Answer:
Marijuana is actually a very mild drug. It does not produce a physical addiction, and does not appear to have a lethal dose (an amount that will kill the average person). It certainly can be habit forming, just as many things can (being on the internet, television, using chapstick, etc). And it can impact a user's motivation in a negative manner (called amotivational syndrome) if consumed frequently and in relatively high doses. Another negative factor associated with marijuana is its impact on attention and short term memory. However, these side effects seem isolated to the period during which someone is actually intoxicated or a brief period afterward. No permanent impact on short term memory has been identified, even in long-time heavy users who have been studied. There is also a negative impact on your lungs, similar to the effect of tobacco smoking. However, most marijuana smokers don’t smoke 20-30 marijuana cigarettes per day (the average tobacco cigarette consumption of a tobacco smoker), so the impact is usually somewhat minimal on the lungs if marijuana is the only thing smoked by someone. It does not “kill braincells”. It impacts neurotransmitter activity in the brain. It is illegal for 2 basic reasons. In the 1930's when alcohol was legalized again after prohibition, anti-alcohol forces were looking to other intoxicants to focus their attention on. One thing they selected to focus on was marijuana. Some people think they selected marijuana for racist reasons–that is, it was primarily used by black people (jazz artists for example), but was gaining acceptance among whites who were starting to embrace jazz. This led to the Harrison act (you can probably find out a lot about this act on wikipedia).

Answer:
The only bad thing i have seen is if a young person in school starts using it regularly, they tend to slack on school work and begin having family troubles. I know that can't be true for every single young pot smoker, but most who smoke regularly at tool young an age have some problems due to the smoking. I’ve known a few people in my life that smoked weed each day AFTER work and still had a regular, productive life. I just thought of another bad thing about weed. The sale of it generates quite a lot of unregulated, untaxed money. People who are breaking the law selling weed are also spending the profits … kinda scary thought. If there were a way to put some of that profit toward social service and community funding, that would benefit our citizens.

Answer:
well people believe it is a “gateway drug” and will inevitably lead to the use of harder drugs like heroine. even though this has not been proven. it can mess up lives, but then again so can alcohol which is legal, and even stress for that matter.. in countries like Jamaica its thought to bring people closer to God, but america generally respects christian values. doubt it will ever be legal.
