we all know pot is bad but what are the effects of one pinch or 2 of weed. can you get cancer by one or 2? can you have memory problems from one or 2. doing a research project

I do not feel that pot is bad. A pinch or 2 of weed's effects are going to depend on the amount of THC in the weed - its strength. And yes, you should smoke it, not attempt to chew it, as a 'pinch' would suggest. Short term memory may be a slight problem during the high, but short term use will not lead to long term memory problems. MARIJUANA HAS NEVER BEEN LINKED TO CAUSING CANCER.
Any other questions?

to the best of my knowledge you can not get cancer from smoking marijuana. (at least not in such a small quantity) and as far as memory problems, you would have to smoke a lot in order for that to happen. or be high while you are testing your memory skills... lol then forget what you are saying because you spot a cheeto and realize your suddenly hungry.. lol... but in all seriousness though, marijuana is actually a very mild drug in the scheme of things. "a pinch or 2" is virtually nothing.
don't get me wrong though, i'm not sponsoring the drug by any means, but it doesn't have as harsh affects nor is as bad for you as a lot of people would like to believe.
as far as your research project, here are some links that might help you out. keep in mind, there are a lot of biased people in educational positions, so some websites may not be truly reliable. but as far as your research is concerned, they should provide you with some information to fill in what you need. good luck! :)

Pot is not all bad, it has been found to do many wonderful things from a medical stand-point, such as: ease nausea from chemotherapy, prevent or stop glacoma, but if it is used to excess as a recreational 'drug' it can do great harm to the brain.
Look it up on your search engines.
it is also ILLEGAL in most states and in many parts of the world if you are caught with even a leaf of it you will spend years -- perhaps your whole life -- in one of their hell-hole prisons!!! Is it worth it??? I think: NOT !!!!!
In the USA you will receive: fines and possibly some jail time depending on quantity and state you're caught in. But the worst thing that will happen is: YOU -- YES, YOU, WILL HAVE A C R I M I N A L RECORD, WHICH IS PERMANENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It NEVER comes off your record. This is important because someday you may be up for that PERFECT JOB or YOU may need a clean record to fo something very important to you or your wife/husband or family and THERE'S THAT NASTY RECORD with your name on it as a CRIMINAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There goes your hopes and dreams, your families hopes and dreams !!! There goes your BIG CHANCE in life -- ALL BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT ONCE UPON A TIME -- BOY, THIS WILL MAKE ME cooL OR FIT IN, OR BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Nope, you'll lose out to the guy with a CLEAN RECORD and your boss or whoever holds that dream of yours in his/her hands will dump you because YOU HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD !!!!
THINK PEOPLE -- IT'S ILLEGAL. And it's not good for healthy people !!! It is a drug. Most people cant use 'just a little', that's why it's illegal!

its all good smoke a little more .... there are millions of medical benefits so its OK to smoke. Marijuana is a good thing and should not be frowned upon.

yes you can!! and umm... my really good friends do smoke marijiuana and they do suffer!! plus there is the fact that one of my friends is high all the time.. (no joke) and he can't remember a f*cking thing that comes out of his mouth!! he recently told me that he couldn't remember the last two months of his life. I think the affects of taking this drug.. causes suffering for more than just the person using it!! best of wishes in finding what you are looking for!!
love always..Britt

no way, you have to smoke a reasonable amount of pot to have serious affects, a few joints will only make you want to buy a huge bag and scarf twinkies till 3am

only if you use it long term. it still causes cancer. it has been proven in research that one joint is like smoking a pack of cigarettes! so, u don't have to do a research project. it's already been done.

I don't think that you can get cancer from it. I also don't think memory problems occur...didn't for me.
