Marijuana is a combination of shredded leaves, stems and flower buds of the cannabis sativa plant. Marijuana can be smoked, eaten, vaporized, brewed and even taken topically, but most people smoke it. Smoking weed might also be addicting than you think. Some people believe that marijuana is not addictive or that it’s better than other drugs. But this evidence shows that it’s affecting the brain in a way that makes it difficult to stop using it.
Here are some good and bad ways and how it influences your health
It can damage blood vessels
A minute of second-hand marijuana smoke may damage blood vessels. Rat’s blood vessels took at least three times longer to recover function after only a minute of breathing second-hand marijuana smoke. Arteries of rats and humans are similar in how they respond to second-hand marijuana smoke. With many states legalizing medical and recreational marijuana, and possible corporate expansion with the cannabis industry, and this research helps to understand the health consequences of exposure to second-hand marijuana smoke.
It Impacts short term memory
Marijuana and memory are connected in a number of ways. It’s no secret that marijuana can affect a person’s memory. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is known to impair nearly all aspects of memory. There is one exception, THC does not affect the recall of existing memories. So, marijuana users will be able to remember things like their name and where they live, no matter how high they might get. Similarly, marijuana use does not lead to memory loss or dementia.
It could destroy brain cells
We heard of the refrain “marijuana makes you stupid”. While there has been some evidence that excess cannabis consumption can lead to difficulties with learning and attention span, there is some information available to consumers that proves cannabis can actually help, rather than hurt, the brain.
