Answer 1

It is not good for you unless you have terminal cancer or other kind of illness that makes you be in constant pain.  Weed can demotivate you to live life.  It's not good for your lungs and I'm sure it does kill brain cells.

Answer 2

It's prescribed to some people to help out with really really bad and chronic headaches and some people with cancer because it causes the muchies and stuff to help them eat. And there is a lot of other reasons. Its really not good but it isn't near as harmful as crack and heroin and meth. I've smoked before it affects people in different ways. It just makes me laugh a lot but some people have like freak outs but its actually not good for just regular people...that's why its illegal

Answer 3

Dukefent is wrong and the others are partially wrong. There's a study going on right now to see if pot can prevent lung cancer because it has 25 times as much tar,but NEVER EVER has been linked to lung cancer!

Now there are bad effects from it too as some people get emotional problems from it,but it's not all bad.

Edit: Whoever gave me a thumbs down IS CLUELESS!

MD: Read the report from the web page I gave! It's NOT A CARCENOGEN!

Answer 4

BADDDDDDD!!!!

unless you need it [ medical wise ]

Answer 5

dude, ask your friend to smoke you out and find out for yourself.  if you like it great. if not, that's cool too. just don't try to tell the rest of us how to live afterwards, k?

Answer 6

Yeh

Weed kills your brain cells, but your brain cells to grow back.

JUST WITH NOTHING IN THEM, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FRIED THE **** OUT OF YOUR SELF.

hehe

i done it weed..

i dont any more

Answer 7

It does more harm than good.

There are vitamins that you can look up that help with mental clarity and concentration.

Be weary of "magic" cures though.

Look for pure vitamins.

wiz23: smoke + lungs = not good.

marijuana is carcinogenic.It has tar.Given smoking a joint is not as bad as smoking a cigarette, it can still be harmful.

I'm not anti mary jane.I've share a few hits in my lifetime..but I also know what is healthy for my body and what isn't.

I prefer eating it.

But still, I don't consume it simply because I know of natural healthy ways to feel "high".

Answer 8

its good for a while, then it can mess u up... i used to smoke £170 a week for 8 years, and now i am messed up...i get major panic attacks, and my tolerence for it is ****ed...i can only be in the room with it now and im high and clutching my heart to c if im gonna die!

too much of anything is bad for u...however if ur not a bell-end like me , and can control the amount u buy and smoke...then puff puff give!

Answer 9

its the most non-dangerous thing you can do, but it has a tendency to take over some peoples lives. just do it in moderation if you ever do start smoking. it really can help some people concentrate more but i don't know how lol. i would NEVER go to school high and i'm a pothead. i save getting high for after all my obligations of the day are taken care of, ( school, work, ect...). i smoke marijuana to help with my depression, i know i'll probably get alot of thumbs down for this but i really don't care.

Answer 10

Good: It's fun, if you like that kind of thing

Bad: More harmful than cigarettes to your lungs etc.; causes long-term damage to basic cognition, decreases capacity for short-term memory; can trigger or exacerbate psychological disturbances such as paranoia ... oh, and it's illegal.

While some substances in marijuana may have legitimate medical benefits; any promotion of so-called' medical marijuana' is almost certainly a cover for promotion of recreational use.  If there were any real benefit, it should be treated like every other drug of plant origin - namely, extract or synthesize the active ingredient, and provide a measured, safe dosage form which can actually be used reliably.  It makes no more sense to smoke weed for medicinal reasons, than to drink foxglove tea for angina.
