ALSO:
no one is addicted to weed they are addicted to what it does to them so tricle if screwing fat ugly chicks is your thing then yes its that addicting. People dont understand weed becasue it causes problems for many and it can be a gate way drug for feible minded people. the dea of allowing it causes many problems for the government such as canibus is a better use than wood for manything. Untill our Money hungry government can figure a way to make more money off it than anyone else it wont be legal and always be shown as bad.
But, I really wouldn't mind if they legalized it. If someone want to smoke weed that's not my problem. On the scale of baddness, it is about equal with alcohol.
A mild hallucinogen, marijuana has some of alcohol’s depressant and disinhibiting properties. User reaction, however, is heavily influenced by expectations and past experience, and many first-time users feel nothing at all.
Effects of smoking are generally felt within a few minutes and peak in 10 to 30 minutes. They include dry mouth and throat, increased heart rate, impaired coordination and balance, delayed reaction time, and diminished short-term memory. Moderate doses tend to induce a sense of well-being and a dreamy state of relaxation that encourages fantasies, renders some users highly suggestible, and distorts perception (making it dangerous to operate machinery, drive a car or boat, or ride a bicycle). Stronger doses prompt more intense and often disturbing reactions including paranoia and hallucinations.
Most of marijuana’s short-term effects wear off within two or three hours. The drug itself, however, tends to linger on. THC is a fat-soluble substance and will accumulate in fatty tissues in the liver, lungs, testes, and other organs. Two days after smoking marijuana, one-quarter of the THC content may still be retained. It will show up in urine tests three days after use, and traces may be picked up by sensitive blood tests two to four weeks later.
The Impact on the Mind
Marijuana use reduces learning ability. Research has been piling up of late demonstrating clearly that marijuana limits the capacity to absorb and retain information. A 1995 study of college students discovered that the inability of heavy marijuana users to focus, sustain attention, and organize data persists for as long as 24 hours after their last use of the drug. Earlier research, comparing cognitive abilities of adult marijuana users with non-using adults, found that users fall short on memory as well as math and verbal skills. Although it has yet to be proven conclusively that heavy marijuana use can cause irreversible loss of intellectual capacity, animal studies have shown marijuana-induced structural damage to portions of the brain essential to memory and learning.
The Impact on the Body
Chronic marijuana smokers are prey to chest colds, bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma. Persistent use will damage lungs and airways and raise the risk of cancer. There is just as much exposure to cancer-causing chemicals from smoking one marijuana joint as smoking five tobacco cigarettes. And there is evidence that marijuana may limit the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease.
Marijuana also affects hormones. Regular use can delay the onset of puberty in young men and reduce sperm production. For women, regular use may disrupt normal monthly menstrual cycles and inhibit ovulation. When pregnant women use marijuana, they run the risk of having smaller babies with lower birth weights, who are more likely than other babies to develop health problems. Some studies have also found indications of developmental delays in children exposed to marijuana before birth.

ST. JOHN’S, Nfld — Supporters of marijuana may finally have an excuse to smoke weed every day. A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that smoking pot can make the brain grow.Though most drugs inhibit the growth of new brain cells, injections of a synthetic cannibinoid have had the opposite effect in mice in a study performed at the University of Saskatchewan. Research on how drugs affect the brain has been critical to addiction treatment, particularly research on the hippocampus.The hippocampus is an area of the brain essential to memory formation. It is unusual because it grows new neurons over a person’s lifetime. Researchers believe these new cells help to improve memory and fight depression and mood disorders.
And there is evidence that supports your statements, and a few of mine.
“That does not mean that general use in healthy people is beneficial,” said Memorial psychology professor William McKim. “We need to learn if this happens in humans, whether this is useful in healthy people, and whether THC causes it as well.” McKim warns that marijuana disrupts memory and cognition. “These effects can be long-lasting after heavy use,” he said. “This makes it difficult to succeed academically if you use it excessively.” “Occasional light use probably does not have very serious consequences. [But] there is some evidence that marijuana smoke might cause cancer.”Still, the positive aspects of marijuana are becoming more plentiful as further research is done. McKim says it’s not surprising that THC and compounds like it could have medicinal effects.
But ask yourself this question, why would cannabis be used to treat cancer if you believe it causes it?
Thanks for your input, I'm expecting a reply.
As long as cannabis is grown naturally and not treated with all kinds of pesticides and hormones, or the buds are sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids or other synthetic shit to get you high, I'm alright with paying a lil extra to buy some weed.

That's pretty much it. If you think about it, hemp is quite amazing. Well, so is cannabis... :)
"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I LIKE WEED I IZ WELL KOOL LoL!11!!!1!!"
*drops the f bomb*
"and i am ...outttaaa heeerrree!"
and i agree, they should legalize it. people who DONT smoke should agree with that cuz demand for weed would even go down cuz it'd be so common.
All in all, weed is great, so shut the fuck up :)
aaah after exams, big fat blunt coming my way ;) <3 <3 <3
It gets a bad rep from people who don't understand it. Do some research and you will find that Mary jane is a medicinal herb and not an end all gate way drug.
