The Harmful Effects of Marijuana
Different methods of taking the drug may affect your body differently. When you inhale marijuana smoke into your lungs, the drug is quickly released into your bloodstream and makes its way to your brain and other organs. It takes a little longer to feel the effects if you eat or drink marijuana.There is ongoing controversy around the effects of marijuana on the body. People report various physical and psychological effects, from harm and discomfort to pain relief and relaxation. 

Marijuana can be used in some states for medical reasons, and in some areas, recreational use is legal as well. No matter how you use marijuana, the drug can cause immediate and long-term effects, such as changes in perception and increased heart rate. Over time, smoking marijuana may cause chronic cough and other health issues.

  • 1% of young people aged 12-17 reported current marijuana use in 2013 (NSDUH, 2013)
  • 4 million people aged 12 or older tried marijuana for the first time in 2013, averaging to about 6,600 new users each day
  • 6% of them were introduced to the drug prior to age 18 (NSDUH, 2013)

There is a Marijuana Intervention Program (MIP) uses a harm reduction approach and is designed to:
  • Promote a non-judgmental environment to help you explore your marijuana use
  • Reduce risky behavior and harmful consequences of marijuana use
  • Identify changes that could help you reduce your risk
  • Provide important information and skills for risk reduction
  • Encourage students to reduce and/or stop marijuana use 
            

Marijuana is bad for your health and you should be doing it. It has a lot of effects on your body that are bad.

Always try your best. You should never give up on something you want to accomplish or achieve. For example, Tyler got kicked out of his team when he was in 3th grade. He decides to work harder to get better. He did get better he later on went to Brigham Young University. He made a big impact on the basketball winning. He broke the record of shooting in basketball in the whole school. So as you can see everything good you do will pay off. An example for this would be life you want to become a teacher.
