There is nothing morally wrong,as far as I'm concerned.
BUT there are some serious health concerns with even casual use:
Marijuana smoke is several times more carcinogenic than tobacco smoke.
There are also strong correlations between marijuana use and damage to male chromosones (source;The Lance,study done about 25 years ago)
There is also an anecdotal correlaltion (among doctors) between heavy use and brain aneurisms.
Do I care if you you smoke your brains out on the drug of your choice? No, not really, I'm just being pedantic.
Is this one of the studies http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...084701.htm?
"The PI values for light and moderate marijuana users improved over the month of abstinence. There was no improvement for heavy marijuana users. The light users smoked two to 15 joints per week. The moderate users smoked 17 to 70 joints per week, and the heavy users smoked 78 to 350 joints per week."
Fucking hell that is a lot, I smoked a bit 2 years ago. But that would be maybe 1-3 joints a month containing maybe 1g of weed which I also split with 2 others.
