). Drugs 💊💉 today has become one of the most challenging negative effect on the street of our youth today. Drugs like weed, Tramadol, alcohol and other more have actually changed us from who we are to some thing we don't know of but one of the most used drugs is weed(🌿Herb). First of all one will ask what is herbs and why do people take it. Herbs are green propagated plants generated from the lands of India name as Indian herbs.
WHY DO PEOPLE USE HERBS.
Back the days when herbs were discovered they first used it for medication, treatment of so many disease like an eye disease call
- Glaucoma, which increases pressure in the eyeball, damaging the optic nerve and causing loss of vision.
*it can help control epileptic seizures.
*it also helps in decreasing Anxiety.
*it dry eases the of multiple Scleroses.
*it also treat Inflammatory bowls diseases.
*it improves the symptoms of Lupus, an autoimmune disorder.
with all the above mentioned been some of the merits of marijuana on individual and the society it also has a lot of demerits on every individual taking it.It's 4/20. For those not in the know, "4/20" is the unofficial holiday for pot smokers and marijuana legalization activists around the world to celebrate by lighting up on April 20.
The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim traced the term back to 1971. A group of California high school friends, known as the "Waldos" used "4/20" as a code word to refer to the time of the day when they would smoke outside of school.
This year, for the first time, residents of Colorado, Washington, and Uruguay can celebrate the day with legal recreational marijuana.
The plant, best-known for its "feel-good" effects and touted for its uses for multiple diseases, can also be damaging to our bodies and minds.
The high you get from marijuana mostly comes from a chemical called Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC, which is found in varying potency in different strains of cannabis.
Most of THC's effects happen in the brain, where the chemical interacts with receptors on brain cells called cannabinoid receptors. Our bodies actually make chemicals very similar to THC, which are used in normal brain function and development. THC co-opts these natural pathways to produce most of its effects.
*it causes red eyes:The traditional red eyes of a marijuana user — Visine anyone? — come from blood vessels expanding in the eye.
*it leads to dry mouth and lebs:One uncomfortable effect of smoking weed is dry mouth or thirst.
The common side-effect, equivalent to the feeling of having a bunch of cotton balls shoved in your mouth, is not just the result of inhaling hot smoke. It turns out cannabinoids receptors are located where our saliva is produced. When these receptors are activated by cannabis use, they inhibit the production of saliva.
*it robs you to sleep:There are five stages of sleep, which get progressively deeper as the night goes on. The first four stages are called rapid eye movement, or REM. THC, the main active chemical in marijuana, has been shown to interrupt the later phases of REM sleep, the point during the night that is most crucial to making the body feel re-energized when you wake up.
*most risky of it all it can disturb u mentally which is getting you mad or out of you sense to do things that are not accepted by the society, acts like steeling, rip cases, disobedience of the elderly even to an extend of causing violence which is very bad.
*it also blocks your memory formation:The active ingredient in marijuana acts in the part of the brain called the hippocampus to alter the way information is processed and how memories are formed. Animal studies have shown that this is particularly true while the brain is still developing— specifically why the legal smoking age is 21 in the states that have legalized it.
This blockage of memory formation can cause cognitive impairment in adulthood if use happens during adolescence, at least in rats. It can also quicken age-related brain cell loss, though marijuana has been shown to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
this are just a few to mention to we the your out there let SAY NO TO DRUGS and meet our brighter future.
