Effects of Consuming Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana is a very controversial drug mostly in the USA where the government and the common people argue whether to have it legalized or not because of its possible effects to the body which some people believe to be destructing. Marijuana is a drug smoked mostly by Americans, and most of these marijuana users have a relevant history in alcohol addiction. Marijuana comes from a hemp plant called cannabis sativa, the scientific name of the plant.

 

When smoking marijuana, people use cigarette joints and pipes. However, when people go to pubs, they just mix marijuana to their foods and drinks because when smokes marijuana produces a distinctive smell which can be easily traced by the police officials. If you get caught, then you could be imprisoned.

 

Marijuana has an effect to the human’s brain because of its active chemical element called THC. If the person smokes marijuana, the chemical element goes to the lungs which will then be carried by the bloodstream going to the brain and all other parts of the body rapidly. THC automatically disables the signals of cannobinoid receptors, a side of the brain; thus, a series of chemical cellular reaction takes place resulting to person’s “high” state. From then on, the person’s state of mind alters. The thought, feelings and concentration is also highly affected.

 

Aside from the brain, the heart rate also gets affected resulting to an increase of 30-100% after a minute of consumption. This state could for 3-8 hours depending on the amount of dosage taken. So, if you consume large amount of marijuana for long hours, it could result to chest pains or worse, heart failure.
