It’s proven to give you Schizophrenia, isn’t it?
Also, the only bad trip I’ve ever had is when I smoked it with tobacco - which just gives me a huge headache and made me throw up in the end because I felt so nauseous.
I’ve found it can kill my motivation a week or so after I smoke.

Quote: weed actually doesn’t cause cancer, and will kill brain cells with heavy use... i’ve done SO much research on it
Arguable about the cancer thing, marijuana smoke certainly contains carcinogens so its possible, if anybody ever has gotten cancer solely from marijuana is arguable. I would like to see an article or study showing that weed can kill brain cells because I petty sure it can’t...

It doesn’t "kill brain cells"
If you plan on going around advocating it’s use I suggest you first figure out why it make’s you high.

Quote: It might make you lazy, but if your smart, you will still lead a successful life, I have been smoking since 4/20/07 about 2-5 times a week (only on weekends) and take all honors/ AP classes. I have been able to stay above a 3.5 unweighted and above (at least probably more than) a 4.1 weighted.
I smoke quite a lot and can stop at any time, I have stopped for up to a month at a time for no reason, (I just felt like it) and experienced no withdrawl symptoms.
Don’t say its bad just cuz it’s illegal, (legality is a horrible way to measure morality) it used to be illegal to free slaves, does that mean it was the wrong thing to do?
You dont smoke enough to notice the small side effects, you use it as a recreational thing. Once you start to smoke by yourself its different. I recently got caught and it made me think about it i have stopped for a week and i could only think about pot for 3 days but im stopping because of hockey. My memory is odd i always think of long times ago and future times and i forget about of small things. The people who advance with drugs i believe they do because they arent satisfied or satisfied enough with marijuana.

I have been smoking since my freshman year in highschool. So approximately 5 years. I know for a fact that it kills brain cells, especially when you get the stanky dank, but like you said, so do many other activities. Sneezing, pooping, a bump to the head ofcourse, drinking, and waking up in the morning (or so I have heard), all cause you to loose brain cells, not to mention hundreds of other activities. In California it is legal for medicinal purposes, but in some parts it’s just straight legal all together. Even the police indulge themselves with pot. You’re right, our government likes to brainwash people in to believing many drugs with kill you, or make you insane, or rabble rabble rabble.. yackity shmakity, but.. Marijuana is probably the safest drug out there, even more so than most perscribed drugs. Can you believe that the government actually told people that cocaine was no more addictive than vanilla ice cream in the early 80’s? What a load of shit. And we’ve all seen the Marijuana propaganda films..
Many people are very ignorant to the effects of drugs, but I have tried many. If I were you, I’d stick to the natural shit. None of that man made bullshit..
Except for acid.

Quote: The reason why you ask this is because you probably heard or read somewhere that marijuana damages brain cells, or makes you stupid. These claims are untrue.
The first one -- marijuana kills brain cells -- is based on research done during the second Reefer Madness Movement. A study attempted to show that marijuana smoking damaged brain structures in monkeys. However, the study was poorly performed and it was severely criticized by a medical review board. Studies done afterwards failed to show any brain damage, in fact a very recent study on Rhesus monkeys used technology so sensitive that scientists could actually see the effect of learning on brain cells, and it found no damage.
But this was Reefer Madness II, and the prohibitionists were looking around for anything they could find to keep the marijuana legalization movement in check, so this study was widely used in anti-marijuana propaganda. It was recanted later.
(To this day, the radical anti-drug groups, like P.R.I.D.E. and Dr. Gabriel Nahas, still use it -- In fact, America’s most popular drug education program, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, claims that marijuana ``can impair memory perception & judgement by destroying brain cells.’’ When police and teachers read this and believe it, our job gets really tough, since it takes a long time to explain to children how Ms. Jones and Officer Bob were wrong.)
The truth is, no study has ever demonstrated cellular damage, stupidity, mental impairment, or insanity brought on specifically by marijuana use -- even heavy marijuana use. This is not to say that it cannot be abused, however.
It alters your brain cells, doesn’t kill them.

Yea, because every dealer puts tar into weed.
Yet again, the government, anti-marijuana commercials, and people who don’t know two shits are pumping this stuff into your brain.
If you’re that much of a pussy because you’re afraid of the so called carcinogens then use a bong.
4 times than the regular cigarette... are you fucking smoking a joint the size of a 747 jet?

I choose not to smoke and am just stating a fact to prove someone wrong. I don’t not smoke because of the carcinogens but because my neighbor almost died from drugs and I made a conscious decision not to do them at the age of 12. Though 98% of my friends smoke weed I still eschew myself from drugs. (except alcohol)

Weed doesn’t kill brain cells, it stimulates the tissue surrounding the brain.

Weed is bad for you
but not near as bad as alcohol and cigarettes
Alcohol turns you aggressive
Weed turns you placid
Cigarettes are addictive
Weed has no physical or mental addictions whatsoever, unless you count the people who are bored of a life without cannabis
Yes, weed may have more tar in it than cigarettes. But nobody will smoke more pot than a smoker smokes tobacco
Did you know, if you smoked a spliff a day from when you were 14 to when you were 25, then stopped.
You’re lungs will heal completely in 5-10 years.
You’re lungs are the fastest healing part of your body.
They can handle pot
Hell, i’m sure they love it
The main reason weed is illegal is the plain and simple fact that if everybody was baked all day
Hardly anyone would want to go to work
society would crumble
the postman would say
"Fuck that"
The judge wouldn’t want to put anyone in prison
so by all means
get as doped as you like
just don’t let it integrate itself into the core of your life
weed is a beautiful thing..
and btw, that video was hilarious
