Answer 1

I smoked marijuana in my twenties and it helped alot with my severe depression. So far I have had no after effects. I had no addiction and no problem when I decided to stop smoking it. As far as I know the best way to get the effects of it is to smoke it. I smoked it for about 15 years and so far have no problems health wise. I would never drive while using this drug. It also makes you very paranoid. I always felt like someone was going to know I had smoked it. It always made me feel so happy. It takes all the pain away and last for several hours. It is great for nausea. I honestly don't think it makes you a bad person if you smoke it. But, it is illegal, which is crazy to me. I think it should be legalized in America. The government could make money off the tax. I don't think this is a dangerous drug. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Is a God made plant, first used in WW1 for the hemp. The fibers of the plant are extremely strong. Was used to make hemp rope. Plantations were formed, many in Indiana to produce the plant. Though after the wars, the plantations were destroyed, but the marijuana still grows all over, thus the term "rag" weed. wild grown. I let the others talk about smoking it.

Answer 3

As far as memory serves me right, it's a medicinal plant. But when the body ingests too much amount of it, it will destroy some organs and body cells. People have this notion that marijuana is an illegal drug by instinct. However, only the ones who take in too much shall suffer from addiction.

Answer 4

Just 2 observations: 1) often used with tobacco to help it keep burning 2) often burnt itself. Incomplete combustion should liberate a few thousand chemicals into your lungs. Some of these are toxic, some cause cancer.
Cancer could then turn up many years later e.g. 20 years.
Expect that to slip by most researchers, for many reasons. Expect most of the public to be very uninformed about this.

Answer 5

There are four major brain waves. Delta when we are sleeping, theta when we are daydreaming, alpha when we are relaxed and beta when we are motivated, focused, alert, and concentrating. Smoking marijuana keeps one in the theta alpha state. That person loses their drive and motivation in life. Not to mention the death of many brain cells. Some people such as cancer patients in chemotherapy use it to stimulate their appetite and serves a medicinal purpose in this case.. For a young person trying to start life and achieve something, it's sure is a way to become a dead beat.

Answer 6

Here's all you want to know and so much more you never knew you wanted to. Erowid is a database of drug knowledge. Also includes personal experience reports on almost ever drug known to man. From a psychological standpoint these reports are very interesting. A good way to learn the truth about drugs without all the political propaganda.

Answer 7

The plant is useful for producing paper and cloth products; an acre of hemp yields more fiber for these products than does an acre of trees, but can be regrown annually, unlike trees, which take years to reach maturity.

When taken in moderation, the drug is not particularly harmful, and does not lower your inhibitions nearly so much as alcohol. It can often create feelings of paranoia or serenity, depending.

Answer 8

It makes you stupid. Causes paranoia. It leads to memory loss. I knew a girl who smoked it daily and the last time I saw her, her short term memory was shot.

Edit:Sorry Mara...I gave you a thumbs down by accident. Oops.

Answer 9

The things I know for a fact is that it kills your brain cells and over time makes people who have genius IQ's lose so much information that they once knew. Seeing this happen to close friends is pretty sad. Also I have seen it lead to harder drugs which in the end have caused the person to commit suicide due to the flashbacks and voices in their head. This person just happened to be my late brother in law and he had already stopped doing drugs but in the end the effects caused him to take his own life anyway.

Answer 10

It make you very high,then you start hallucinating,
