Weed isn't healthy but it's exponentially better than cigarettes so I don't have any problems with it.
I also don't think that in small quantities it kills braincells, it prohibits your body producing more of them. It does help people with sleeping disorders and anxiety I've heard.
I have heard about the last part too, that's why I am saying, If you're an adult, do whatever the fuck you want. This is your life. But like I said, when you're underage it can damage you, and if you smoke too much it can damage you aswell. It's certainly not "healthy" as some people say.
I'd rather still have my kids (I don't have kids) smoke weed than get hooked on meth, cocaine, heroine, ludes etc. .
That's not what i said though, did I? Of course it's more harmless than cocaine, heroin and such. Still there's evidence that it damages kids/teenagers. So If i had a choice I would think differently. I'd rather have my kids smoking nothing, drinking nothing, injecting nothing until they're adults, after that I have no control over them.
Agreed, I feel like it consumes some people so much they have to justify the use a healthy because they've taken it past recreational and rely on it. One of my closest mates recently quit cigs but now he smokes weed almost everyday and it genuinely changes people.
Yeah, I feel like that's the case too. That's why I never judge anyone or have a different opinion on anyone that smokes weed.
first of did you (Shark) seriously compare weed to cocaine
Also for weed to damage you, you have to smoke alooot.
A couple of quotes from doctors and researchers
The findings revealed that people who were chronic users of marijuana, which are those that had a physical dependence to the drug, before the age of 18 had a drop in IQ of 8 points by the age of 38.
the people who were shown to have a decline in IQ are significantly small – 38 out of 1000, or 3.8 percent. Second, these individuals were using significantly more marijuana (four days per week) than the average marijuana user.
Very rarely does it hurt your brain
While brain cancer is relatively rare, the thought alone is terrifying to many people. Luckily for people who consume cannabis, research from a team of Spanish scientists has shown that THC may actually shrink brain tumors.
Though marijuana is not often associated with increasing memory in consumers, research published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B has shown that cannabinoids contained within marijuana can actually help the brain restore damaged cells, which can mitigate the effects of conditions such as Huntington's disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
