There is an endless debate about whether Marijuana use is beneficial or detrimental ones health.
To discuss this topic we must start from the base; Why do people smoke Marijuana?
The the majority of pot smokers are recreational users, the Friday night and lazy Sunday afternoon stoners. This demographic (NORML, 2011) In my opinion isnt a harm to society or themselves, but drug use turns into drug abuse.
Many users start by smoking casually as a social activity, then become used to the feeling and almost rely on it. This changes the casually tokers into regular smokers. I know from experience how easy it is to "blaze" everyday, however users will slowly feel the effects (T, 2011) of marijuana use.
Many users also suffer from depression (Medical Marijuana, 2009) after regular use of the marijuana. The feeling of euphoria (Cannabis Effects, 2012) that marijuana use gives you is the main factor in building addiction to the drug, this is similar with all drug effects. Users begin to crave the feelings of euphoria while being sober, soon reality isn't enough to satisfy many users that become reliant on marijuana - Thus bridging the gap from casual smokers, to addicted tokers.
Many argue that marijuana use can counter depression through the effects of euphoria, but as the feelings of euphoria only are existent whilst under the influence of marijuana the user will need to be constantly under the influence of weed to avoid depression. Thus creating a dependency on the drug and consequently an addiction.
