(dope) good or bad?

Question

is cannabis good or bad for u

Answer 1

can go either way. if you are a nervous or a paranoid person it can make that lots worse. too much of it can be really bad for you, especially if its often. seen what that's done to people before. they just stopped looking after themselves and ended up on harder drugs because it wasn't doing anything for them anymore, that's not good at all.
on the plus side in small amounts you can have a good laugh with a few friends as you talk random rubbish that makes perfect sense at the time and have massive giggling fits. its helped people sleep when they've had bad insomnia and has been known to ease pain.
we don't really know what it can do to you in the long run but i do think it can be good in small quantities and not too often

Answer 2

Everybody knows that heroin is extremely bad for you. Most people would say that cocaine, ecstasy and LSD are too.

But what about cannabis?

It’s a fair question, because cannabis, or marijuana, is the most widely used illegal drug in Australia, especially by young people.

According to a 1998 survey conducted by Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 39 per cent of the Australian population (44 per cent of men and 35 per cent of women) had used cannabis at least once, and 18 per cent had used it within in the previous year. The highest use was among 20 to 29-year-olds, at 37 per cent.

Are all these people harming themselves, possibly irreversibly?

It's difficult to get into a rational discussion about this, because the health issues tend to be overshadowed by the arguments about whether cannabis should be legal or not.

Those who argue it should be legalised (mostly users of the drug) argue that it's no more dangerous than alcohol (and possibly less so).

Those who don’t think it should be legalised (often concerned parents of the above group) point to evidence that in large amounts over long periods of time, it can cause lung damage and brain damage.

Answer 3

Good if used the right way, those answering this question saying it is bad should consider that they might drink alcohol? eat junk food? walk/drive along polluted streets? take prescribed drugs? Quite simply EVERYTHING is bad for you, but it has been that way since the dawn of time, simply in other forms.

Weed/Skunk/Hash/Cannabis/Marijuana (or dope) is fine, used sensibly, in moderation.

Answer 4

Thought it was good. Used to smoke it and everyone said it was good.

Now, not so sure. Its a lot stringer than it used to be and theres eveidence it has pyschological issues with memory, paranoi etc. Also, the tobacco it's mixed with is bad as there is no filter.

Not being self-righteous as interestingly, the latest scientific studies have shown that its actually worse for you than some of the Class A drugs like ectasy

Answer 5

Bad.
As a former pothead, I've done a little research.
Marijuana actually has more tar content than cigarettes .
Long term - It does effect memory/cognition of those who use it frequently for a long period of time.

its your body...does inhaling the smoke of anything seem healthy in any way?

Answer 6

totally bad, no upside that I can see. Causes depression, paranoia and schizophrenia. In chronic users responsible for marked brain atrophy (shrinkage) which both causes and accelerates dementia. Addictive of course, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Answer 7

There have been enough studies to show that it has SOME negative health consequences.

But so does tobacco and alcohol. But that's not a valid reason to smoke pot.

You might as well avoid it.

Answer 8

weed's ok if you don't abuse it... it's all about restraints. you gotta set boundries for yourself or else you can end up having to go to a Shrink like a friend of mine does. (he's only 16 years old... :-( )

but if you're carefull, (like me), then it's all good! :-)

Answer 9

Its okay in moderation..
UNLESS!
You have an anxiety disorder, a predisposition to be anxious, or people in your family diagnosed with these things.
Don't do weed if you get anxious, trust me on this one!
