What is the harmful side of marijuana (cannabis)? and can it do you well in depr!
Question: Marijuana is a stimulant with psychoactive properties. It is different for everyone. But it is helpful for milking creativity, enhancing memory, inducing motivation and stimulating appetite. If you are depressed and have no motivation and aren't eating and losing weight, cannabis can be useful to you. There are some exceptions just like all drugs/herbs/supplements, so it may not be useful to you. But it won't hurt you to try it.
I think it is healthier to skip smoking it and put it into herbal teas or brownies or something else, like that. But smoking it occasionally isn't that harmful. To get lung cancer you would have to smoke it as much as a cigarette smoker does (like a pack a day or so that's 20 blunts). No one smokes marijuana that much!
And no one gets fat using it! It does something to your metabolism. I think it is helpful for weight management. Have you ever seen a regular marijuana smoker who is fat? I haven't. Only if you use it with lots of alcohol would it be possible to be fat or depressed.
The only cons of marijuana are the small chance of experiencing paranoia, violence and getting caught with it (legal repercussions).
It is all natural and completely harmless. It doesn't actually kill brain cells (not any more than would die naturally anyways) and it doesn't destroy your lungs (only if you smoke it several times a day over a long period of time). It is the least habit-forming substance and it doesn't have any horrible side effects or cause a rough withdrawal.
Don't listen to the people who say it is so bad and stuff. They are just confusing it with the bad drugs like cocaine and meth. And most of them are tobacco and drug companies who are being threatened by this harmless and tempting little herb.

It makes you lazy and unmotivated, and while it may seem to help with depression at first, it will actually contribute to it.
it makes u depressed especially if u get schizophrenia
It can kill brain cells and cause depression.
Marijuana is a DEPRESSANT, it will make depression worse
it's a drug, so can't be accepted by any Muslim. i don't know ur rules.
excess of anything hurts, same goes for cannabis.
small amt. can act as depression-killers...
Being that marijuana can make you paranoid, lead to weight gain from the munchies, and lead to withdrawal from friends and family, no, I don't think it would help at all for depression. In fact, it probably makes it worse.
no one side effect is depression
It burns your brain cells. It can cause cancer. Its illegal. Can be addictive. You lose your drive to do well. If you do it, stop. If you don't, don't start. It's not nearly as cool as people make it out to be.
There isn't really many harmful side effects. The only real harm done is it may lead to laziness or irritability. For most people it does help in depression because it helps relax the brain. For me, this is true. As someone else has said, it is NOT proven that it can cause cancer, it's only a mild stipulation. It is fact that marijuana helps fight against leukemia, which is a type of cancer. It also provides the user with Vitamin C which is an essential vitamin in creating an overall good feeling and good health. Your best bets are to search through google search engine to find solid facts. The simple matter is, is that most people are highly uneducated about cannabis and won't give you facts on Yahoo Answers.
Also, to people claiming it is a depressant... this is false information. Before the government outlawed Cannabis, most (if not all) doctors were using it as a anti-depressant and pain suppressant. Cannabis has a huge list of positives and a miniscule list of negatives. In fact, most research to prove the Cannabis is bad for you, ends up turning up something new that shows it benefits. Here is a video of a man in court talking about marijuana. Maybe it'll educate some of the other people who are ignorant of it.

Hmm never caused depression for me, I was pretty happy and I liked to get out and do things while I was high, watch the sky and stuff, even go on walks sometimes, just let my feet do the work. Depends, you have to be in the right mental state or it will cause your depression to worsen, if anything do it with friends and not alone.
Edit: Shadow knows what its about, definetly would have my vote for best answer.
It can also make you really paranoid which exacerbates depression. If you know you are getting the stuff that makes everything funny, that's different. But write when you are high, and read it later. You'll remember how fun, funny, and great things can really be.
it can cause a lot of mental issues.could be now or years down the line.
Marijuana has some medicinal benefits, mostly concerning eye problems, but it will not help in mental problems...especially depression...some of the problems are short term memory loss, lung problems, equilibreum, and ability to make clear judgements. Stay away from it, it's not helpful...and it doesn't make you "cool" if your friends want you to join them
Weed enhances your happiness/disposition. So if you are happy it will continue to do so, if you are depressed it will keep you there.
So like alcohol if used responsibly it can be good for you.
Anyone who says weed can cause cancer is just stupid. Theres absolutely no link to cancer and smoking weed. Their chance of contracting cancer from smoking marijuana is minuscule. Tobacco smokers typically smoke 20+ cigarettes every day for decades, but virtually nobody smokes marijuana in the quantity and frequency required to cause cancer.
And weed doesn't kill brain cells. You must have a lack of them to accuse that. If it did in fact kill brain cells it could not be used medicinally.
And i still have yet to see why people say marijuana is bad. Does any body know who pays for the "Above the Influence" commercials/websites/advertisements?
Ill tell you... major tobacco and pharmaceutical companies. Because the medicinal/trend effects it would have on the public would steal massive business from them.
I can tell you from experience that cannabis has helped me GREATLY with dealing with both depression and anxiety. All these people who are saying that it leads to mental problems, I would love to see their legitimate sources that are backed by research. Oh, right, there aren't any because the government does not allow any sort of testing, medical or otherwise on marijuana.
It also does not lead to laziness or irritability. I use it daily and it makes me a much more functional, productive and happy person. I actually resent people saying that people who use marijuana are lazy and will "not go anywhere" because I am a very hard worker and am working towards the career that I want each day.
All I can say is that it wouldn't hurt you to try it. Remember that if you're not used to it it can be a bit strange at first so try small amounts. The feeling becomes more "normal" and functional after a while, simply because you know how to deal with it, it has nothing to do with tolerance.
Causes cancer.
