I could go into this but..I will say weed is far less dangerous then drinking and far less harmful then cigs. but because they are legal, it is okay..someone prove the "GATEWAY" theory to me with out sounding stupid !! It cannot be done, cause weed has far more benefits then any pharmaceutical drug made..and it will not KILL you like drinking and smoking cigs. both are also addicting but it's okay cause it's legal..I find it hard to understand how a young man or woman at 18 yrs. old can in most cases vote and enlist in the military but cannot drink or smoke because they are under aged??

Yes, but a lot of people would disagree simply because it grows from the earth, weed causes paranonia, and agressive moods, it is a drepressant, so when people think it helps their mood it actually makes you feel worse, not to mention spaced out, it can also be addictive, thats proberly why your friend cant stop smoking it.

Most of us can drink socially and smoke pot now and then without becoming addicted to either. But some of us are born with the gene for alcoholism/addiction. Those who have this gene metabolize alcohol/drugs differently causing them to crave more and more. The only solution is to stop completely. Unfortunately, for many, the decision to stop doesn't come until their lives lay in ruin. Organizations such as Al-Anon, Ala-Teen or Narc-Anon may be able to give you some good advice.

when i was 21 i had an eating disorder and was very under weight,
my doctor was going to hospitalize me unless i started gaining weight, so i started smoking weed to help me feel hungry. i'm not underweight anymore, and not overweight, i feel great! i still smoke
and dont have any health problems at all. smoking weed isnt as bad
as everyone makes it sound.

Only 2% of people who smoke, get addicted to it. There is nothing in weed that physically makes you addicted to it, like a cigarette does. It's a mental addiction. You like the high so you want it everyday. So, just spark one.

I smoked for 10 years with no ill effects. It may do some harm, but I never noticed any.

There is evidence that marijuana is worse than cigarettes. People who just say that get that from their friends who heard that rumor probably from people who profit off of people like your friend who smokes weed. Stupid potheads.

If you want to help your friend tell a trusted adult. Yes, it's very bad for your health and can affect you for the rest of your life. Unfortunatly kids don't seem to understand that.
