Why is weed good for you?

Answer 1

Alcohol and nicotine, the drugs that are claimed to be safer, are actually considered by the scientific community to be hard drugs in comparison to cannabis. Furthermore, scaling up from animal studies, an average human would need to ingest over a kilogram of cannabis to die of an overdose.

There are studies that show no actual increased risk of cancer from smoking marijuana, even when duration of use is expanded over several years. In fact, some studies indicate THC to have anticancer properties, with studies showing tumor reduction in mice.

The idea of brain damage from cannabis may have had its origins in, or was at least popularized by, the results of a few studies on monkeys and rodents in the 1970s. However, the rodent studies involved 200 times the psychoactive dose of THC, and the monkey studies involved insufficient sample sizes and controls, and misidentification of "damage." In fact, the most (in)famous study finding evidence of brain damage involved forcing the monkeys to inhale huge amounts of cannabis smoke over several minutes straight, every day, causing potentially confounding oxygen deprivation and carbon monoxide poisoning. More recent studies, however, failed to show any brain damage from cannabis in monkeys when better experimental techniques were utilized.

Many school programs today teach that cannabis users are at a much higher risk of getting lung cancer or other diseases than tobacco cigarette smokers. While unburned cannabis or THC is not a known carcinogen, it is technically true that cannabis smoke, like any smoke, contains carcinogens. However, the largest study of its kind by the University of California - Los Angeles found that people who smoke marijuana are no more likely to develop lung cancer or head and neck cancers than non-smokers. In fact, some studies have shown that marijuana may actually reduce the risk of some cancers by as much as 61%.

It isn't. It can be used by patients of serious diseases to make them hungry so that their disease doesn't curb their appetite. Any healthy person who says it's good for you is an idiot.

Like everything in this world they can be good and bad points about every subject, for example money can be good or bad for you. It depends on the person them self and their own opinion. Who cares if you smoke weed or you don't the underline is that it is your choice. Life is to short, no one is telling you to put weed into your system.

Marijuana is the correct term for this medical euphoric ganja. Marijuana slows down cancer cells and it is very useful to people with leukemia whom find it very hard to eat. It cured my anorexia and it saved my life and many others. It eventually cures and prevents depression in the patients that choose to use this medicine's purpose. It keeps most people off harsher drugs like, cocaine, ecstasy, meth, heroine, etc.

It not only gets you high, but it's a natural high that you can control completely. You can smoke or consume it before bed and you will have the best sleep of your life. You'll stay fully asleep through the night and wont "toss and turn" and wake up with back pains.

Marijuana doesn't kill you at all. The lethal dose for marijuana would be 1,400 joints in a time of 20 minutes...
