smoking weed

[Whatsthepoint]

I dont smoke it, never did, but - Are you sure it causes permanent brain damage? Its sometimes used in the UK to help patients who are ill. Saying that it has gone up from a Class C drug to a Class B drug in the UK.

There are several studies about the effect of marijuana, some say its good, some say its bad.
I'd definitely allow it for terminally ill, not so sure about the rest, though I think the Dutch sorted it out quite well.

Qassy bro', this guy took weed and look what he's said:

Yeah, i feel better now that im not on it. It wasted too much time and money.
I failed my school exams because of it, I almost failed my college course because of it, I've been mugged on the way to buy it. Its just overall a bad thing to get into. It made me paranoid and for nearly two years i was really terrified of eating solid foods so i survived on liquids and soft foods like mashed potatoes.

Cannabis was one of the worse things to ever happen to me.

What people don't realize is that it does do you damage. People think "Oh it wont happen to me" but it does, it effects everyone physically, psychologically and emotionally.

The best thing to do is to see how terrible it is before you've become too far into it.

I quit smoking it many times but due to the people i hung around with (other stoners), i soon fell back into my old ways so it is good to change the people you hang around with because they can influence you heavily.

Salam, yes I see your point but thats not just your freinds. I'm sure alot of people who cant follow Islam or look for a excuse say things like that.

Yes, I am certain it does cause permanent brain damage. But, the degree of damage will upon the amount and frequency used. When I worked in a psych hospital some of our most common patiants were marijuana induced psychosis.

Not just my opinion, many studies back that up, such as:

ADDENDUM:

I am just adding the drug classifications mentioned above relate to legal status and not medical termenology. For instance neither tobacco nor alcohol carry a legal drug classification, although from a medical view bot are drugs. To legal label somethng as a drug, has no bearing on it's safety as a drug, it is just a means of determining taxation and selling restrictions.

It's Haram bro, Try to stop.
Make lots of Dua that Allah puts hate in ur heart for it, n at the same time distance urself from it. Even friends who are on it, avoid them.

Greetings,

A few of the common myths have found their way into the thread:

if you take too much it can kill you

As far as I'm aware, there is no known lethal dose of marijuana. If you know of a case where marijuana was the chief cause of death, please share it.

Any substance that makes you dependent on it is Haram.

Any dependence on marijuana is psychological. Alcohol, tobacco or heroin are much more dangerous in this regard.

However, none of what I have said removes the fact that marijuana is harmful - see Woodrow's posts. It can decrease motivation and lead to memory loss and depression, among other side-effects. Not recommended.

Peace

ok i quickly read the thread and everyone says its haram cos it harms you body ok fair enough no doubt it does that, but isnt it also haram cos i dunno they ayah off my heart but its the one where Allah swt tells us about things tha intoxicate the mind, i.e drugs alcohol etc and gambling, and says how when the mind is intoxicated do not approach salah.

so here you put 2 and 2 together and get 4, salah is compulsary every believing slave of Allah swt has to perform salah, doing things and taking things that nullify or in fact God has commanded you to not perform salah cos you have done, makes it what? haram!!!

so you need to sit there and think to yourself brother, is me feeling giggly and dazed out and high out of my head going to get me salvation and the destination that every muslim should be aiming for and striving hard for or me purifying my body, mind, and soul through salah?????

 

[qassy!]

i dont know if this will help, but why dont you start smoking shisha, its smoke at the end it may prevent you from weed?

also try cutting out, if you blaze 5 day, cut down 2, 4, then 3 and so on. understand?

Yes intoxicants are haram regardless if it causes harm like weed. It says in Al Baqarah ayah 219 (2:219). And in An-nissa it says to not approach salah when your mind is befogged(4:43)
