People tell me it's better for you than most things because it's"natural"and doesn't do any damage, but all my friends who smoke alot talk really slow and forget everything.. I also just heard that smoking weed adds 6x more tar to your lungs than smoking ciggs does..What damages does smoking weed do to your body?Besides yellow teeth haha.

uhh...being highTHE BIGGEST ERROR IN THAT SENTENCE IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS NATURAL IS OK/SAFE! That is simply not true. Just because it isn't a prescription drug doesn't mean it is not a drug. This does not only apply to marijuana. Something like that still has physiological effects but the result is much less predictable because each plant has different doses of the drug depending on the conditions in which it is grown. Also because of the lack of knowledge that doctors and patients have on natural medicines it can be often dangerous because of adverse effects of mixing with other medications. Think about this when purchasing any natural product.So back to weed.The mind:Marijuana use reduces learning ability. Research has been piling up of late demonstrating clearly that marijuana limits the capacity to absorb and retain information. A 1995 study of college students discovered that the inability of heavy marijuana users to focus, sustain attention, and organize data persists for as long as 24 hours after their last use of the drug. Earlier research, comparing cognitive abilities of adult marijuana users with non-using adults, found that users fall short on memory as well as math and verbal skills.The Body:Chronic marijuana smokers are prey to chest colds, bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma. Persistent use will damage lungs and airways and raise the risk of cancer. There is just as much exposure to cancer-causing chemicals from smoking one marijuana joint as smoking five tobacco cigarettes. And there is evidence that marijuana may limit the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease.Marijuana also affects hormones. Regular use can delay the onset of puberty in young men and reduce sperm production. For women, regular use may disrupt normal monthly menstrual cycles and inhibit ovulation. When pregnant women use marijuana, they run the risk of having smaller babies with lower birth weights, who are more likely than other babies to develop health problems. Some studies have also found indications of developmental delays in children exposed to marijuana before birth.OK SO WHOEVER IS GIVING THE THUMBS DOWN TO PEOPLE WHO GIVE REAL ANSWERS BE OUR GUEST AND LIVE IN IGNORANCE IT IS ONLY TO YOUR DETRIMENT

Arsenic is also natural and is has some pretty definite consequences. Stoners love that natural line as if everything found in nature is good for you.
