Question on Weed?

How do you do weed like what are the ways and how do they turn into pot and stuff? Are there any differences? Im not doing these just wondering because of health class.
Answer:
you pick the buds of the cannabis plant and dry them out. Once it is dry, you can smoke it or eat it.

would also like to debunk the lady who responded earlier

Myth: Marijuana is Highly Addictive. Long term marijuana users experience physical dependence and withdrawal, and often need professional drug treatment to break their marijuana habits.

Fact: Most people who smoke marijuana smoke it only occasionally. A small minority of Americans - less than 1 percent - smoke marijuana on a daily basis. An even smaller minority develop a dependence on marijuana. Some people who smoke marijuana heavily and frequently stop without difficulty. Others seek help from drug treatment professionals. Marijuana does not cause physical dependence. If people experience withdrawal symptoms at all, they are remarkably mild.

Myth: Marijuana is a Gateway Drug. Even if marijuana itself causes minimal harm, it is a dangerous substance because it leads to the use of "harder drugs" like heroin, LSD, and cocaine.

Fact: Marijuana does not cause people to use hard drugs. What the gateway theory presents as a causal explanation is a statistic association between common and uncommon drugs, an association that changes over time as different drugs increase and decrease in prevalence. Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the United States today. Therefore, people who have used less popular drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a gateway drug.

Myth: Marijuana's Harms Have Been Proved Scientifically. In the 1960s and 1970s, many people believed that marijuana was harmless. Today we know that marijuana is much more dangerous than previously believed.

Fact: In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated. Since then, researchers have conducted thousands of studies of humans, animals, and cell cultures. None reveal any findings dramatically different from those described by the National Commission in 1972. In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."

Myth: Marijuana Kills Brain Cells. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

Fact: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

if you have more questions, just ask

if you want to stay away from something, stay away from alchohol, it kills brain cells, your liver, causes cancer, and i can go on and on without ever being debunked
Look, it's illegal but even if it was not illegal; it is just plain bad for you. I am older now and I was a child of the 60's and 70's and I cannot tell you the people I knew and know that got ruined over smoking marijuana and by smoking pot. If you don't go on to something stronger and you smoke it regularly; then you become a weed monkey unable to hold a job or think you get paranoid and it is all sorts of bad for your brain.

If you go on to something stronger then you die.
Weed is pot,marijuana,hemp,ghanja,toke... and any of a number of other slang words.Marijuana is cut off at the groung hung upside down and dried like tobacco so the cannebinals run to the tops or buds and make it more potent.Then it is rolled and smoked or crumbled into brownies,you can chew it like chewing tobacco,eat it plan.If you don't clean out seeds of bud or the tops it will give you a headache when you smoke it.Hope this helps.
-marijuana simply has many names like any other drug such as:
*pot, weed, reefer, dope, hashish, broccoli, puff, mexican green, jane, etc.

How it is used:
*usually smoked; smoking with papers, or pipe
*can also be mixed with food and eaten, ex.brownies
I usually burn weeds in an incinerator but sometimes they go onto the compost heap and they break down that way.I find that Dandy lions are particularly difficult to get rid of but,if you dig down close to the tap root you can get it out but the soil has to be quite wet to do it.I hope this is enough information for your health class.If my answer is incomplete read over%26over what REnate has to say about it
Weed is smoked by rolling it in a paper or through a pipe. The marijauna plant is grown in several countries from rural areas to the largest cities. Pot is just a slang term for marijauna.
just want to say, "great answer, joshua b." i vote it best answer on this question. very true, very intelligent.
