is smoking pot really that bad ?

For me, it wasn't bad when I was smoking it (unless I thought I saw a cop or got scared for some other reason). The bad part usually came 2 or 3 days after I smoked it and side effects crept up on me and kicked my butt. I almost jumped on somebody and put them in the hospital just because they called me by a name that was not mine. I had violent mood swings and sudden bursts of euphoria. It was very hard to hold down a job like this not to mention a relationship. Wean yourself off of it

Smoking anything is generally bad. Marijauna can be used for medicinal purposes though. Otherwise, not a good idea. It has a similar effect on the lungs that smoking cigarettes has, and people can develop dependancies on pot because of the way they feel while taking it. Also, there's the fact that it's illegal in many countries/states/provinces....

Smoking pot isn't bad for most people, it just depends on the person, some smoke it then get paranoid or the munchies or something like that, but its all in your head, pot is good for people with bad nerves and of course cancer, and to make you feel good :-), people that get paranoid are paranoid in general just when they get stoned it brings it out more because they're worried about getting caught, but smoke the **** out of it anyway and say **** it to everything and don't worry about it.

Aside from constant use burning out brain cells, nah, it's not really that bad. The medical profession uses it, prescribes it for some patients, I think those with a terminal illness, not sure, to help them relax. When I used to use it, it helped me sleep. So, ya know, sometimes, I think people just make all drugs evil. Pot is part of nature and there's not much wrong with nature.

I believe, though, if marijuana was declared legal, the excessive use would die out and brain cells could start regenerating.

i smoked for years and don't now.

among other things i am sure pot burned out my sense of direction and parts of my short term memory.

will i do it again, perhaps regularly, no.

if you are under early 20's your brain is still developing. the areas that are learning to get stoned could be more effectively used for other things.

if you are going to smoke, for your own sake wait until you are 22, 23, maybe 24.

Ive heard guys tend to get man boobs.
