The Truth About Marijuana

Author: DrugRehab

Many people believe they know all there is to know about marijuana. However, most young people do not even know the simplest fact of what marijuana consists of. Marijuana is made up of the dried flowers and leaves of the Indian Hemp plant, and creates its own chemical known as THC (tetrahydrocannadional). THC is the chemical that creates the mellow feeling familiar to marijuana smokers, sometimes bringing on sleepiness and hunger.

Marijuana is the most commonly used drug in the world. It has been estimated that in 2007 14.4 million individuals in the U.S alone had smoked marijuana on at least one occasion during the previous month. Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette or out of a pipe, and at times it is mixed with food or brewed as tea.

Contrary to what many believe, marijuana is a dangerous drug that has many side effects. Because people build up a tolerance to marijuana, a person has to continue to use more and more marijuana in order to attain the desired effect, and as a result can become addicted very quickly. Marijuana is considered a gateway drug that can lead a person into illicit drug use.
