Marijuana has been medically linked to: 1) Permanent Memory and Brain-Structure Changes: According to a 2013 study done by Northwestern University, heavy users who started in their teens developed "Abnormal Brain Structure and Poor Memory": http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2013/12/marijuana-users-have-abnormal-brain-structure--poor-memory.html Other studies have linked THC (the active chemical in Marijuana) to disrupted activity in the Hippocampus region of the Brain, where "working memory" is thought to take place. 2) Appetite: In another study performed in 2011 by the University of Alberta in Canada, THC has also been shown to affect the hypothalamus, where appetite is controlled: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110222192830.htm While this can be seen as a "benefit" for some, does everyone really need to be stuffing themselves? 3) Perception of Time: In another study performed in 1999 by Duke University Medical Center (Department of Psychiatry and Radiology) researchers found that blood flow to the cerebellum was altered in several of the test subjects. Among other functions, the cerebellum has been linked to an "internal timing system" (the cerebellum controls motor-function and coordination, and is thought to have a role in attention and language). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9666122 Original article: "What Does Marijuana Do To Your Brain And Body? THC Interacts With Memory, Time Perception": http://www.medicaldaily.com/what-does-marijuana-do-your-brain-and-body-thc-interacts-memory-time-perception-273366 How does those three effect of marijuana compare to the effects of alcohol?

Paul covers the general subject well: Rom. 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ... 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way. ...14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. ...22 Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. You can't get high in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take MJ for one reason: To get high. In order to keep getting high, you have smoke more and more and more. Either that, or increase the potency. That purpose defeats any notion of smoking it in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked around potheads and drug addicts for nine years in automotive reman. Not a single one of them wasted their money on MJ not to get high.
