Let's face it, smoking weed is funny. It makes a pretty boring night into the funniest you've ever known and it's a pretty social thing if there's more than one person there.
That's about it for good bits. Now let's be realistic.
It can cause serious, permanent, long term, memory damage. My short term memory has only just recovered in 2006 from a massive amount of strong weed I smoked in 2002. It can do that to people.
It can cause lung disease. Yes, it doesn't cause cancer, that's another good thing. But it has more tar than tobacco. It causes emphysema and other nasties.
It can make slight mental illness problems very bad.
It will cause paranoia to some extent. Some people never fully recover from that bit.
So, it's fun, it's funny as hell, it's less likely to give you cancer and it's social as a group activity. But it has some serious downsides that could become major consequences in your later life.

I think if somebody has lots of pain it could help. Also, I have heard it can cure glaucoma. Also, maybe for very very healthy otherwise well adjusted thinkiers or artists its ok once in awhile. For most average or not well adjusted folks, I would say just don't do it. Nobody should smoke it often I think. Rastas would not agree with me. Thats their right. Most cos might not agree either, thats their right.

It is used for stimulating appetite, especially for AIDS and cancer patients, pain relief, lowering high internal eye pressure found in glaucoma patients, reducing nausea and vomiting, help with headaches, relieving spasticity in MS patients, and relieving asthma. Tea made from marijauna is usually recommended over smoking it, as there are less harmful side effects associated with this delivery method.

i've been a cop for 35 years. seen more fatalities caused by alcohol that marijuana smokers. the one real good, non medical reason i can see is the weed smokers are not as dangerous behind the wheel as drunks
