You must be relating to the recent study in rats or mice. This study, showed evidence that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, slows or stops growth of cancerous lung tumors.
THC has long been known to reduce nausea, and increase appetite...very useful for cancer and aids patients. TCH also helps to lessen the severity of the symptoms of glaucoma.
So, marijuana does have some benefits, for some medical conditions.
That being said, it also has drawbacks. It's easy to become a daily smoker. It causes short-term memory loss, and tends to make people lazy and unmotivated. Not good if you're trying to get (and remember) an education.
I have no problem with marijuana, used socially, by adults who are not operating vehicles. It's safer than alcohol. If it was legal, seems to me that our government could make a fortune from the taxes, and save the billions of dollars spent on policing, prosecution and imprisonment.

Vaporizing is best
Like any other medicine it should only be used under a Dr. care. I lived in Europe where medical marijuana has more credence. It has been used as a medicine for thousands of years...go to
www.norml.org for more info
and for the rest of you mental midgets do some research somewhere besides Fox nonNews
Medical marijuana is indicated for cancer patients as a soporific for the side effects of chemo therapy
Heroin is called dope....dopes call marijuana dope
www.letfreedomgrow.com
www.medmjscience.org
when you start a sentance with the phrase "everyone I know..." you are using anecdotal evidence which is not evidence in any way and cannot be used to support an argument or rhetorical position!
Even the US government sells medical marijuana using your tax dollars....the farm is in texas last I heard
Cam...Anesthetic? I think you mean Analgesic!!!

I have never heard that smoking weed is good for you and do not believe that it is, but it is normally not as bad for you as other drugs can be. Some drugs can give you major brain damage and cause other problems. If you smoke too much then you can get lung cancer but it is not smoking weed is not addicting.

No, it's not good for you. It'll have definite effects on your mental abilities, trust me. I smoked for quite a few years, and everyone i knew that smoked eventually did it every day. Also, most of them eventually started doing much worse drugs. You'll likely be no different, regardless of what you think right now. Of course, smoking occassionally, as in once or twice a month, probably won't have drastic effects on your health, i just haven't known too many people who actually can do that. but yes, it's not at all good for you. plenty of research can tell you that.

What idiot told you THAT?? No sorry, weed is most definitely bad for you. In fact the average joint has as many carcinogens as 8-10 cigarettes.
And if anyone tries to sell you that, "Hey, weed is all natural so I couldn't possibly be bad" crap...then think about this: Rattlesnake venom and poison ivy are all natural too! Are those good for you?
And contrary to what some people have said here, weed is often addicting. However, weed can be psychologically addictive, which varies greatly from the physical addiction that goes along with many other drugs. But still...why play with fire?

One weed cig is equal to 10 cigarrettes on your lungs. Also I know someone who has smoked it in the past and now has lots of teeth troubles as well as a bad breath problem. And yes, this person brushes his teeth too.
If you value your brain cells, I would think twice about using this recreationally. If your friends say it is good for you...consider the fact they smoked too much already. They call it "dope" for a reason.

marijauna is provided in pharmacies for certain medical conditions. it can treat a certain illness that people have. it is not a really bad drug, nor is it good. it kills your brain cells and can also effect your memory. it also effects your sperm cells... you can google it up for more information... but otherwise it is not an addictive "drug" as apposed to meth,crack,cocaine, nor ciggerettes. marijauna also causes different effects on different people. if you are planning to do any kind of drug or smoking! weed would be the only kind i recommend................ don't smoke ciggs, don't do drugs........... (some people don't consider weed as a harmful drug)

The only thing being close to "good" for weed is that it can act as a anesthetic. But that's just another excuse to smoke the drug without it being illegal. It's more healthy if you just don't smoke

It's good for you in a lot of different ways, in my opinion. It's also bad for your lungs.
Marijuana isn't as bad as 'they' make it out to be. I've somoked it for some years now, and I'm fine. I think I'm even a better person because of it.

The drawbacks are poor grammar and spelling. Don't let that happen to you...oops, too late.
