Recreational Marijuana: How Does it Impact Health?

Marijuana is the most widespread mind-altering drug in the USA, which is illegal in some states, but Egg Harbor Township has legalized it for medicinal & recreational purposes. According to research, approximately 35 million Americans consume marijuana every month, rendering it a street drug in the country. Other names for marijuana include pot, weed, and dope. 

People often utilize the terms “cannabis” and “marijuana” interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. Egg Harbor Township recreational cannabis means all the products originated from the Cannabis sativa plant, and it contains more than 500 chemical elements.

On the other hand, marijuana refers to the products from the Cannabis sativa plant containing elevated amounts of THC, which makes you feel high. It has been reported that in 2021, 35.4% of people in the age group 18 to 25 were using marijuana. So, how does it affect health? Let’s delve in!

The Effects Marijuana Provides

Marijuana possesses a wide array of effects that differ according to the person and their strength. The higher quantity you use, and if it’s for a prolonged time, the more THC consumption will give you the maximum “high” effect. In brief, marijuana can impact your:

• Judgment ability
• Mood
• Thinking power and solving issues
• Memory
• Reaction time
• Coordination

However, daily use of marijuana might lead to:

• Trouble understanding and thinking
• Obsession or marijuana use disorder
• Memory loss
• Alteration in the brain structure
• Trouble at school or work

Symptoms of Using Marijuana

The leading effects of marijuana use include:

• Amplified appetite.
• The feeling of euphoria and relaxation.
• Coordination loss, which makes driving a car difficult.
• Maximum sense of hearing, sight, and taste.
• Inaccurate sense of time.
• Trouble thinking and problem-solving that affect safe driving.
• Depression or panic attacks or being highly dubious and skeptical with maximum focus. However, it doesn’t always happen because people often use marijuana in the correct quantity to cure anxiety.

The signs of marijuana use are the following:

• Being giggly and ridiculous without any reason
• Dizziness
• Having bloodshot eyes
• Trouble walking
• Having a challenging time remembering things that just ensued

The person can get sleepy when the drug’s effect fades away within a few hours. Some long-term marijuana users who smoke the drug daily might have repeated and unrestricted vomiting, which is known as cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. If they take a hot bath, they often feel good. But most of the individuals need medical treatment to wear off the marijuana’s effect.

Different ways to take marijuana and how they affect you

Smoking is one of the best ways to consume marijuana. When you smoke from a pipe, joint, or bong, the released heat contains active chemicals from the plant, which you inhale. Despite smoking, marijuana comes in other forms, too, which are the following:

• Dabbing – It’s the new technique to consume marijuana, where you heat & breathe in highly concentrated cannabis oils where the THC amount is 80%. This method gives an intense high.

• Vaporization – Identical to an e-cigarette, a vaporizer heats dried marijuana and emits a vapor. It contains other cannabinoids and THC but sans the harmful smoke. It’s unexplored if this technique is less hazardous to the lungs than smoking marijuana.

• Edibles – You can prepare edibles like brownies or cookies that include marijuana. It is also supplied as an oil, pill, or tincture for oral use.

Conclusion

Recent New Jersey state laws and news stories have shown the probable medical advantages of marijuana and its recreational or casual use. But these don’t apply to teens and children. This substance is both psychologically and physically addictive, and approximately 9% of adults and 17% of teens get addicted, according to a recent survey.
