[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 392312, member: 1191"] It also shows some pretty awful side effects. Weed is a bigger carcinogen than cigarettes. [I]"The effect of marijuana on an individual’s ability to function is not the drug’s only side effect.10Although the long-term effects of marijuana are not fully understood, results of some studies show that longterm use may be associated with cardiovascular and respiratory problems.16-19 Study results show that marijuana contains hundreds of compounds that may damage the lungs—an estimated 50% to 70% more cancer-causing chemicals than are in tobacco products—and the American Lung Association reports that marijuana smoke releases 33 cancer-causing chemicals.19,20 Research has also shown that regular and frequent use of marijuana, particularly in high doses, can cause problems with short-term memory and concentration.10,17 According to the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health, possible adverse effects of marijuana may include dizziness, increased heart rate, low blood pressure, problems with short-term memory, decreased attention span, hallucinations, depression, issues with problem-solving skills, impairment of motor and cognitive skills, and insomnia.8 Some individuals may also experience dry mouth, red eyes, anxiety, low blood glucose levels, and drowsiness.8"[/I] Source: [URL]http://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/issue/2015/march2015/medical-marijuana-the-myths-and-realities?p=2[/URL] I am open to honest debate on the legalization issue, though I am doubtful I would ever support legalization, but I think we need to be open about the other effects weed has and whether or not the benefit outweighs the risks involved.
