You will find those who say it is bad for you have never done it to know and those who say its OK have done it. I smoked it for 20 years almost everyday and have suffered no side effects but everyone is different. The only bad thing I can say about it is the cost
thanks
No ill effects on you other than being a complete asshole motherfucker,other than that not a single one.
@ quagmire

Yeah thats my excuse whats yours cunt?
I dont need any excuse.Only Pussies look for excuses.You remind me of a bigmouth I once knew who could talk badass but when it came time to lay it down he always had an excuse.
You remind me of a homo and if we ever meet Ill be prepared to show you what I can do you come on this site and talk tough through a Keyboard. People looking for trouble really arent much trouble at all your probably some middle school loser who still wets his bed
No Im wetting your moms pussy with my sperm>NIGHTLY. OH YEAH!
Weed is a gift to all mankind. Although not everyone understands it yet.

Cigarettes are sold to kids 18 and older (and sometimes younger than 18) and have been linked to causing ALL types of cancer, yet it is still sold legally through out countries.

Alcohol is sold to kids 21 and older, and yet there r teenagers as young as 13 going into rehab for it. Alcohol can also be linked to stomach cancer and kidney failure due to excesive amounts consumed over long periods of time. Yet it is still sold legally. (I for one enjoy hard liquor and a good cold Beer - So I'm not against it as much as I am cigarettes).

Weed has no proven side effects. They say that weed kills brain cells, but wat they dont tell u is that u kill more brain cells smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Weed is used medically to ease the pain of cancer victims, yet its illegal.
@ quagmire

It amazes me that when people run out of things to say they resort to talking about peoples mothers your a whiny little faggot who gets bum raped on a regular basis so dont keep calling other people out to hide your depraved feelings I bet your smithees latest squeeze bitch
weed is perfectly fine for 95% of people, but the other 5% can't handle it for some reason: probably just because weed mellows you out and makes some people way too lazy. Most are fine, but I really have seen people get ruined by it in high school. That said, smoking weed is part of growing up and everyone should do it to see if they like it and can handle it or not.
Weed is fine. Why do people crap themselves over it? Shouldn't they be focusing their awesome altruism on bigger issues?
Ive tried weed and really liked it for awhile it gave me the giggles and i enjoyed it,but then the giggles went away i got the munchies all the time,got lazy and wanted to sleep a lot so i quit.i prefer beer but to each his own.
Funny as hell, weed was originally banned because it was viewed as competition by textile dealers. People thought weed was to be worn, not puffed. The cigars I sometimes smoke are more than ten times as hazardous. Hell, my poison of choice is a red Marlboro and weed is still weaker than that.
Anyway, you should only buy weed from a really thrustworthy source, 'cause, since it's illegal, you can never be sure about its quality.
I'd still reccomend cigars. Sure, they play havok with your body but, then again, so does life in general. I say if you're going down, go down with style.
It's all in your head. Whatever you subconsciously believe it will do to you that's what it will do. Sometimes I think that weed doesn't even really do anything to alter your mind physically.. everyone just believes so strongly that it does that's what we feel.
@: kscar
If you really believe that, then you are an idiot.
smoke more i smoke two blunts a day and hit the bong 3 or 4 times before i go to sleep weed has zero long term effects on your body, just on ur mind you done get addicted to weed just the feeling it gives you
Cabinet70 is one funny ass dude.
@: skynet
just remember that weed is not acid you fucking fool.
wasn't meant to be directed at you. Mine appypollyloggies, me ruint droog.
You people are unbelievable! Here we have a fifteen year old kid on the verge of totally screwing up is life with drugs and you miscreants are pushing him on to do them! Assholes!

POSTER!!!!

If you smoke marijuana you will become insane and kill people every time you smoke it! Believe me! I know and not from personal experience!

Did you also know that if you smoke marijuana you will:

*Kill everybody
*Wear womens clothing
*Become horribly gay, lusting for only really fat men but it won't matter since you will have killed everybody anyway
*Drive only Saab automobiles
*Watch reruns of "What's Happenin'?", old WOody Allen movies and "InuYasha"
*Eat only white foods
*Bathe monthly
*Shit yourself in public and like it
But seriously......


Smoking pot makes you complacent. You won't care about anything. You're likely to become satisfied with some dead end job as long as you can get high.

Stop before it's too late. Seriously. There are better things to do and better things to spend your money on.
LOL, don't let anyone tell you smoking weed is wrong. You're at the age when you have to decide whether you're going to buy into the the government propaganda (which is motivated by racism, wood pulp, textile, and tobacco industries) or whether you're capable of making your own decisions with an open mind. People who smoke weed aren't bad, they're not endangering their health, and they're certainly not sadistic or malevolent. They're a mix of hard working people and more laid back people like any other group. They just want to be left alone in peace, not persecuted for their beliefs, not oppressed, not forced to live in a cage because they think differently than wealthy politicians. Stay high, my friend, and never let anyone convince you you're doing something wrong. And be careful, people hate us. Just try to remember that most people are unenlightened and ignorant, and will hate what they're told to hate, like sheep. Follow your own heart, not your high school D.A.R.E. program, and not those clever commercials advocating the "war on drugs" (which is little more than a war on lower income families). Roll yourself a fat spliff and smoke it, look deep into your own heart and make your decision based on what you feel is right, if you feel it's wrong than stop smoking, but please never attempt to oppress your morale code on your neighbors. Be careful out there, and remember, just because the majority believes in something doesn't make it absolute truth (slavery, anyone?).
weed is both

the bad is....
* it over time can cause cancer (bob marley)
* it can prevent you from recovering from certain mental disorders (anxiety, paranoia)
* it's expensive (im up to $200 a month now just on weed)
* make you eat a lot of junk (make you fat)
* you will want to do other drugs besides it sooner or later

good is....
* can cure ailments (headaches, stomach aches)
* no one has overdosed on it
* easy to get
* you feel high
* pain reliever
* it has been used for thousands of years
i read that he died from lung cancer...... and have heard it from numerous people.... guess I'll have to look up on that thanks
it started in his toe... which they later found it was in his brain, lungs, and stomach, mainly caused by smoking marajuana. This same statement is on at least different legit. websites.
my post says the organs were effected by the weed....how can you think that I thought a toe be effected by smoke, morons, lol?????
they saw his toe messed up... but it was against his belief to amputate.... after he died, they found the cancer, or 'smoke damage' in his organs.....


But how can you say that a man that probably smoked on average a nickel a day, and did other things on top of that.... had healthy lungs?

Im still young, only smoked pot for six years, and my lungs are effected by it! (semi chronic bronchitis) I only used to smoke like three grams a day, and six cigarettes.

about one gram (maybe a smidge more) of weed has more tar than a pack of cigarettes.... but most people attribute cancer to cigarettes...because most people dont smoke 30 joints a day.

you can tell me otherwise... but I honestly dont want to listen to someone that wishes cancer on others....karma is a bitch.... it must be furious at you.
in case you didnt know... marajuana doesn't make you hallucinate, unless there is pcp in it.....

i'm sorry... i didn't know that you got your inforation directly from bob marley, or his doctors.....you seem very confident that you are a know it all.

and you should pay attention before you try to insult someone.... lol... I said I used to smoke. I got sick ... so I stopped. maybe once or twice a month now... but it's good for you.
what biography? close friends.... hah! how do you know that?... and how do you get such a huge power trip over eight words??? you really need to go to a therapist to see why you enjoy controlling, and belittling people that cant see you.
I smoked weed regularly from the time I was about 17 until nearly a year ago (I'm 28 now), and while I think that the people who preach about the dangers of marijuana are greatly exaggerating or in some cases flat out lying, I also believe that the people who say it's harmless are kidding theirselves. I'd suggest you consider not smoking weed, especially while you're body and mind are still developing.
i have also smoked every day for the last 15 years and other than cost and a moaning girlfriend all is good in the hood bruv
but i warn you now smoking is scientifically proven to make your soldier shrink approximataly an inch
I'm sure that science has also scientifically proven the contrary. Really, the reason half the articles say it's bad, and half say it's the greatest shit on earth is because it's all propaganda. Half of it's coming from the feds, and the other half from the stoners. Unbiased information is hard to get, so err on the side of caution and figure somewhere in between the two sources.
