What are some bad short term things for smoking marijuana?
Short term – impaired motivation, financial costs, using marijuana as a “self-medicator” instead of effectively dealing with emotional issues, etc. Long term – increased risk of lung cancer, anxiety disorders, addiction (particularly if it leads to the use of harder drugs), the impaired motivation can turn into serious problems if its going on everyday and interfering with a person’s ability to get or keep a job, etc.
