Is cannabis a dangerous?
No simple answer
here I’m
afraid. Most of us would agree that very
little in life is totally safe especially
when taken to excess, and cannabis is something
that is all too easily taken to excess.
There
is a huge amount of evidence from doctors
and research scientists offering
proof that cannabis is indeed harmful to
our cognative functions negatively affecting
a range of abilities including memory,
attention span, and concentration.
It’s also pretty obvious
that smoking cannabis
is not the healthiest way to get stoned. People who should know
about these things will tell you that the
carcinogenic (that’s cancer causing)
properties of cannabis are equal to or outnumber
those of tobacco.
Psychologists will queue round
the block just to let you know how dangerous
cannabis is to your mental health whether
from paranoia, anxiety,
depression, cannabis psychosis, or full-blown
schizophrenia.
So there you
have it cannabis is harmful. It’ll
mess with your brain cells, screw up your
lungs, and play games
with your mind, but still every day millions
smoke the stuff and you know what?
At any given time a significant percentage
of dope smokers are wishing that they knew
how to stop.
Quite often
it’s got
less to do with mental health, cancer, or
memory loss but the whole package - the way
dope will eat up
our time, our days, our years, our lives. Our craving to be stoned
becomes all consuming, shrinking our world,
robbing us of our will and our freedom to
live happily in that reality simply called
life.
