The effect of drugs on the mind & body

Hello people, today's blog post is about the effect of drugs on the mind and body, Surprise at the end.

Marijuana, weed, pot, dope, grass. They’re different names for the same drug that comes from the cannabis plant. You can smoke it, vape it, drink it, or eat it. Most folks use marijuana for pleasure and recreation. Regardless of the number of people living in a dwelling, no more than 12 plants can be grown per residence. The plants must also be grown and stored safely in an enclosed area, which only authorized adults can access. Individuals will be allowed to carry only 14-grams of dried cannabis in a public space. The 14-gram rule applies to the amount of cannabis an individual is allowed to purchase in a day. 


Who is involved…


A Lot of people smoke Cannabis and a lot of them are 16 and older. According to the United Nations, 158.8 million people around the world use marijuana which is more than 3.8% of the planet's population.


What are the laws and penalties?


The maximum penalty for possession of cannabis is imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or a $500 fine.


What are the positive and negative outcomes?


A positive of smoking Cannabis is that Cannabis contains Cannabidiol (CBD) which is a chemical that impacts the brain, making it function better.


Another positive


The main psychoactive ingredient, THC, stimulates the part of your brain that responds to pleasure, like food. That unleashes a chemical called dopamine, which gives you a euphoric, relaxed feeling.


A negative effect 


If you vape or smoke weed, the THC could get into your bloodstream quickly enough for you to get your high in seconds or minutes. The THC level usually peaks in about 30 minutes, and its effects may wear off in 1-3 hours. If you drink or eat pot, it may take many hours for you to fully sober up.


The thing that influences people to do drugs is their friends, family members, and other people they know.



3 Strategies to get of it:

One: Going cold turkey basically what you do is lock yourself away and game or sleep but make sure you can't get out but people can get in so you can still eat and go to the bathroom.




Two: Slowly stop smoking as much as you normally would.


Three: Go to rehab
