I smoke marijuana once and a while... should I stop???!


Question: I smoke marijuana once and a while!.!.!. should I stop!?!?!?
With all due respect, it is A LOT less harmful then alcohol, it makes me more creative, happy, and actually THC can restrict the growth of cancerous cells (so it DOES NOT cause cancer, in fact it could actually prevent it!)!. I think it's only illegal because the government can't profit on it (it would crush many markets, i!.e!. pharmaceutical, oil, logging, fiber, and even food markets!)!. And please, no stupid government facts from people that have never done it before, you people don't know what your talking about and I know MY facts!.

Just tell me from your own experience!.!.!. will it have any negative effect on my future!? Then, if so, why would alcohol be so much better!? Thanks guys! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Whatever rocks your boat!. If you want to smoke weed once in a while, its your choice!. You're right about the government and how stupid they are being about weed and marijuana is way better for you then cigarettes!. I don't think it's that healthy to smoke it like 8 times a day, but if you only smoke it once in a while then it doesn't matter!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think the government has made it legal (and why I don't think it should be legal) is because once the tobacco companies get a hold of it, they will try to make it bad so that it's addicting!. Tobacco alone is not that bad -- it's what the companies do to it!.

The deal with marijuana is that it doesn't have the same effect on everyone!. I learned about this in a psychology class about the effects of different drugs!.!. and marijuana could not be put under category -- it can be a stimulant, depressant, or cause memory loss!.!.!. it all depends on the person!.

I think it's fine if you do it only on occasion, just like with alcohol, it's when it gets frequent and excessive that it becomes a problem!. I will also advice you to NEVER drive after you've smoked some -- not saying that you'll likely cause an accident, but it can happen!.!.!. and even if you get pulled over for any other reason, if the cop smelled it on you you would probably get in quite a bit of trouble!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Marijuana has been illegal to test so the government only knows what they can gather from people on the street!.!.!.

There is really no proof that it will lead to a worse life unless u use it a lot(addiction(yes u can get addicted to it), smoke problems(smoking a piece of paper with nothing in it is bad for u)

Alcohol isn't bad either (in moderation)!.!.!. the big difference is that u can't overdose on marijuana!.

As long as u don't become a pot head and don't do anything too stupid/illegal while you are high, I can't see much that would mess up your future!. Fast food is a much bigger threat to US health then any drug!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, thats all true!. Thats why the Gov't makes it illegal and alchohol is no better, but that **** is stupid !.!.!. at least for me!. I hate it, it makes me feel like I am nothing!. It stefiles love and the feelings I really wnat to feel and it makes my natural felings go away and overpowers them!. Like Love and even arousal for example, its just weird on pot and love is much more better!. I like feeling normal and natural and loving and good and not lazy!. But unfortuanely sice I stopped I started caring too mucha nd have went insane!. I don't knwo if it was the pot ,but I am very much crazy!. It made me hear things and its never gone away!. Besides all that you don't need it and it's ilegal and can be more trouble than its worth , its expensive and I wouldn't smoke it even If I got a pound of Panama Red given to me right now!. I have however enjoyed tending to it and growing it and caring for it!. And I like the smell but the fact is I hate the stuff!. It turns people into zombies and junkies , and lazy selfish sh!t heads!. I'm sure there are many other plants i can love and care for out there!. I just need to find them!. Maybe Epimedium plants!. Love is from the sopul, pot is from the dirt!. Love is more important to me by a million times and more!. Ditch the grass!. Its for old hippies and wasted lives!.Plus you are way to beautiful for drugs!. WAY to beautiful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, a couple of things!.!.!.!. First off, I'm for legalizing drugs, but you asked about risks of MJ, so here they are!.

Just b/c marijuana can help out with chemotherapy-related nausea does not mean it doesn't cause cancer!. I've seen no definitive studies either way!. It certainly would increase your risk for cancer versus if you didn't smoke it b/c you're inhaling unfiltered smoke (which increases the risk for many types of cancer [not just lung], heart disease, high blood pressure, emphysema, etc!.)!. Also, people who smoke MJ and inhale deeply and hold it in are at increased risk for spontaneous pneumothorax (basically popping a hole in your lung)!. I've seen this multiple times!. So if you smoke, don't inhale deeply and hold it in!.

That said, smoking it "once in a while" probably won't make a huge difference!. Habitual smokers, though, tend to become less intelligent and articulate, in my experience!. You can always tell a person who's smoked a little too much marijuana in his/her day!. They tend to be very mellow, but aren't the brightest bulb in the bunch!. Some are even apathetic!. Everyone I know who smokes it "once in a while" has ended up smoking it more than that, for what it's worth!.

I support legalizing drugs for economic and civil liberty reasons!. Most cities spend the majority of their annual police budgets in "the war on drugs," and gang violence is largely over drugs!. This leads to other unnecessary and ineffective laws, like gun control!.

The same thing happened with Prohibition!. It let to organized crime, gang violence, and Al Capone, and one of the first major gun control laws (the National Firearms Act of 1934) was passed in response to the gang violence that ensued (albeit over a decade too late after the problem had already resolved)!.

I also am firmly against the government telling people what they can do with their bodies!. I do believe that driving under the influence of anything (alcohol, drugs, etc!.) should be illegal, but if you want to smoke MJ every night, you should be able to!. It may make you dumb as a rock, but that's your right, and you're not hurting anyone else (provided you're not driving, etc!.)!.

Alcohol has its own problems, but some studies have shown that a small amount of alcohol (e!.g!. one glass of red wine per day) can actually make you healthier!. Alcohol isn't really a carcinogen, per se, except that it increases your risk for hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
