Marijuana

Marijuana is the most used illegal drug in the world. It is a dry mix of flowers, stems, and leaves of the plant Cannabis Sativa. Marijuana is usually smoked in cigarette rolling papers, cigar papers pipes and water pipes. People also use it in food and even to brew tea. Marijuana has a chemical called THC. When smoked the THC passes from the lungs to the bloodstream, which is then entered in the brain and other organs. When THC arrives at the brain, it start to take over some nerve cells that affect; coordination, memory, concentration, sensory and time perception, pleasure and even how you think. This cause people to be “high” on marijuana.

Whoever smokes Marijuana can experience short-term effects such as; start to think in a slower pace and has trouble solving simple problems. While on the effect the stuff you did at that time you could forget them but only for a short-term. Your body will become relaxed and you won`t coordinate yourself properly and you can even misunderstand people when they talk to you. Marijuana does not have a long term effect such as other drugs but it can still harm the brain and some vital organs. I hope this Blog helps to stop drug use all around the world.
