Is cannabis dangerous?

Many people regard cannabis use as harmless and some advocate its legalisation. Is cannabis dangerous?

Three words: I don't know.

(O wait, there's a 3000 word limit. Better write 2997 more!)

Cannabis is marijuana from the Cannabis sativa plant and it's usually bought from your friendly local drug dealer. I don't really care, Mr David Chong, whether cannabis is dangerous or not but its users seem pretty happy and hey, live and let live, right? Bet you get what I mean.

There are other words for marijuana such as uh, weed, blow, pot, hash, ganja, bhang and many others depending on your culture and geographical origin, method of preparation and whatnots. But who gives a flying water balloon? I'm not using or dealing so stuff like this won't affect me much whether I know or I don't know.

And uh, hmmm, they conduct studies but one of those couldn't prove whether cannabis was dangerous or gets you high because the concentrations they were allowed were too low to produce the wanted effects.

And they say it might be a 'gateway' drug (a word all P105ers are prolly too used to these days) that might encourage users to try more harmful drugs such as cocaine or heroin. Yea. Then there's the whole stage theory about it. Haha. No cigars for guessing what stage I'm at.

Ok, bad joke.

Hmmm. Add in some risks and harmful effects and a statement saying 'Cannabis is illegal' then a crummy conclusion and I'm done! Yay! This is easier than I thought. Guess I'll be celebrating the start of EOS4 exam preparations sooner than I thought! Rejoice!
