Answers:
Well certainly if you were ever to get busted for possession that would be a problem if you were to apply.You may find that your short term memory is affected by your use. Additionally you may experience bronchitis from smoking marijuana.There is no Evidence to suggest that it is irreversible but to use at such a young age may effect your growth and development.Health Question & Answer
In a word yes it can. Right now you are only messing with pot but I have watched many of my friends end up trying other drugs as they pursued different sorts of experiences. Then there is also the legal issues that can mess up lots of options if you get put in the system( this includes student loans and scholarships). As you get older the classes will get harder and pot also will take away your drive to excel. So that will put you in danger of not even wanting to get into a good school. It also will create strife between you and your parents which will lead to bad decisions on your part. I think that the health effects can be overcame more easily by adults, but you are still developing and pot will mess up how your brain will function. You should learn how to have fun and relax without using this crutch.Health Question & Answer
i smoked pot for 8 years, at an average of 6 grams a day. ( 10 joints give or take) so far i have no negative effects i'm very healthy fit person..i consider myself above average when it comes to knowledge and intelligence..i too got straight A's in high-school, the only thing it can effect is you're work ethic, when you'd rather get stoned than do your homework, or you're too burnt out to go to class..just don't let marijuana take over your life and be your top priority and you'll be perfect. there are plenty of Very successful people who use marijuana on a regular basis. if it keeps you happy, keep on smoking friend, negative effects are a mythHealth Question & Answer
look, if i was to say to stop using i would be a hypocrite, but considering your age, your intellect and high hopes for the future, i would advise that you cut down on your use.

Marijuana is a hit or miss. Typically, it actually helps people who have ADD. But, assuming you don't have ADD, I really wouldn't think the benefits outweigh the risks.

Personally, I don't like to put toxic substances into my body because I don't have a spare. As far as effects from long term use, there haven't been any randomized double-blind studies. As an Emergency Physician I can list the things I have personally SEEN it do to people:
Pneumothorax (this is a deflated lung requiring a tube placed into the chest cavity to reinflate it - I've done this quite a few times)
Acute Psychosis - No one knows why this is the case and in these patients we checked to see if their marijuana was laced with anything. It wasn't. Many times the psychosis is reversible, but the patients had many problems (legal, health) during the episode. One case I've seen was not reversible (so far).
Cardiac Arrhythmia - This is an irregular heartbeat. May have been caused by inhaling the smoke then holding the breath. Patient got a pacemaker.
Promoters of marijuana use say many of these things cannot be proven as resulting from smoking marijuana. My take is why put something in your body that may make you do something stupid (get arrested) or has such a chance of harming you.?
You have to ultimately decide what's right for you. Just be certain you're not allowing someone else to decide your actions for you. My final point on it is a personal observation. As a doctor for the past 15 years, I've seen ALL types of people who have used drugs etc. (rich, poor, black, white, asian, hispanic, famous, homeless, public officials) and the one thing they have in common is they're looking for something in their lives and they've replaced it with the drug rather than continuing their search. Esoteric.? Maybe. But it seems to me to be the difference between reaching your full personal potential, and not.Health Question & Answer
