Marihuana is safe. Safer than most any other therapeutically active substance. The only conclusive results research has yielded on teen pot smoking is that in some males it creates an amotivational disorder that can make the user apathetic and lethargic. I actually believe I may be a sufferer of this disorder, but on the other hand I wrote my first screenplay and the first issue of my comic book while high.

Most doctors and scientists agree that no one under the age of 18 should smoke anything at all. If you still want your child to recieve the health benifits of THC, you can administer it to them orally, baked in food, or make an extraction of thc liquid which can be mixed with some sugar and swallowed.
It was given to children a lot in the mid to late 1800's as a cough supressant and pain reliever. Some children had to swallow to a whole spoonful of concetrated THC, the equivalent would be about a monthes supply of weed for a heavy user....(!)

The LD50 is so low for marihuana that you'd pass out from exhaustion before you'd poison yourself.
BTW, not one person has died from smoking.

So to answer your question:
No, weed does not stunt your growth...
...Or reduce your sperm count
...Or reduce testorone levels in men
...Or reduce estrogen levels in woman
...Or cause any long term memory problems
...Or cause permenant short term memory problems
...Or make you go crazy
...Or make you crave other drugs (its the person, not the drugs)
...Or kill your brain cells (they only tickle them, unlike alcohol which bombards cells with toxins, giving them mini-seizures before dying)

Does Weed Stunt Your Growth

2016-10-06 03:36:06 · answer #2 · answered by sanderhoff 4 · 0 0

I'm fourteen and have been smoking weed (no tobacco) once a week for about 6 months and in that six months I have grown about 2-3 inches. Whilst smoking anything does raise carbon monoxide levels in the blood which can slow growth, infrequent smoking such as just once a week will have very little effect on growth as it only takes the body 24 hours to eliminate carbon monoxide completley from the blood. The presence of carbon monoxide will only slow growth by a maximum of 50℅. This means if you are at 59℅ growth 1/7 of the time you will only end up about 7% shorter than you would be otherwise. I'm prepared to make that sacrifice so I can go on a mad one every saturday

Any type of smoking will stunt your growth, including weed, however if you still want to get high without stunting growth you can try edibles and pretty much anything except actually smoking.

I don't know..I'm sure it isn't good for you though..despite what all those pro marijuana people will say. The human body wasn't meant to smoke anything.

Was told by one of our teachers it screws up brain development...so I guess that could lead to growth stunt.
