I know a lot of people who smoke. There are more that do than you can imagine.  Although I don't, I equate its use with achohol, and should be used with similar care.\n\nit can alter your judgement, slow your reflexes, and cause problems for others , that's for sure.  Get behind the wheel after getting high, and you are a risk to those around you.  \n\nAs for dying from smoking pot..  uh I suppose there are some who have, especially if they were allergic to THC, and got large quantities in their blood stream.  Not sure though, but it seems likely, someone has died.\n\nEating pot is a likely way to really make one uncomfortable for long periods, and can cause mind altering experiences, that could lead to someone doing something 'stupid' maybe?  ANYONE???\n\nDoubt it causes any more cancer than cigarettes, and although it is not a Cure for cancer, there is anectdotal evidence that it can help to quell certain symptoms thereof.  The smoke has cancer causing agents, this has been proven, but people (no one I know) don't smoke nearly enough comparative to cigarettes, to make it a pure lung cancer threat albeit any inhalaion of smoke is bad for you.

i love smoking :) ive been doing it for 10 years.  i smoke at least 5 times a day, i work full time and go to school full time for my masters degree.  i believe that pot can make you unmotivated, but if you can't control yourself enough to function on a normal basis then you should not be smoking. just my thoughts :)

If it was just true marijuana by itself maybe it wouldn't be as bad as alcohol.  But now it's mixed with all the other stuff and then it's just a introduction to the true brain rot that's out there.  If people want to be human vegetables for the rest of their life take dope.  If you want to be healthy mentally and physically don't do drugs, period.  Good question.

I'll go out on a limb and say that its influence is how it acts as a gateway drug to other substances. Yes, it would be nice to sugar-coat my answer by saying pot's influence lays with the hippy revolution of the 60's, their music, and art in general, but that wouldn't do enough justice to the people who have suffered at the hands of this incredibly toxic and destructive drug. So, that's my answer. Marijuana can lead to further drug abuse and thus it's influencing the US culture by creating more and more junkies day in and day out. This is happening all over the world by the way. I've based my answer on America however to keep this on topic. Have a nice day.

Not only do I NOT think it's bad.  I think it's great.  I have been a heavy pot smoker since I was 12.  I graduated in the top of my class in high school, I graduated college at a university, I am 22, work for myself, and make almost $100K/year totally legal, and I'm working on my MBA.  My mom and aunts and uncles have smoked since they were in high school and all have very good jobs, families, and lives.  All my friends in college and right out of college have been smoking with me forever and are all doing great.  It is so much safer and healthier than alcohol.  Someone tell me what is bad about marijuana.  They have even found out recently that the THC actually fights off the cancer causing chemicals in marijuana, so it actually offsets itself as far as cancer goes.  Wow.  And people actually still live so far in the past and think weed is bad.  Come on now, crack is bad, not weed.

god made pot..... man made cigs and alcohol.... make your decision...\n\n\nwhat the other person said is true.. brain cells are reduced.. you wont be able to pass a drug test and get a decent job, and if you keep on.. your chance at ever having kids will be very slim.\nhowver on the other side of that.. it is a natural herb, doctors perscribe it to cancer patients for the pain... and if a dr perscribes it.. it cant be all bad.. right?

Yes, it kills brain cells and ultimately inhibits you from thinking clearly and at your sharpest, thus ruining your life forever. Not only that but it makes you lethargic (tired) and will corrupt your views on life. DO NOT DO MARIJUANA OR ANY OTHER DRUG! Please do not listen these other Teenage Pot-heads, as they will say anything to justify THEM smokeing it. IT IS BAD FOR YOU! It's not Government Propaganda to stop kids from smokeing Marijuana and useing it ANY TIME is bad. There are proven studies that have shown that Marijuana is unhealthy and does, infact, corrupt the human mind (To say the least.)

i think it was george carlin who said "when you smoke enough dope it starts to suggest its own disuse". \n\ntheres a list of different things out there, but you're mostly going to get answers from pot heads who wont admit that smoking can become harmful to your health, and super stuck up types, who are going to tell you its just as bad as heroin or something. \n\nit does cause impaired judgement, and memory loss (not necessarily loss, but cloudiness and forgetfulness).\n\ni dont smoke/drink/drug at all, and i never have. its a personal decision because i know that its in my genes to become a train wreck if i do. theres a lot of ppl in my family that have gone through all kinds of stuff, and even a few ppl that have had some big problems just caused by pot.

Pot has a real effect on pain.  While it is not a pain killer it makes the pain more 'manageable' and you can deal with it.  It also has an effect in reducing nausea caused by some treatments.  The governments assertion that pot is very addictive falls flat when you consider some of those with chronic pain take Demerol, morphine, Oxycontin, etc. on a regular basis and those are some of the most addictive substances on the planet.  How can something that helps be worse than those?

Studies have shown that one "average" sized joint packs the same amount of toxins as an entire pack of cigarettes.  You can actually get lung disease faster (much faster) by smoking weed than by smoking cigarettes.\n\nWeed does actually cause lung cancer, asthma and emphysema as well as COPD.\n\nFor a rush, just stop smoking for a few days then do it again.  Whew!\n\nDo people honestly think pot is grown without the use of chemicals and pesticides???  DUH!  Unless you're paying absolute TOP DOLLAR, you're getting chemicals.  And if you are paying top dollar, all that resin is going in your lungs...or stomach.

Pot won't directly affect your diabetes, but many people get the "munchies" while on pot and consume large amounts of junk food and candy.  So you will have to watch out for that and avoid the urge to binge on food.
