Blah, Blah, Blah. But you guys forgot to mention the most harmful risk of smoking marijuana, being arrested.

@transversed Some fo these things I know for sure to be a lie. Firstly the laughter only happens to some people. It has actually been proven to increase sperm drive. Also I have a very high sex drive so that's wrong too. Also an actual scientist who's against legalization proved it actually helps with breaking down aging white blood cells which helps prevent cancer.

@transversed Just because some website claims a bunch of things doesn't mean it's true, get you info from first hand sources like a true researcher.

@CJbass420 To add to your point; THC actually promotes brain-cell growth. It, itself does not cause regeneration of cells, but it stimulates parts of the brain that can cause brain-cell reproduction. Short-term memory loss in pot smokers is only a temporary condition. It takes about a week for THC to fully flush from your system if you are a heavy user. After that time, any side-effects of weed smoking are gone, and you're prolly smarter, due to brain cell growth.

1:34 "or as a harmful poison that induces madness." LOL!! I laughed so hard... you're kidding right? Good stuff.

@Hashjihadful

Obviously her information is wrong, for one she(probably) copy and pasted this from wikepedia. And secondly she Is probably uneducated like most people and therefore has beliefs which are not always true and not knowledge which is learned through experience.

[Hashjihadful]

@CJbass420 Same thing for me. Its weird, I started Smoking Pot, looked at my diet and realized it was shit, looked my exercise level and realized it was shit, and influenced me to be healthier! Not to mention the horrible things stress does to your body! There is scientific studies that show it increase your neuro-synaptic rate between certain cells, and these increase may counteract any negative effects to your immune system. OR lack of stress could do the same thing.

@transversed You also say it damages energy production and growth and development hormones and glands. The key word here is damages, it does not damage, it affects, and when THC is not being consumed revert back to the normal condition. On a further note every stimuli that creates serotonin and dopamine in your brain can be addictive. Starching your ass can be addictive, if you do it every day, right before breakfast, and it has a positive effect. Your info is misleading.

[Hashjihadful]

@transversed You say you researched this. Well I am a Bio-Psychology student who is possibly making my emphasis Psycho-Physiology and I can tell you plainly that Marijuana does not kill brain cells. That "fact" must of been taken from multiple studies that have been proven to be not based in Science. Effectively they pumped monkeys so full of smoke they couldn't breath. What happens with lack of O2? Dead brain cells.

@ConservativeRev because marinol has alot more negitive side affects than smoking. and you don't have to smoke weed. make it into brownies and eat it. no lung damage.

My friend, who is against using marijuana, got mad at me once while I was high and said " I'm not being a bitch, I just like to have control of my body". I told him that I could do anything he could do while I was high so we played trivia games, I kicked his ass and then ate Duritos. It was great.
