Is marijuana bad for you?

Question

Can anyone tell me the bad effects of marijuana, since I smoke 1-3 times a day. I think it would be good to find out how it could potently be hurting me. If you could provide links showing me how its bad, that also would be great.

Answer 1

                                                                                                                 Well my friend no it is not. But I am sure you will hear alot of fear driven stories that it is. Most of the bad stuff that you hear is from those who have never smoked. The only problem is that it is illegal.

Answer 2

i think it's okay. b/c as long as your happy and take care of yourself you should be good. b/c i think as long as you are mentally happy will give you healthy results. but i mean as long as your feel healthy why stop?

sorry i didn't feel like looking stuff up..........

Marijuana and Mental Health

A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and schizophrenia. Some of these studies have shown age at first use to be a factor, where early use is a marker of vulnerability to later problems. However, at this time, it not clear whether marijuana use causes mental problems, exacerbates them, or is used in attempt to self-medicate symptoms already in existence. Chronic marijuana use, especially in a very young person, may also be a marker of risk for mental illnesses, including addiction, stemming from genetic or environmental vulnerabilities, such as early exposure to stress or violence. At the present time, the strongest evidence links marijuana use and schizophrenia and/or related disorders6. High doses of marijuana can produce an acute psychotic reaction, and research suggests that in vulnerable individuals, marijuana use may be a factor that increases risk for the disease.
