    GOOD. Marijuana is not like other "drugs". Marijuana dont make you steal, kill. Marijuana dont make you jump off buildings cause you think you can fly. Marijuana makes you hungry, tired and silly. and what happens to alot of people after they eat, they get sleepy. And when you are sleepy sometimes you get silly. The only bad thing about marijuana is supposedly memory loss. And i aint never had a good memory. So to me there are no bad effects of marijuana. LEGALIZE IT!!

    It's not safe, people will say it's not as bad as drinking but I'm proof

    of it, I almost hit A man crossing the street !!!!!!!! Don't do it , it's

    not safe en less it's doctors orders.

    I was told by tons of people that it's fun and I needed to try it so

    I did and it didn't do anything so then I tried it again and I felt fine

    and I left to go home one evening and this guy walks across the

    street and it's like I knew he was there but wasn't able to move

    fast enough to stop and I was inches from his body, it can slow

    down your reactions so please think before you do it or pass this

    on.

    Both--I don't use it but was experimental in my teen years.

    Good--in my opinion other drugs such as alcohol and nicotine in cigarettes are just as bad so on that level, other than the fact that it is illegal I really don't see anything wrong with it.

    Bad--

    Effects on the Brain

    -distorted perceptions

    -impaired coordination

    -difficulty in thinking and problem solving

    -problems with learning and memory

    Effects on the heart

    -raises blood pressure

    -speeds up heart rate

    -risk of heart attack multiplied by 4 while under the influence

    Effects on the Lungs

    -50 to 70% more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than cigarettes

    -users inhale marijuana more deeply and hold their hit in longer

    -abnormal growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue

    -daily cough,phlegm,more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency toward obstructed airways.

    as well as

    Marijuana has the potential to be addicting after long-term use.

    mental health issues (many of these studies are correlational, therefore no one can actually say Marijuana causes them-when they could be attempting self medicate etc...)

    Depends how one uses it.

    It's probably bad more often than good, but not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be.

    Normal cigarettes, for instance, are much worse.

    Bad. When you're high you're unable to think clearly causing you to do stupid things. For a second it erases all of you problems but in 5 minuets it causes 10 more.

    It depends.

    I have seen some cases where it's good. I heard of one guy who was in a wheel chair because he couldn't walk. But, he secretly imported some marijuana and he ended up being able to walk again. He even started to grow it! Unfortunately, he got arrested.

    Bad.

    I smoked weed for a a little over a year, the end of grade 9 to grade 11(this year)

    I smoked everyday with my friends, at lunch between classes after and before school.. whenever!

    It was a normal day at school- this October. I smoked up with a couple of friends at lunch then walked back to school. Let's just say.. i felt like I was in a dream walking back for 5 minutes, literally I thought i was in bed dreaming I was at school. I snapped back and I knew there was really something wrong - this was NOT right, i never felt like this before ever, everything was going very slow and my heart was beating very v e r y fast. The last thing I remember is being on a stretcher getting rushed out of school. I thought I was going to die that day, and no i didn't but I learned my lesson.

    - My weed was laced with coke, and meth.

    - I know have heart problems because of that.

    Other things that were bad.. I looked at pictures from last year I had little red bumps on my face. I was like WHOA- I dont have that anymore btw.

    Good. I've been smkoing for over 20 years, and I'm still smarter than everybody I know. There are a lot worse things you can do. One of my closest friends drank himself to death, and he was only 43.
