Smoking pot slowly damages areas of the brain

Pot is just as much as a gateway drug as Caffine, or nicotine... The only reason some people try smoking pot and they go on to harder drugs, is because after they try pot, they realize that the harmful effects of it have been way exaggerated, so they may suspect that the harmful effects of drugs that are more dangerous may not be that bad..

Yup. The active ingredient, I think the abbreviation is THC, sticks around in the body for years. It also can damage sperm cells (knocks their tails off).\n\nAs the saying goes, "Pot smokers can't remember the brains they've lost."

It can mess with your head(well duh) but I mean more than just at the moment.  It can cause or make depression worse, it doesn't cause mental disorders but can make them worse.  It kills motivation, causes cancer, causes impotence.  Its emotionally addicting, which can be just as bad as a physical addiction.  What you really have to think about is why do it in the first place, there aren't many reasons to smoke pot other than at the moment it feels good, but there are a lot of reasons not to.  I have smoked pot for years, and honestly I wish I had never started.  I wonder where my life would be if I hadn't.

Are you sure you aren't doing any illegal substances like marijuana? It has been known to cause people to hallucinate and have phobias for no reason.

Is it actual blood dripping out of your eye or just redness?  Redness can be caused by a number of things (bacteria, viruses, allergies, irritation, etc).  See an optometrist or ophthalmologist so that it can be treated appropriately.

you are probally allergic to something..possibly all the pollen in the air,dust,animals or even foods.\n Use some allergy eyedrops and cold water rinsing and an ice pack..\n Rubbing or itching them will cause it to get worse,as you are actually grinding the irritant in deeper...\n It might be worth a trip to an allergist for testing.They can give you a prescription for some allergy eyedrops that work great...within seconds..\n Some over the counter ones actually have an ingredient that some people are allergis to,making it ten times worse.\n Pot doesn't make your eyes itch..it gives you dry mouth/the munchies...lol

The story I heard was that THC - the active ingredient in marijuana - vapourizes at a lower temperature than the ignition temperature of the remaining plant material.  So if you heat well ground marijuana to a temperature above the Tvapour of THC but below Tignition of the plant, you have an effective vapourizer.  Since you're not burning the plant material, you get less toxic smoke in your lungs - pretty good deal.

Effects on the Brain\nScientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.\n\nIn the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement\n\nThe short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine. Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.\n\nEffects on the Heart\nOne study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana. The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.\n\nEffects on the Lungs\nA study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.\n\nEven infrequent use can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways. Smoking marijuana increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck, and the more marijuana smoked the greater the increase. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced strong evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers.\n\nMarijuana use also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke. It also produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs’ exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may increase the risk of cancer more than smoking tobacco.\n\nOther Health Effects\nSome of marijuana’s adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system’s ability to fight off infectious diseases and cancer. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited. In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors.\n\nEffects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavi

Because my friend, marihuana (the ORIGINAL name of pot) causes you to lose your short term memory when taken in over-the-normal-dose... hence the reason why you were SUPER BAKED...\n\nI need my bowl back...:(

No, I'm telling you this again because well, you will need to hear the answers to questions repeatedly if you smoke marijuana. It hinders your memory and hastens the myelin sheath. Sorry! Ohh yeah and...\n\nNo

I really am not sure, but I do know that when I was very ill a few years ago I had to have several surgeries, my ex gave me pot to smoke to help me through my recovery.  I may have smoked a small cigerette roll once a week so I was not really a pot smoker.  It did help me heal faster and that is the honest truth.  I did do research for you and found that heavy pot smokers there are indeed risks I will paste below for your reading\n\nOther negative results of smoking pot are that it…\n\nChanges the chemical balance in your brain, altering your mood, appetite, ability to concentrate, and energy levels. \nLowers testosterone levels in men and upsets the balance of hormones in women that control menstrual cycles. \nDecreases sperm count and increases sperm abnormalities. \nJeopardizes the eggs in women’s ovaries (remember, you are born with the total number of eggs you will have for your lifetime – they are irreplaceable!). \nThreatens your ability to learn and remember things, leading to forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating. \nCauses the same lung problems as cigarette smoking, including emphysema, cancer, frequent chest colds, coughing, and more phlegm production. \nLeads to anxiety problems, depression, and paranoia. \nIncreases risk for cancer of the throat, lungs, head, and neck. \nWhat are the immediate effects of smoking pot?\n\nRelaxation \nAltered sense of hearing, time, and vision \nEuphoria \nIncreased heart rate and appetite \nDilated pupils \nMemory impairment \nRed eyes and swollen eyelids \nDry eyes and mouth \nLoss of coordination, slower reaction time (never drive after smoking pot) \nImpaired judgment \nHow addictive is marijuana?\nThere has been conflicting research linking marijuana and addiction. Although pot has not shown signs of causing severe physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, associated with drugs like cocaine and heroine, marijuana often causes psychological dependence. This means that the user experiences a psychological need for the drug and its effects in order to function on a daily basis. \n\nIf I quit marijuana, will I experience withdrawal symptoms?\nThe severity of withdrawal symptoms depends on the level of your habit, but if you smoke heavily, you are likely to experience psychological withdrawal, such as feeling sick. You may also experience chronic fatigue, headaches, mood changes, and feel depressed or anxious. Other withdrawal symptoms include nervousness, insomnia, loss of appetite, chills, and tremors. Impaired brain functioning can include short-term memory loss and inability to think abstractly. [top]

I haven't seen a kid or person ever get red ears when tired.  I've seen red eyes!  My son gets red around his eyes when tired but adults get actual red eyeballs.  I'm guessing it's because your body is telling you to go close your eyes, so the blood is rushing to your eye area.  Sorry if that sounds like a dumb answer but that is all I could come up with.

You might be sensitive to some ingredient.\nI've seen people get hives, turn red and splotchy around the eyes, break into a sweat and get weak, etc after drinking even small amounts. These same people will have no adverse effects with a different drink on a different night.
