ignore the fact that its illegal. What are the pros and cons of smoking marijuana?
Marijuana is a drug. But so is caffeine, so is nicotine, and so is sugar (an aldehyde or ketone derivative of polyhydric alcohol, which shows up as either disaccharides (C12H22O11), or monosaccharides (C6H12O6) in food). Marijuana is considered by some not to be as deadly as these three. And, there definitely are some medications that have far worse effects than marijuana. Ask any AIDS or cancer patient if you don’t believe me. What follows is what you might call clinical lore, garnered from years of experience working with people using marijuana either regularly or recreationally. ACCORDING TO USERS OF MARIJUANA (CANNABIS) pros medicinal users (and their doctors) of THC or cannabis felt their symptoms could not be treated with any other medications some regular users felt it was the same as drinking coffee or smoking cigarettes people say it relaxes them in ways other drugs cannot – for example some people preferred it to Ativan, a highly addictive anti-anxiety drug. most people said
Plenty of cons. I know several people that smoked a fair amount of the stuff years ago. Neither of them can remember from noon to 12. One of them I saw almost every day for five years back then, now he barely remembers me. The other guy is brilliant, but a slow thinker. Somedays he repeats the same old story twice, like he can’t remember he told me about his old dog’s vet bill just that morning. Not good. Most people stop smoking the stuff as soon as they have to do something responsible, like show up for work, learn calculus, or take care of a baby.
Smoking marijuana is the worst way to ingest THC which is the active ingredient of the plant that most people are looking to experience because the hemp plant also contains many carcinogenic compounds that when burnt and inhaled do damage to the human body much like smoking cigarettes. Benefits of marijuana are. • Natural feelings of expansion that correspond to favorable perceptions. • In a Costa Rican study, it was found that chronic marijuana smokers who also smoked cigarettes were less likely to develop cancer than cigarette smokers who didn’t use marijuana. Since marijuana (smoking, as well as ingestion by other methods) dilates the alveoli, toxins are more easily eliminated with cannabis use regardless of its method of application. Nicotine, on the other hand, constricts the alveoli, so it is likely that the use of cannabis neutralizes, or even overwhelms the constriction, by its own tendency to dilate. • More open and free thinking which can lead to new solutions to old problems
