Marijuana like alcohol destroys brain cells. Brain cells do not regenerate. In otherwords, if you destroy them, they will not grow back. While it has been used for Glaucoma patients and cancer patients to reduce pain, it should be used for pain relief only. Recreational use of any drug or liquour can lead to terrible health problems and mental health problems including memory loss. Look, it comes down to this, just because your friends play in traffic, do you have to? Take care of yourself.

Smoking anything is going to be unhealthy. There are a lot of things that are unhealthy. The french fries you eat after smoking weed might kill you by clogging your arteries before smoking weed kills you. High people do not play in traffic....it also does not kill brain cells thats a myth, some people should actually find facts for themselves.
enjoy life

yes it is dangerous to your health. I have seen people ruin their health because they thought smoking pot was O.K. I would think that holding any smoke into your lungs for as long as you can would be a not good thing for your lungs to endure let alone your brain. Why do firemen wear protective gear [respirator's] while fighting a fire? Why does cigarette smoking cause lung cancer and emphysema? go figure....

Well lets see: It slows down your reflexes, which making driving dangerous. The active ingredient THC kills brain cells. The smoke in your lungs leave a dangerous level of resins. And in most places its illegal to posses or sell it.
Yeah I'd say its dangerous.

Actually I know many doctors that prefer patients smoke pot rather that ciggies...There has never been a case of anyone dieing due to direct causes of the effects of marijuana nor due to complications caused by it. The most that may happen is that they eat a lot and go to sleep.

Bad for the lungs hinders memory and if I'm not mistaken an MRI of a brain of someone who has smoked is different.

Pot has always been thpought of as non habiut forming, and therefore harmless. recent serious studies conlcude it changes one's DNA. and that is really serious.
