I am a marijuana advocate and I am here to tell you that weed is the fruit of the earth :)~ Marijuana has been openly stigmatized in this country and many ppl dont know that it was used as an herb & medicine for thousands of years, it even dates back to ancient China.
Henry Ford, thats right the car maker, even constructed a fully working car out of marijuana, hemp, cannibus, and guess what, it was stronger than steel. & herb was perfectly legal in the US as hemp (you could even pay your taxes with it!) until it was targeted by powerful people who had strong monetary motivations to get it banned. Then it became known as marijuana to play off the racism of Americans toward immigrating mexicans... and it worked.
TO this date, it is classified as a Schedule I drug with Heroin & LSD, legally is considered to have no medicinal uses, high abuse & lack of safety, which anyone who knows anything about drugs finds laughable... Morphine, Opium, Cocaine & Meth are Schedule II drugs, meaning they are considered safer than Marijuana by the federal gov. You can look up any of this information, & I hope you will. The Hurst accusations I had to dig for, the medical & scientific purposes are pretty widely available.
Why so many people still openly insist that Weed is a horrible gateway drug, yet alcohol and cigarettes are available over the counter, and no one objects, will never really be clear.
Ammotivational syndrome is about the only real threat (in the sea of reefer madness propaganda), but the benefits of herbal dosage far outweigh this pesky 'effect' - which in drug free people is neatly called procrastination. Oh yeah, cotton mouth is a real effect also. Other than that, weed will never hurt you :) its your friend. j/k
;) happy 4:20

Weed is bad for you ONLY if you smoke it every day, but if you smoke it like once a week its cool. Most of my friends smoke weed and they're First-String Varsity Football and they're doing alright in school. Bottom line is that its not bad for you in less you do it every day.

Its really bad for your body and your health when ur about 30. You wont see any effects now but when ur near 30 you will see results of smoking weed. You may even think of suicide. Plus your brain cells get damaged each time you smoke weed which means when your 50 you just might be a little stupid.

Not for adults. Kids is another story though. If you are not 21 leave it alone, noone knows exactly what it does to your brain and since kids brains are still evolving...
It does not kill brain cells, that is a myth. It alters them temporarily and after a couple hours no damage at all except to the lungs if it is smoked. Alcohol on the other hand kills everything it contacts eventually. Legalize.

a lot of people say it's not a gateway drug (meaning a drug that leads to other things) but it does..
and yeah, i really do think it's that bad. all of my friends do weed, and you don't really see the affects at first (they started in 7th or 8th grade) we're juniors now, and their lives are down the tube. They've lost relationships because they do stupid things when they're high. And then have people pissed at them the next day. My one buddy was really cool until he started doing weed. Then after like four years of him doing it... he HAS to have it or he's depressed. So it's either he's high, screwing up his life or he's depreseed. His whole life is sitting on the couch smoking and not remembering anything. And then his friends have to pay the price because he ditches us and does stupid stuff and the "oh, sorry man- i was high" excuess got old and pretty much a lot of his buddies ditched him.
Personally, i'd rather remember my good times.
Don't do it. It's stupid.

Jon C Looks are decieving sweetheart.Just because those people don't seem or look miserable on the outside doesn't mean they aren't on the inside.You don't have an idea as to what's going on inside of their poor little bodies.
Marijuana abuse effects the heart,lungs,and brain.It damages brain cells.Don't take my word for it.Look these things up.Be smart and don't let others influence you negatively.

In my opinion, like alcohol, one shouldn't imbibe in weed until adulthood. Personally, I think alcohol is much worse than weed. Watch the show "Weeds" and you'll realize how prevalent it is.

No!! They just need to go ahead and legalize it if you ask me. Its prescribed to help people with real bad glacoma and other health problems so why not!! At least if you get 2nd hand smoke from weed you get something out of it!! STONED!!!

LOL, gee I can't remember, lost too many brain cells. I am living proof that pot is not the 'evil devil weed". I only smoke occasionally now but I started 37 years ago.
