Answer 1

When you smoke it kills off your brain cells. No joke no BS it kills off your brain cells. You basically go from being a smart person to someone who can't remember ummmmmmmmmmm well you know. Plus it is hard on your lungs.

Answer 2

Of course it depends on the person answering this question. Cannabis has plenty of pros and cons just like everything else- alcohol, cigarettes, food.

At the end of the day everyone is their own person and should decided HOW they live it and WHAT they do with it.

Don't rant that Cannabis is such a danger if you HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED CANNABIS DANGEROUSLY.

Personally, I think Cannabis is a good thing. And contrary to what a lot of people have say about it, all of the people I know who smoke it are sensible, have good to amazing jobs, enjoy it and most importantly have never experience anything worse than a whitey.

It's your life. Live it. Enjoy it. Roll it. Smoke it!

Answer 3

i used to smoke. and yes, it dulls pain, so used medicinally, it could be good. however, the weed that "chills" people is less notable. the analgesic part is still there, but still. confrontations happen in the action of acquiring the weed, as some people can get upset if you don't pay....etc. all that doesn't/shouldn't have to be said. nonetheless....pot DOES make you stupid. that's why i stopped. during my high school years, i got straight a's. i was a partier though, but didn't deem it necessary to stop partying as long as i kept my grades and health up. thats when i got introduced to marijuana. i loved it, and i still love it every once in a while (once or twice a year). however, when i was a pothead, i smoked everynight before bed, and ALOT during the day on the weekends when my rents weren't around and just in general. i smoked about as much as i used to drink. (I didn't drink when i was a pothead). the next report cards came and thats when it hit me. i did **** that report period. i got all d's and mother was pissed. she asked if i was smoking, and i had to lie. that's when i quit. academics are first for me, then fun and recreation. i still drank, but i got my grades back up to a's. so....if you don't mind being DUMB, literally, then its not a bad thing. once in a while, its not a bad thing. medicinally, for pain, its not a bad thing. for recreationally frequent use, as most cannabis use is, its about as bad as it is fun. just be careful....the law is a little unforgiving when it comes to pot....

Answer 4

Personally I wouldn't smoke it but then I don't drink beer, wine, liquor, coffee or smoke cigarettes or cigars. I don't use crack, heroin, meth, cocaine or any other the other things that many people claim chills them out and can help relieve pain.

Heck, I have no doubt cocaine is a potent analgesic. My girlfriend was given it to to her nasally in the ER after a car accident as she was allergic to Morphine. Cocaine is medically legal as a Schedule ll narcotic. And how many people claim they have to have a cigarette to calm down....actually get a nicotine fix.

But I don't want dope smokers out driving after "chilling out" any more than I want some a**wipe going out driving after drinking a six pack to Mello out. If people want to smoke dope and stay in their own home until they sober up; then fine I don't care. But the odds of them never getting behind the wheel while stoned.... Well all you have to do is watch the news and see how many people were killed by drunken drivers who always say..."Oh I only has one beer, maybe two." Right....the same clowns who will saw..."I only took one hit, dude.

You wanted honest...there's an honest answer.

Answer 5

Overall no, Obviously very heavy use has its bad points like if you have psychiatric problems it makes them worse & its not good if you're going to be driving or operating machinery.

However it is good to relax you & reduce your blood pressure. Its also good for arthritis, pain & multiple sclerosis.

As for confrontations, as stoned people are chilled a confrontation is too much effort.

From the experience of people I know the only bad thing is mixing it with tobacco & the cost.

Answer 6

As an occasional user i give you this quote from the only person ever to of officially died of cannabis " ".
He didnt have much to say.
If it doesnt suit you dont smoke it but dont deny yourself. I'll give you the first couple of bags free. You know you want to.

If your ok now then why bother with it?
If your not ok then speak to someone.
I started smoking heavily to dull my memories.
It works fine for a while just like most escapism but sooner rather than later you have to deal with it.
Cannabis doesnt have a bad side, WE do.
When i smoke it now (occasionally) i enjoy it.
If any of that made sense then HAALLOO

Answer 7

in regard to the fact that it would take 1500 pounds of pot smoked in 15 minutes to overdose then marijuanna is a safe drug. THC appears to be the least toxic of drugs in modern medicine. The problem is that unless you grow your own it is hard to located pure unaltered pot.

Marijuanna impairs reflexes for up to 24 hours after last use, even after the euphoria is gone you actions can be faulty.

For people with anxiety disorders or depression
marijuana can actually make them feel worse

Withdrawl symptoms are irritability aggressive behaviors anxiety insomnia nausea and lack of appitite

Answer 8

It's too strong nowdays. People are getting schitzo on the stuff.

I used to all for the stuff, still am for grass, but all this super fry your brains skunk is a risky business.

It's like saying "beers ok, lets all start drinking ethanol"

Answer 9

If you need to smoke to chill you need help. When the long term effect start to kick in you definately wont be chillen.

Answer 10

I think its less harm full than alcohol most people who smoke it are too chilled to do any harm to anyone.

Answer 11

No its not a bad thing... it helps A LOT of people out! If its for pain or just to chill out ... when have you ever heard of ANY ONE dying from an over dose of marijuana? (just marijuana) So i personally do not think its a bad thing and the government should just legalize it and put a tax on it just like they do in cigarettes!
