smoking weed
My friend told me he started smoking weed so I want to know how bad it is. Is smoking weed considered a drug? And is it worse then ciggarettes? And is it addictive? Any more info about it would be appreciated!

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
ok wow a lot of people really fall for the government propoganda.
-weed is not as addictive as cigarettes, not even close. i have never heard of anyone having a physical dependence on weed'
-cigarettes are FAR worse for you. cigarettes cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year (or more), while i have never heard of anyone dying from smoking weed
-it is considered a drug by the federal government, although it is less harmful than alcohol and ciggarettes
-i would visit the NORML website for some more info

yeah it's a drug. it's not really known if its worse than ciggs or not... the gov. doesn't like it and all the above the influence people tell you the worst possible things that can happen. when have you heard of someone dying from weed? people die because of alcohol related things all the time and that's not illegal. from what i've seen, it's not addictive but i guess if a person needs it to be happy, then it's an addiction. usually people stop smoking when they get sick of it so don't go all crazy on them and tell all the adults you know... not THAT big of a deal. when i first heard my friend did i like cried cuz i thought omg they're ruining their lives but really, they're fine and life goes on. don't judge them about it either or they will probably just get mad about it... just let them get bored with it. <3

(1) It is a drug. It has a definite, measurable effect on the brain and body.
(2) It's hard to say whether it's better or worse than cigarettes. However, it's safe to say that any kind of smoke in your lungs is a bad thing. There is also the fact that marijuana is a totally unregulated product, meaning that you have no idea what you're getting when you light up. Who's to say that someone hasn't added PCP to the joint you take?
(3) Marijuana has been described as psychologically addictive, putting it in the same category as compulsive gambling. To my knowledge, there has been no study to find a chemical addiction (and if there had been, you can bet the results would be shouted from the highest hills!)
Contrary to the last responder, I would say that there are some proven health benefits, but unless you're on chemotherapy or have progressive glaucoma, you're not likely to need those benefits. It can also be shown to reduce stress and induce relaxation, but there are ways to do that which (a) are legal, and (b) do not involve smoke inhalation.
Also, age makes a difference. Roughly until the age of 18 or 20, one's brain is still growing and developing, and there have been few studies that can be practically done on marijuana's effect on the developing brain (one can't exactly give teenagers measured amounts of controlled substances to check the results!). Bottom line: It's probably not worth the risk just for a cheap high.

How "bad" you concider something to be isn't something that anyone else can tell you. It all has to do with your values and how you feel about the issue of smoking weed. Yes, it is concidered an illegal drug. Some people say it's worse than cigarettes, but cigarettes don't affect your mind the way that weed does. Yes, it is addictive, but it's a mental addiction rather than a physical addiction.

Smoking weed is incredibly addictive. Its just as bad as ciggeretes, and can kill you. While people are high, they can become emotianlly unstable, and do things that they normally wouldn't do.
Yes, weed is a drug, and an illegal one at that. Its illegal to buy, sell, and grow in the United States.
You really need to help your friend, because i've had friends that have been shipped off across the country, because of smoking weed. And i havn't seen them since. Its not fun.
Please please please, tell someone you can trust about this, because keeping it a secret is only going to hurt your friend
Much love

It is considered a drug, but it's not worse than cigarettes, close to being just as bad, but not quite. It is addictive for some, for others, not so much! No matter what intake you have of it, whether you smoke it once, or 500 times, lots of damage will be done to your system.

Weed is illegal, addictive, and highly popular among teens. Short term wise it may not effect you. But in the long run it can cause a lot of damage. For more info go to www.abovetheinfluence.com
