Is marijuana good for humans

Answer 1

There is not a simple answer to this question, so here goes...

The most compelling fact that marijuana is NOT harmful to humans, is that there has NEVER been a death attributed to the use of marijuana. 13 states have adopted some form of Medical Marijuana legislation which allows it to be used to treat a wide range of symptoms. Cancer patients, MS patients, people with chronic pain, nausea, glaucoma, anxiety attacks, and many others find that the SIDE EFFECTS of smoking pot relieve their symptoms.

With that being said, it is not without drawbacks. Lung capacity is slightly affected (only a 3-4% change in regular marijuana smokers) due to the inhalation of smoke, but this can be counteracted by using a vaporizer to extract the THC (which is actually an expectorant, and therefore helps clean your lungs) from the plant material. Overall reaction times, short term memory, motivation and the ability to concentrate are affected, but these effects only last while the subject is still high. For this reason, I would have to say that marijuana can be detrimental to some, especially those who are still in school as it can inhibit a student from concentrating, retaining information, and losing the drive to continue .

I won't come out and say "Marijuana is GOOD for humans," so my answer is this:

There are very minor drawbacks to the use of marijuana, which are greatly out-shadowed by the benefits that can come from it's intelligent use. Responsible adults can use it for symptomatic pain relief, as a remedy for a lack of appetite, or even recreationally to relax, and can do so without having to worry about it's effect on their health.

Answer 2
