Marijauna

Is Marijauna bad for your heath?

you are going to get many different responces from this and the simple answer is yes. but there are reasons why marijuana is made available by prescription in many states.

I feel marijuana is bad for your health for a few reasons. The first and foremost is the potential of being dependent and addicted to it. Then eventually going from marijuana to worse drugs like opiates, cocaine, mushrooms, lsd, pcp, meth, or inhalents etc...I smoked weed for 3 years. Then I started to get bored with it. Most stoners do. It made me very lathargic and lazy. I had no social skills which led to some depression, so there is some mental health issues right there. I chose to move on to other drugs because in the beginning pot gave me that fulfillment inside. There fore I was seeking that through mushrooms, ecstasy, alcohol, cocaine, and worst of all, prescription pain pills like norco. I am now addicted to norco (vicodin) and having a hell of a time kicking the addiction. If i had never took my first smoke of weed I don't know where I would be. Probably in a completely different state of life. And most likely, not battling my addiction to pills.

As for a physical health issues, yes it is bad. Any smoke you pull into your body is bad. It can make you very lazy and apethetic, meaning going out and taking on the world isn't a priority. All ambition is gone. If one chose to abuse marijuana and marijuana alone I feel the biggest consequence coming from that would be lack of motivation and need to explore the world. That is where I was stuck.

god planted marijuana in the earth, and man made all of those other drugs.

if you don't use it as a gateway drug, you are fine.

i never believed the gateway part about marijuana until it had already happened and i was in so far that i got the point i'm at today....started with marijuana...went to marijuana and xanex...went from marijuana and xanex to marijuana, xanex, musle relaxers, and pain pills....i couldn't smoke before work so i would take a xanex and get some of the same results...it spiralled from there...if you can just smoke and not do anything else...i personally don't think its a problem....i thought marijuana was proven not to be addictive?

i can believe the gateway theory.. but being someone who started with pills... and then smoked marijuana,,, marijuana  high is nothing compared to my pills. pot makes me sleepy.. depressed... whereas .. percocets.. vicodin.. pills get me reved up and going... i have smoked pot on and off for a few years. my husband is an avid smoker.. so i tried to use pot to wean myslef off pills.. And it worked only i slept all the time. and i have 7 kids so i gave it up.. wasnt worth it.. and the high i got off the pot was nothing compared to the buzz i get when i pop several vicodin.just my opinon.
