okay so, whats the deal with weed? people always say you suffer from loss of memory and the whole mambo jomba about it, but my best friend smokes it three times a week and her GPA in college is a 4.0. Is it bad? what r the pro and cons of smoking weed?
Answer:
Pot is not harmless as many believe. Sure it won't kill you like meth or heroin, but it is not without some issues. Physically, it is much less dangerous than most drugs including alcohol and tobacco. There has never been a test that proved it causes cancer, quite the opposite. It is used by modern medical professionals around the globe for over 400 different known medical problems with clinically proven results. But that is medical, not recreational use which is what you are asking about.
Psychologically, recreational pot use can be another story. Everybody is physiologically a bit different from each other. That in itself will cause marijuana to effect people differently. The effects of course also have a lot to do with frequency and quantity of use, and yes, even the quality of the pot. A daily user will experience more side effects than the occasional user. There are many highly intelligent (no pun intended) people who smoke daily. Pot doesn't make you stupid. That doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of people who smoke pot who are stupid. But that's because they were stupid anyway, hence the large number of stupid people who do not smoke pot. But I can tell you some psychological issues that frequently happen to many but not all long term daily smokers.
1.) You already know about the short term memory loss, but it also tends to reduce the attention span.
2.) Reduction of drive, ambition and motivation, often to levels that prevent many people from every truly reaching their goals.
3.) A large percentage of high quality employers drug test, resulting in less than ideal income levels for those who can't pass.
4.) Many get really stoned jut before bed. This greatly reduces dreaming and the necessary REM sleep we need to not go bonkers.
5.) I know this sounds funny, but pot gives you the munchies and it never seems to be for food that is nutricious. The munchies can lead to being overweight or even obese.
6.) Spend a few hours around a daily smoker who is out of pot and can't find any and you'll see how it affects some peoples attitudes. Not every daily user, but many.
7.) Often hard to get to sleep if you don't have any pot.
8.) The worst one of all…life went by, and you missed it.

Answer:
what was the question again?
Answer:
I personally do not smoke weed but the only cons that I have really heard about weed is that after smoking it does slow down reaction times and there was a study recently done (although at the moment the name of the study I can't remember) that shows that smoking one joint is comparable to smoking 20 cigarettes and that it may speed up the possibility of lung cancer. As far as people suffering memory loss and killing brain cells and what not, it depends on how often they smoke, the amount that they smoke, and what kind of weed the smoke (what is mixed in with the weed). It also depends on a persons predisposition to drugs and so on.
Answer:
Some people lose thier memories and thats enough to call for war on drugs. I'm drug free. And Im totally against any illegal or prescription medicine or drugs.
Answer:
No there nothing wrong with it as long as you limit yourself. If it is needed daily, say when your friend wakes up there may be problem.
Weed is used by the American indians and has been for thousands of years. And many other cultures as well. It can elevate the mind to the boundless spirit world. This is what creates the creativity.
If the marijuana is junk, say grown under lamps and artificial fertilizers are used to enhance growth and in return the effect, cancer may develop in the lungs.
Otherwise no - its side effects are rarly negitive on health. And its interesting to note that how many people fataly overdose on alchohol per year? And in history there has never been a overdose of weed? I smell a conspiricy! Much luck~
Answer:
Well That Your Friend Probably Hasn't Been Smoking Long I Am 17 And I Have Been Smoking Literally Daily For About 9 Years Now And My Memory Sucks Yes I Am Still Highly Intellagent If You Ask Me But It Does Take It's Toll On The Body Besides From The Lung Part Of It. It Slows Reaction Time And Complicates The Multi-Step Problem Solving Ability Of The Brain.
