Good reason not to smoke it?

Although there are some allergic reactions to marijuana, and occaisional odd side effects reported, its hallucinogenic effects occur somewhat all the time to everyone using it. Bad trips occur to hallucinogens. While there could have been a respiratory or cardiac terrible event, an hallucination of one is really really more likely (espeically if there wasn't any heart symptoms, no funny/irregular/rapid heart beats, no chest pain, no drenching sweats, no passing out, no shortness of breath, etc. etc.)

Worsening of psychiatric illnesses , even starting schizophrenia or triggering bipolar illness occur from marijuana.

Mainly, if it isn't any fun why do it?
