If you do it all the time and let it control your life, then weed becomes something bad. If you use it moderately and do not let it affect your responsibilities then, it is harmless.

The people who say its a gateway drug were correct though. Almost all people I know who use weed have graduated to at least trying harsher drugs. The most I've done is tryed coke once. Ill never stray from weed again

You sure about that? When the TV companies and Manga creator don't make enough money because of free streaming don't blame anyone else when the chapters stop coming out.

A. From everything that I have read and know about marijuana, and from the individuals I have worked with who have used it, it seems as though it has the potential to do real psychological harm, not just physical harm (smoking can lead to lung cancer). In the remainder of my answer, I wish to focus on the psychological harms of marijuana use.

MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT IT'S OK BU I'M HERE TO SAY ITS NOT,THIS IS IN RESPONSE OF THAT WEED THREAD FROM 2 WEEKS AGO

Spoiler

Surrounding marijuana, a common myth exists. It is frequently thought that marijuana is “not that bad” and it is not as “hardcore” as other drugs therefore it is safer. The fact is that marijuana is classified as a hallucinogenic drug. Hallucinogenic drugs (acid is also a hallucinogenic drug, among others), or drugs of any kind for that matter, have not been ruled out as a cause of psychiatric and severe mental disorders. A recent Associated Press story out of England reports that cannabis has been linked with schizophrenia and cannabis-related psychiatric problems and hospitalizations have increased 85 percent from 1996 to 2006. I have worked with people who have used marijuana, and other related hallucinogenic drugs, too believing that it was an innocent drug, and they have permanently damaged themselves psychologically—meaning they never “came back” to themselves. The drugs actually seemed to cause a psychotic episode from which they have never recovered.

Another problem with using illegal drugs, aside from being illegal, (something you noted in your e-mail) is that when you buy marijuana, you can never be certain where the drugs came from. Who grew it? What did they add to the drugs? What chemicals were sprayed on the drugs and where those chemicals safe for human consumption or were they toxic and have the potential to cause physical harm? Was the marijuana laced or sprinkled with some other drug? You could buy a bad bag of weed and smoke drugs that you never intended to smoke.

There is a long list of other negative consequences of marijuana use that are not mentioned here. The bottom line is that using drugs is always a sign of a psychologically unhealthy individual. You may tell yourself that the drug is harmless but as I have pointed out, the truth is that it is a dangerous drug to use. It is like playing with fire. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough not to get “burned” but is that a chance you really want to take? I hope that you will re-evaluate your use of marijuana and find an activity that is a better use of your time and brain cells. Lastly, I also wanted to thank you for writing so that I had a chance to inform you and others about the under reported dangers of marijuana use.

Spoiler

Marijuana increases heart rate by about 50%. Frequent use can lead to the possibility of damage to the heart such as heart murmurs, heart attack, and stroke. People with high blood pressure or other heart problems are obviously at higher risk than a healthy person.

Marijuana also causes irritation to the lungs. The fact that inhaled marijuana smoke is held in the lungs for as long as possible makes it even more irritating to lungs than tobacco smoke. See the following link to read more about marijuana and the lungs.

Spoiler

Remember the info stated above regarding marijuana not being water soluble? Well, marijuana is stored in body fat. The most potent areas of body fat that it is stored in are in the brain and reproductive organs (ovaries and testicles). Because of this, marijuana also has an effect on hormone levels. This can lead to problems with reproduction for both men and woman (

). There is also speculation that use of marijuana during adolescence is more dangerous than use in adulthood due to the hormonal changes that are naturally occ
uring during this time. In December 2010, there was research published indicating that marijuana is linked to testicular cancer in men. See the following link to read more.
One widely recognized effect of marijuana is "the munchies." This occurs due to the cannabinoids in the brain's hypothalumus triggering a false hunger response. People who smoke marijuana tend to eat junk food when they have the munchies, and are therefore, at risk for health problems related to unhealthy eating habits such as obesity and high cholesterol.

Overall, there is a lot of speculation about the possible effects of marijuana on the body. There is more to learn about this topic. The person choosing to use the drug needs to be informed of the possible effects of use and then make a decision about the risk he or she is willing to take.

dude no one has ever die from weed, name me one person that yyou know that have die of mj. if you mix it with another drug then of course you might die. its the same as mixing water and bleach together its not the water thats going to kill u. plus weed is good because our Heavenly Father told us it was good, read the bible its says everything i made was good. weed comes from the earth so its good you my friend you need to rethink everything about weed. how many people you know wants to kill or rob someone on a weed high, weed just makes sleepy, hungry,and laughing. now weed can make u sad if you're sad already, what ever mood you're in it just get enhance , so if you're thinking about killing yourself don't smoke weed u might just do it,if you are super happy before smoking weed then you will be really happy its just that simply, now my friend you know the truth about mj

You have a narrow minded dogmatic view of weed and no i dont take drugs but you should not misjudge 1 drug for all. ALSO VANDELL IS SOME WHAT RIGHT ANDD INCORRECT IN SOME WAY BUT READ HIS POST

 

[AP2k]

streaming anime doesnt effect your health, does it? i dont think so.

That wasnt directed at that argument, it was directed at people who use the "pot is illegal" argument. And the only way ive ever heard of pot affecting your health is positive.

 

[Devils advocate]

*Smoke's weed* still doesn't make since

 

[Traffy]

We already argued about this and not only did I prove all of your copy and paste arguments wrong but pretty much everyone else has on this thread as well.

 

[Dantee]

**** you man.

[That one dude]

You guys do realize Marijuana is called 420 due to that fact that its made up 420 different chemicals, or more specifically, poisons.

That being said, lets say you have 2 smokers.
Smoker A -
Smoker B - xd

If Smoker A, smokes cigarerrtes, then is intake from one puff from it is a small amount of smoke, because if Smoker A inhales too much, he starts choking and blows it out.

However, if Smoker B, who smokes a joint, ( a potheads fav. ) then Smoker B inhales the ENTIRE hit, which is easier to inhale since it does not contain, tar, nicotine, etc.. but however, since the intake of smoke is much greater, it if by far worse to smoke, since it is nothing but smoke and toxins.

Whichever way you look at his topic, both are bad and we know it, we are just too busy to realize the truth of smoking, our human bodies were not designed to inhale smoke, EVER. But just like anything else, sure do it, its your choice, but if you do it too much, however you look at it, its still abuse if its misused, and if you love smoking Marijuana, then by all means do it, but dont smoke... VAPORIZE my friends.


P.S... This is my First day on NarutoBase.. and let me say, you people, fellow NarutoBase viewers and the threads you post are awesome!

ohh ok.

but back to the pot effecting your health, its been proven by scientist that it causes bad side effects. but its debatable since theres been reports of it being positive like you said, imo its bad just saying.

....weed is called 420 because a bunch of guys used to smoke it at 420 everyday and thats what they called it to not get caught, and while the whole story behind that is probably an urban legend, its not called 420 because of any chemicals. Mostly because weed is a natural plant....


Also: please name me a toxin in weed?

 

[AP2k]

And thats your opinion. To each his own. Pot can be good or bad depending on how its used, and who its used by.

Chose a random toxin you listed, read the toxicity Part of that toxin on wikipedia, the VERY first thing it said was that it has NEVER caused a fatality. Tried another toxin, same result, trued another, same result. Dont talk to me about ignorance, you just tried to say that weed is called 420 because of chemicals. You clearly have little experiance with pot itself and are basing your argument off of copy and paste.

I dont ever think I said it caused a Fatality... but take some knowledge, EVERTHING in the world is made by chemicals..

 

[AP2k]

-______- yes i know that, i passed fourth grade science. Well if it doesnt cause a fatality it must do something bad! Oh wait, it doesnt? You've just labeled things as "toxins". The only reason you stated that pot is made if chemicals is as a scare tactic. "oh, that has chemicals, it must be bad!" since EVERYTHING is made if chemicals, weed being made if chemicals makes no difference, and you only said it to scare people like all that trans fat BS. Now please, what "article" are you going to copy and paste now?
