you need to chill out man, why does every conversation here have to turn into a shit throwing ring, you could have just said "i dont believe that weed does no damage" with out getting all pissy and acting like a 2 year old who just shit himself
even if you dont like cannabis you shouldint trash someone else who does not share that same point of view, you have the right to not like a harmless plant, but you donot have the right to tell us that are opinions are stupid and wrong
peace out Dm

Now I'm not saying marijuana is some evil drug but im just saying its retarded and ignorant to think that it's 100% safe. Go ahead and indulge, theres plenty of legal things that are bad for you, hell even gatorade when not drank while sweating is really horrible for you body.

I didn't trash it. Theres a difference between opinion and facts though, which I guess you misunderstood.

For me regular heavy use results in a great nights rest every night, very deep sleep. But I still know the hazy fatigue your talking about, I think that's just from the weed.

I agree with what epilectric said but it all depends on the personality of the smoker. I've been a daily smoker for 6 years now and I graduated high school with around a 3.0ish average, I had the highest paying job out of all my friends, drive the nicest car our of all my friends, and I'm currently going to college. Smoking weed hasn't really affected my motivation much.
But I do have friends that are lazy ass unmotivated stoners from all the pot they smoke. It all depends on the persons personality.
Worst things about weed: Can make you hazy/foggy headed can make you fatigued and tired can make you lazy and unmotivated and long term daily heavy use can effect your physical appearance, bags under your eyes, looking all tired and burnt out etc...

I don't believe that weed causes any memory loss...well, actually, weed does. However, it works with cannabinoid receptors in your brain which actually block out bad or depressing memories. Smoking weed in the long term doesn't seem to have any other memory loss. I should know, I've smoked for over a year now, but I only smoke on the weekends now. However, I did smoke every day for about eight months straight during part of my habit. I've started my college classes and I get A's on all my math tests, and this is math I've learned already...I never forgot it from high school. With english, it seems to be easier. I have no trouble writing my essays...in fact, I find it to be easier to write them. Weed has altered my mind slightly (or perhaps it was when I tried LSD) that has made me able to crank out B-quality essays of 3 pages in under 30 minutes. I don't know how I do it, I just do it.
And yes, college has descreased my marijuana consumption as well...but I like it. I stay sober during monday-friday when I have my clases so I can do extra well with school. My tolerance has plummeted, and two hits off a blunt will get me ripped for an hour...I love it.

Well, I don't know about you, but I sure do build up a hell of a tolerance. If I go even a week without smoking, I definitely notice a dramatic difference those first few times I smoke, but if I've just smoked the day before, I have to smoke significantly more the next day to get the same effects from the day before. And this might just be me, but in addition to having to smoke more, the effects don't seem to last nearly as long.
But moving on, the drug is going to affect everyone differently, and for those of us who have a natural tendency to be lazy, I think pot facilitates our laziness. I'm sure everyone's at least once planned on smoking and doing something active, then after you're actually finished smoking, you start to want to just sit around and eat instead. Well, at least for me, and I know I've been there many times.
Inhaling any smoke is going to be bad for your lungs and kill some brain cells, but the amount of brain cells that marijuana smoke kills is negligible, and compared to tobacco or any other smoke, marijuana smoke is much better for your lungs. But yes, fundamentally taking any recreational drug isn't going to be good for your body, but at the very least marijuana is easily one of the healthiest drugs out there (especially if you're willing to vaporize or, better yet, bake it).
You can become addicted to marijuana just like any other drug, and it does have withdrawal symptoms. However, you'd have to be smoking pretty frequently to get to that point. I've definitely noticed slight withdrawal effects after going from every day smoking to not smoking for a week straight. I notice a slight reduction in appetite, but it's pretty mild. More annoyingly, I do notice that I have trouble getting to sleep. When I get used to smoking every night before I go to sleep, my body gets pretty confused when I try to go to sleep sober, and I've had many restless nights because of it. Usually some Nyquil will do the trick though if I remember to take it beforehand. This usually only lasts a day or two, but it's worth mentioning.
So, I love marijuana, and I consider it to be safer/healthier than alcohol (but that's a whole different debate) and almost every other drug. Marijuana is still a drug though, so it's still prone to things like tolerance and addiction, but on a smaller scale.

Oh, and I forgot to mention pot hangovers. Some people say they never get them, but I know I've woken up after a heavy smoking session feeling a little out of it (usually accompanied by terrible cotton mouth). It's really not that bad, and sometimes I'll feel great after I wake up, but there are other (seemingly random) times when I'll wake up and just not feel 100%. Usually after an hour and some caffeine I'll be back up to speed, so it's really not too bad.

Yea I dont realy call it a hangover so much as still being stoned when you wake up. I bet it has to to with smoking right before bed because you get stoned and just lay there for 8 hours and the weed doesnt get worked out of you system as fast as when your awake.

The anxiety and paranoia, it just won't go away. I haven't really seen anyone else mention this, am I the only one that gets so much anxiety that it negates any good effects?

i get a good deal of anxiety (not so much paranoia) depending on the situation and setting. I'd say that this is the worst thing about weed.

I get slight anxiety when I'm smoking around a group of people that I'm not used to smoking around, but when it's the regular group I usually get pretty relaxed. Ever smoke alone? It might be a good idea to get more used to it that way if you're not too familiar with the effects yet, and it would build up your tolerance some. Smoking by yourself should eliminate any social stress you might be feeling, so you shouldn't really have any problems with anxiety alone. I don't like to smoke and go in public because I get paranoid if I have to directly interact with anyone for more than a few seconds, but I think that's pretty normal. You could always try smoking smaller bowls maybe. Tolerances vary a lot between people, so maybe you're just getting more stoned than everyone off the same pot. Personally, I hate getting really stoned around people that are just slightly stoned because it just makes me feel retarded and awkward.
I (unfortunately) have a tolerance that allows me to smoke a lot and not get too stoned, but when I go on a break from smoking, I always get floored the first time I smoke, and sometimes I'll get a little nervous if I'm around people when I'm really stoned. Getting too stoned in a social setting is never really any fun for me. You don't want to overindulge.
But yeah, if you're smoking the right amount of pot, and you're in a relaxed setting with some friends that you're comfortable around then you should feel comfortable too. Maybe you're bringing the anxiety upon yourself by thinking about it?
Well, whatever happens, best of luck. Let me know if you make any progress.

I have been a daily smoker for around three years now.
Smoking weed every day can really effect your sleep when you soon run out and have nothing left to smoke. I normally enjoy a few joints before heading to bed to get a good nights sleep but without anything it can be extremely difficult to try and sleep, i become so restless.
I have always enjoyed smoking weed at night once i have done everything thats needed to be done and i can finally chill out and enjoy some quiet time.
Do i wish i could cut back and smoke it occasionally? Yes & No would have to be my answer! For me, the positives overshadow the negatives when it comes to smoking daily

Smoking weed depletes enzymes and nutrients your body needs to work properly. There has to be a reason for the munchies right? Your brain and the rest of your body is a highly complicated electrical genius. Although smoke can make the ethereal visible so can opening my third eye.

The ignorance or simple rejection of proven adverse effects by pot smokers defending that which they love so dear speaks for itself.

Back to somewhat of the topic.. the worst thing about weed for me is paranoia. Can make me really insecure really fast. Thats the reason I don't smoke 8+ times a day anymore.

I am so fucking sick of this.
Fucking stoners that can't admit that smoking mary has ANY negative side effects.
Wiccan got it pretty good so I don't have to say much, except, get over yourselves. Im glad you like weed some much but fucking stop it.
plus the people who said that anyone who smokes weed will eventually become a daily user are kinda retarded, just because you decided you want to be high all the time doesn't mean everyone would. I have smoked for years and never daily. I'd say i go through periods of smoking once a every week or so for a while and then a few months of not smoking at all. So I don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
honestly this is just retarded. Admitting that there are negatives to smoking weed isn't the end of the world. It still has all the same benefits. It should still be legal, get over it and yourself.
