What are the disadvantage of using medical marijuana?

Answer 1

there are many more advantages to smoking pot such as feeling calmer--funnier--able to notice really small insects and be amused by them, the only bad thing about smoking pot is there is never a mcdonalds or a diner around when you need one

That ^ ,but to put it in a more scientific term :

Advantages : Creates a state of euphoria; easiness; contentment. Also shown to widen your span of deduction and creativity. Unfinished studies show that it may even increase brain cell activity. It's not lethal, besides an obvious minimal damage to your lungs, as it is plant matter being inhaled in gas form (not counting in the fact of burnt paper in a rolled joint, although multiple other uses are available). It's shown to help with the effects of HIV/Aids and Cancer (is well-known for the coping of chemotherapy effects); as well as a large amount of other diseases/illnesses. It's a misunderstood plant that is illegal for the wrong reasons; while tobacco and alcohol easily increases anger;rage;mindlessness (alcohol) and lung cancer; emphysema; byssinosis(brown lung syndrome) (tobacco) - all marijuana does to you is that it makes you feel happy and gives you a need to eat a bag of chips. Marijuana is also a non-addictive drug, although people have trouble with tobacco addiction and then you get the AA meetings too) 1 more thing : There are no deaths within over 1000 years of legalization and prohibition of the product due to the inhaling of marijuana. :) happy days.

Deaths per year from:

Tobacco=340,000-395,000

Alcohol (not including accidents)=125,000+

Drug overdose (prescription) =14,000-27,000

Drug overdose (illegal) =3,800-5,200

Marijuana =0

Here's the funny part.

Disadvantages : Besides the obvious red-eye and munchies; TEMPORARY memory loss.(only while you are high). The main disadvantage is that it's illegal. - Blame the illogical and idiotically foundationed government that uses flawed evidence and Propaganda for the "War On Drugs."

Answer 2

Most medical marijuana laws protect you from being arrested because of possesion or related charges. However employers are still able to fire you or refuse to hire you if you cannot pass a drug screening. That in my opinion is the biggest disadvantage.
