No, there are no proven long-term effects. If smoked a lot, however, it is possible to get schizophrenia so be aware. (NOTE: the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia is not true. The study that proposed that there could be a relation between the two was based on a small study and has not been verified with a larger population study.)
The largest study of the health effects of marijuana to date was done by Kaiser Permanente. They studied the health records of 65,000 patients over a number of years. They found no significant differences between the health histories of those who smoked pot versus those who did not smoke marijuana. See the related link on
Marijuana and Mortality below.
Every major government commission report on marijuana from around the world over the last 100 years has concluded that marijuana prohibition was based on racism, ignorance, and nonsense. They all said the marijuana laws should have been repealed long ago because they do more harm than good. They all said that marijuana is not a significant danger to health, even when used regularly for decades. See the related link on Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy below.
Yes, marijuana can harm you if consumed in excess or in certain circumstances. It can impair cognitive function, decrease motor coordination, and lead to addiction if used regularly. Additionally, smoking marijuana can have negative effects on lung health.
Starting any drug at a young age can distort mental development - particularly with marijuana, this has been shown many times over to be a negative effect of long-term and/or heavy usage - and can lead to several mental disorders in older age. Some claims are made that smoking marijuana can also stunt bodily growth, but this is probably related to the act of smoking in general and not the marijuana itself.
Smoking every day multiple times a day.
sadly; yes. he has been smoking since he was 14. he has had his times for smoking marijuana, at the begging of Never Shout Never but he regrets it and stoped.
not really, its actually pretty much the same. People are quick to say weed is fine and harmless and mellows you out. Check out the real facts using google, type in side effects to marijuana. Trust me bro, i farked up many times on it!
It can be argued that fentanyl is approximately 50-100 times more potent than marijuana in terms of its effects on the body.
well it all really depends on who is smoking and their tolorance level, and also depends on the potency of the marijuana..some times yes a lil bit, other times you go through a whole stash and get nothing...
I also have hypothyroidism and have been smoking for over ten years. I don't really think it does affect it specifically. Not anymore than the usual side effects from low thyroid or smoking do. I just wanted to update this answer. (I am not the original respondant.) I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago after suffering symptoms for a few years. I smoke marijuana and I've noticed a definite affect. For me, marijuana can sometimes bring on negative effects. Nothing life-threatening (that I know of) but very uncomfortable. In addition to the normal panic and anxiety that sometimes hits me from smoking, I can also get neck and jaw pain and an overall sort of "twitchiness" and trembling in my hands. It also seems to make me really cold sometimes. FOr me, smoking marijuana is a roll of the dice. Sometimes I'll smoke and everything is fine and enjoyable. Other times it's miserable. Just my two cents!
Contrary to popular belief, cannabis actually slightly increases your sperm count.
You can become addicted to the nicotine just by smoking only 4 times. Only smoking 4 times will most likely cause zero side effects to your body though.
No. Frequency if smoking marihuana does. Smoking a few times a month it will be in your system for about 30 days after last consumption. Frequent use can make it stay for 90 days or longer.
Marijuana, it is the best because stoned times are the best times and it basically has no side effects other then some food and temporary stupidity.
