Many people smoke marijuana because their friends do or because it helps them relax. ChaCha on!
The "high" that users experience when they smoke marijuana is the reason people smoke it. Some people smoke it to relieve pain.
Most young people smoke marijuana because their friends or brothers and sisters use marijuana and pressure them to try it.
Some people feel they need marijuana and other drugs to help them escape from problems at home, at school, or with friends. ChaCha
The simple answer is because they feel nice after doing so. Cannabis use has become a cultural thing also, much like alcohol, which is why you see people talking blindly and ideologically about the use of cannabis without realizing the same could be said for a substance they use personally. Many of these people have just been told it is a black and white issue, drugs are bad etc. The reality is cannabis is used for the same reasons people drink, and it is deplored and denounced by others for the same reason Muslims do not drink: Because they were told its bad and punished when they questioned that authority.
i think that smoking is bad for you. we can stop it is you just say no. you are in control, so why not take the wheel of your life and drive it ti where you want to be. many people smoke because of preasure or to make them self feel good. MANY people die from smoking. we dont have time so drop the cigarettes and find yourself a life.
