Take it IF U CAN LEAVE IT! Everything in moderation. The hydro around these days is very strong and can be harmful if u abuse it. I know someone who is now schizophrenic after too many drugs and know of others as well.

Smoking pot has been proved to be healthier than smoking cigarettes; as a matter of fact before the tobacco of cigarettes began being processed and treated with chemicals as it it today, it also had some beneficial effects. However most of the toxins that cause us harm are cause by the inhaling the smoke of any carbon containing matter be it tobacco, pot or tea leaves...
Pot is however considered to be a gateway drug, meaning that you may be more likely to try other drugs. And it is also illegal in most parts of the world. See the attached article for more information, it's really quite interesting, presenting both pro's and con's!!
i personally am not a pot smoker, (but i do smoke cigarettes), but i have tried it. i do not recommend it, but truth be told i would prefer it to cigarettes were it not illegal.

There is no recorded deaths from smoking pot! Of course they are quick to point out that many pot smokers are cigarette smokers also. So the cigs get the blame. It has been proved to be mind expanding and stimulate brain cell growth with recreational use. Anything used in excess is an addiction and is never good for you.

Hey there, To be honest with U , it is a good feeling when smoking pot but there are consequences; DiD U know that every time you smoke pot you are killing your memory cells in your brain. That is like drinking alcohol and getting a hang-over/ When having a hang-over, that is a sign that alcohol is killing brain cells but killing memory cells is something serious. You will know from time to time as you speak or write, it will affect you. Take my words for it, I used to smoke pot and it affected my memory; from expierence,I cannot remember most of the time if someone repeats something twice. Hope my advice is useful from expierence.....

I don't have a problem with it or anyone who uses it - as long as it's not done in front of children or while operating anything that requires complete alertness. Worst thing to ever happen to me after smoking pot was not having any decent munchies in the house!

Unless you have a terminal illness and are doing it for terrible pain, smoking pot is bad. Despite what many people think, it does damage the brain. It will hurt your ability to learn, to think, and to remember things clearly. Pot decreases activity in various parts of your brain and can, in some extreme cases, make you go completely crazy.

Is it really worth risking your health since you have no idea what that pot is treated with and is it worth going to prison for and having an arrest record.Please,if you care about yourself,dont do it.Ive found peace and happiness in God.He can make you a better person if you will let Him

It kills brain cells and as you get older you don't think as clearly and function as clearly anymore. It also can cause various different kinds of cancer. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.
There's a lot of beneift in considering natural means of mellowing out. Yoga is a wonderful alternative. It's gentle, healing and good for your body. Excercise in general gives you a natural high once you've been doing it regularly for a period of time. Best wishes to you.

Honestly, its against the law. Really, how bad is killing someone? If they pi$$ you off and you just need to mellow out, you should be able to do that too.
