Marijuana side effects come from smoking or consuming the drug and marijuana side effects influence the mind and body of the user. Marijuana side effects can be as seemingly innocent as an increased appetite to as life threatening as lung cancer. Increased likelihood for accidents is also one of the marijuana side effects. Studies show that 6 to 11 percent of fatal accidents are contributed to by marijuana side effects. Other external marijuana side effects include legal problems, work and financial problems and troubles at home.

Marijuana is most often smoked but can be eaten or steeped in tea to drink. Most over-doses occur actually when the drug is eaten because it is easier to consume a large dose all at once. Marijuana side effects from an overdose include toxic psychosis including hallucinations, delusions and a loss of self-identification. When smoked, marijuana is rolled up into a cigarette called a joint or smoked in a pipe or water pipe called a bong. Marijuana has many street names like pot, hash, chronic and there are many paraphernalia available to smoke it.

Over 11 million people smoked marijuana last month. Many may not have severe marijuana side effects from taking the drug but many people will. Marijuana side effects include physical problems like breathing difficulties and deteriorating physical abilities. Despite a popular belief, marijuana side effects speed up the heart, blood and breathing rate. The body is taxed more and this speeds up the aging process just like methamphetamines do. The marijuana side effects from this extra exertion on the body include a higher risk for lung cancer, heart attacks and strokes.

Marijuana side effects also wreak havoc on the brain when the drug is used habitually. The natural chemical balance of the brain is disrupted affecting the pleasure centers and regulatory systems. The ability to learn, remember and adapt quickly to changes is impaired by marijuana use. Depression often occurs with marijuana usage, which feeds into the cycle of more drug use to treat the pain created by drug use. This cycle of addiction is very powerful and users soon find that they cannot stop using the drug even if they want to.

Marijuana addiction is a progressive disease and marijuana side effects include withdrawal and obsessive thought with the drug when it is not made available. Addiction is identified as a compulsive, uncontrollable craving for the drug even with pending negative consequences. Often users will attempt to stop smoking marijuana for an important event such as a job interview or court hearing and find themselves using very close or just before the event. This act goes beyond a flexing of willpower. This describes being enveloped by a disease that has taken control and needs to be treated.

:norris:

isn't this like the 4th or 5th one of these?

People who smoke will smoke, people who don't want to, wont.

I enjoy it from time to time and I know other members here who do as well.

There is nothing terribly wrong with weed, and you can't prove that there is.

if weed were legalized it would be the biggest cash crop in the world.

Hemp (one of the three main types of marijuana) is an awesome natural resource and can be used for most anything.

does this thread really need to go on along with the other previously existing ones?

This is a discussion, not a war. :rolleyes:

Aren't there enough threads on this same subject to discuss in?

Just seems like it's getting a bit out of hand.

This is my thread if you don't like it then leave.

hmmm funny.

Are these your forums?

No, are they yours? :garfield:

Nope, but I can fetch Wizzup if you like

uh, me personally i love smoking weed.

I'll run out with my boys and jump on some killer shit and I'll be thinking some kind of undercover agent.

Now how often does that happen?

I'm sure he'd love to see this. :rolleyes:

That article is BS. This topic infuriates me because if you would have not been immature about this you would have posted in the already well along discussion on this, but no, you are special and have to have your own topic.

And when you try to find support for your side of the argument maybe you should try and find sources that are not talking out their ass.
