Have you ever smoked marijuana? Well if you haven’t, that’s great. But if you have and are still smoking it, I would recommend you to stop. Did you know that 4% of adults in America smoke marijuana at least once a year, 1% of adults abuse it, and one in every 300 people are addicted to it? Many people smoke the plant’s dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds. There are many street names for marijuana such as weed, pot, herb, and hash, which stands for hashish. According to some recent government studies, up to as 30% of teenagers smoke marijuana. The main ingredient in pot is THC, which stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is quickly absorbed after smoking pot. THC can cause some short term effects within minutes. Some of these effects include rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased rate of breathing, red eyes, dry mouth, increased appetite, slowed reaction time, distorted sense of time, paranoia, random thinking, short term memory loss, anxiety, and depression. Research demonstrates that marijuana can cause problems in daily life.
