The Negative Side of Marijuana

What they don t tell you

The first time I had tried marijuana I was 15. I had previously told myself I would never try it and that drugs were just plain idiotic. But when that joint was passed to me I took my first hit not knowing what marijuana could really do to me. The high feeling lasted about two hours and I was semi-proud that I had been high for the first time. I felt like it was a milestone. But I came down from that high and instantly felt sick and tired. I laid in bed for a couple of hours not really realizing what was happening. My friends laughed and told me it was normal to come down hard from a high like that. Weeks passed and I began to smoke more and more. Within a few months it was all I ever wanted to do. I began to date a drug dealer. Not only was he in trouble with the law all the time but he was also abusive. Still I stuck by him because I was smoking marijuana every day for no charge. I finally had enough when he hit me so hard that he gave me a black eye. I was 17 and didn t need to be treated that way. I instantly found a job so that I could support my habits. I was barely passing any of my classes barely ever sleeping and not eating right. I was always sick not to mention I had become very promiscuous. I didn t care about anyone or myself. I started slipping slowly into a depression and when life was hard I just smoked another joint. When I didn t want to go to work or school I just smoked a joint. That s the way we lived. We never went anywhere or did anything because we were too high. About eight months after my 18th birthday I had my first anxiety attack. I was out of high school not in college and I had no plan for my life. When I graduated my grades were so bad that no four year university would even take the time to look at them. My life was ruined. I decided I was going to quit smoking and it was the best decision I had ever made. Marijuana causes anxiety it doesn t cure it. It also causes depression. It made me make some really stupid decisions. I am no longer the bright young girl I once was. I am now the girl that works her butt off in community college because she can t get a scholarship to a university because she decided to get high and ruin her chances. Smoking weed can t kill you on impact like other drugs but that doesn t mean that it can t hurt you in the long run. Facts you may not know about marijuana The drug when smoked increases the chances of lung cancer and other smoking related illnesses. Leads to loss of motivation in all areas which can be incredibly detrimental to careers and other important life areas. Loss of short-term memory is common-- heavy users often forgetting to do things on daily basis. Distorted perception sights sounds time touch Problems with memory and learning Loss of coordination Trouble with thinking and problem-solving Increased heart rate reduced blood pressure Increased anxiety fear distrust or panic Hallucinations Delusions Impaired memory Disorientation Daily cough and phlegm production More frequent acute chest illnesses Increased risk of lung infections Obstructed airways One more important thing marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers usually inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer. One study found that marijuana smokers were three times more likely to develop cancer of the head or neck than non-smokers. Many researchers believe than smoking marijuana is overall more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco reported About.com. Every time I attempt to talk to a marijuana user about its negative effects I always get shut out. How naive can you be to not take a look at what you are putting in your body? So next time your friend passes you that joint stop and think-- it might save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
