What does smoking weed do to you?

Q: Before you answer, PLEASE read this :I’m 15 years old, and I smoke weed ONCE IN A WHILE. I really don’t do it a lot. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke ciggerattes, but I’ve done them before but I don’t like it. When I smoke my heart beat goes up and I get kind of paranoid but I don’t do it that much. I’ll say 2 or 3 times a month, for the past few months. Usually before I go see a movie. I share like 3 blunts with 4 or 5 people. I’m just worried if it’s bad or not, or do I have to be an extreme pothead for it to be horrible? I know it effects your teeth, and I know it makes your memory bad if you smoke too much. And don’t tell me “i smoke odee it’s not bad for you” cause thats just a stupid answer. Obviously it isn’t good for you. But in my case, I want the truth. Oh, and I have asthma. I’m definately not addicted, and I REALLY don’t think I’m gonna get addicted. But I just want answers.

A: Weed’s better for you than tobacco smoke. If you get good quality you can experience a euphoria of laughter. Things will suddenly seem more intriguing and you’ll want some food. There aren’t many negative health side affects. Unless you wanna consider weight gain…None of which sound like a bad thing really….Honestly, it’s just one of those things that’s illegal, but shouldn’t be.

Why is smoking weed bad?

Q: After reading some people ask about smoking weed the average answers were saying the same thing ignorant negative things. Now i’m pretty sure i know what 70 percent of you are going to say. Examples would be… It’s bad for your health, You can die from it, Addiction, Leads to other bad drugs, Impairs you, Bad habit, Cost to much. Some of that, if not a lot of that is true. I my self smoke weed. I am very well mannered, I dress, look conservative, and am not addicted to any other “drug”. So why is it bad? I would have to say its because people say its bad, and when a majority of people say something about someone or something… A lot of people believe it with out giving it to much of a second thought. Smoking weed is bad for your health. You lose as many brain cells smoking weed as you do hitting your head with your hand. As for dying from it… That statement is completely false. Unless your smoking like 50 joints every second you can’t OD. Weed has no addictive substance in its natural form. The only way to get addicted to it is if someone tampers with it, or you get mentally addicted to it… which you can to pretty much everything in life. Weed also impairs your thoughts and actions, but compared to just drinking alcohol, it’s nothing. Even when impaired by weed the only thing thats altered is you become more lazy and laugh, and get munchies. That to me sounds pretty harmless. Weed can cause a habit, true. But so can playing games, smoking cigs, drinking, biting nails, and buying shoe’s. The list can go on an on. As long as you know what your getting into the habit shouldn’t form to bad, and even if it does, the cost of weed is little. it costs me about 18 bucks to have one good night at a party with alcohol, But it cost me 20 bucks to have a months worth of nice times with friends and compared to the other bad hardcore stuff its relatively cheap. A tab of acid normally ranges from 8-15 bucks, and a “good” mushroom trip is from 15-20 bucks. Weed can become that gateway drug leading to those addictions but about 70 percent of the time people skip weed and go right to the bad stuff. In Asia, and the middle east, weed is a religious herb used by Hindus, Muslims, Sikh, Rastafari, and Ancient Hebraic. Also if your just anti drug, then i would hope your not drinking coffee, pop, or even taking tylenol or advils. All of those are even worse then smoking weed as YOU CAN OD ono those drugs, yet we use them as relief. It confuses me and im pretty sure a lot of other people, what society deems right and wrong. Because apparently it was right to use slaves… to kill when one look at another wrong, have kids used for labor, and have kids in porno. So again after looking at the comparisons. Is weed really all that bad?

A: Not entirely. And I’m not just saying that because I smoke.The downside is that it IS illegal, which I seriously don’t know why it is. If weed is illegal then beer should be too. How many accidents do you hear about that are caused by people that are high? None. And how many include drunk drivers…ALOT. But like you said, it’s impossible to become physically addicted to weed unless it’s laced. and whoever does that and doesn’t tell you is sick. Before I started smoking I thought of it as a negative thing. But now, I definitely don’t see it the same way. I researched it. yes…researched. lol. I had to know exactly what I was getting into. And after reading articles…both pro and against I really couldn’t see the harm in it. Remember when you were growing up and teachers always said if you smoke you’ll lose all your friends…HA! LIES! If anything it brings you closer together.But I absolutly agree with you. I think weed isn’t that bad compared to many other things.EDIT:woah. I just caught something. It only cost you 20 bucks for a month supply? …that’s not right. It’s about 20 per gram. And you usually smoke about half yourself, even if your sharing it with friends. A gram is about enough for two people…three, but that’s pushing it a lil.

What are the bad things about smoking weed?

Q: i only need to know the negatives, i have quite a lot positive but not many bad points, but if you know any pros that arent the normal “you get high” then that’d be good too. also does anyone know about cancer? because i’ve heard it helps prevent it AND can cause it.there are a ton of articles about it preventing cancer/killing cancerous cells….this isnt because i want to start smoking it by the way.
