Marijuana is made from the cannabis plant and contains THC, which causes the "high" feeling. It is usually smoked like cigarettes or in pipes. Marijuana affects areas of the brain associated with pleasure, memory, and time perception. Short term effects include euphoria, increased appetite, rapid heart rate, and red eyes. Withdrawal symptoms can include insomnia, hyperactivity, and decreased appetite. Long term risks include paranoia, fatigue, immune system issues, and behavioral effects on children exposed prenatally. However, marijuana also has some potential medical benefits such as helping with nausea, spasms, and AIDS symptoms.

Marijuana 2015
Marijuana refers to the dried leaves and flowers from the Cannabis Sativa plant, which contains the psychoactive chemical THC. It is most commonly smoked in joints or pipes, but can also be consumed in food or tea. Short term effects include altered perception and increased appetite, while long term use may negatively impact memory, learning, and lung health. Although it is addictive for some long term or teenage users, many argue that its medical uses for reducing pain and nausea from conditions like cancer outweigh potential negative side effects. Currently, 23 states have legalized medical marijuana, while 4 have legalized both medical and recreational adult use.

Marijuana is a mixture of dried leaves, stems, seeds and flowers from the hemp plant that alters the mind when consumed. It has been used as an agent to achieve euphoria since ancient times. While it has potential medical uses such as treating Alzheimer's, cancer and HIV/AIDS, smoking marijuana carries health risks like increased heart rate and lung irritation.

Drugs, group work
Drugs can be broadly defined as any substance that alters normal bodily function when absorbed into the body. The document discusses several specific drugs:
- Marijuana's main active chemical is THC, which causes feelings of euphoria. Heroin use increases risks of infectious diseases, overdose, and physical dependence.
- Depressants lower arousal levels and include drugs like heroin, which is metabolized into morphine in the body.
- With prolonged use of drugs like opioids, tolerance and physical dependence can develop as the body needs higher doses to achieve the same effects. Regular heroin use can also lead to health issues like constipation and decreased kidney function.

Marijuana refers to parts of the Cannabis sativa plant that contain the psychoactive compound THC. It is commonly smoked or consumed in edibles. While some states have legalized it, marijuana can have both short and long-term effects on the brain and health. It may be addictive for about 30% of users, especially those who start using it as teenagers. While most users do not progress to harder drugs, marijuana may increase the pleasure of other drugs and could be a "gateway" for some. There is debate around both sides of its legalization.
