Answers:
Marijuana can make you too laid back and stop caring, but as long as you don't fall into this trap then it doesn't have much of a negative affect, in my personal opinion!. I smoke occasionally (one or two weekends a month) and I still maintain A's and B's easily, and I'm involved in numerous extracurricular activities!.

Health-wise, the carcinogens of marijuana are caused from inhaling smoke into your lungs!. This can be prevented by using a vaporizer, although these are extremely expensive ($200-300) if you want a good one!. I plan on purchasing one to smoke as an adult!.

Cigarettes are worse for you and contain so many chemicals!. Think about it!. Marijuana is ground up plant!. You even get the "buds" and ground or break them up yourself!. I think it should be illegal to sell marijuana, particularly to minors, but it should be legal to have your own plant for personal use -- like one, two plants per person!. There should perhaps be a age limit, say 18 like it is for cigarettes, and restrictions of use in schools, public areas, while driving, or at work!. The government could make a lot of money buy selling packs of "joints" with the taxation, as well!. People would purchase these even if allowed to grow their own, because of all the effort, time, and material required to grow a plant!.!.!. and the inconsistency of potency and the like!.

I also think alcohol is exceedingly worse for you than marijuana!.

Some studies have actually shown that marijuana prevents or reduces risk of certain cancers, and it is well known that it can have medically-beneficial or at least relieving effects!.

If you give me a moment, I'll find some links as sources for you!. [:

Finally -- I wouldn't try it until you're 18 or so, and then!.!.!. make a wise decision, as it IS illegal and can have negative effects on your life just because of that sole fact!. I tried it for the first time at 17, and I am 18 now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Marijuana is known to affect fertility in men and possibly women!.It also altars your brain chemistry and can make you react slower and become!.!.a idiot!.

Stoners, even if they are not high, are lame people!.I warned all my stoner friends before they started this up but they of course didn't listen!.

Don't start and quit anything you are on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say Cigs are worst!. I don't smoke cigs but I smoke weed everyday before class/work and after work!.


One time wouldn't hurt you!.

Also I am a sophomore in college and I hold a 3!.5 gpa!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it stays n your system 4 about 30 days unless u drink alot of water!. i would say cigs are worst cuz u can inhale more weed than tobacco and u never hear about anybody gettn cancer and dyin from weedWww@Answer-Health@Com

welll ill go in order!. your parents probably believe all the government propaganda!.!.!. for only doing it once nothing would happen to your lungs fertility, or brain cells!. and no weed doesnt damage or kill brain cells!. the only thing that happens is you get slower reaction time and people think it makes you stupid, that is ONLY when you are high!. and the damage of brain cells is from holding it in and not getting oxygen to your brain, not from the weed itself!. i know a fwe adults who smoke marijuana!.!.!. i dunno, if its your first time id reccomend any decent "kind" bud theres no use in spending alot of money on some good stuff (beasters) because it might be overwhelming!. uhhh!.!.!. no your grades wont go down!. first time users it stays in your system about a week but people who do it alot it can last up to a month!. ( id say a month for anyone to be safe) i dont really know any strains that are decent, only good stuff, which probably wont be easy to find!. any dank, ak-47, og kush, purple haze, blueberry!. anything that looks white and smells ALOT!. check online to look up more!.
i say give it a try!.
legalize marijuana


- and cigarettes are way worse if you ask me!. even with the as bad as 4 cigs theory!. firstly, it doesnt have all kinds of chemicals, and its not addictive!. also, weed can be eaten, or you can use a vaporizor!. so there are other ways to get high besides smoking it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

cigs are worse!. Highly addictive nicotine!. Tobacco toxins are known to cause cancer and heart disease and chronic lung disease like COPD!. You didn't ask about alcohol but it is far more dangerous than cigarettes or heroin or crack!.

Marijuana has NOT been linked to any serious illnesses, like lung cancer or heart disease!. One small British study even showed it may have protective effects against lung cancer!. It does however have tars, and prolonged heavy use may cause COPD (emphysema) It also has been associated with low sperm counts and gynecomastia (male breast enlargement) It can be psychologically addictive, though not physically!.

However, I have used on and off for over 30 years without any problems, and am a high functioning contributing member of society in a very intense demanding profession!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With all the junk in the air these days, why do you want to insult your lungs with more junk!? Your respiratory tract is lined with cilia, tiny hairs that work to remove foreign matter from your airways, as a means of protecting your lungs!. Prolonged smoking destroys these cilia!.

Your lungs are the exchange station for oxygen coming into your blood and carbon dioxide leaving your blood!. Smoke--any kind--leaves deposits inside the lungs that interfere with this process!.

You're a smart cookie, so what about using your smarts!? What is the point of trying something that can steer you toward harm!?

Now I know that marijuana contains a chemical that is very good at fighting pain, but are you on the patient list for that!? Medicines do good, but nearly every medicine has its downside!.

You're young now!. Chances are very good you will live to be old!. What will be the quality of your life then!? Will you be old at 40!? At 50!? Or will you still be young at 70 or 80!? You will reap the reward or pay the penalty for how you've taken care of yourself throughout your life!.

So you may be smart, but can you be wise!?

Good luck!. Everyone experiences youth, but you've got to earn your wisdom, which often comes with age!.

Ah, the eternal question!. I smoke weed once or twice a week!.

Ok here is a short and sweet answer!.

Marijuan smoke itself is about 4times more damaging to your lungs than cigaretts smoke, this is obvious because tobacco is treated to remove unnecessary impurities and chemicals, and then it is cleaned and smoked through a filter while marijuana comes strait from a plant and is smoked usually without a filter!.


But you have to consider the fact that cigarettes are addicting and addicts smoke up to several packs a day!.

So smoking a marijuana joint every day is like smoking 5 or six cigarettes a day!. However most people, such as myself, smoke marijuana on a weekly basis, like once maybe twice a week!.

Also, marijuana does in fact kill braincells, your grades will drop if you smoke marijuana as much as I do for a long time but if you just do it once in a while at a party or something you will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've heard statistics that one joint is as bad as smoking four cigarettes!. But then again, who knows where those stats are coming from!. Also, it doesn't really compare because some people who smoke will smoke two packs a day!.!.!.like 25-50 cigarettes but the majority of people who smoke weed don't do it that often (it's not really addictive like cigarettes are)!.

Smoking it once won't hurt you!. Even if you smoked it a lot and then quit, after some time passed your body would replenish the damaged cells and you'd be fine!. That's like smokers who have bad lungs, if they quit smoking for enough time their lungs can rejuvenate themselves!.

I only smoke weed!. I think quite a few adults do it!. I know adults who grow it and some of my friends smoke weed with their parents!. It seems that once people have kids though, lots stop because they don't want to be a bad influence or a hypocrite!.

It won't remain in your body longer than a few days, but I think if they did a test on strands of your hair even years after, they may be able to find traces of it!. But I don't think many drug tests are rigorous enough to test your hair, and even if they did, the amounts they'd find would be so small you could blame it on second hand smoke!.

Give it a try if you want!. Just be aware of what you're doing and aware of what consequences you might face if your parents or the cops catch you, be responsible with it but have a blast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Weed causes cancer and is just as dangerous as cigarettes to your lungs!. Neither cigarettes or weed are healthy!. You can become addicted to both!. You can be arrested for smoking weed!.

Is all that really worth pleasing your friends!? If you get caught smoking the schools that you apply might find out and that 4!.0 GPA won't mean anything!. If I were you!. I would wait until you are out of high school and then think about this again!. Hopefully you will be in a different crowd and it wont be 'cool' to smoke weed anymore and you wont have to risk your life!. If its your parents that smoke do me a favor!. Ask them to research second hand smoke and what it does to the death rate of children!.

Good luck!. I hope you make the right choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
