Marijuana comes from the cannabis plant that people smoke or eat to get high. Cannabis was originally used as a psychoactive drug, but today millions of people throughout the world use this drug daily because of the effects it gives you. Marijuana has long-term side effects that include, but are not limited to: lung cancer (if smoked), anxiety, depression, and increased heart rate and blood pressure that can lead to a heart attack. This drug is available in every state in almost every town and in California people have started opening stores to sell “medical marijuana”.

Medical Practices for Marijuana

Many people make their living selling marijuana, because millions of users gain a tolerance to the drug and crave more and more to get the desired effects. There are some beneficial side-effects to using marijuana, because it has been known to help people living with AIDS by increasing their appetite. It also helps control vomiting, nausea, and is a great pain reliever. Marijuana should not be used unless you have a doctor’s prescription because it is illegal in the United States and has harmful side-effects if not used properly.

Marijuana relaxes a person’s body and mind and makes them feel as if they should just sit around. People have been known to do nothing but take marijuana daily and waste every day away by getting high. These side-effects can change your life in many ways and you can lose everything, because you felt the need to get high.
