What are the actual side effects of smoking pot? Do they get worse the longer you do it? Which ones are lies?

Answer 1

Smoking pot can increase your short term memory loss not only when you're high, but it can effect it other times too if you are a regular smoker. It is not addictive physically, but many people psychologically depend on it to get through their day. You are damaging your lungs by smoking it, but it is not worse than cigarettes. Some people also experience anxiety, paranoia, and become apathetic. This doesn't happen to all people though, some people enjoy it recreationally and are still able to get everything they need to done. You can not overdose on pot, and the typical high lasts for 15min.-60 min.

Answer 2

It's hard to believe inhaling smoke is good for the lungs. So I'd think a lot of smoking anything can cause problems.

What else have you heard? Probably a lot is scare tactics. Some people think that getting people to stop smoking pot is so important that it doesn't matter what lies they tell to achieve their result.

Worse things are legal.

Answer 3

More than likely weight gain because smoking gives you the munchies. A psychologist once told me that smoking pot decreses your ability to think logically, which I believe to be true. It just plain makes you stupid over time. It's not worth the trouble in trying to hide it.

Answer 4

Marijuana has NO side effects what so ever, other then feeling relaxed. Smoking pot is completely harmless, certainly much safer than alcohol.

Answer 6
