Marijuana has strong anti-inflammatory effects. "This is why I believe that people who used marijuana a few decades ago are much less likely to develop any disease, such as Alzheimer's, that relies upon the slow development of brain inflammation," Wenk told Reuters Health.
"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."
and the obvious glaucoma, etc.

Marijuana can be harmful in a number of ways, through both immediate effects and damage to health over time.
Marijuana hinders the user's short-term memory (memory for recent events), and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. With the use of more potent varieties of marijuana, even simple tasks can be difficult.
Because of the drug's effects on perceptions and reaction time, users could be involved in auto crashes. Drug users also may become involved in risky sexual behavior. There is a strong link between drug use and unsafe sex and the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Under the influence of marijuana, students may find it hard to study and learn. Young athletes could find their performance is off; timing, movements, and coordination are all affected by THC.

It quite relies upon on which state you're in, like Cali has it legalized and that i will make certain many different states legalizing it in the close to destiny. There quite isn't as lots incorrect with pot as human beings make it look. particular it is cancerous, yet cigarettes are extra so.

In end, pot could desire to be legalized in the subsequent decade, yet once you do no longer % to attend til you're 27 to casually walk down considerable highway, blunt or bong in hand, w/o getting arrested, i could could desire to comply with take a trip faraway from the states or basically pass away all mutually. i could desire to upload that i'm very impartial in this mushy subject and am in basic terms conversing my life like opinion. i do no longer help or oppose pot, i've got self assurance it is the persons's option to the two smoke or no longer.

Smoking any thing cant be good for you. The medical benefits of marijuana have been synthesized into pill form. I had chemo and Rx for pill for nausea.
The only current benefit from MJ is that it makes you sterile, this is a good thing. Who wants a world of people who are so brain dead that they cant entertain themselves. If you need to get high run a few miles.

Obviously it's beneficial in some medical instances. Is it good as a general rule? Any smoke inhaled into the body can have harmful effects. Not too mention that it's illegal and will get you arrested in most parts of the US. That right there is enough for me.

Well I don't know if it's good for you but it helps me to relax, I find myself less stressed when I smoke once or twice a day. I hope it will not cause lung cancer, but if it does I'll just smoke more I'm already screwd!

absolutely,It 's natural and God made.what could be better. It is about the only natural made substance that really doesn;t have side effects. unless of course you over abuse it.
just like anything, you must know your limits and not abuse a beautiful thing.
Any substance abuse is bad but addiction is in the person not the substance.

No! It reduces sperm count, turns your lungs black, kills brain cells, can cause a person to be sterile, gives you a constant runny nose and cough, and many other things.
On top of that, smoking pot is ILLEGAL.
Breaking the law certainly isn't good for you.

It is illogical to think that lungs, which were made to inhale air, should be used to inhale smoke (of any kind) for the betterment of a person's health.

Steve, I told you, that's what you do when you're as rich as Bill Gates and then you can smoke it all you want in your back bedroom. Get in the car high one more time and trust, me, I WILL bust you out with the cops.
