Is marijuana bad for you?

Is it better to be STRESSED not smoking marijuana, or to smoke marijuana and live a stress free life?

Would your life be better without it?

There are many vices - Alcohol. Drugs. Sex. Sugar. Coffee. Porn. Smoking. Computer Games. You Name It.

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

Ok, let’s say you’re single.

For most of us, vices give us the simple pleasures which help us get through the days, and I’m old enough to know life is more about simple pleasures and less about accumulating huge amounts of wealth and dying young from a stress-induced heart attack.

If marijuana gives you happiness, and you’re not a slave to it, then sit back, relax, and don’t worry about it. You’re a grown up, and you can make that choice.

Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

My guess is probably not, so in that sense it’s bad. If it affects your work, libido, relationships, friendships, or any aspect of your life which could be better, then yes - you should probably consider marijuana bad in that sense.

Do you think that person would be attracted to someone who’s a slave to marijuana?

I quit sugar three months ago. I never realised I’d been a slave to sugar for over 40 years. Most people never realise that, but it’s an incredible feeling to be free of it. Imagine how elated I feel when I see someone stuffing their face with sugar like a right junky?

Is it possible for sociopaths to feel genuine remorse for their actions or thoughts towards others, even if they are skilled at hiding it from others?

I’m not an advocate for alcoholism. It’s a terrible vice which destroys lives. But my alcoholic 85 year old uncle, wine in hand every day at 11am when the “bar’s open” is doing pretty well. I attribute his health to not having a care in the world.

This may or may not be the case. I won’t judge.

Let me give you my personal recent example:

Ask yourself - do you want to be controlled by a vice?

Let’s jump to a conclusion:

Which of the above two scenarios are you?

Why didn't Taylor Swift do Taylor Swift (Taylors version)?

You want to find the love of your life, right?

Vices also control us. They cost us money which could be put to better use, and at times they stop us finding what we truly want.

But, if you feel you need it, you feel it’s harming your health, or other aspects of your life, just think about how much better your life would be without it.

How has your life changed for the past 10 years? Can you share your #10year challenge? Is your life better, worse, or still hopeful?

As a researcher and scientist I’ll sum up most pros and cons of marijuana as terribly drawn conclusions which prove very little, often biased, nothings.

In life we need vices.

That said, consider marijuana a vice. Something I know a great deal about, as I’ve had many.

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

I do anyway, and I’m sure you do too?
