I know someone that has been smoking since 1994. It got so bad that if he buys 10 wraps, he will chain all of them one after the other. He has lost jobs, wife has gone, everything is just upside down. He has been struggling to stop for the past 10 years. Make God help una. 2 Likes |

I'm not impressed. Real junkies make the best decision on-the-go with joints. I'm still scavenging, touring and voyaging my way around for success like every other person, but what differentiates me from you and them is POT. I'm a calm guy. I don't sway with the crowd. Friends best me and people say my countenance is gentleman-like. Those who hate me only do because I give less attention to snitches. Bros, weed dey condition guymen. It's not called #wisdomgrass for nothing. Stop raising unnecessary argument. The downside is that, it's not for kids. Smoke wisely bloodas!!! 3 Likes |

Physical Effects
Breathi Physical Effects
Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and people
who smoke marijuana frequently can have the same breathing
problems as those who smoke tobacco. These problems include daily
cough and phlegm, more frequent lung illness, and a higher risk of
lung infections. Researchers so far haven't found a higher risk for
lung cancer in people who smoke marijuana.
Increased heart rate. Marijuana raises heart rate for up to 3 hours
after smoking. This effect may increase the chance of heart attack.
Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk.
Problems with child development during and after pregnancy. One
study found that about 20% of pregnant women 24-years-old and
younger screened positive for marijuana. However, this study also
found that women were about twice as likely to screen positive for
marijuana use via a drug test than they state in self-reported
measures. This suggests that self-reported rates of marijuana use in
pregnant females is not an accurate measure of marijuana use and
may be underreporting their use. Additionally, in one study of
dispensaries, nonmedical personnel at marijuana dispensaries were
recommending marijuana to pregnant women for nausea, but medical
experts warn against it. This concerns medical experts because
marijuana use during pregnancy is linked to lower birth weight and
increased risk of both brain and behavioral problems in babies. If a
pregnant woman uses marijuana, the drug may affect certain
developing parts of the fetus's brain. Children exposed to marijuana in
the womb have an increased risk of problems with attention,
memory, and problem-solving compared to unexposed children.
Some research also suggests that moderate amounts of THC are
excreted into the breast milk of nursing mothers. With regular use,
THC can reach amounts in breast milk that could affect the baby's
developing brain. Other recent research suggests an increased risk of
preterm births. More research is needed. Read our Marijuana
Research Report for more information about marijuana and pregnancy.
Intense nausea and vomiting. Regular, long-term marijuana use can
lead to some people to develop Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.
This causes users to experience regular cycles of severe nausea,
vomiting, and dehydration, sometimes requiring emergency medical
attention. ng problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and people

Sighs!! I started weed smoking during my first year in the university, and then graduated to codiene and refnul, through the aid of pear group. It really affected my academic a lot as I graduated with a 3rd class in Mathematics/CIS in a private University. And then after I graduated, my family members then started noticing this habit in me, I then decided to put a stop to it which I'm still in the process because I'm from a very deep Christian background with my Dad being a head of a church and my mum a deconess, but she's late now. Due to this reason, I couldn't stand seeing my dad getting depressed by this act of mine because he loves me so much, so I had to stop it and then try to focus on going in for my masters through pgd. my smoking level rose to an extent that I can't eat unless I smoke some marijuana. It made me so depressed Haven graduated with such a low degree, but what got me strong a bit was that my dad was ready to sponsor my MSc. and I have a great talent in music. as people often love me whenever I'm singing. I'm told that I'm excessively talented, so my plan is to go into the entertainment Industry after my NYSC and during my MSc. part of my prayer is I hope God helps me so I can completely stop the herbit forever. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I started smoking everything smokable from my secondary school days. When I got into uni, it was no new thing to me, and mind you......I started indulging out of curiosity and not peer pressure...I didn't learn from nobody and nobody taught me. That made me to be incharge of this habit....could easily stop whenever I wanted and start again whenever I feel like. When I decided to stop, I stopped abruptly without knowing the health implications. I suffered Withdrawal Syndrome Symptoms for 3month......cold,fever,headache,mood swings and many other things just because I didn't withdraw gradually. But as e be shaa, I no dey smoke again.....and I go say your own smoking na childs play compared to mine. I stopped cigarette first though....which is more addictive. Wetin I dey try talk be say, weed works differently with everybodys body system, I go just talk say e no good for your body. I know many people that smoke and are still very successful....if we start to dey count, list go long. So I disagree with you when you say weed makes you lose focus and reasoning.......that was you and not the weed. I still ask my self why I stopped but can't get an answer because nobody pressurised me to stop,it was just a decision that I took and I'm happy I did. But I wouldn't remove the fact that I'll still hit a good blunt one of these days before I go 6ft. 6 Likes 1 Share |
