It can cause pyshosis, and Schitzophrenia here i have provided u with some reading material on the subject
It is also a Crime in Australia, so society sees it as a bad thing to do

Try searching through the non-school and news, current affairs and politics forums... I'm sure that the general consensus (forum, scientifically, etc.) is that it is bad, it's just that there are a few points of contention regarding how bad it truly is, decriminalisation vs punitive punishments (slight simplification, but eh), and one concerning use and abuse (this one was rarely addressed, I think).

its bad

it doesnt matter how many times you smoked it, its not good for you. very similar to taking poison (no difference actually), so try taking some poison and tell me taking it once does jack-shit!

how is there no differnece. u take poison once u die or nearly die, u smoke weed once and notihng really happens. ( u cant die from smoking weed) maybe cancer from weed, but u need a life time habit for that

theres usually three types of people

people who never tried a drag of weed in thier lives and are all against it and never actually know the true effects .

then there are the stoners, who use weed all the time and live in denile , thinking that nothing is wrong with them. and sitting at home smoking weed all day is natural.

theresd only a fewe people who tried it , had thier opinion and actualyll know how it feels

pah-leeze. since when was taking illicit drugs not detrimental to your health?

maybe you don't physically see the effects, but i'm sure there are side effects on a molecular/cellular level

Undoubtedly there would be some chemical effect on your brain, body, whatever. However, it depends on each person...how they react, how it effects them, if they become addicted, if they suffer any psychosis. My opinion: If you want to try it, give it a go...but do it for your own reasons, not just because your friends are doing it. Do it in a place you know you will be safe...some people really freak out, and endanger their lives. So at home, at a friends house..somewhere where you have control of the environment. Do it with people who care about you, so they can look out for you, and vice versa.
Personally, I like the effect...I do it sometimes, once or twice a month or so. It hasn't had any psychotic effects on me, but I know it has for some people. Society places a stigma on it, but use your own opinion, instead of the one forced upon you.

Do you drink alcohol?

Man i dont see what is so bad about it. I did it on average maybe once a week, and i accelerated english and got 94 in all 4 units, and am currently top of my year (at a selective school) for 1/2 my remaining subjects.
The only thing is, they say if there is a history of psychosis in the family, smoking weed increases your chance of schizophrenia by 300%.
If not, smoke joints not bongs. :D
