Answer 1

Marijuana is not good for the human body.
- It causes impaired thinking
- It causes impaired driving
- It is addictive
- Any type of smoke damages the lungs
- It is illegal

Marijuana can help with pain and that is why it is legal for certain people with terminal illnesses. It can also help people eat, some illnesses cause people to be unable/unwilling to eat. So for these reasons it can be good. But they have found a way to put the good stuff in a pill so smoking it (and getting all that smoke in your lungs) is not necessary.

Many people, especially teens, think pot is okay because it has less severe and/or noticible consequences than other drugs. This may be true but it still has very negative consequences.

Answer 2

OK I don't think pot really harms your lungs or gives you cancer or anything like that. What I do know is that it can really mess with your head. I have known a lot of potheads. Some young some old and what I figure is that people who use it many times a day, every day, end up kind of stupid. I know a guy who's only 26 and he seems mildly retarded. What I've noticed in older people is a sort of Alzheimer's affect. No short term memory. Don't understand what you say and don't make sense when they talk.

marijuanna can causemouth and lung cancer because it has 5 times as much carbon monoxide and 10-20 times the amount of tar as tobacco it also has 15 time as much benzopyrene(know carcinogen), depression panic attacks psycosis erectile dyfuntion reduce sperm counts brain damage.and makes testicle shrink. It can cause menstral inregularies and failure to ovulate. It also can cause severe mental retardation if a woman smoked while pregnant.(My aunt adopted a little boy 20 yrs ago who still has the mind of a 3 yr old because of his biol moms smoking pot) if a person was taking an antidepressant and smokes pot they could suffer from a drug induced delerium
it also effects a persons reaction time and impairs reflexes for up to 24 hours after smoking

Answer 4

I do think you are correct
it is polluting not only the body but it also does things to the mind and body since it is a depressant.
Cigs are not illegal but they do pollute you and causes many people to have more problems than it is worth
you will find people will say all kinds of things just to prove their point-- even to justify most anything so good luck in your critical studies of people

Answer 5

Any foreign object absorbed into the body is not natural and therefore a danger. That includes prescription drugs that are legal, but not to be misused or abused. At that point they become dangerous, too.

Answer 6

Personally, I normally could not care less, but, if you are smoking pot, hacking into my computer, joining police forces, lying about it, and going to church, causing me to experience bankruptcy and hardship, and even taking it a step further and are having various people phone me pretending that I do not know what is going on while they jerk me around and do collections, start running!

Answer 7

You are right, smoking anythng and inhaling it is NOT good for your lungs. The degrees of harm vary, but smoke is not good for you.
