WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT SMOKING CANNABIS IS GOING TO SEND YOUR LIFE DOWN THE DRAIN ??

In most cases because they’ve never tried it, so they act like it’s a hard drug & it’s not. 

I don,t believe people say that,,   That,s yahoo,s load it question,.    dj

If you NEED to smoke period your life is already down the Sewer

Cannabis is an insidious drug. It may not be highly addictive in a chemical sense, but the psychosis it brings ruins lives and is irreversible if used over a prolonged period. At the very least, it effects mood and judgement (or why take it in the first place?) which precludes a professional career and prosperity.

Mainly because it is true that it does.

Although not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted to it, many people find themselves addicted to this drug. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC, this chemical creates a serious of cellular reactions ultimately leading to the high one experiences when smoking marijuana. The amount of THC determines the potency and therefore the effects marijuana has on the user. Marijuana users who have taken an extremely high dose of this drug may experience acute toxic psychosis. This induces symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and depersonalization. This person may experience a loss of personal identity and self-recognition. Cancer of the respiratory tract and lungs have also been linked with smoking marijuana. This is due to the fact marijuana contains irritants and carcinogens that are even more potent than tobacco products.

Well, you see, they know these 5 people who went psychotic after using cannabis but didn't notice the 500 who used it a lot longer and did not go psychotic.

When your life goes down the drain, there usually is a combination of factors at work. However, some people like easy answers and go blame the cannabis.

Realistically, cannabis does change your perception of things. It reduces your focus, and replaces it with a wider view. It helps you appreciate the little things, such as the taste of tapwater or the beauty of the girl next door

The evil weed will make you start doing heroin and raping people.   

Unless you're strong like me and can resist the effects when you smoke it  ;) 

It might not send your life down the drain, but it will send your money down the drain. 

My favorite anti-marijuana TV commercial goes as follows: The camera zooms into and through an upstairs bedroom window, showing a young man lighting up a MJ joint. A middle aged female voice yells up from downstairs, "Joey, are up there lighting up another joint?" The young man says, "Aw, Ma!" The female voices yells, "Get a JOB, Joey!" The young man says, "Aw Ma!" The female voices yells, "Get a JOB, Joey! Make something of yourself!" The young man says, "Aw Ma!" Then the young man looks right into the camera and says, "They say smoking marijuana changes you, makes you into a different person." "But look at me, I'm 26 years old. I've been smoking marijuana for ten years now, and I haven't changed a bit!!"

It is well documented that habitual users of marijuana have an 8-9 point drop in IQ, compared to before becoming a habitual user. 

People are stupid enough without smoking pot.

Realism is more important than using drugs. (or alcohol)
