Is smoking weed very bad?

My friends and I smoked weed a couple of times and it just got me thinking what am I doing with my body.
Is it that bad? Or is it not that bad?
Our brains are not fully formed until our early twenties. Interfering with the process with any addictive chemicals, abusing opiates, alcohol, nicotine, etc.,(some are need for medical reasons), can potentially cause long term effects. Give your brain a chance to develop and become who you are. You only get one for a lifetime. YOUR decision.

for your age it may have some negative effects on your brain, but there are many conditions that are benefited by the use of marijuana which is why it's still illegal.

Yes, but it has to be the correct strains and that isn't to get high but for painkilling and anti inflammatory properties.

At your age, it can be a problem. Marijuana may be relatively safe for adults but it can seriously affect the memory of developing brains. That's a lifetime of disadvantage you're risking. Worth it?

You'll hear it's much better than alcohol and other drugs, and this is probably true but that doesn't make it good for you. Other than pain associated with chemotherapy and possibly migraine pain, there's no scientific indication that cannabis is good for anything. It may turn out that it's great, but it hasn't been proven yet.

If you're looking for advice, find a sport or other pastime. There are plenty of ways to feel good and giddy. If you do smoke, be responsible and mature. Good luck.

I think that's something you need to research and come to your own conclusion.
I will say that weed, like drinking and smoking, is an adult activity. And because of that, you need to make an adult decision.

My advice is don't touch any drugs or alcohol but especially psychoactive substances. The only high you should pursue is a naturally occurring one from say sports and exercise.

It's not good for a developing teenage brain.

the smoke is bad.. but, marijuana is a high utility plant.. like soy.

both get a bad rap from companies, politicians... idiots who believe the companies and politicians.

both can make anything from foods, clothing, inks... paper and much more.. medicine, you name it if the facility is available to process.

The smoke actually isn't proving to be as dangerous as previously thought, and with vaping, the game changes altogether.

Still, while cannabis is a high utility plant, its medicinal properties are still being investigated because they're about 89% anecdotal at this point. Studies are ongoing. And this isn't from companies or politicians; this is people who study such things for a living.
