What are the side effects of marihuana?
For Sativa dominant strains patients may notice an increase in energy levels, increased focus and subjective changes in consciousness. For Indica dominant strains there are side effects such as drowsiness and decreased focus. Although euphoria is the more frequent effect of smoking marihuana, undesirable mood reactions can occur. Usually these adverse reactions occur in inexperienced users after large doses of smoked or oral marihuana. The effects usually disappear within hours and can be countered with reassurance and a supportive environment. Smoking marihuana has many of the same risks as smoking tobacco. It is important to consider the increased risk of lung disease when choosing to smoke your medication.
