What affect does pot have other then making you high?!

there are actually a lot of effects of taking weed (pot), which is funny cause a lot of the people who do it, think that it's harmless!.!.!.
the main ones that i know about are:

memory - people are likely to have a weaker memory (short term memory) and be more confused in general

asthma- more likely to get worse

skin - more likely to be spotty and/or dry

food - they're more likely to feel more hungry or else feel unable to eat!.!.

sick - people who do a lot, as in excessive usage or a really large dose are probably going to get very ill and actually vomit and maybe get a bit delusional and start seeing things that aren't there, although i don't think it lasts more than a week!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't see dying as a major concern with smoking pot!. Or becoming extremely sick!. Other long term effects on the human body, such as developing breast tissue in men, has been reported, and there has been much said about becoming addicted to pot even though the general population says that that does not happen with marijuana!. The professional literature tries to convince us that it is a physical addiction, but in all my 20+ years as a mental health professional, now retired, which included significant studies on alcohol and other drug abuse and dependencies, I'm still not convinced that a physical addiction occurs!. I think some "researchers" tried to extend the definite psychological addictive possibilities into the physical arena, but, after extensive study on my part, I think their arguments are very weak in that regard!. A very strong sense of lethargy overtakes the individual who continues to use the stuff, which is only a continuation of the short term effect!. There is so much to read, some of which is valid research and some of which is pure nonsense!. If you do read or "research" the issue, follow the old adage, "Don't believe everything you read"!. Be very discriminating in your reading and believing since there is so much politics in "research"!. But long term illness and death are NOT issues to be concerned with!. Now, with alcohol, those are DEFINITELY issues to be concerned with, but not with marijuana!. God Bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Marijuana has been known to be one of the most used recreational drugs!. It's physiological effects is similar to that of smoking a cigarette, it would inevitably cause some problems in the lung area but has not been known to cause physical dependence or have a physically addictive nature!. Like any other drug it reacts to the neurotransmitters in the brain which induce the feelings you get when you are high!.

With regards to short term memory loss, research has shown that it does not have any long term short term memory effects!. At the same time if you smoke marijuana all your life then inevitably the memory deficits would show up more often than an individual who smokes pot occasionally (and may experience those effects when high)!.

No one has died from marijuana to this date - this does not mean it's okay to take advantage and smoke yourself to a stupor, but I've also read up and learnt a lot about marijuana use - google the topic learn about it and other illegal drugs it's good to be aware of the effects of any type of drug once it ends up in your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
