Smoking pot slowly damages areas of the brain

red eyes\nshortness of breath\nincreased risk of cancer\nshort term memory loss\nlowered sperm count\nerectile dysfunction\nbirth defects\nincreased chances of miscarriage in women\ndifficulty becoming pregnant\ndepression\nincreased chance of mental problems eg paranoid schyzophrenia\npotential jail time\nmonsters in your closet.\n\nKeep in mind the chances of all these things increase with prolonged usage. I have not tried it.  I had to do an assignment on it is high school.  I don't really have a problem with people doing it.  The effects of weed are not that different from the effects of alcohol, except it makes you slower.  Some people are capable of using it in small amounts and others are not capable of controlling the addiction.  It is all dependant on the individual.\n\nI forgot to add ( thankyou Sangre Y Leche) that these are potential side effects and do not necessarily happen to everyone who uses.  The risks are increased with very heavy usage but many people with moderate levels of usage do not display any of the above.

Yes, the short term effects are:\nproblems with memory and learning\ndistorted perception \ntrouble with thinking and problemsolving \nloss of motor coordination\nincreased heart rate\nAnd, the users always think it has NO effects.  Yeah, right...denial at it's best.\n\nWould I want someone who is under the influence of weed to:\nfix my car\nbe my doctor\nbe my nurse\ntake care of my pets\ntake care of my kids\nbe behind me in a car\nor do anything that will impact my life or the lives of my loved ones? \n\nAbsolutely not!  They may not value my life or that of my loved ones but I do.

I had to have a few months "off" of my friend, which wasn't hard to do considering all he hung out with were his pot smoking friends.\n\nWhenever pot came up I would, rather harshly, make fun of him for being a pot head.  I would make fun of his pot-head friends, and make him feel guilty for ditching me for them, his "best" friend.  And we drifted apart for a while.\n\nNothing rude.  No harsh words or ultimatums.  Silence.  If you can try it for a month.  We eventually drifted back, and while he still occasionally smokes weed, he recognizes how the constant influence of the drug had changed him, and hurt our friendship.

A few.\nThere was that one guy who crashed his helicopter while flying 10 tons of weed.\nAnd that other guy who was killed in jail while serving a marijuana conviction.\nThat's about it -- Marijuana it is more harmful then we all thought!

I dont know what antabuse of marijuana would be,but there is abuse.Abuse would be taking too much of it in one day.Just taking it once is bad.

The following are some of the common side effects of using marijuana:\n\n    * Trouble remembering things\n    * Sleepiness\n    * Anxiety\n    * Paranoia (feeling that people are “out to get you”)\n    * Altered time perception \n\nUsing marijuana for a long time makes some people lose interest in school, work, relationships and other activities. It may also cause legal problems. Using marijuana can be especially dangerous in certain situations, such as when you are driving.\n\nThose things don't sound good to me.

Weed is the number one drug in the western world that causes addiction related health problems and loss of function in the person's life.\n\nYou lose a tremendous amount doing dangerous drugs like pot.  You aren't as smart as you should be, you aren't as capable.  It dramatically interferes with your ability to lead a normal, happy and satisfying life.\n\nI worked inpatient community mental health for years.....including more than my share of drug related problems.  I know what I am talking about with this.  I've met a hell of alot of people who come from good families, started out smart and with everything going for them.  Then, they started smoking weed.  Ten years go by and they are now in the trashcan of society.  No job, no prospects....no LIFE.  Wondering how they got there.

god made pot..... man made cigs and alcohol.... make your decision...\n\n\nwhat the other person said is true.. brain cells are reduced.. you wont be able to pass a drug test and get a decent job, and if you keep on.. your chance at ever having kids will be very slim.\nhowver on the other side of that.. it is a natural herb, doctors perscribe it to cancer patients for the pain... and if a dr perscribes it.. it cant be all bad.. right?

Weed alone wouldn't do that.  Either he took something else that he didn't tell you about, or the joint that you had was laced with something.  Pot doesn't cause "flashbacks" because it doesn't cause hallucinations to begin with.

though family personal experience it never stops at cannibis. bet you have tried other things right? it changes you as a person you become angry and self obsessed, paronoid, lazy "carnt be bothered" secrective, a liar. those are a few common traits. next thing your "mates" have moved on and your on your own wanting to get that bit more high. you will spend every waking moment wanting drugs wishing you had listened but people never do! its not a funny subject it really happens this way i have seen it and due to the "disease" called drugs had to cremate the my brother 2 months ago.

There is some evidence from human studies that long-term marijuana use\ncan have adverse effects, although it seems that the spectrum of these\neffects is narrower than previously thought and mainly centres around\ncognitive (intellectual) function.\n\nA paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) vol.\n287 No. 9, March 6, 2002, pp. 1123-1131) found that long-term cannabis\nusers performed less well than shorter-term users and controls (people\nwho didn’t use cannabis) in tests of memory and attention.  The\nlong-term users averaged 23.9 years of use, compared with 10.2 years\nin the shorter-term users. You can find an abstract at the American\nMedical Association web site: \nhttp://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n9/abs/joc11416.html , but access\nto the full text requires subscription to the journal.  Note that the\ncomments associated with the article (links to them are underneath the\nabstract) indicate that some other investigators do not agree with\nthis conclusion.\n\nAnother study published in a Canadian medical journal (CMAJ 2002 Apr\n2;166(7):887-91 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11949984&dopt=Abstract)\nfound that: “Current marijuana use had a negative effect on global IQ\nscore only in subjects who smoked 5 or more joints per week. A\nnegative effect was not observed among subjects who had previously\nbeen heavy users but were no longer using the substance. We conclude\nthat marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global\nintelligence.”  This study compared IQ scores of individuals aged 9-12\nyears before they started using cannabis, with their scores at 17-20\nyears.  Light users, former users and non-users showed a gain in IQ\nover the same period.\n\nOne reason for the decreased IQ and memory in consistent heavy users\ncould be the fact that long-term cannabis use has been found to\ndecrease blood flow to the front areas of the brain (Neurotoxicology\nand Teratology 2001 Sep-Oct; vol 23 pp. 437-43  Frontal lobe\ndysfunction in long-term cannabis users by  Lundqvist T, Jonsson S,\nWarkentin S. of the Division of Medical Neurochemistry, Lund\nUniversity Hospital, 221 85, Lund, Sweden  \nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11711246&dopt=Abstract\n\nA study published in Public Health and Nutrition, June 2001, vol. 4\npp. 781-786 (Dietary intake and nutritional status of US adult\nmarijuana users: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition\nExamination Survey. By Smit E, Crespo CJ. of the Department of Social\nand Preventive Medicine, SUNY School of Medicine, University at\nBuffalo, Buffalo, NY 14214, USA.\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11415485&dopt=Abstract\n) found that marijuana users have lower levels of carotenoids in the\nserum.  The authors concluded this was associated with different\ndietary habits: “We found higher cigarette-smoking rates and higher\nconsumption of sodas and alcohol, specifically beer, among marijuana\nusers than among non-current marijuana users. Marijuana users also\nconsumed more sodium, fewer fruits, and more pork, cheese, and salty\nsnacks.”  Carotenoids are important anti-oxidants which help to\nprevent cancer and other diseases.  An increased risk of these\ndiseases might be due not so much to marijuana use itself as to the\nlifestyle led by many who use it.  Better attention to nutrition, in\norder to ensure a good intake of fresh fruit and vegetables,\nparticularly the red, yellow and orange ones, will help to boost\nantioxidant status (see below)\n\nA review of various studies came to the conclusion that: “Regular\nmarijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in\nthe structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially\npredisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer.”  Alveolar\nmacrophages are cells in the lungs that help clear away debris and\nba

Marijuana effects some of the very same receptor sites that are targeted by antidepressant medication (such as zoloft) in an antagonistic and unpredictable way.  So there is no way to know how the two together will react in your system since everyone is different.
