how bad is pot (marijuana) for you, actually?

Best Tip

I don't think it is as bad as drinking. Look at it this away it is naturally grown. Except for the idiots that add crap to it. But no it is better than drinking and hard drugs.well actually its been known to help you out with a couple of things its medicine thats what i heard on the news though, but the side of effects are that you lose brain cells every time you smoke it
Inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for your lungs. Combustion (burning) causes a chemical reaction which releases carbon monoxide, a natural poison.

It may not be fair to compare pot to something like heroin or coke because of the major differences. Instead try comparing pot use to no pot use. And that is assuming you are talking about untainted pot. Since it is illegal, there is no way to the FDA to assure it is clean or pure. The last thing you want is to smoke PCP.
It kills thousands of brain cells every time you smoke a joint. Brain cells don't regenerate. Once their gone, they're gone permanently and you need those brain cells. I don't know about it being used as medicine nor as it being a gateway drug. Although that is how my brothers started and they ended up doing cocaine and heroin. My older brother was addicted to cocaine before he died.

Please don't try it. If you're already having doubts that just means your concscience is saying no. "When in doubt, don't do it."
