effects of marijuana
(ProQuest Platinum- Marijuana's Effects: More Than Munchies)
points I found relevant to my topic:
- used for pain relief, nausea and loss of appetite in patients with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other terminal illnesses.
- forgetfulness is a side effect- too much of a good thing
- estimated 70 million Americans have tried marijuana.
- use in teens can block social development
- just because the consequences aren't s severe as other drugs, it may still be addictive
- rarely can you become dependent on the drug
- ingredients in marijuana are very similar to certain receptors in our bodies
new or interesting vocabulary:
- endocannabinoids- chemical compound found in your body that resembles organic ingredients in marijuana
questions I still have:
- what is so bad about it?
- why is it illegal?
