THE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA USE

Researches find that habitual use of THC or marijuana sometimes causes special types of cancer and some respiratory and immune system disorder.

Cancer

It is not yet proved that whether this drug is directly related to cancer or not. Although, it is a known fact that marijuana has some amount of the cancer-producing chemicals that are found in tobacco smolder, and sometimes the amount is found to be more. The harmful chemical intake by smoking of five joints per day is equivalent to smoking a full pack of cigarettes.

Airways and Lungs

The cigarette smokers who suffer from some typical breathing problem are also similar to marijuana smokers like breathlessness and coughing. The users easily catch more colds of the chest than those who don’t use. Also they are more prone to lung infections such as pneumonia and other diseases.

Immune System

Tests carried on animals prove that THC harms the tissues and cells that help defend against various diseases. If the immune system is damaged a person becomes more vulnerable to diseases.

The temporary impacts of marijuana are:

• Difficulty learning and remembering

   

• Hazy insight

   

• Distress while cracking problems and thinking

   

• Motor synchronization is lost

   

• Faster heart beat
