Some have reported cannabis is bad for mental and physical health. They say smoking pot kills brain cells causing permanent brain` damage. People become lazy and non-motivated becoming a damper on society, but people do so with choice not because a plant says so. Pot is a door opener to other drugs. Growing up children are taught marijuana is categorized with heroin, cocaine, and other hardcore drugs.
