Marijuana Addiction

     Marijuana comes from the plant Cannabis sativa. According to WebMD “most people smoke the plant's dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds.” Also, it can be ingest through food by preparing them with it or inhaled by vapor.  The effects only last a few hours. This drug is also called as “weed”, “pot”, “grass”, etc…

     This drug just like alcohol if it is used in large amount without any control will affect your life. However, not only your body will be affected, but also your responsibilities. Therefore, it will affect your family, jobs, among others. On the other hand, by consuming it once or as prescribed, does not mean it is harmful. However, if it affects your life as I mentioned before, it is definitely a problem.

     Some people said along with alcohol and cigarette it is the first step of a path which will lead to consumption of stronger drugs. For example, cocaine could be the next step. This happens due to tolerance of the effects of the previous drug. Therefore, changing to a stronger one will cover the effects once more.
