Cannabis and adverse health effects

[MikeyG]

• Road crashes if a person drives while intoxicated

As with alcohol or other substances that alter your mind, like prescription drugs or anything else.

• Cannabis dependence syndrome (in around one in ten users)

One in ten, who obviously have an addictive personality, with that statistic you can't really say anything about addiction .. as anyone who has tried anything would tell you it is the easiest substance to quit.

• Chronic bronchitis and impaired respiratory function in regular smokers

Never did anyone say inhaling smoke was good for your lungs.

• Impaired educational attainment in adolescents who are regular users

LOL not me personally, but some people focus better and do their work more when they blaze. I get lit for every class and I have a c+ / b average ... and yes I'm in normal classes and in the grade I should be in.


Not gunna say it's all fine and dandy but definetly the LEAST by far harmful out of any drugs/substances.

At least you now recognise its negative effects.

I blaze to much not to.

all the upper classmen in my school blaze, even the one with the highest GPA blazes. One hasn't done it in 3 months and said its easy to start and stop whenever u want to, its not like tobacco where u constantly need it.

You guys make this stuff sound like it's nothing to be worried about. Wait until one of your family members does it and hes some schitzo fcker because of it. My brother in law does this stuff heavy.

He is like way out there. Completely lost in his own world. He came over to my house the other day and was talking about how the popes in the old days took shrooms. And that Juan Diego was on shrooms when he saw the virgin mary "but they won't tell you that". Im like, "Who! Who wont tell me that?" And he just replies "Them".

He's so lost in it. And he swears aliens exist, he looks up youtube videos as proof. And then I show him the forums of the video as it being a hoax and he still doesn't think its a hoax. He's got my sister brainwashed with this shit. I swear, I think he's got mental issues now because of it. When I first met him he was nothing like this.

Please, don't smoke it. You will be slow to think, react, remember and everything else. You will become an idiot. I don't care what you say about grades, shit on paper means nothing. It's how you will interact in the real world that matters. Book smart means nothing when you're some slow ass idiot. Sorry for the Rant/curses, my brother in law just really gets on my nerves.

Good on you for sharing that side of what you've seen Havoc.

LOL and I can guarentee he just liked other drugs. I've accepted the fact that it can be a gateway drug now, cause it opens you up to the concept of gettin high .. then your like eh that high wasn't bad lets try some crack! lmao. All depends on the person, it's not going to turn u into some fuckin nut low life, usually nut low lifes just might smoke pot. I've had 100s of drug related, violence related experiences, non caused by pot.

If you want to be succesful and smart, marijuana is not going to cause you to lose that want, or the ability to be so. And yeah I know more then a few parents/adults who have a good life, good jobs ( some very rich ) and kids, and arn't stupid. So speak for your uncle, not all stoners.
