose 2 smoke that's on u,ain't no one gon force u to

Answer 6

this is a huge question. users will tell you its harmless, authorities will tell you otherwise. its safer than booze, grows on god's earth, but is so strong now you may kiss your ambition goodbye. it is not legal to use, so govern yourself accordingly. as far as harming ourselves, we all do. falling down, scraping a knee, or becoming horribly addicted to drugs....some of us have a genetic predisposition to addiction. look at your family tree. some ethnic trees have not "used" certain substances enough in the long run to develop tolerances for the substance. alcohol, marijuana, both socially acceptable, yet both have their issues. a HUGE question. lots of opinions on this one, i bet.

Answer 7

You will hear from both sides i'm sure . Like anything else it depends on how responsible the user is. One joint isnt going to make you an axe murder , and you wont be able to function if your stoned all day. I know people on both sides. Everybodys different.

Answer 8

both....weed harms you and people know that but do in anyway so they are harming themselves.

Answer 9

I smoke weed all day, everyday. I think it's mostly safe, but it does cause financial strain and makes me tired.

Answer 10

Well, let's see ... You smoke a bunch of joints and you kill braincells (Hurting yourself) and then you get into your car and try to drive home, get into an accident and kill someone's child (Hurting others). So... Grow up.
