So many people talk as if smoking pot is a horrible thing. People get misinformed about it saying that people get lung cancer from it which is not true at all. besides the fact that it is illegal, weed is much safer than cigarettes and alcohol. Have you ever heard of someone smoking pot and beating his wife and kids because he was high on weed.
The only way i see weed ruining someones life is if they get arrested and it goes on their record, making them lose their jobs and look like a criminal or a drug addict to those who know nothing about the real effects of weed.

I see your point and I have nothing against weed, but it does kill brain cells and slows down your reactions to things and impairs your judgment. It can screw up your ability to absorb and recall information. As for it being worse, I don't think it's worse than alcohol or cigarettes. But the government gets far more money in the US by keeping it illegal, so don't expect to see weed legalized any time soon.
I know a man who RUINED his life and his family's life with weed. All he did was get high. Didn't really work or keep a decent home. He dumped the kids off with the grandmother so he could smoke up and party instead. One of the kids ended up in prison because there wasn't proper parenting. To this day, that guy is still dealing with homelessness, can't keep jobs and his kids don't want to talk to him. He still loves his weed, though. More than his kids or himself.

Never smoked cigarettes. Smoked weed since I was 14 and slowed down around 18 years old. Then I turned to alcohol. SOOOOOO from experience I am going to say alcohol is def the most destructive. I am not even 21 yet. I am also trying to slow down on drinking..that stuff grabs a hold of you when you least expect it and will take you to a place you really dont want to ever be. You burn a lot of bridges and make too many mistakes drinking. Oh that and it causes health problems. So yea I am trying to cut back as much as possible (its just so damn good)

One needs no more proof to see the damage weed can do to your brain than to look at the U.S. House of Reprsentatives or the Senate. Aging 60's / 70's ex-hippies in ties or pant suits.
Would you be comfortable getting on a Boeing 747 or an Airbus A-340 if the flight crew was smokin' a joint?

I know many people who smoke pot and go to work everyday and take care of thier responsibilities. These are people who smoke a nice joint at night together and live normal and law abiding lives in every other way. I have never heard of anyone dieing of lung cancer from pot. I do however know people who never accomplished anything much in thier lives because they spent too much time high.

you want proof? go watch a person who's high. Smoking causes lung cancer but weed screws with your mind. When people are high you don't know what their intentions are. You are a fruitcake don't you know that any drug out there affects your body whether it is mental or physical.

Smoke in lungs. bad combination. Everyone I know that smokes pot is lazy. Must make ya tired. You must have a concern to have posted this. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper just not to do it? Probably turns your teeth yellow too and fries brain cells. You reap what you sow.

Weed also ruins lives because the user tends to be less involved in life and is less likely to hold a job, pay their bills, and keep the family together. Mind you, I'm not saying all users are like this or that part time users are but serious potheads ARE like this.

My college dorm neighbor. He smoked it recreationally at first, no big. Then started smoking it habitually. Inside of four months, he was addicted to it. By the sixth month (midpoint of our spring semester) he had dumped his girlfriend of 2 years to spend more money and time on weed. He pretty much dropped all of his dorm made friends to spend time with other guys - smoking weed. In the fall he was getting all A's in classes. By March, he was missing/skipping 2/3 of his classes and his grades were all D's and F's. He withdrew from school in April to "go hang out on the beach back in Cali(fornia) with some dudes he met who grew their own stuff". Last time any of us ever saw or heard from him. It ruins lives.
