marijuana is a valuable herb for certain medical conditions. As is morphine, codiene, asperin, benedril, ad nauseum. It's use can be detrimental and abused, as any drug may be.

Despite evidence to the contrary, many individuals and organizations maintain that marijuana is an extremely dangerous drug. For example, the National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth attempts to reach its societal and legislative goals by making the following claims:
1. Marijuana is a harmful substance because it has 421 chemicals.
2. Marijuana is stronger than it was 10 years ago, and this new, potent marijuana presents dangers unrecognized years ago.
3. Marijuana is far worse for the lungs than tobacco.
4. Marijuana causes damage to the reproductive system.
5. The psychoactive chemicals in marijuana are fat soluble and stay in the human body for a month, increasing the danger of exposure.
6. Marijuana causes brain damage and a behavioral disorder known as amotivational syndrome.
7. Any use of marijuana is abuse, and marijuana has no medical value whatsoever.

Maijuana effects how you mind and body work. When you overdose it, it can be harmful.

marijuana makes you happy, mellow, relaxed, it makes you forget about your problems for a little while. it also gives you the munchies...try french fries at 3am! weed allows some people to function more properly on a daily basis without freaking out on someone!
long story short, marijuana is good and anyone who disagrees obviously doesn't smoke it...lol
i mean, they are prescribing it for pain relief in certain illnesses, so it can't be all that bad, it's all natural, which is more than i can say for some other kinds of drugs. and smoking a cigarette is actually worse for you than smoking a joint...and cigarettes are legal...how does that work??
marijuana is pretty much legal up here in canada, that's why all us canadians are so good natured...lol
have fun and ...
HAPPY CANNIBUS SAMOKING!! :)

No overdoses ever. No cancer caused by marijuana ever. Marijuana has been proven to help treat several diseases. Marijuana however has been blamed for broken bones, black eyes, and even violent deaths, but these only occur when the police become involved, and are not the result of the physiological effects of the drug itself.

makes you stupid. makes you THINK you can drive. makes you unsociable. makes you dangerous to those around you. makes your wife want a divorce & your children loose respect for you. makes you waste all your hard earned money so you are left w/ nothing other than enough to find your next joint.
keep in mind to that it is rarely ever pure... usually laced w/ harder drugs to make you trip worse... get you more addicted.
It's a visious cycle.
