Is weed as bad everyone makes it out to be?!


Question: Is weed as bad everyone makes it out to be?
A couple days ago, I tried it for the first time at a firends house, with some buds, and it was pretty fun, just chilling and bieng high, talking, and laughing. My firends get high once every couple of days or week. And I dont really have a problem doing it again, I dont plan on making a habit out of it though, just as an occasional thing.

anyways..
I was recently reading some things about it. and I read that smoking weed is way worser than drinking and smoking cigs, and that its not as bad as everyone sais it is, that its the governments way to scare ppl not to use it, because since they cant profit from it, they dont want ppl using it. And just like every other drug it has its cons but their are alot worser things. and I heard that it infact does kill brain cells, but slowly.

Actually Cannabis has been proven to slow the progression of Alzheimer's. Also cannabis does not cause cancers but can actually slow the progression of cancers down thus making it easier to kill or allowing the terminal patient to live longer. Though I do not encourage people to part-take of illegal drugs (for using them will get you landed into jail!) It is a great thing for people to have their facts straight when it comes to drugs. The only legal way in which is smoke or use Cannabis is by medical prescription. And the only way to get it prescribed to you is if you are terminal, which means you are going to die. The main reason that Cannabis is not legal is because the government has not found a way to tax it, and also because anyone can grow it there is no way in which to keep track of how many plants the people that are allowed to grow it have. You can look it up online at any medical site just type in Cannabis using "ask.com" and you will be amazed. P.s. just in case you are others do not know this Cannabis is the correct term for "pot:marijuana"
Ignore Teenage Dreamer. That person does not understand that the only way to learn things is to ask questions and try things out! I did Cannabis a total of twice in my lifetime (I am 26) I will not do it again though. It is a highly addictive drug and it impairs you to a point that others can take advantage of you (an example here is you can be raped and not remember it) As long as you are asking a question and do not fail a drug test you can not be arrested for a hypothetical question. Because just cause you post on Yahoo that you tried it does not mean that you really did, it is considered a hypothetical situation. I do not recommend that you do pot again for the fact that even though you say occasionally it will become a habit and you will not be able to stop the habit.



i smoke weed once in awhile and it doesnt affect me, its not addictive like all the other drugs so thats a good thing. It does kill brain cells someone i know has done it too much so now it seems like he's always a little high(dumb) ..if you do it consistently it would most def be a turn off, it doesnt even have to be a weekly or monthly thing tho, i havnt done it for 5months nd im planning on doing it soon so yea. i agree it is pretty fun :) hah.

It's true that it's not as bad a cigarettes and drinking, but it's still best to stay away from that stuff.

weed has 0 total causes of death in history! just do it responsibly



YOURE AN IDIOT! WORSER IS NOT A WORD!
I could get you arrested because of this question. You are openly admitting to the Internet , the most public thing ever, that you smoked weed. It IS illegal in the United States of America. You smoking it is illegal. Doing illegal things results in consequences. Seriously, if the cops see you smoking weed your plee of "it's not that bad for you, the government just makes it illegal cause they can't make money of it" will result in a "tell it to the judge". And of course, the judge wont give a damn.
Why get high to have fun? You're that much of a boring person you need substance to have fun? Wow.
How would your mom/dad feel if they knew you were smoking weed.
Yes you don't plan on making it an every day thing. No one did. It's a GATEWAY DRUG. Seriously. Get a brain.
I really hope a cop sees this post and tracks it back to you. Maybe that'll knock some sense into your hard head.



No. Alcohol and Tobacco kill tens of thousands of people every year. Cannabis has 0 documented cases of overdose or death resulting from use. Alcohol and tobacco are far more addictive than marijuana.

This doesn't mean it is safe. Marijuana can be habit forming (mental addiction) and is still illegal (except for medical treatment in a few states).

I recommend you research marijuana law in your state if you are going to continue to use it.

Edit: to the person below me
Talking about using drugs is not illegal. Many people have admitted to drug use including former presidents. Possession of a controlled substance is illegal.

I imagine that it is very addictive, and it also accelerates memory loss, and hair loss, which is nothing to get "happy" about. Plus the fact that it is illegal, and the fact that you hold it down longer than regular cigarettes, it has to be doing some damage to your lungs. Why do you think it is illegal, if it is not harmful.
Although, alcohol can be harmful, and yet they continue to sell it in the stores to collect taxes off it, and then tell you they are concerned about drunk driving. What do they think people drink in bars, water!
