| The Effects of Dope |
| SHORT TERM Marijuana helps to make people feel more relaxed, with a sense of euphoria. It also lessens social inhibitions, so you make lots of new freinds when your stoned!! It can cause hallucinations (is that neccaserily a bad thing?) It can make you sleepy, and makes it a bit hard to keep track of time sometimes. Impares driving ability, so dont drive if your stoned!! Sometimes you get hungry after smoking pot - the munchies!! LONG TERM People say dope is addictive but compared to most drugs the addiction rate with marijuana is very low about 9% compared with 32% addiction rate to nicotine. There is little scientific proof that marijuana use will lead to the use of harder drugs, so claims that it is not neccesarily a gateway drug. There is no conclusive evidence to prove that marijuana causes cancer or any other life-threatening diseases. Nausea, loss of appitite, pain and anxiety can be mitigated by the use of marijuana. Some scientists belive that marijuana use can lower sperm counts in men. Legalising marijuana is unlikely to cause an increae in users, just less people in prison for using it! |
