1.) It increases defense against cancer cells.

2.) It gives you positive feelings.

3.) Typically, It can't hurt you unless you've taken it for about 20 years.

Why is it banned? Because the media, back during the time it was introduced, had said if a black man took this then he will automatically be compelled to rape white women and if a mexican took it then he would start thinking he was a hitman and shoot everybody he didn't like among other things.

Also, be aware that Marijuana became known during the time of Prohibition of Alcohol.

I don't think teenagers should do it......it makes think a lot slower (from what I've seen).

From constant use (like many things) it gets to a point where people can't go without it, and it usually accompanies drinking. Obviously, drugs cause progression, so once one high fades, people move on to another, more powerful one.

I wouldn't try it, but you get someone completely opposite from me who will tell you its the best thing since sliced bread.........

Yes it does.

The only people who say it doesn't have any negative affects are people who smoke it and want it to be legalized.

AFAIK, repeated usage leads to less brain activity. I'll have to find the study I saw when I was a medical transport officer...

Isn't that only if you smoke it? I have heard that it only causes some minor liver problems if eaten.

What's the difference? Smoking, eating... it effects your body the same way. The only difference is you need to eat a LOT more to get it to work. If your getting the same level of high your suffering the same amount of negative effects. Really, I think it's less the physical health risks to worry about then the mental health risks. It seems to show correlations both ways. I had some friends who were on top of the world, everyone likes them... now a days... they're paranoid, jittery never calm unless they're high, not comfortable around anybody... they didn't take it well. Also if you do plan to use Marijuana MAKE SURE the bag is airtight. Otherwise... well it just isn't good. If it gets the least bit moldy it could be really dangerous.

Besides how it's absorbed into the body, the main difference is fire. Burning will create a whole host of nasty chemicals that won't exist in dried leaves.

As I understand it, marijuana produces a nastier smoke than tobacco, but because of how often the two substances tend to be used, smoking tobacco is the deadlier habit.

Also, a small set of people who use THC suffer a nasty side effect of induced psychosis. This is normally offset by another substance in cannabis called cannabidiol which has anti-psychotic properties, but as plants are bred for higher and higher THC content, the plants also produce less and less cannabidiol. This is where legalization would be really helpful, as government limits on THC content in marijuana could maintain the balance of these two substances and protect users from this dangerous side effect.

I was talking about the mental effects.  Not the physical ones.

There are more mental effects then just psychosis.

Someone clearly hasn't brushed-up on the medical benefits Marijuana could help with if the government loosens its rather extreme regulation of it.

I don't smoke it yet I want it legalised.
