No Harm from Pot? Inconclusive!

[rocknanchor]

My brother and I partook one day a long time ago in our own backyard. I ended up altered of mind from the effects of that single joint (marijuana cigarette). My brother, he had to be rushed to the hospital and became incapacitated. The hospital test revealed the lining of his brain had swollen to an abnormal amount. Did he almost die? We did not carry out any further experiments to find out.

YIKES !
I smoked pot for years, and only had one bad experience, but that pot was doctored with something...I'm sure.
I wish I still had all the money I wasted on being wasted.
It's been twenty plus years sober for me now...to the glory of the King !

I once visited a friend in a psych ward and asked the doctor if all these people are in here for the same reason , and he said no , many are here because of marijuana........

Smoking anything is harmful to your body. Marijuana has medicinal effects when it's properly dosed and regulated under the guidance of a competent doctor, but the risk for abuse is extreme. I have many friends who take marijuana in some way, including pills, salves, and other non-smokable forms. Those can be beneficial for pain, and for management of psychological issues.

No medication is for everyone, and there are always side effects. Whether or not a person should take marijuana for their issues is between them and their doctor, but what is conclusive is that smoking a substance introduces carcinogens into one's lungs and causes damage.
