It is great in small doses IMO.

But it intensifies sex, Charley 
For that reason alone I would've thought you'd be an addict 
I don't smoke it cos i'm shit scared of lung cancer, killed my Nan (sorry for the downer 
) But I do like the drink partly cos i'm Irish/English, we we're built for drinking and i'll smack anyone in the face who argues otherwise

Of course, long-term use of weed can cause problems, like memory-loss and paranoia. Anyone who claims it doesn't is either lying, or just hasn't smoked much.
Collateral damage.
It comes with alcohol, too, such as liver problems, obnoxious behaviour, drunk driving related injuries & death, domestic abuse, molestation of children, and hangovers.
Weed related memory loss is temporary and short term. It means someone has to repeat a phone number or the contents of a shopping list more than once. Big deal.
Weed related paranoia is only the result of weed's illegality, therefore it is a mindtrip and can be easily ignored or avoided with positive thinking. If it wasn't illegal, the paranoia would simply be experienced as self consciousness by those with self esteem issues.
Is water harmless? No. It can cause flooding. It turns iron into rust. It can sink battleships. It can drown babies in bathtubs.
Weed related lung cancer? Look at the cultures where weed has been tolerated for a long time (Jamaican) and where it is not uncommon for peeps to smoke it all day, every day, and show me they have a higher rate of lung cancer. They do not.
I don't give anyone shit about their consumption of alcohol. In order for me to enjoy weed I do not have to be anti-alcohol nor run about spreading misinformation about its use and consequences. Too bad the same can't be said about some of you alkies.
Luckily, I neither drink nor take drugs. So I can say that you're all f**king deluded nutjobs without being a hypocrite. 
Alcohol is far more dangerous a drug than weed et. al, but only because it's socially acceptable and thus more widespread. Weed and its kin have the greater effects quicker, and has been proven to increase the chances of developing schizophrenia, memory loss and the like. If you choose not to believe such research, then let's hope you fall in a canal before becoming a burden on the NHS. 
Erm Skibbington I worked in mental health services, and homeless services and there were an awful lot of people suffering from very nasty conditions exacerbated by dope.
I smoked liked it stopped, but I've met plenty of people who couldn't.
It may not be physically addictive, or even lead on to worse things.
it how ever is most definitely habit forming, and have seen enough people stealing and doing other nasty stuff to pay for their habit.
Perhaps the most insidious thing is crack, and heroin addicts no their addicted, and usually sometimes with a bit of a shove will seek help.
A compulsive dope smoker is more of a self medicator, and doesn't have the physical addiction to break, which can actually make it alot harder.
Oh and I've worked with people becoming aggressive from too much dope, and to much alcohol and their as bad as each other.
Funnily enough people hooked on pharamceutical heroin are usually ok.
n.b. dope is fine for a very high percentage of casual users much more so than alcohol (that really is a poison if misused), but it's the small percentage who can't handle it with which we need to be concerned.
I don't smoke it but I know a lot of people that do, then again I don't smoke anythink.

You shock me !
I do hear people at uni say that it is good for there back, I say
have you tried pain killers ?
You don't like racism or getting stoned? What do you do with your spare time?
I only smoke it occasionally, maybe a few times a month? I don't drink at all and I eat pretty healthily so I've justified it to myself that it's ok.
I don't see why people have got to smoke it, I am at uni most of the time and loads of people smoke it, I just can not see why people have to feel the need to turn to drugs.
I have dabbled *shock horror* and although I don't regret it as I did have some funny nights, I don't touch it any more. I saw a person very close to me suffer extremely thanks to weed, and although it wasn't the only factor to cause his schizophrenia, it had a lot to do with it.
And that's all I have to say about that.

What do you think you are alive as a human for?
To follow the rules set out by other humans?
To follow someone else's pursuit and ideas of happiness?
To spend their lives living only to avoid troubles & dangers & cancer & the tut-tuts of fear-oriented automatons who live their lives like wittle well-behaved school children?
Yea, man, cancer & schizophrenia & aggression & falling down the stairs & slipping in the bathtub & mental health workers & homelessness & crooked politicians (there are no other kinds)) & taxes & jumping the queue & haemorrhoids & headaches & teenagers hanging outside the Co-Op & teenagers smashing phone boxes & parents treating their children like puppets & men owning women like property to be drilled....Welcome to the human world, f**kheads. You got bored with Heaven and wanted a temporary life of mystery & instability & fear & conflicting desires, and here you are: Heaven gave you what you wanted. And I'm having a f**ken blast.
More suicides, please!
