I am a substance abuse counselor of 8 years and a recovering addict of 20 years. The first question, the facts about pot: it IS addictiive. How one can determine if they are addicted is by trying to stop. When one withdraws from the substance , various symptoms will be noted. Insomnia, apathy, irritablity. Some tremulousness as well is an indicator. Next question about damage. Of course there's the genetic damage. Then there's the anhedonia,inability to experience pleasure. Memory loss which is irrepairable. No, it's not O.K. to smoke pot, even if it isn't everyday. Anymore than it's O.K. to self medicate with any other addictive substance. I also teach D.U.I. school. So about smoking and driving, The legal consequences are exactly the same. However, when the court orders random urinalysis, pot could tale as long as 30-45 days to be out of the urine.

NO there is no PROOF of any side affects from cannabis.
Stats are manipulated to show views but their is no 100% proof.
I mean i could say that everyone that breathes air is a murderer, because i took 10/10 people questioned admitted to being murderers. Mind you my subject base would have been death row...

2. Reduced risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
3. Reduced risk of all forms of cancer.

all drugs are amplifiers, if you have problems or predisposed condtions then sure! you have to know your own limitations!
no conlusive studies though! just peoples agendas!! smoking anything is bad, obviously. the rest of the effects are temporary!
make brownies! be good...make good choices ...and enjoy!!!
