It does affect your long term memory.......I can't remember a lot of things that I should. Other than that I haven't seen any adverse side effects and I've smoked for almost 30 years. I have a career in a highly technical field, am successfull, and have a great family of very smart children...so don't listen to these idiots who tell you it makes you stupid or that it will kill you. They don't know what they are talking about. They only buy into all the propaganda that the schools and the government brainwashes them with.

Well I don't judge people that smoke pot, unless they're like this person I know, a 45 year old 15 year old (meaning he's 45 but has never grown past the age of 15, never had a job, etc...loser). But all of the health issues that go along with smoking regular cigarettes are magnified with pot, not to mention doing things like driving while high...not a good idea. While I don't care what others do in their own lives, I could not be with someone who was a pothead. Just wouldn't work. It's up to you if you talk to him about it, but most people I know and have known that get high; it's like talking to a brick wall.

In a word YES, it is harmful. I grew up in the 60's when smoking pot was an everyday thing for a lot of people. Among other things, MJ is a "gateway" drug. By that it means that the majority of people who use it regularly, go on to much more dangerous drugs. In addition, The carcinogens in the smoke do cause lung and throat cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitus. In addition, it does destroy brain cells, which never re grow. I lost several good friends to drugs, and every one of them started with MJ. In addition, the "pot heads" from my generation who only smoked pot, and did not use other drugs, are worthless today. They don't hold jobs, they talk like typical stoners, they failed to continue their education and basically never amounted to anything. They can't afford a nice house, nice cars or support a family. None of their marriages lasted and most of their kids are either "stoners" or got smart and don't have anything to do with them. A lot of them are homeless too. If you want to see what MJ alone will do to you, rent the tv sitcom "taxi" and study the character that Christopher Lloyd plays (JIM). That my dear is what your harmless MJ does. SO, if you really love your BF, get him to stop. If he refuses, find someone else. He isn't worth having a girlfriend like you.

You should do it too. Really its fun it mellows you out and you laugh a lot but the first time I did it I got really paranoid. But after that it's fun. I do it with my bf sometimes and we have a blast. It isn't that harmful. Just don't let him do other drugs b/c mary jane is a gateway drug. People think well this doesn't hurt me and I want to experience other highs so I'll try x or oxy or meth. I know a few people that do these things and it really messes you up. Just ask him if he plans on doing anything else other than pot and if he plans on it you shouldn't stay with him because it will screw him up and you won't even know him anymore.

It can land him in jail and the police can put you in jail because you are letting this happen, when they bust him, they will bust you also, they will find it all over him and all over you.
You are playing with fire! But if it does not bother you and if the consequences do not bother you, then keep doing it, I am not your mother.
You should look it up on the computer or better yet, ask your parents what smoking weed does to you and what kind of effect it has on you, I am sure they will be more than happy to help you with your question.

I am a nurse and smoking ONE joint is like 7 cigarettes. The THC kills brain cells that do NOT grow back. EVER. It stays in your hair or whomever is around it up to 30+ days. If you have kids or a job to lose it is NOT worth the risk. By the way it is illegal!!! I have taken care of alot of people on oxygen who needed suctioned every few hours. Pitiful. Not the way I prefer to go. Good luck.

Anything that is done in excess that prohibits a normal life is harmful.
Is he working? Does he eat right and exercise? Is he getting good grades in school?
Healthwise, yes, he is slowly destroying his lungs but at much slower rate than a smoker who smokes a pack a day.

In a word specific, it particularly is detrimental. I grew up interior the 60's whilst smoking pot replaced right into a on a daily basis element for particularly some persons. among distinctive concerns, MJ is a "gateway" drug. by capacity of utilising that it mindset that the conventional public of people who apply it to the full, bypass directly to much greater detrimental drugs. in addition to, The maximum cancers inflicting brokers interior the smoke do intent lung and throat maximum cancers, emphysema and protracted bronchitus. in addition to, it does harm thoughts cells, which decrease than no circumstances re boost. I lost a pair of merely ideal buddies to drugs, and one and all of them started with MJ. in addition to, the "pot heads" from my era who maximum useful smoked pot, and did no longer use distinctive drugs, are valueless right this moment. they do no longer take care of jobs, they talk like average stoners, they did no longer proceed their education and in truth not at all amounted to three element. they can't have sufficient funds a large house, high quality vehicles or help a enjoyed ones. None of their marriages lasted and maximum of their babies are the two "stoners" or won sensible and don't choose some element of do with them. particularly some them are homeless too. in case you prefer to work out what MJ on my own will do to you, hire the television sitcom "taxi" and study the character that Christopher Lloyd performs (JIM). That my expensive is what your harmless MJ does. SO, must you particularly love your BF, get him to stop. If he refuses, to detect somebody else. he's not worth having a woman buddy such as you.
