How bad is smoking weed? I dont do it but have been around it my whole life?

Answer 1

I don't think its that bad at the moment. But it is a gateway drug and it will probably open you up to other drugs because the high from the weed isn't enough

Answer 2

smoking weed has been proven to cause genetic birth defects in children. shows that those that constantly smoke weed or around the smoke and get a contact high have been shown to have slower brain functions. So long as your not smoking it(or breathing as heavily as you can when people are) you should be more then fine.

Answer 3

33 year expothead here have to agree with everyone that it is bad and decreases brain function makes it allmost impossible to learn anything new and destroys short term memory I am over 4 months off now and I cannot believe some of the people I used to hang with they are out of it and now I would rather not be around most of them but do cause I feel for them and would hate to be rude as I have hardly any friends because smokers tend to be in a society of friends that smoke but at least now I can comprehend things learn new things and remember everything.

Answer 4

Personally, i think alcohol is a whole lot more dangerous, in many many ways. pot is not physically addictive either, although it is a carcinogen and can cause cancer, etc.

It's probably safer than eating at a fast food place.

Of course it is illegal and it does lead to harder drugs for many people. I've been smoking it daily for 33 years and am a very successful person and haven't had any health problems from it so far, and my brain still works just dandy, although i would say don't waste your time and money on it. if you never try it, you'll never miss it!!!

Answer 5

Everyone should really do some research before they give advice.

Answer 6

Ever heard of the NJ Weedman? He ran for New Jersey congress and got sixth place. Anyway, he basically runs every election to gain awareness of how he can't visit his daughther, who lives with her Mom, who divorced him. He also doesn't have a job. Look up NJ Weedman and you'll go to his website, which tells you he wants to legalize marijuana. There is also a picture of him and then another with a whole bunch of crackheads in front of a Marijuana legalization Committee or something- and you will see they look dirty, messed up, and just out of it. So if that's not proof of what it does to you- then uh, I don't know.

Answer 7

Nothing wrong with smoking it as long as you do it in the privacy of your own home and don't offer it to children. If it's treated like alcohol then people won't get hurt.
