Could some people tell me some of the pros and cons of smoking pot and growing pot? (other then the fact it is illegal.)

Are you for or against it?

Do you, would you, or have you ever smoked pot?

Thanks!!

Please don't be mean, rude, or criticize me because of my lifestyle!! I make these choices and am prepared to live with them!!

I am for pot.
I smoke pot regularly, and support it.
I am not a drug dealer.
I am not a user or a pusher.
I believe that pot is not a "gateway" drug for I have NEVER had the desire to do drugs.
Pot is proven to relieve stress, reduce pain, and greatly reduce suicidal thoughts in all age groups.
They have proven that pot actually helps your sperm count.
You would have to smoke 4 pounds of pot in 15 minutes to overdose.

Ganja man

I knows it cos I grows it ya rastapass da splif
Joking I don't smoke or drink or do drugs pretty boring I guess

never had it

Apparently it impairs your ability to spell.

I deserve a clip on the ear hole
Shows how much I know about drugs

Pot has health issues associated with it, though few are medically documented. Most notably are your lungs, of course inhaling any type of smoke will hurt your lungs and ability to breath. However, marijuana does not come with all the lovely additives that a cigarette comes with and as long as you know where and who you purchase from you should have no problems. Trust your dealer, trust your marijuana.

Pot isn't a "gateway" drug, matter of fact a "gateway" drug doesn't really exist at all. Pot hasn't been proven to do all that, but it has been proven to ease pain and increase appetite. The sperm count one I'm not familiar with, I always heard that it in fact lowers your sperm count. How much you would have to smoke differs, there is no set amount of marijuana that will kill you in one sitting...marijuana doesn't have a set L.D. 50, therefore the four pounds in 15 minutes doesn't apply...probably closer to about 15-20 pounds as you would have to at least smoke a quarter to half your body weight to actually OD on it however, marijuana is a tricky substance and differs from person to person.

The problem with documenting the health hazards and benefits with marijuana is that there are few proper studies done on it, I believe there is one that was performed through Amsterdam which is the largest case study to date on marijuana. Of course all of this doesn't matter really, because once you are taught the same thing repeatedly for years you tend not to want to accept any additional information or change your position.

I'm not familiar with grow procedures with marijuana, I do know that a cool sun-lit area is probably the best...but from what I hear you can have somewhere around 100 seeds and only a few of them crack (bud out to flower).

there are cons?

Few, but yes there are cons.

While I'm at it, where the hell have you been Fife?

I know it is less harmful then cigarettes or alcohol ,good for relieving pain.

Amazing, most people say it is more harmful than cigarettes. I'm assuming you looked into it independently?

yeah i ummm. ahhh. what was the question?
jk. I used to. too many jobs test for it now. miss it sometimes.

I don't smoke it. I don't care if others do, as long as it isn't around me and as long as it isn't all they ever talk about. Also, if their favorite thing to do is to just sit around and smoke, we probably won't have a lot in common.

The only cons other than the actual smoke itself, are getting thrown in jail, driving while high, and spending your life sitting on the couch laughing at stupid sh!t.

Well i been smoking for 10 years and for me is soo good because i have a really streesfull job(sales) and after i come home from work and give kisses to my kids(2 girls) i go to my special room and have a joint it relaxes my and i dont scream at my kids or in a bad mood dont get me wrong and its not an excuse is just that i love pot and i dont think that i will ever quit

sorry for my bad speeling im from Tijuana so there jaaa

Let all smoke some pot yeahhhhh

i'm not getting into my personal feelings one way or the other, but i am going to chime in on one little thing.

marijuana is NOT good for sperm. it causes decreased sperm count, decreased volume of seminal fluid, abnormally formed sperm, and abnormal motility.

it causes sterility that may reverse itself upon ceasing to use.
