ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA

Marijuana is derived from cannabis plant. The process of usage is not really a complicated one. Primarily, it begins from a process of drying completely, then grinding it into small bits.

Then users will then decide either to use a pipe or cigarette. Some people also take marijuana as edible foods which are known to have THC also known as Tetrahydrocannabinol.

THC is the major ingredient in marijuana which is responsible for the high effect. Marijuana is not legal in all countries and one of the reasons for this is its addictive qualities.

The major reason why people take marijuana is because of the accompanying high effects that comes with it. It has been medically proven that marijuana helps in relieving pain and stress. But just like opiates, it has been abused to a great extent.

People who abuse or are addicted to marijuana are often less productive than usual. They find it difficult to focus on work even if it is theirs or not. So, with time, they are forced to resign because they are not meeting up to expectations.

Moreso, marijuana has been found to disrupt the normal functioning of the brain especially when it is abuse or there is an addiction in motion.

The brain would be modified to operate in a different way because the normal wiring has been tampered with. However, if the individual stops taking marijuana, the brain would return to normal in due time.

Another effect of marijuana is impaired health. The individual would develop other medical complications. The reason for this is, marijuana lessens the effectiveness of the immune system, so the individual becomes more susceptible to diseases than before.

In addition, there is a tendency for aggressiveness to set in. The individual would react to any little issue in a hostile manner that is beyond usual.

It would also be difficult for the person to learn new things, and recollecting would also be herculean. All these and more are likely to be experienced if marijuana is used on a regular basis.
