is marihuana really helping your health?

[Alupihan]

as a prescription drug, yes, probably

as a smoking hobby, not really. Whoever said smoking is good for the health anyway?

makes you feel good though

[Shragei]

Ooh time for an actual fact about smoking. Any organic chemical that is burnt will be carcinogenic. Any plant that is burnt will produce tar.

PS
Tar as in tar pits is actually asphalt. Plant tar is more like pitch.

you be the judge

[KoshKoo]

anything that affects your perception then your judgment can't be good in my opinion.

Of course there's extenuating circumstances, but that's a case by case matter, not to be considered good as a whole, morphine is good for the chronically ill, but could you say the same for a healthy person? No.

So if that is the case, it cannot be healthy to smoke it. Burning anything into your lungs cannot be healthy. That's a fact since our lungs aren't made for that.

Reguardless it still makes u act stupid, i mean being stupid sometimes is ok when its funny, but i know too many ppl who say thay cant be normal without it any thoughts on that?

Well if they are so week willed that they are adicted to ganja all I can say is ''I feel really sorry for u people''

There's a negative with every positive you put into your body.
That should be a given, when using, or Eating anything - from caffeine to opiates, cherrys to corn chips.. Problem is that most people aren't grasping the concept of balance and it's importance in day to day routine.
We tend to stay, transfixed, with one thing so long as the pleasurability is still there. A case of shortsightedness.

limited Marijuanna use is good neuro-sematic hygiene.
Just as getting smashed occasinally is gut tension relief.

i use ganja for health porposes..... my cousin is a doctor and he gives me few leaves to boil and drink it as a tea.... it always work on stomach ache...

Arrrr....

If ye be wanting to smoke marijuana, don't do it excessively. It can slow down yer thinking process. I had a mate back during me elementary year who smoke weed alot. Slow witted dude, can't think of simple math question.

While in Aceh, they use chop of ganja/marijuana seasoning to spice up food. It does have the effect of raising appetite. Not to mention western world already has 'space' cake/brownies and marijuana flavored lollypop (it be real as red light district in Amsterdam!).

Yer mate probably smoking in small dose everyday. Too much and yer pretty much stoned, just the same as drinking too much alcohol. Never do that.

Just my 2 cents as a smoker.......

First off, when I say smoker, I smoke cigarettes (which I wish to quit someday) and I smoke weed almost daily (depending on availability). Yeah I know, I don't even want to think about what my lungs look like.

Secondly, I forget what the EXACT correlation is, but the last time I read up on it, one regular sized joint is equal to almost 4 times the carcinogens (that means all the chemicals that can and have been known to be cancer-causing), ---4 times the carcinogens of a single cigarette. From that standpoint, everyone knows how bad cigs are to begin with, so smoking weed certainly is not an improvement.

Now, I must interject here and say that some people have their own reasons for "using", whatever it may be. I would never tell a kid to do any kind of drugs, and if you were wanting to try it, I would strongly suggest you wait until after you are done with schooling. But there are a great many people who use marijuana to "self medicate" the same way that almost everyone else you run into does with alcohol, and they will always use the fact that it's "legal" to argue with you.

The fact remains that if you are on the road with a drunk, you have a high risk of dying from his or her stupid ass driving. Your biggest risk being on the road with or behind a stoner is having to wait for him to figure out that the stop sign is not going to turn green and he can go.

I had to throw one of my fav stoner jokes in there, but my point is that marijuana has been demonized to an excessive amount and it drives me insane when alcohol can be legal and weed cannot....but I digress....

As said earlier, ANYTHING in excess can turn into a bad thing. The short answer is that "Blah blah blah you shouldn't use drugs, yadda yadda yadda". The middle answer would be that I would ABSOLUTELY support someone to smoke weed instead of them drinking, if they are going to "use" something whether you approve or not.

Anyway, let this letter also serve as to the effects of being high which I am...normally this probably would have been a 3 or 4 sentance answer....lol
Sorry.
