    not particularily no. its like drinking, for most people it only lasts as long as the high lasts. Most people [except me] have mood swings anyway, something you pick up on when youre permanently happy :)

    All drugs have their risks, both short term and long term. Long term cannabis use has been known to casue respiratory problems, even lung cancer among some users.

    In terms of psychological long-term problems, there is conflicting research. Some reasearch suggests it can seriously impede memory and attention span and even cause psychosis.

    But whether this is the case with all people and low-key users is still up for debate.

    May I be right in assuming that your a teenager still living at home, if so then your mood swings are much more likely to do with the strange things your body is doing at the moment.

    THE TALE OF TWO HASHISH-EATERS (Traditional)
    From 1001 Arabian Nights


    There was once, my lord and crown upon my head, a man in a certain city, who was a fisherman by trade and a hashish-eater by occupation. When he had earned his daily wage, he would spend a little of it on food and the rest on a sufficiency of that hilarious herb. He took his hashish three times a day: once in the morning on an empty stomach, once at noon, and once at sundown. Thus he was never lacking in extravagent gaity. Yet he worked hard enough at his fishing, though sometimes in a very extravagent fashion.

    I just know that I was a right bastard to my parents for no real reason for about 5 years when I was a teenager, I smoked puff all the time and flunked my exams, learn from me children, otherwise you'll end up like me.
