BunnuvaSitch	I agree that there's no harm in using marijuana occasionally. I don't necessarily know if there's a BENEFIT to it per se, but at least no real harm done. I've been smoking for about 8 years now. When I was a teen I admit I wanted and tried to smoke as often as I could, but now that I'm an adult (albeit a young adult), I know how to control myself and often go on "hiatuses" when my lifestyle doesn't permit a toke or two. If I'm in school -- and I am, I generally take a hiatus during the semester, because frankly I'm too damn busy to smoke. I must say however that it is nice to have around when I am having trouble sleeping -- it relaxes the mind and the body so that I can sleep easier. I'm not sure if this really answered your question at all but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Colts girl	I would have to agree with you on that...but I'm sure your going to get people that have no clue on this subject answering with close minds. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mel J	I don't agree that it is ever beneficial. Seeing as though this is in the alternative medicine section I will give you my opinion based on what I have seen in mine and my friends profession. My friend is a spiritual healer, which granted, a lot of people do not believe in. I say try it before you mock it, because I was one of those people before I tried it and it changed my life. Anyway, based on experienced through that, marijuana hurts your energy field in a way that does not heal itself, no matter how little or how much you use. An example of this someone I know that smoked quite heavily when he went through a bad patch for maybe 6 months, then gave up completely when he realised it was a serious addiction for him and it was ruining his health etc. That was about 12 months ago he stopped, hasn't even had a little since. 2 days ago he saw a spiritual healer who had a big battle drawing out a huge entity from his body that got there because he smoked dope and he had never been able to get rid of it. He thought that he felt fine, and it hadn't had any effect on him until he cleared this thing and now feels 20 years younger. Yeah, I know, most of you will think this is completely nutty, but I felt compelled to say it because I think health is one of those things that you maybe think you feel really fit and healthy if you are comparing it to when you were in a really bad state, but what if you were to feel better, and realise that the fit and healthy state you were in could be improved ten fold? Anyway, just a thought... You sound like a very smart person based on what I just read anyway, so good luck with everything you do, and I am glad that you feel good. Your life and your choice, don't let others judgements get to you no matter what your choices are, no one else can judge what is right for you except you! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Candi G	i completly agree. please keep in mind that just like anything else out, people will have different experiences. personally my green is relaxing, something that's once while, when it's time to relax at the end of the day. however, i do know people that cannot use the herb because it causes panic attacks. to each their own. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	Back in my day, marijuana was used to relax, simply put. We smoked it at the end of the work day and didn't invite unwanted guests in. Now a days I feel that the kids smoke to be cool. Cool? heck, I thought having a VW bug was cool. :) I think it's beneficial. For me anyhow. I haven't touched it in years just for the simple fact I do have a breathing condition, due to cigarettes and I can't even tolerate them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CourtneyElaine	Honestly, I'm all for vaporization. Smoking keeps me calm. I am naturally a very high strung person. And even if I'm not "high" so to speak, I still feel more at ease than I ever did before I started. I smoke a little bit every so often throughout the day. Puff puff here, puff puff there. And unless I over do it, which is normally saved for weekends, or especially stressful days, I never feel un-motivated and at the end of the day, I normally even go for a run. However, if you took my greens away would everything collapse? No if I don't have any, I don't have any. I don't really feel any different, after I had been smoking a about year I was worried that I was addicted, or abusing the herb, so I gave it up. Not for any set amount of time, I just stopped one day and didn't start again for about six months. But, in moderation through vaporizing I believe it can be quite beneficial.

legalize it	yes i think it is beneficial, i know some kids that abuse it tho, just want to get '****** up' I use recreationally and i agree that great ideas come from the herb. You really get to know yourself and realize things you never knew. Some people probably don't even enjoy weed to its full potential because of their lack of a good reason and just being plain stupid. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Arggg	Weed should be legal. But any kind of habit like that decreases your ability to deal with a stressful situation in a sober, mature way. The more you rely on it, even if it's only on the weekends, the more you fall behind in your social skills and your life experience. You do not grow emotionally. Was this answer helpful to you?

voodoogeisha	as a daily smoker for over 12 years, i can say that the long term effects were paranoia bordering on psychosis. strangely enough, there are many members of my extended family who have had the same problems after years of smoking. i haven't smoked for almost 5 years and i really wouldn't encourage anyone to, especially more intelligent people.

Tommy M	Marijuana is most often used for recreation, It's affects are powerful and shouldn't be played with. The proper uses are medicinal and ceremonial, this way the plant is used respectfully. A ceremony could be anything that a group or individual decide. It shouldn't be used casually although most people do use it that way. And I wouldn't recommend it's use more than once a week. It is unfortunate that is has been deemed illegal, but people have had a long history of misusing it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
