Mentally, perhaps. The most commonly reported effect of smoking marijuana is a feeling of tranquility, relaxation, and an almost total inability to become excited. When a smoker has a problem and he turns to marijuana, the problem seems less bothersome, less troublesome. So, as long as a person stays "High, their worries stay away. Unfortunately, when the effects wear off, the problem is still there, and usually bigger than before. So he reaches for anotner joint, and the cycle becomes even more vicious. Also the human mind and body need the ability to become excited in order to survive. The processes caused when adrenaline surges throught the bloodstream provide a keen alertness and sensitivity to potentially dangerous situations that could, if uncorrected, lead to injury or death. If marijuana Is not addictive, whats so bad about using It? First, the act of smoking marijuana involves introducing a foreign substance into the only body you are ever going to have, and until the effects of the chemicals involved are fully understood, abstinence is a good idea. Second, we live in an extremely complex world, one that requires the full attention of all our faculties. Walk into the wrong situation with your head "screwed up, and you may not walk out. Third, and from a policemans point of view, most importantly, it is against the law. An arrest stays with you long after any sentence the courts could impose has been served. Get caught and you will pay for the rest of your life, and thats a fact, not a threat. You'll find educational doors closed, employment opportunities withdrawn, and futures severely limited. Thats a pretty big price to pay for a few minutes of "high." Some advice from someone who has seen what an arrest record can do to a young person's future . . .

Some Questions and Comments What is It? Marijuana is the popular name for a plant. Cannabis sativa, also known as hemp. The plant has been known and used for centuries as both a potent drug and as a strong fiber. The fiber has long been used in the manufacture of fine linen as well as canvas and rope. The seeds are valued as bird seed and the oil, which resembles linseed oil, is valuable because paints made with it dry quickly. Marijuana is also the common name of the drug prepared by drying the leaves and flowering tops of the plant. The leaves and tops contain several members of a group of chemicals known as the cannabinols. One of the cannabinols, or THC, was for a time belived to be the major active ingredient; the role of THC in the marijuana experience, however, is now in question. Under the name Extract of Cannabis, marijuana was once widely used medically in the United States, and it still has minor 'medicinal uses in other countries. Though sometimes classed as a (LSD-lik- e hallucinogen drug), marijuana is in fact unique, both chemically and in psychological effect produced. Hallucinations are not a common effect of the drug, but (like alcohol hallucinations) a sympur-o- f overdose. Is it better to smoke pot Instead of tobacco? Probably, since marijuana is usually smoked on a less frequent basis; simply stated, you don't smoke as many marijuana cigarettes as is common with tobacco. However, the smoke from marijuana has an extremely effective drying effect on the mouth and respiratory system, the result of which is not fully known. And since the smoker is drawing the fumes from a smoldering plant into his body, it is a lot like asking if it would be better to hit yourself in the head with a big hammer or a small one. How long do the Inhaled chemicals stay In a persons system? The body is constantly renewing itself throughout a person's life. Marijuana residue will be completely expelled through natural processes in about two to four weeks. No physical effects should Physically, no.
