marijuana facts.

its not as bad as you thought.

1. marijuana does NOT impair short-term memory.

"Any impairment of short-term memory disappears when one is no longer under the influence of marijuana."

2. you can die from marijuana overdoes.

true but NO ONE has ever died from it.

"In other words, to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses."

3. marijuana does not cause brain damage.

"Actual studies of human populations of marijuana users have shown no evidence of brain damage. For example, two studies from 1977, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed no evidence of brain damage in heavy users of marijuana."

4. marijuana does not lead to use of harder drugs.

"The Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 1970s. Since then, hard drug use-heroin and cocaine-have DECLINED substantially."

5. marijuana does not damage the reproductive system.

"Studies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system."

6. use of marijuana does not cause more car crashes.

"when used to intoxication, does impair performance in a manner similar to alcohol, actual studies of the effect of marijuana on the automobile accident rate suggest that it poses LESS of a hazard than alcohol."

7. marijuana is not more dangerous that tobacco.

" however, that a heavy tobacco smoker consumes much more tobacco than a heavy marijuana smoker consumes marijuana."

8. marijuana does not suppress the immune system.

"Interestingly, two studies done in 1978 and one done in 1988 showed that hashish and marijuana may have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied."

  1. What about the fact that it makes you go out of your mind into this lowlife a*****e. It makes you stupid and completely changes the person!!!! I'm reporting this.


  2. yes my brother in law smoked it every day for about 5 years and he went off his head, he went to a mental hospital and is on tablets for the rest of his life his practitioner said marijuana was the main cause of his schizophrenia

    i dont think it matters if you smoke it now and again , just not everyday, i dont think its that bad really ( and no i dont smoke it! i used to! lol )

    your facts definitely make it sound better than i originally thought x

  3. I believe it. I never though marijuana was that bad for you. Everyone and police act like it is so awful but really its the safest drug you could use....I think it is even safer then alcohol. It's also great for a lot of medical purposes.  

  4. Do not know, have never used it, never had the inclination to try drugs and now my Doctors have problems with me taking prescribed drugs. Best of Luck

  5. Cogratulations.

    Oh yeah, and btw, this is considered a rant, so I'll have to report you.
