Is marijuana bad for you?

Do you think that person would be attracted to someone who’s a slave to marijuana?
Would your life be better without it?
That said, consider marijuana a vice. Something I know a great deal about, as I’ve had many.
Ask yourself - do you want to be controlled by a vice?
Let me give you my personal recent example:
I’m not an advocate for alcoholism. It’s a terrible vice which destroys lives. But my alcoholic 85 year old uncle, wine in hand every day at 11am when the “bar’s open” is doing pretty well. I attribute his health to not having a care in the world.

I do anyway, and I’m sure you do too?
Vices also control us. They cost us money which could be put to better use, and at times they stop us finding what we truly want.
There are many vices - Alcohol. Drugs. Sex. Sugar. Coffee. Porn. Smoking. Computer Games. You Name It.

In life we need vices.
Which of the above two scenarios are you?
I quit sugar three months ago. I never realised I’d been a slave to sugar for over 40 years. Most people never realise that, but it’s an incredible feeling to be free of it. Imagine how elated I feel when I see someone stuffing their face with sugar like a right junky?

As a researcher and scientist I’ll sum up most pros and cons of marijuana as terribly drawn conclusions which prove very little, often biased, nothings.
Is it better to be STRESSED not smoking marijuana, or to smoke marijuana and live a stress free life?
This may or may not be the case. I won’t judge.
Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?
But, if you feel you need it, you feel it’s harming your health, or other aspects of your life, just think about how much better your life would be without it.
For most of us, vices give us the simple pleasures which help us get through the days, and I’m old enough to know life is more about simple pleasures and less about accumulating huge amounts of wealth and dying young from a stress-induced heart attack.
Let’s jump to a conclusion:

If marijuana gives you happiness, and you’re not a slave to it, then sit back, relax, and don’t worry about it. You’re a grown up, and you can make that choice.
My guess is probably not, so in that sense it’s bad. If it affects your work, libido, relationships, friendships, or any aspect of your life which could be better, then yes - you should probably consider marijuana bad in that sense.
Ok, let’s say you’re single.
