It is a bad thing to do anything in excess. People don't realize a lot when they are smokin'. You constantlly compare your high to previous highs, continue smoking cause you enjoyed the first high and are trying to achieve it again. (will never happen). It is a depressant. When you stop smoking weed and start up again. You don't get higher. You start where you left off. Continued usage causes depression. It is a downer. Most people smoke weed, eat muchies (sweet snacks), joke around a little, reminise on previous highs, and pass out). It is used as a medication for people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy (cause it is a downer it relaxes you). I tried weed. Shoot it was my favorite. I made a lot of bad choices, ones that I've gained experience from having gone through them, but not ones that I'd want for my kids, or anyone else. The "good" things that weed can do for you are easily achieved by opening your eyes to the high of life. There are birds singing, a different canvass everyday. Flowers to smell, animals to touch. Food, goals to achieve. When you spend your time smoking weed that is your goal, and you become unaware of your surroundings, and your destiny. I am 25yrs old. I quit everything but cig. 2 wks before my 18th b day. I very seldom drink at all. I don't look down on people for using, I was there. Vini Vidi Vici. I came I saw I conquered.

Just be happy that he isn't drinking. Marijuanna isn't all that bad if done in moderation. You shouldn't have much to worry about. Pot smoking is more common that you think.  People just don't talk about it

Complex question!\nBuddha teaches so many good things:\nBe in moderation (not feeling too high or too low for too long, including moderation in any consumption).\nMeditation is good for the mind.\nThe Principle of Uncertainty (nothing stays the same for very long).\nSort of follow up of the above- so don't be too attached to things especially physical things.\nKarma (good deeds result in good thing and the opposite is true in the long run).\nAction and reaction (everything is caused by something).\nFour inescapable facts of life- birth, aging, illness and death.\nThere are different kinds of people.  We have to understand and deal with them accordingly (I guess be flexible and understanding).\nAnd many others including the simple five commandments for many ordinary people- kindness, truth, faithful in relationship, honesty and sobriety.\nTo name a few!\nThese may sound depressing.  But I think if you add "smell the roses along the way" to these, it will help to spice things up a bit (as long as you know that the rose will eventually turn to dust).

Im 18\nmarijuana is the most commonly uses illegal substance in the United States. it is used by many people, most of which aren't your stereotypical "druggie", with no life agead of them. Many of them hapen to be very successful, good people. Think about it almost if not every person who reads this paper will know (even if they don't realize it) at least one if not several regular users of marijuana. Its often made out to be much more harmful htan it really is, unfortunatly not every one realizes this. \n\nWhat many people don't realize is marijuana is much less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Yet it's the one of the three that gets a bad rap and is illegal. Marijuana isn't even physicaly addicting. You certanly don't see meetings for marijuana like you do with alcohol and AA. Unfortunatly due to American culture the less harmful of the three is illegal.\n\nThe most common reason why marijuana can be harmful is that people can often come across laced marijuana without realizing it. Marijuana can easily be mixed with other more harmful drugs with out the buyer realizing it, until they have already used it. This is a dangerous thing that causes many people to do more harmful, hard core drugs without realizing it. If it were to be legalized the government could provide guide lines, like it does with alchol  to insure that people knew what they were putting into their bodies.\n\nMarijuana actually has many helpful benefits toward diseases / sicknesses. Marijuana can reduce nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by AIDS. It can Reduce interlobular pressure, which alleviates the pain and slowing and sometimes even stopping the progress of glaucoma. Common side effects of chemotherapy are nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting, all of which marijuana would help. It can limit muscle pain and relieve tremor nad unsteadiness of gait for multiple sclerosis patients. Marijuana can help prevent epileptic seizures in some patients. It can also alleviate chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries. Each one of these applications have been deemed legitimate by at least one United States court, legislature, and/or government agency.\n\nDue to these reasons and many others many people are going to jail/prison on a daily basis due to simply smoking a little pot These aren't dangerous criminals that would kill or rape someone. Many of them are teachers, lawyers and respected members of their communities. But yet we still pay thousands of dollars of tax payers money to lock up non dangerous "criminals" yearly even though most aren't going to stop after they get out of jail. Don't you think the money spent here is a waste? Couldn't it be going to more useful things such as hospitals, disease research, or better schools? These are the things that would benifit the people of this country. Certanily you would rather benefit the people more than throwing a non violent pot head in jail who was only trying to smoke a joint and relax after a long days work in jail. There is up to forty million regular (note thats just the regular not occasional users) drug users in the United states. If we were to throw all of them in jail it would cost $500,000 per million people, plus the cost and space of building many more prisons. Couldm't that money be spent on building hospitals? There's already about 1.5 million people tax payers are paying to keep in jail over drugs. From 1990 to 2003, nearly 5.9 million people had been arrested for smoking marijuana. Thats a greater number than the entire population of Alaska, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Montania, North and South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming combined. This country simply can't afford to put 40 million more in jail.\n\nMarijuana should be legalized. It has many uses such as helping sick patients. People are going to smoke it no matter what the government sais, and with out govenment guidelines thi

Happy 420!  I use marijuana for treating depression. It also helps with anger management. I have had success in using it as a pain reliever.

There's this weed that had poisonous spiky hairs on the thick stem, and if manhandled, spreads it's seeds really fast and the hairs can cause tumors in the hands. Also really hard to pull up and the root can grow more plants. And it's in the U.S.! Wyoming!

Hi Tawnee S,\nSounds good to me (hamster & fish get high too) shouldn't have any effect except to be stoned-2 tokes for the road!! \nIgnore all the ones that say this is bad! Unless you smoke marijuana & know the difference.  If you are one of those few that believes everything the damn government says then you really don't have the clue.  And should read for your yourselves & get some knowledge while at it!  The effects of pot- on MS patients, glaucoma, Cancer patients, AIDS patients, radiation patients.  People that have other mind blowing sicknesses & medical problems will know the difference. Yes my doctor knows so for all those others GO READ & GET SOME KNOWLEGEMENT DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT SAYS!    Have a good day :0)

The answer to this is more difficult then your might imagine due to the difficulty in performing research on the actual effects of marijuana.\n\nThe overall answer is likely no, but it is less harmful then many might imagine.\n\nIt appears that marijuana is not good for your mental health, a variety of studies have shown a correlation of marijuana use with various mental illnesses, but this is only a correlation and has yet to be shown to be an actual cause of mental illness.\n\nHealth effects on the body and thought to be similar to that of tobacco use, yet studies have yet to show a link with lung cancer and other negative effects of tobacco use.  This could be due to both the chemical makeup of marijuana and the way in which marijuana is smoked.\n\nMarijuana has been shown to be beneficial to help certain people deal with complications of treatment for cancer and HIV/AIDS.  It also can be useful in dealing with chronic pain.\n\nOverall, from a health prospective you are better off staying away from Marijuana use.  Under certain circumstances Marijuana use could be helpful to you, but I would recommend only pursuing this after long discussions with a medical professional
