THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA


The immediate effects of taking marijuana include
rapid heart beat, disorientation, lack of physical
coordination, often followed by depression or
sleepiness. Some users suffer panic attacks or
anxiety.
But the problem does not end there. According to
scientific studies, the active ingredient in cannabis,
THC, remains in the body for weeks or longer.
Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more cancer-
causing substances than tobacco smoke.

One major
research study reported that a single cannabis joint
could cause as much damage to the lungs as up to
five regular cigarettes smoked one after another.
Long-time joint smokers often suffer from bronchitis,
an inflammation of the respiratory tract.

The drug can affect more than your physical health.
Studies in Australia in 2008 linked years of heavy
marijuana use to brain abnormalities. This is backed
up by earlier research on the long-term effects of
marijuana, which indicate changes in the brain similar
to those caused by long-term abuse of other major
drugs. And a number of studies have shown a
connection between continued marijuana use and
psychosis.



Marijuana changes the structure of sperm cells,
deforming them. Thus even small amounts of
marijuana can cause temporary sterility in men.
Marijuana use can upset a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Studies show that the mental functions of people who
have smoked a lot of marijuana tend to be
diminished. The THC in cannabis disrupts nerve cells
in the brain affecting memory.

Cannabis is one of the few drugs which causes
abnormal cell division which leads to severe
hereditary defects. A pregnant woman who regularly
smokes marijuana or hashish may give birth
prematurely to an undersized, underweight baby.
Over the last ten years, many children of marijuana
users have been born with reduced initiative and
lessened abilities to concentrate and pursue life
goals. Studies also suggest that prenatal (before
birth) use of the drug may result in birth defects,
mental abnormalities and increased risk of leukemia
in children.
