Why do some potheads say weed is good for you?

It can relieve chronic pain and make you feel more relaxed.

Weed can help with certain problems which are but not limited to cancer or HIV- can help with immune system, hunger and actually fight cancer cells* (inconclusive*).

Helps reduce PTSD, weight difficulties, epilepsy, anxiety and depression* -some studies show cannabis reduces dopamine and brain grey matter. Also new pathways are opened to compensate. (More study is needed)

It helps with chronic pain and arthritis, ADHD, raises immune system, insomnia, neuron diseases.

The list seems to just keep going but I can't find enough substantial evidence to add them also it depends on how you get MJ into your system as well (possibly).

Basically your mates just want you to get stoned. Nowt wrong with that, cannabis is safe. Although it Is psychologically addictive. Symptoms of first few days quitting. Insomnia, irritability, lack of appetite and REM sleep rebound (focked up dreams) then back to normal.

If you don't want to then don't. If you need to get new friends.

Because they are toked up and stupid. They want you to join them. You obviously don't. I'd drop the weedy friends completely as you have nothing in common and you are brighter than them.

Because they are crazy.

Marijuana is valuable in treating pain, anxiety, nausea and a number of other illnesses. Unfortunately, you kids use it like booze to just get high. Oh well, kids are stupid.

your "homies" are idiots

Typical pushers, they want you to try it so you can be a loser too.

There is anecdotal evidence that it may help you in some ways. There is scientific evidence, as well, but not in the ways that a stoner might think.

There's an obvious problem in that there seems to be no mention/recognition of the fact that inhaling smoke from combusted materials is not going to help your lungs. Additionally, if an ultra-relaxed state was a good thing for all humans, then we'd all be there.

Because when you have a habit you want to justify why you do it. There's 3 types of stoners 1. Weed promoters people who believe weed makes everything better and causes miracles 2. Lazy tokers people who would rather sit around all day and smoke then hangout with friends and 3. Go getters people who smoke and go to college get good jobs and just live good lives

They said that to make you want to do it. Weed can be fun for some but its not neccessarcily good for you lol unless its medical marijuana which isn't the case you were in.
