Marijuana does not cause heart or lunge disease. It does not cause any sort of memory loss, either. And it doesn't demotivate you. Usually when I'm alone and smoking I'll sit on the couch and
think. A lot. It's also very useful for those suffering from glaucoma and eating disorders.
So almost all of what people know about Cannabis in the states is misinformation. This is so because the government makes boat loads (and spends) of money off busting people with minute amounts of weed on them.
The punishing of casual smokers is ridiculous, especially the penalties and fines for having weed; even if you have a prescription. They're punishing the wrong people and spending millions in our tax money to do so.
The biggest thing people probably think weed does that it doesn't, is affects your memory. There's been many studies that show regular cannabis smokers of 1-30 years had no differences in taking tests or memorizing things then regular people do.
So really, weed used casually is good for you. Cigarettes should be illegal, not weed.
