Does smoking marijuana damage your health?

Answer 1

It's very unlikely and is only the case in extreme abuse. Otherwise marijuana is most likely to improve your health.

Marijuana will help chronic pain , glaucoma , and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [ COPD ] . It is on this planet for medicinal purposes , not recreational purposes. . Use when necessary like any other medication under a doctor's supervision and recommendation.

It offers neuroprotection, meaning it protects nerves and brain cells. There is also some evidence that it may facilitate brain cell development. The US DHS confirms the scientific research that marijuana can be used as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant, it hold the patent to these uses patent no. 6630507

I can also relive the symptoms of ADD and ADHD as well as help motivate them to do their work.

The consequences of minimal usage are not alarming. Many voices on the subject overplay the impact marijuana has in the development of the brain as not all users are taking the drug every week. A brief outline of these effects on the brain is as follows:

User's are more likely to develop mental problems such as anxiety, depression, etc. This, however, is a varying risk from person to person. Some people may never experience these mental issues.

Short term memory issues is also a common problem linked with the drug, but this is only temporary.

People can sometimes identify someone who abuses the drug by their behaviour.

The main problem with marijuana is that people think that the drug is relatively harmless. This is only true if the user doesn't abuse the drug. I know people who smoke it before they go to bed (marijuana is a great for insomnia relief and other debilitating conditions) and when they wake up (certain strains can be more effective than coffee and are much less addictive than coffee). It can happen to anyone.

Weed is a known bronchodialator to the medical community. This being said it could be effective treatment to a person with Asthma as long as they vape, rather than smoke. Smoking deposits tar into the lungs. Because marijuana smoke is rarely filtered this can be up to 4 times as much tar by weight smoked than cigarette smoke deposits, this being said a tobacco smoker goes through 20-40 cigarettes a day while a stoner goes through 2-4 joints of the same weight per day. Marijuana smoke also causes temporary irritation, but it has no lasting effects. Marijuana does not increase your risk for cancer or COPD, let alone cause them unlike tobacco smoking and there are studies that conclusively prove this and disprove the myth and lie alleged by the negative Propaganda.
