to calm yourself down and sleep eh, whats the difference between taking zanax or sleeping aids, marijuana is natural
no bad side effect if used in moderation
it might be worse for you than ciggarettes but cigarette smokeres smoke 10+ cigarettes a day, if you smoke to fall asleep or calm yourself down, what 4-5 rips from the jay, only a few times day, or even better from a bong, or the new ways of smokeless vapor, with zero neg effects on the health |

drugs like marijuana arent ever good for anything. Side effects may develop later on in life |

I smoked MJ for years. All that time, I never realized what it was doing to my brain. I had absolutely no short term memory, very little ambition, other than to look forward to getting high again, and no focus on life's goals.
I have been off pot for at least 18 years now, but when I finally quit, it was because I started into harder drugs and realized after near tragedy that this was not for me. Pot is a gateway drug.
Off the pot, I realized that I was walking around in this translucent bubble that hid the realities of life from me.
I can think clearly now. |

Did you have bad side affects when you smoked it???? Well there's your answer then. |

no. its all hype to keep it illegal.
the only reason it is illegal in the first place is because the textile industry was losing money to hemp products so they fabricated some research to say it promoted deviant behavior and was bad for you and sh!t..
its actually harmless.. well, other than lung cancer. but new studies show printers and photocopiers are actually worse for your lungs than second hand smoke, so we're all gonna die of lung cancer anyway.. |

marijuana as you know is an illegal drug. It contains something called THC which, with long term use can have adverse effects to your body. Some immediate physical effects of marijuana include a faster heartbeat and pulse rate, bloodshot eyes, and a dry mouth and throat. No scientific evidence indicates that marijuana improves hearing, eyesight, and skin sensitivity. Studies of marijuana's mental effects show that the drug can impair or reduce short-term memory, alter sense of time, and reduce ability to do things which require concentration, swift reactions, and coordination, such as driving a car or operating machinery. check out this link it has some good info on the drug. http://www.well.com/user/woa/fspot.htm

I've used it a few times and have never experienced anything bad from it. I also know lots of people who use it practically every day, and theyre as fine as ever. There are loads of worse drugs out there.
The people that say yeah probably havent tried it.. |

Its just like beer. If you start to smoke too much it can be bad. But with moderation, there's nothing really bad about it. Other drugs, however, are pretty bad. |

One problem is in many cases its not the same stuff the hippies had or they would have used in theose
That 70s show
sit comedy
it more the 20 time stronger.
So think... one shot of vodka or a cream bun... not much of a problem.
but 20 shots in 5 minutes or 20 cream buns in 5 minutes
Get the idea?
Also most joints are full of nasty cancer causing and addictive tabacco.
Bit like cat food is dead horce and chriat knows what with a little rabbit flavouring.
its not rabbit purely in the catfood.
Most people I know have done done.
I have 2 cousins who are loopy as a result.
But much depends on latent potential for metal probblems ie gandad was pskitzophrenic
Its bad seeing them that way... One keeps thinking he is connected to the link where people bounce thoughts from metal surfaces.
others become boring tossers only drinking or doing dope.
Ie they go all the way to Austrainlia and stay in the crippiest hostels in Kings Cross the Soho like red light district for a year never travelling the great barrier reef etc ort mixing with the locals.
You could try eating it it... no smoke related problems or something like natra calm where you know whats in the pill and less harmful side effects.
In most cases people try it and grow out of it.
But yes its is not safe. see below for the top agencies who dont bull **** you |

If I were you I wouldn't take it--I dont' knwo how bad it is but from what I hear it's pretty bad
If you need to calm down and sleep try meditating--it's sounds stupid but atleast give it a shot--then you can say you tried just sit down and breath you don't have to listen to that soft music if you don't want this is about YOU relaxing not about the sterio type of what makes everyone else relax you don't want to cause your self stress ---but your are trying to relax so I wouldn't suggest anything like iron madden or ozzy LOL If meditation doesn't work for you try getting your doctor or some over teh counter medicine to help you sleep that isn't habit forming and to relax try doing something you like to do watch a movie or take a hot bath or sit on your pourch and have a bowl of ice cream or something
Good Luck -- you've got all my prayers ~

There are no side effects, unless you consider the degredation of the central nervous system a side effect.
What happens is the membranes between the brain and everything else are degraded causing less, or no response. What the apparant effects are is lack of stability, reflex time is slowed, and sensory perception is slowed or changed.
I used to smoke to. |

There are more negative aspects than positive, but in reality it is much less addictive and dangerous than any other drug out there. I don't see any problem with smoking it on occassion. |

I came from the 60+ era and the stuff grown was more organically trustworthy. Now I wouldn't trust what they put in it and how it's grown. Crazy people out there! Besides, its illegal-zero tolerance now. Times have changed and so have laws.... |

Anything done without moderation is bad for you, smoking is always bad for you, weed, depending on your biological make up can be bad for you.
I have friends who get constant headaches from smoking, others get super relaxed, and some are for some reason just too damn pensive to be a pot head.
Depending on the strain of the plant as well, it could have good or bad effects on you. The carcinigens in weed smoke have proven to have mutagenic properties which is a bad thing for you, but they're like never active and no one has been reported as having real health problems, aside maybe from some respirtory ones, related to weed.
THC is a bronchio dialter, it opens up your airways unlike other kinds of smoke which cause them constrict or even shut on you. And you should know that's a bad thing. |

no it's not, I had to quit due to a friend setting me up in a sting to avoid his own legal problems, I could of sure used a doobie that night the swat team surrounded my car for an ounce of weed. what a sick world we live in, wish i could move to a state where medical marijuana or smoking is allowed. The only side effects are that you will want to eat everything in your refrigerator, and be in a calm happy mood, and sleep well. I functioned fine, at work, at home, in life, except it's illegal and people will f you over in a heartbeat to save their own as*. Be careful who you socialize with. |

Now studies show that long term use can cause phycotic behavior. It does the total opposite to me, I am wake for hours on end if I do any the only time I have anything to do with it is when I am suicidal two tooks is all it takes to change a persons thinking! |

Yes. Especially if you have any mental issues, and if you don't, it will give you some, like short term memory loss. |

There is an upside and a downside to everything. Pot isn't as dangerous as alcohol, and nobody has ever died from an overdose. But as with everything else, you must be responsible. Don't do it when you shouldn't. Like before driving or work. Doing it all the time isn't good either. It makes you lethargic and lazy. It also makes you stupid while you're high. There is a time and a place, and it isn't everywhere, all the time. |

I use it for the same thing and it helps me. Now, even when I'm not smoking it, I'm actually more relaxed and layed-back because it has taught me that life works better when you don't stress about every little thing. So apart from this one positive side effect, I don't have any negative ones. |

That depends on how you look at it. It's not as bad as cigarettes, alcohol or prescription drugs. Actually, I would suggest it to (an adult) that was needing it for the same reasons you say you use it. I think it's a miracle drug. It helps with pain, irritable bowel, stress. Not to mention that it inhibits the growth of cancer. I also just read a study that says that smoking marijuana is as bad as cigarettes, yet in the same study it stated that people that smoked mj and cig. were less likely to develop emphysema than those who smoked only cigarettes. hhmmm?? MJ is also not physically addictive. It's only mental, so it's not very hard to quit if you had to. |

It can worsen any mental disorders you have. I have panic disorder and weed made it worse so I stopped.
Some people turn into lazy hippies (like my sister's ex) and other's are fine.
It sort of depends on certain people. It can cause lung problems. I wouldn't say it's worse for you're health than cigarettes.
Most of the people I know smoke it. My dad. His friends. My sister. Her friends. They've all sort of done nothing with they're life. Sometimes gone to jail. Just bums. But if you like it that way than go for it. |

No, don't be silly. The government's still watching reefer madness, and claiming it's a scientific study. Remember that our government once sprayed Paraquat (a defoliant) on the marijuana fields in South America. Some of the sprayed pot made it to the US, and people got sick. The government use the peoples health issues in their anti marijuana campaign claiming it was the weed that made them sick. never explaining why no one ever got sick off of pot that hasn't been sprayed with Paraquat. |

I think its just a way to get kids off the drugs. Which is reasonable. But I was a pot smoker and I very much had my head on straight. I work very lightly and get paid very good. So its not something that will hurt you, but I think is the way you use it. If you abuse it, it will damage your life just like alcohol and prescribed drugs. |
