Why Weed is Good (perhaps?)


The Herb of Life.


I'm not trying to endorse cannabis, but I've had enough of the marijuana issue. You see, that happens when your instructor tells you you've got to quit (really), and the internet says you've got to have tons of it (wow). I know of some really cool places on earth where people start consuming weed as kids. I guess that's a pretty good reason not to believe my instructor. Actually, I wasn't too convinced. Finally, I checked Wikipedia to see what modern science has got to say. Now read.


Cannabis has psychoactive and physiological effects when consumed. The minimum amount of THC required to have a perceptible psychoactive effect is about 10 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.[51] Aside from a subjective change in perception and, most notably, mood, the most common short-term physical and neurological effects include increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, impairment of short-term episodic memory, working memory, psychomotor coordination, and concentration.[52] Long-term effects are less clear.[53][54]


The numbers tell you it's from Wikipedia. That's for the effects. The impairment of memory doesn't seem too attractive - kids, you need the best memory you could possibly have; you don't have to smoke weed to have a bad one. It is however, a short-term effect. And I hope it really is.
Give me credit for reading this much to inform you you're doing just fine smoking weed. Well, if you're in doubt,read it yourself.
I don't want to talk much about cannabinoids (I don't think many stoned users are a bit interested). Save your brain, that's a helpful friend you got in marijuana. They help in delaying advancements of brain diseases like Alzheimer's. Furthermore, studies show that marijuana could also delay the development of cancer (if you call it development) by triggering the death gene in cancerous cells. Amazing.


Imagine the effects. The Perfect Human.


Now you have it. Just don't get caught. And don't be sorry if ever...:P
