Marijuana Addiction Overview - Effects of Marijuana

By: M Porteous

Marijuana is one of the most commonly used illegal drugs in the United States. Over the years the usage or attitude toward this once called "calming medicine" has remained relatively consistent. Because the negative effects of Marijuana are a slower process many teens and adults alike believe that the habit is, just that a habit, that they can stop at any time. Unfortunately, after just a period of use it can turn into a psychological addiction that is much tougher to kick. Read on for more information about the negative effects and how to tell if you or someone you love is addicted to Marijuana.

Effects of Marijuana

Individuals commonly smoke Marijuana in tools known as a bong, smoked as a joint, or a filled cigar known as a blunt. Depending on the person and their experience with the drug, the effects can be very different. Some people will feel high, relaxed or jittery while others remain relatively unaffected. Most Marijuana users feel an overtaking feeling of hunger and/or thirst. That is the reason that the term Marijuana munchies was born. This high or altered state is generally short lived and the user must smoke again to retain this feeling. There are a relatively small percentage of Marijuana users that experience extreme anxiety, or paranoia, which can be very dangerous because their mental state and judgment is affected. Under the influence can cause physical aggression, clumsiness or increased risk taking behavior. There are many accidents seen in the emergency room every day related to the smoking of Marijuana.
