I wouldn't recommend trying it. If it burns your brain cells, what's the point.

It depends how old you are. It does NOT destroy brain cells. It is actually not dangerous, but is considered a gateway drug, as users are 60 times more likely to try cocaine. If ur gonna try it once, go head, but only once. My teacher also told me it's better if you wait til ur like, 20, to try it

It DOES destroy brain cells. Ever seen a hippie? Yah. kthx.

Do not try it if you do you will get adicted get introuble with the law and do stupid junk that can harm you or somebody else. It is alligal it damages your brain cells after you smoke it and become edicted you will most likely end up on crack and you can't get a good job or good educatoin or go to college if you are a drugie. It just sends your life to misery. Once you can't even get a mcdonalds cheepy pay job you will possibly go rob a bank to go buy some more illegal weed. It is not good! Please don't try it it ruins your life it efects your heart mind body liver and lungs and it contains 70% more tar *bad poison* Then a regular ciggerette does!

Weed doesn't destroy brain cells, it essentially puts them to sleep, and thats why they say pot heads have poor memories. The neurotransmitters that make memory go to sleep.

So, what you're saying is...

WEED MAKE BRAIN CELL GO BYE-BYE

Right? If that's the case, I don't want weed.

Gamer, here is the truth.

What Johnny Pteran and others are saying is mostly not true. It will not ruin your life, it will not ruin your brain, you will have an urge for more because, and I am in no way saying you should try it or condoning it, but I have found it to be very fun. And you will most likely want more in the way that you want more of all good things.

First of all Marijuana is not addicting in the way your Health class would have you believe. It does not create drug seeking behavior, and you do not have withdrawal symptoms, it is not physically depending. I have known many people who have done it for years and just one day decide to quit because there job might start doing drug tests or other legal inconveniences. Some people feel an addiction for Marijuana, some don't, its really a question of your character. People with weak discipline are more likely to get addicted. I sure there are, but I have personally never met a man who has had difficulties quitting marijuana.

Take note that Alcohol is physically depending and quite addictive substance. Caffeine is a highly addictive and psychoactive substance (the most consumed in the world). Quickly drinking Two 12 oz coffees and you are legally "high". Caffeine has withdrawal symptoms.

Marijuana can in no way kill you. That ibuprofen you can get cheaply can kill you though. Marijuana, as a drug, is one of the safest drugs (taking into account all medicinal drugs also) that you can take. On the other hand Caffeine can kill you (see caffeine intoxication)

I am not going to say that Marijuana has no adverse effects on your brain. But it will not ruin your life, only you (not marijuana) will ruin your life. It will not give you bad grades, you give yourself bad grades. I have known exceptional students that smoke weed weekly. It’s all about how you manage yourself. (School isn't about how smart you are anyway, its all about work ethic)

It’s not going to kill off all your brain cells. I would estimate that one joint is equivalent to one beer. But it will distract you if you are unfocused. The bad effects of marijuana are mostly from the smoke. 4% of the Worlds population smokes marijuana annually and .6% (36 million) daily it is estimated. And there has been no link between Marijuana and any form of cancer.

I am not recommending the consumption of weed to you, I just know that there is a large body of complete lies about Marijuana that are taught often in Health class’, and truthful information Is hard to come by. I gathered this objective information so that you can make an informed decision, and decide for yourself whether or not you like Marijuana. Much more information is out there, use Youtube or google and you can learn a lot.

It's gooooooood stuff.

GO REMMY GO!!!

Yeah. Pretty much the only reasons it's stupid are:

1) It's illegal

2) Smoke is bad for lungs, but this is corrected by using water filtration or vaporizers

It doesn't kill brain cells, it just makes it easier for you to kill your own motivation(s) in life. Do your research.

It's illegal

Doesn't count. That's the only reason I ever tried it, actually.

It's good shit. Do it. Someone tell me how a few guys smoking weed in their basement is worse than out drinking at a party? It's not, yet for soem reason people freak out about this and not the latter. Ignorant people...

It's illegal.

^ Why you shouldn't do it. NUB

weed is less dangerous then alcohol. ever hear of someone ODing on weed? i didnt think so. plus its only illegal cause the government cant track the sales of it as easily as the sale of alcohol

It also makes one lazy and sedated as hell. I suppose hallucinations and lack of vigor is cool.

What kind of retard hallucinates from pot????

^ Why you shouldn't do it. NUB

By not doing it only because it's illegal I would be conforming to the government's idiotic moralistic bullshit that they call laws. These days, not doing something because it is illegal is the same as not doing it because your daddy told you not to. The government is run on what old men think you should and should not do. Listening to the imbeciles is degrading your humanity.

the legal status of marijuana is the only reason to avoid it.

I love weed, I started smoking occassionally at 16-17, then daily when i went to university. Smoking and selling weed never had a negative affect on my studies and I still got good grades at school and my Masters degree at university.

Most of the people who will warn you off weed have never tried it. You cannot become physically addictive and though there is a change of developing a psychological dependency it is very small and no more serious than the chance of developing a dependency on chocolate of coffee.

Do NOT only try it once - the first couple of times I smoked weed i didnt really feel much. You need to give it a good chance and the odds are you'll like it. You will not under any circumstances become some fiend stalking the streets desperate for your next joint - that just doesnt happen.

As has been mentioned it is a gateway drug - however that is not a medical issue, its purely statistical and does not mean you should assume smoking weed will lead you try coke or heroin. The reality is simply that the individuals who will try such substances are also willing to smoke weed - no big surprise there. They also will try cigarettes and alcohol. Many have ridden a bicycle and others have played video games.

Smoking weed is more common than many people will admit and most users suffer no ill consequences. The only negative effect I ever suffered was spending too much money on doritos and being pestered by people wanting to know if I had any to sell.

Some studies that are very informative and discount findings that Weed causes brain damage.

The idea that Marijuana causes brain damage, came from the report titled "Marijuana and Health" done by Dr. Robert Heath. He used results from four monkeys (four is hardly a large enough sample size) had misidentified a normal monkeys brain structure as "damaged" when it was not.

Journal of the American Medical Association has found no evidence of marijuana causing brain damage.
