How bad is marijuana for your health?!
Question: How bad is marijuana for your health!?
I've read on plenty of sites different effects, but is there a definite and severe health risk from smoking it!? Is there any different health effects of smoking a blunt compared to smoking through a bong or eating it in brownies, cookies (etc!.)!?
Obviously it isn't good for the lungs and can cause short term memory loss, but is there any serious health risk that shortens life expectancy!?
Is marijuana any more dangerous than caffeine or alcohol (note that pot isn't addictive, and those two can be)!?
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Smoking pot in a spliff has the same dangers as smoking a cigarette, plus the potential of long term mental harm!.
In cookies, it obviously does not have the risk of smoking, but the potential long term mental harm is the same (plus, calories - haha)
Bongs I am not too sure of, but still the long term mental harm!.
Caffiene is not dangerous compared to weed, but weed is just as dangerous as alcohol in regards to the psychotic harm it can do!. Although, alcohol abuse destroys your liver!. Weed does not!.
Weed *on it's own* (without the added dangers of smoking it to your lungs etc) is as harmful as alcohol in the long term!. In the short term, it has been proven that weed does not hold the same dangers as alcohol!. For instance, someone who is drunk will drive more dangerously than someone who is high on pot!.
Weed in any form will shorten your life expectancy!. On it's own (say you just straight out eat it) will shorten your life expectancy, but not as much as if you smoke it (or eat it with calorie filled cookies! Haha) which will shorten your life expectancy because of the drug, and because of the added dangers to your lungs of smoking etc!.
Realistically, because alcohol is legal, pot should be legal!. The only reason it isn't is because the governments make more money off it being illegal!. It is also impossible to enforce tax on weed nowadays, because so many people know how to grow it themselves - so they might aswel keep it illegal and carry on fining people who have it!. Greedy gits!.
I personally think weed should stay illegal, and so should alcohol - but then again I'm boring, and hate people who pump that crap into their bodies!. This is just my personal opinion, and realistically, my opinion is irrational =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
