>>13220657Yes and no but mainly yes. Marijuana super good if your using it right and in moderation. However excess and prolonged marijuana use over a year or so damages your short term memory. People who say it's worse then Tabaco are retarded.
Our body actually has an endocannabinoid system(ECS) which binds to endogenous endocannabinoids and phytocannabinoids from Marijuana. The two known receptors are CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are mainly present in the brain and in peripheral tissue although in lesser amounts. CB2 receptors are located in our immune system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and in white blood cells. The presence of receptors all throughout our body and our body's ability to synthesize and degrade cannabinoids so quickly gives the ECS control over so many functions throughout our body.
When you smoke marijuana you are flooding your bloodstream with two main cannabinoids: THC and CBD. THC binds to CB1 receptors, CBD binds to CB2 receptors. When these receptors are activated they exhibit a number of effects on our body such as increased appetite, sleepiness, neuron activity, apoptosis, mitochondrial stress and decreased energy expenditure, inflammation, and GABA activity(there are more, I just don't know them all). Whether or not marijuana is good for you depends on your situation. If you are a fat fuck then stop smoking. If you're a skinny fuck then start smoking. Marijuana is very effective when treating cancer, epilepsy, weight loss, and depression.
>weight lossMarijuana induces weight gain in two main ways. First, it suppresses GABA(neuroinhibitor) in the hypothalamic reward pathway which increases appetite. Secondly it also reduces the energy being spent in futile metabolic processes. These two effects combined make marijuana a phenomenal tool when trying to gain weight.
>cancerCancer is caused by a bunch of faggot cells which refuse to die(apoptosis) and take up all your food and energy and crap. to be cont.
