Generally the side effects of pot are mental, although no definite links have been proven. Although after prolonged use it is believed to increase chances of getting depression, psychosis and most people believe it makes them more paranoid which is a short term effect at first but can become a permanent state.

There have actually been studies done that prove people have better retention of information they get while under the influence of pot. As for side effects... you have to consider the fact that you are sucking smoke into your lungs and, (if you're doing it right) holding it in as long as possible. This increases your risk for cancer. Marijuana has also been linked to decreased sex drive, decreased testosterone/sperm count in men, and increased testosterone/decreased fertility in women. Unlike controlled drug, there isn't a list of ingredients for marijauna. It can be treated with chemical toxins to increase its effect.
Marijuana does leave THC in your system. That is what is detected during drug tests. The amount of THC from one joint anc be found in testing for up to 11 days after its smoked (and who only smokes one joint every couple of weeks). It also leaves THC in the hair shafts. That remains present until the hair is cut or falls out.
Does it leave 'someones' in your system. Well... unlike booze, I don't know of anyone who smoked so much they woke up the next morning naked with someone they didn't remember going to bed with.

The Cardiac well being facility that rebuilt my coronary heart insists that I take marijuana and a couple of of my different medical doctors propose the comparable. Who am I to circulate up against discovered practitioners? the only people who oppose pot are people who stand to lose the main funds if it is going to become criminal ... I.E., The Oil companies, The fabrics Industries, The Printing businesses and the Newspapers, and the DuPonts who've a patent on white bleached paper. Hemp Oil will make vehicle engines run 500,000 miles devoid of substantial maintenance. Hemp outfits are virtually indestructible, even by using generations of four 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds. Hemp paper does not placed on out rapidly ... our shape is written on hemp paper. the final ingredient they challenge approximately is human beings getting extreme on it. Plus, in the event that they only grew male plant life, no one might desire to get extreme on it besides ... it somewhat is in elementary terms the female plant that gets one extreme. it could even treatment lungs that have been broken by using tobacco. in the event that they could make oil out of it why can no longer they make gasoline? think of making use of WEEDS for gasoline. we would be completely oil self sustaining very rapidly ... and the pollution might scent large. whilst they make it criminal which will wipe out the drug cartel's pastime in it and the government.can sell it and pay off a number of their debt with it. Oppose it? i will help improve it in the event that they pick some help. Dang! there are various sturdy issues approximately Hemp that it a techniques outweighs something undesirable ... and there won't be something undesirable approximately it except somebody, like the government.back in 1935 starts a propaganda marketing campaign against it! Legalize it! i'm Dartagnon

With each smoke comes 3x the cancer producing chemicals than cigarettes. Pot kills brain cells each time you smoke it. It can leave your system after 3 years. All drugs are detected in hair samples for 3 years. Worth the risk? I think not.

well first it depends on the quality of your weed. Its kind of hard to explain, but i usually feel like I'm zoning in and out and my body actually starts swaying in circles. i noticed that with alot of my friends too. also your eyes will get red, and sometimes you hear things. i usually hear bells or children yelling lol. most people get munchies and then you pass out. and it eventually will leave your system. but other than that, its really fun and you get really relaxed =)

Just so we are clear too...it has not been proven that pot kills brain cells, I can tell you what it does do but it is kinda hard to explain (refers to the short term memory thing)
ALCOHOL KILLS BRAIN CELLS and thats a fact!
