Is weed bad?

I like it. Should I stop?

Its not good for you, thhose that answer and say it is are probably weed smokers so they are biased... I have smoked it in the past. Led me on to other drugs. Ruined my life. Weed is a mind altering substance, plus it affects your lungs. The only person who can stop you smoking it is yourself. Try,your life is so much more valuable than living in a state of dopeyness.

No doubt someone will kick me for saying all of that, but walk a mile in my shoes and then tell me I'm wrong.

DUHHH

Studies have found that if you smoke pot excessively, the
amount of deposit on your lungs is double or triple that of cigarettes.

Have you ever listened to a smoker's cough? Ok, now listen to a pot smoker's cough. There is no difference, just as bad.

Dear bublondee,

Marijuana smokers are prey to chest colds, bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma. Persistent use will damage lungs and airways and raise the risk of cancer. There is just as much exposure to cancer-causing chemicals from smoking one marijuana joint as smoking five tobacco cigarettes. And there is evidence that marijuana may limit the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease.

Marijuana also affects hormones. Regular use can delay the onset of puberty in young men and reduce sperm production. For women, regular use may disrupt normal monthly menstrual cycles and inhibit ovulation. When pregnant women use marijuana, they run the risk of having smaller babies with lower birth weights, who are more likely than other babies to develop health problems. Some studies have also found indications of developmental delays in children exposed to marijuana before birth.
Sue...good luck

Consider:

Risk-taking behavior and injury are especially common during adolescence and young adulthood. Drug use contributes to injuries among adolescents and young adults because it has negative effects on perception, judgment, and reaction time. A young person under the influence of drugs also has less respect for the welfare of self and others.

yes you should stop its bad for u!

I personally think it should be legalized, but in answer to your question- as long as you can do it without it interfering with your life, I dont see why not. The only problem is that it's pretty much impossible to start smoking without becoming saturated in the alternati lifestyle. My opinion is to keep the pot-head mentality but try not to smoke every day.

I can't attest to the status of marijuana and medical benefits--I understand that current studies are being done to determine benefits and risk-factors. Ultimately, those studies are very limited, to people with certain illness. The drug is illegal--and for a reason. I can't argue whether or not it should be, but history and statistics show as to the results of short-term and long-term uses of the drugs. -S

its been my experience that you can only stop if you actually WANT to stop. and it doesnt sound like you want to. so dont. but dont let it interfere with youre personal life. its non addictive so you can really stop any time you want. but youhave to want to first. and who really wants to? not me.

I smoke weed too,
theres NO shame in it. Its mostly your life & your chose to stop.

I smoke every weekend at the local skatepark with soem friends.
Me personally uhm I dont really care if its bad or not. & btw I dont do it to be cool either. haha I've been doing it for 4 years now.

yes!!! you could seriously hurt yourself with that!!! you really need to stop immedeiately!

Makes me think about the tv commercial where the younger brother says 'my older brother never does anything wrong - but that's the problem, 'he's never done anything' - he goes down to the basement where you see his older brother laid back on a couch with the room full of smoke from weed - 'Here's your wallet - (obviously out of it) the older brother says 'Huhhh' ??

You shouldnt put smoke in your lungs period, Its bad for you.
Marijuana is not bad for you if you bake it, or use the oils
but if you have to smoke it get a vaporizor. that takes out a majority of the bad stuff and its vapor not smoke. waaay better on your lungs

do what ever makes you happy your going to die anyway why not enjoy life while your can but you really should use a vaporizer and if you cant get one use a bong

I don't know the only drug I took was coke I got it from my older friend
and yeahhh you can die

I've seen people's faces that have been smoking it a lot for
a really long time and its absolutly discusting, the long
term effects arent worth it, stop while you can.

Listen. DO NOT smoke anything. Your just ruining your life. I have also read another one of your questions about you cutting yourself. You just keep hurting your body for fun and it is not fun. Your life is going to be over soon and how old are you? 14? Well.. only living for 14 years is not enough time. Do you want kids? If you do have kids do you want them to have about 10 years knocked off their life for having second-hand smoke? And what kind of example are you setting for your younger brothers/sisters (if you have any) or younger cousins? If they see you doing that then they are going to want to. Smoking weed is HORRIBLE!! Same with cutting yourself. I don't know why you would want to do that to your body so please stop before its to late!

Yes, you should stop. But I heard it's really hard to.

Yes, you should stop. But I heard it's really hard to.
