Question

My friends Want me too smoke weed, Can you tell me the pros and the cons?

Answer 1

I just know the cons since when I tried it I didnt like it.

1-Makes you lazy

2-waste of money

3-Youll get hungry

4-In the long run it will make you dumd

5-might lead you to harder drugs

Answer 2

Makes you feel good.

Takes away time, money and opportunities.

As long as it doesn't effect your grades or your relationships you should be fine. You're not gonna get stupider unless you do like three a day.

Answer 3

The only bad thing is you won't get high cuz its your first time. But also once you do get high, your going to want to do it again. But **** this lazy ****, the only people who get lazy are already lazy *****. Just have some d**n discipline and do work.

Answer 4

pro: you will get high

but then again if you are happy wit yourself you shouldn't depend on grass to get happy LOL

con: IT'S Addicting somewhat, i've known ppl who used to smoke weed once every week but now she has to do it every day LOL and it's also an entrance drug to cocaine etc.

LOL

ps. idont know about other girls, but i wouldn't kiss a guy if he smoked weed LOL it's just weird ya know

Answer 5

To start with, one big objection is that your friends want you to do this, instead of it being something you want for yourself. It's important to be able to stand up for what's best for YOU. Don't allow anyone, even a friend, pressure you to do something that isn't in your best long-term interests.

Also, marijuana is illegal. Life really is a lot simpler and happier when you're not looking over your shoulder to see if you've been caught.

And it can keep you from getting a job someday, if you flunk a drug test.

Besides that, smoking anything is bad for your lungs. Marijuana smoke is at least as toxic as tobacco smoke. Do you want to risk ending your days with cancer, coughing up bits of bloody lung tissue (as happened to my dad, a tobacco smoker)?

Answer 6

What is your need for this? If your friends think you should stick your finger in a meat slicer would you do that? Grow up and make your own choice, don't be so immature that you can't decide things like this for yourself.

Answer 7

Are you really asking for permission to take a mentally-impairing drug?

Party on, dude!  Say goodbye to your brain cells; you won't be needing them any more.  Think of it as evolution in action.

Answer 8

First off, it is your choice whether or not you want to smoke. Nobody is forcing you to smoke here unless your friends don't really respect your decision. If you do not want to smoke, great, then don't. If you do decide to smoke that's fine too.Since this would be your first time the effects can be a wide variety of things.  Really depending on how much you smoke or if you inhale or not you could feel nothing, or you could feel incredibly happy, or even confused. Depending on whether or not you like these effects or not you can decide to do it or not. It's not like you will get addicted to it and wont be able to stop if you really want to.  Really its all up to you.

Pros

- Can feel really good

- Makes things more interesting

Con

- If you smoke everyday and suddenly stop you can start to crave it but with no other side effects

- Can be expensive

- If your job drug tests, can make you get fired

- Smoking too much can cause a foggy memory (this can be fixed by not smoking for several days)

Neutral

- Makes you hungry

Answer 9

If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then don't.  It's not that big of a thing.  It will make you relaxed, probably laugh your A$$ off if it's your first time.  It just generally makes you really mellow.  Cons are plentiful.  It's illegal, so you could go to jail if caught with it.  You could really start to like it and spend too much money on it and do it instead of more meaningful things.  It will hurt your lungs just like a cigarette would.  It's called a gateway drug by many because it can lead you into trying drugs that are even worse for you.

Answer 10

pros

makes you laugh your *** off

something to do

you will always have those..oh..when I was young talks

cons

spending the cash to get it

the brain cells you lose

risk of getting addicted

risks to beign expose to stronger drugs

honestly, I do it once in a while. and only when one friend of mines has it. I dont buy it, or carry it. if they offer it I say yes. its like driking to me. its just soemthing to do. I have a good job 8-5 and make over 40k a year. not a lowlife, but I could be better off with better friends.

Answer 11

dude, dont fall victim to peer pressure, say no. if they smoke dont be around when they do, if they are cool the will respect that, if not find better friends.

Answer 12

depends on how old u r, a lot of people smoke weed and work and pay taxes, living happy and productive lives, the reasons marijuana is illegal is based on racism and drug-makers not wanting competion that ppl can just grow in there back yards among other things.  

BUT becoming a habitual smoker at a young age will make u less motivated, better to wait until ur 18 but lots of ppl smoke weed at younger ages and turn out fine.

EDIT: pros:mood lift, euphoria

laughter

relaxation, stress reduction

creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily

increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell)

change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection.

pain relief (headaches, cramps)

reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this)

boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny

cons:  possible mild to severe anxiety, dizziness, confusion, difficulty with short term memory during periods of frequent use, respitory problems (if u smoke it, u can eat/vaporize)

Answer 13

weed is nice, i can tell u that. ive been smokin weed for about 2 yrs now (im 16) but i gotta tell u, wen i did it, it was bcuz of me, not bcuz my frends told me 2. dont cave in to peer pressure. that just shows u dont hav a strong will. wen u start, start bcuz of u, not ur frends.

Answer 14

Cons: It robs you of your right mind, making all your decisions bad ones.

It takes you out of the moment, and delivers you to Looney Tunes.

It takes away your confidence, your drive, your ability to reason, your desire to make a better life, and live in a clean home, and replaces it with apathy, the munchies (fat), lethargy, laziness, a filthy home, severe cloudiness of thinking, and not much reason to do anything but get high, laugh at garbage, and throw your life, your future, your present, and your family to the wind.

If that's not enough to keep anyone from ever wanting to try it, consider getting caught, and jailed for becoming too involved with it.

Answer 15

Pro's:Gives you a buzz for a while

cons:damages your organs!

Answer 16

Pros: It will make you feel really good.

Cons: It will make you very hungry.

           It will make you very lazy.

           It will make you want more.

Answer 17

This is a huge subject and I am not sure if its possible to cover all the points here. I used to smoke a fair bit of weed and I dont have a problem with people smoking if they want. I dont smoke anymore though the reason I stopped was to stop smoking cigarettes. I noticed a huge change in myself when I  stopped which was actually surprising because I didnt think it was slowing me down. It has effects on your short term memory and also lessens your sense of motivation and also has a tar content of about 50% more than tobacco. It is also not legal so there is a possibility of getting busted.

If you are going to smoke then it is best to limit it to about once every 3 or 4 days, as the body builds up a resistance to THC really quickly.

Sometimes you smoke some weed and it makes you laugh alot or some makes you get really tired or some makes you really trip out, well, there are about 13 different types of THC (THC 1, THC 2, THC 3 etc etc) and most weed will have about 3 or 4 different types of THC in, (for example it could have THC5+THC 11+THC 6) the different types and the ratios give you a different high. True. AND did you know that it is not the THC that you inhale that makes you stoned?? Your pituitary gland has the ability to produce and secrete THC into your brain, and the THC you inhale just tells the pituitary gland to secrete certain amounts. The THC you inhale just acts as an analogue and tells your pituitary gland what to do. So the secret would be to be able to control your pituitary and you could be stoned whenever you like.....

Smoking pot causes your blood sugar levels to drop, So what happens is that your brain wants you to eat so that you bring your blood sugar levels up again. You get the munchies and when you start eating it tastes soooo good that you cant stop? especially candy?? well that is your brain f****** with you, your brain is telling you it tastes so good so that you eat more ......SO then your sugar levels go up again.

It is not bad to smoke weed, it is bad to let weed have a negative effect on your life. There is a time and a place for everything, and the time for weed is not every day. One of the downfalls of smoking pot is that it lessens your sense of motivation....so, if you are going to smoke, Improve your diet and get some exercise...If you are not exercising then it means that the weed is stopping your motivation....

   But if you want my advice I would say don't start, it is easier to not start than it is to stop....It takes a bigger man to say 'no' than 'yes'.

   Unfortunatley, when I see my friends that still smoke pot I find them really boring, 'straight' conversation moves to fast for them and they can not keep up and dragging them away from the x-box is impossible and their breath stinks....

But hey, its up to you....

Answer 19

Your friend wants you to smoke weed. hahahahha. Are you that suggestible? "A man in a car offered me a sweet, what are the pros and the cons?" haha.

Give it a go mate, and if you don't like it, don't do it.

Answer 20

It's a waste of time.  It makes it seem OK to be bored.

Answer 21

Pro: Social, part of the group, can be fun, story to tell, experience to share with your kids with the whole "I did it when I was young so I know, you stay away from it" speech.

Con: Screws up your brain, can be addictive, ILLEGAL. Being caught just once will s***w up the rest of your life, possibly banning you from travelling abroad, having nice jobs, getting an education.

Keep this in mind, more people have never even seen weed first hand than have smoked it before, so refusing to smoke it does not make you part of the minority, or make you weak or a wuss under any circumstances.

Answer 27

Some of the best times of my life were smoking weed.... or at least I think they were..... were they?..... can't remember.....

Anyway, the problem with weed is that some people move on to other worse drugs. It's considerred a stepping stone recreational drug.

The other problem is that some people never outgrow it and become unmotivated losers perpetually stuck in High School mode (which is not cool when you're in your 30s).

Answer 28

pros: there aren't any

cons: u'll want more and get addicted

          you will get lung cancer

           u can ruin ur life

           PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!
