I know plenty of stoners at my school with higher grads then kids who don't smoke it and have zero problems.
Anyway...
This whole stereotype of stoners being stupid really needs to be chucked. I blame all the stupid anti-weed ads and junk the government pushed on kids durring the years and that stupid D.A.R.E. program which really should dare to tell the truth.
Stoners are poeple too. Weed is harmless as long as you keep your habit under control and are responsible. Don't smoke an ounce a day type thing and don't be a chronic smoker who smokes morning, noon, and night. Smoke every evening or at a time that suits well.
Their are long term side effects, but short-term memory loss ain't so bad and a smokers couph is easy to deal with, plus if you use a vape it's even easier on you and no couph. ^^
If your wonderin' what it does to you thats easy.
THC enters your bloodstream from you lungs via smoking. From their it rushes upstream to your brain where the cannibisiods(spelt wrong probably:P) meet recepters in your brain which trigger a unique effect on your nervous system known as being high. :3
The rolling paper has a higher chance of causing cancer then the actual weed. The actual weed doesn't cause real memory loss either. It just delays cell growth.
By delaying the cell growth in certain parts of the brain, your memory is delayed or "lost".
Also, though it's true smoking it can cause cancer like many things - it has a less chance to give you cancer then cigerattes. A big one too. In fact cigerattes have 40% more tar in them then weed does.
Finally, due to the cell growth being delayed. Cancer cells would also be delayed too. Therefore it helps provent cancer while causing it in. Sort of a double-edged sword.
