I myself smoked every single day for half a year and come new years i quit cold turkey and now its been 24 days, i'm attempting to make it to February before i smoke again.

Myth: Marijuana kills brain cells

Myth: Marijuana is a gateway drug
Fact: For every 104 people that have used marijuana, there is only 1 user of cocaine, and less than one heroin addict.

Myth: Marijuana is very bad for your health
Fact:

As early as 1972 The National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been heavily overstated.

In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research, editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to the health."

In fact, smoking marijuana helps to reduce the nausea with cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It also stimulates appetite with AIDS patients and many more benefits of marijuana keep showing up even today.

Today many people use marijuana as a medicine. Although its illegal, they risk being arrested and they could even go to jail but its obviously worth it for these people.

Why would you take away a medicine that helps ease the pain for incurable diseases, let these people smoke there weed and enjoy the time they got left without pain so they can spend there last few years being happy.

This myth is not only busted! The opposite has been proven, and I hope that one day this big taboo about marijuana will disappear and we can all smoke weed in peace.
