How can you say weed isnt bad for you

Question

its scientifically proven that weed will slow your brain down if smoked over long periods of time and most people who smoke it dont have a casual joint they smoke it everyday so it will deffinatley **** you up, i mean i would start smoking it but i am smart enough to realize it will **** my brain lol

Answer 1

LOL I can't.

Never smoked it, ate it, or been anywhere near it intentionally. =)

Once in college, a project partner started smoking it, I left and requested re-assignment. Don't get me wrong, I was not judging that person, I just didn't want the consequences of something others did.

Luckily none of my room mates were into that stuff.

Answer 2

I don't get how people can defend things like marijuana its really stupid.  

Answer 3

well cigarettes are worse i mean its not like it gives you cancer or any diseases or **** the only thing it does is makes you relaxed depending how much you do smoke. thats why you dont smoke everydamn day like few times a week or something few times a month. i mean i smoke pot like few times a week but not everyweek and im perfectly fine its not like its make you stupider im still smart and my junior year ill get even more smarter

Answer 4

No one (real scientists and medical professionals, not stoners) ever said that pot wasn't bad for you (at least not that I have ever heard of). Even people that support the legalization of marijuana admit that it can have detrimental effects on your health. All the pro-pot group is saying (once again, the educated people, not the stoners) are saying is that pot is not worse for you than tobacco, alcohol or any of the "hard" drugs.

A joint (provided it is not laced) does not contain all the toxins, chemicals and carcinogens that are in tobacco. Mary Jane may slow your brain function and cause you to gain some weight (the munchies), but it will not cause an over dose death like hard drugs (meth, opiates, cocaine, and crack) or alcohol (alcohol poisoning). There are some negative effects of the smoke inhalation of smoking pot (not present in other forms of consumption) but that smoke is not nearly as bad as tobacco.

Long story short, weed isn't good for you, but it is not the worst thing you can do, by far.  

Answer 5

Because people *do* know better...they just dont want to give it up, so they start finding ways to justify it so they can keep doing it and feel okay with it.

Answer 6

to each his own
