There are some brand new studies that indicate that long term use, especially on a young mind can cause irreporable damage. Generally its always been thought that once you stop the effects are gone, but that philosophy has changed recently.

Well the pot hangs around your fat cells for a real long time, that in itself can not be a good thing.

it makes you content with just living your life and just enjoying the small things in life like strumming the guitar and making love, when you could be out doing something productive with your life like enforcing laws, serving in the military, or figuring out how to expand your net worth.

I know someone who has been toking for 20+ years. She has the absolute worst memory I have ever encountered. We both like watching dateline, 20/20, those type shows... well, whenever one starts up.. I know within seconds if I have seen it before. She? She forgets stuff she has seen if it's more than 3 weeks ago and watches it over again as if it's her first viewing. Drives me crazy... and is really a damn shame.

The positives out weigh the negatives.

It's your life.

As long as your actions don't harm anyone else, do what you want.

Nothing worse than uptight people who cannot accept other people enjoying themselves.

Don't even get me started on the benefits of hemp and the insane laws that prevent it from being one of the major crops of our nation.

So do you think it should be legal to smoke and drive?

You would have to get doctors and other professionals involved, if and when pot is legalized to determine such limits.
Then, once the medical and other qualified professionals come up with said limits, it would have to go to legislation, and such.........

not sure there are many.

although my buddy got some medical grade marijuana and asked me to smoke with him a few months ago.

first time I did it in a while and took too huge hits and was puking my brains out the rest of the night.

never felt sicker in my life.

the buzz i had for the first 20 minutes was great though.

a negative effect of marijuana is that it would be almost impossible to tax if decriminalized. A person can throw a few seeds into a flower pot and would never have to make a purchase again. It would be like taxing house plants or shrubs.

a positive effect of marijuana is that it keeps hundreds of thousands of government workers employed, along with organized criminals.

What about farmers down south that grow tobacco?
They more than likely buy their cigs from a store instead of growing their own and rolling them.

Point being, it's more convienent to just buy it.

I havent read but the few answers above me so im not talking to any person directly, just experiance in the past with this topic tells me my answer may offend some.

Anybody who thinks there are no negative effects from smoking pot is very very mistaken..........

the question isnt "are there negative effects" it is "what are the negative effects" so quit trying to piss off the potheads and post your facts zippy.

This would pretty much be impossible as THC remains in your blood stream for long periods of time.

Most things in life that are good, have negative effects. I smoke everyday and the worst that I have found is my fingers stink. I wash my hands a lot.

Have a few friends that are medical doctors and they all concur...its better than alcohol.
