Title: Is Marijuana Useful or Harmful

Unbelievable Ways How Marijuana Has Been
Used

Marijuana
This is a long debated question and honestly,
many people take the fence on this one. Almost
everyone in the United States and most of the
world has relatively easy access to marijuana. It
is seen at petty crime and not even too serious.
In fact, it is so not serious that the Government
of Colorado and Washington State decided to make
it legal. In this article, we will look at only
the health benefits and the health problems
caused by marijuana and what you should do and
when you should take if at all. We will not be
looking at the economic and the social aspects
which in itself is a lot to consider! Why its
good
Well, marijuana is available medically meaning
that it is given as a treatment for some
conditions. Marijuana has the active ingredient
called THC or tetrahydrocannabinol which acts on
some receptors in the brain and makes you feel
less pain. Before we start talking on the good
and the bad, I would recommend everyone to take
medical advice from a doctor whether marijuana
consumption is advisable or not. Marijuana is
used in treating glaucoma which is a condition of
the eye where there is increased pressure in the
eyeball. Other than these, Marijuana also
produces a feeling of euphoria and a sensation of
slowing of time. This effect of marijuana varies
from person to person and can be positive in some
people or negative in some people. This means
that some people enjoy these effects and some
people do not.

Marijuana has an anti-emetic action and is used
to prevent nausea and vomiting. It also helps in
migraines, asthma, itching or rashes. Looking at
all of that, you must be thinking well that makes
Marijuana look pretty good! This is half the
story, let us look at the evil side of
marijuana. Why its bad

Marijuana
You might have heard the adage, too much good is
bad. Why would marijuana be an exception right?
Well here are a few of the problems with it. It
might cause short term memory loss which is
temporary and stops when you stop taking it.
Short term memory means that you do not remember
a short set of numbers like a 5 digit number. And
it can cause lung diseases just like smoking
does. Also, marijuana burns at a much higher
temperature than normal smoking and this can lead
to cancer.
It can cause mental illness in young adults and
also lead to increased violence in them. This may
be partly due to the illegal ways used to obtain
marijuana. Using marijuana for a very long time
can lead to addiction which causes problems even
in relationships. This is evident when someone
likes to stay alone to smoke up and avoids family
to do so. The addiction is the biggest problem
with marijuana. Excessive use can also lead to
depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies. So,
If you know someone who is addicted to marijuana,
then I would highly suggest you to take him to a
doctor who will prescribe him proper medication
or any rehabilitation. If going to a doctor is
not economically feasible, or you do not have
proper medical facilities near-by, then you can
avail online medical advice or online medical
consultation from eminent doctors worldwide who
will help you out with your problem.

Marijuana
So when should you take it?
I would recommend any body to only take marijuana
when they have a severe chronic illness such as
cancers or irritable bowel syndrome or any
disease that is not getting treated with
medication. In such cases, marijuana can be
considered to be better compared to the downside
of the side effects. Most people in severe pain
throughout the day will not mind not remembering
their ATM pins sometimes or where they parked
their car. But, remember to avoid getting
addicted and control the amount that you take.
Taking just the right amount is crucial for the
marijuana to work for you rather than against
you. I hope this article was informative. For
