Some people say the pot is harmless, no worse than cigarettes or alcohol.
I have to strongly disagree with this. During college, I witnessed first hand what pot does to people. One of my best friends since I was a little girl started smoking pot and I watched it slowly kill her. She could no longer carry on a conversation because she would forget what was said to her, or forget what she was saying in the middle of a sentence. The more she smoked, the less affect it had on her...so she would increase her intake until it got to the point she was smoking a bad a day and was perma-fried.
I tried to help her, but it didn't work. Her parents tried, her pastor, but nothing was affective. She would its no worse than drinking or cigs. Eventually she flunked out of University and got into a bad car accident while high. She was arrested and it really as the best thing to ever happen to her.
She was forced to be sober( mandatory drug testing) and faced with no future, she went back to University. Her old friends tried to get her to smoke, but she couldn't (because of mandatory drug testing). She graduated, and now is doing well.
Her memory is still horrible, she has no short term memory at all due to the pot. The friends that she would smoke with either dropped out of University or flunked out and all seem to be missing something mentally now and have moved onto much harder drugs since they could no longer get that high from pot.
I think its a horrible drug and have never touched it and never will .
The reason why you get high is because the oxygen supple is cut off from your brain for periods of time. How can this be good for you??
I am not talking about medical marijuana...that is a completely different topic.
Sorry to rant a little, but I have seen what pot does and I cannot stand it when people say it is harmless.
