Question

I would like to get information on marijuana, and the effects that it have on your body?

Answer 1

Its a natural plant that grows and the buds can be smoked or eaten to get a relaxed high,,
It has been used in the past like an asprin,ibuprophen,pain killer,nerve pill,to help aid in eating disorders,can also help with sleep.
Its stalk is used to make ropes,(because the fibers are so strong and durable,,)and alot of jewerly is also made from hemp..
Several states in america,allows it to be used as a medical drug.Many cancer paitents are prescribed this drug to help them,it has almost no side affects,u can Not overdose on it,,unlike many drugs today,fda approved,,(people even died from asprin overdose!)
As far as side effects,,,no major ones..(dry mouth,)
Its kindda like drinkin one or 2 beers,,,but u have better control of ur body and dont forget what u done,,it affects people differently,,some may get dizzy or smoke 2 much get a headache.
The reason its not legal is because think of it,,,if we can grow our own asprin,,sleep aides,,pain killers,,nerve pills,,the drug companys would go broke in the u.s.and of course politicans who own stock in them.

Answer 2

Marijuana is a drug created from the cannabis plant which grows naturally but is also cultivated and grown for the purpose of selling. Marijuana is most commonly smoked because it is the fastest way for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana to get you high. The effects of marijuana can range from light to intense depending on the quality of the marijuana, the amount smoked and the smoker's body chemistry. The general effects of marijuana include: a mental or emotional "high," disorientation, paranoia, hunger, and drowsiness. Marijuana is one of the safest illegal drugs because it is impossible to overdose. The possible negative aspects of marijuana smoking include legal trouble, lung problems (research is inconsistent in whether or not it increases lung cancer chances), short term memory loss and the possibility of doing something regretable while under the influence. Other dangers include accidentally buying marijuana with other chemicals or substances added to it.

If you're going to do it, try it in a safe controlled environment with someone you trust who has experience with it.
