For most people it's pretty alright, all things considered.

For me it's a deathwish!

It heavily impairs your ability to think and reason.

That should be enough reason for people not to put things into their system.

This. It has a lot of the same negative non-cancer effects of cigarettes.

Allergic?

Chronic smoking is going to do some damage, but that's kind of a given. Otherwise the most "dangerous" part of weed is how well you are at controlling mental addictions. There's nothing about it that makes your body need it but some people get easily attached to the feeling it gives you.

Other than it being illegal (and accordingly dangerous), there's the simple fact that excessive smoking neuters your ambition a lot of the time. It's also pricey, and for many people (myself included) feels pretty bad. Alcohol is where it's at.

Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons.

I love having fun. I just don't want to screw with my brain to do so. I have plenty enough fun without doing that.

The idea of intentionally putting something into my system that impairs my mind is horrifying to me.

I don't know why everyone pictures me as a recreational drug user.

Lots of things that are natural can still be bad for you.

That said, outside of its heat/smoky contents in your lungs, there's not much reason for it to be bad.

Definition of drug,

Noun:
A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body, in particular.

You could say it's not a synthetic drug or whathaveyou, but it's a drug.

As for the cancer thing, I hope we can find more ways to fight cancer. People who smoke weed regularly still get cancer and need chemo like everybody else, so this "shrinking tumors in early stages" thing mentioned doesn't seem to be a regular thing for most people. I wish it was.

Anyways, hey it's decriminalized here in my state (MA).

I remember thinking this in high school, man was I uptight back then.


Have you ever actually been drunk? Try it with some friends sometime, it's not like getting drunk one time will permanently damage you or something.


I've only ever gotten high twice and only get drunk like half a dozen to a dozen times a year, but not as horrifying as you think.

This exactly.

It's actually really fun to do with close friends every now and then. You don't even have to get drunk - have a couple drinks and loosen up, make everything funnier and more entertaining, make yourself more bold, etc etc. And you can still remember it in the morning :D

Yes, of course. Let everyone drink and smoke pot 24/7. Oopsie, that nuclear weapon seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh well, just trillions of dollars and billions lives lost. Nothing wrong!

Actually, the definition of a drug is that it has to be synthetic. Anything natural is classified as a poison or a venom. So at worst, weed is a poison.

I just posted the top definition from google/mirriam webster. So, while I'm sure it's defined different ways, you can't really say the definition I said isn't valid, and marijuana is indeed a drug. Not that that's a bad thing.

Oh I just like being med-nerd whenever possible, don't you mind me one bit =p

An English dictionary and a medical dictionary are often contradictory, believe it or not. Drug/poison/venom all being weird is one example, but the example anyone would know is how medicine sticks an O in between words to connect them. Enterogastroduedenoscopy, blah blah blah.


I know the difference between poisonous and venomous in animals, but what's the medical difference between poison and venom? Just the source or something more complex?

I want to say venom is comprised more of bacterial factors and poison is chemical factors but I don't know D:

It's probably less harmful than either alcohol or cigarettes. At least, it should be in the same category as those drugs are, legally.
