Effects and Causes of Smoking Marijuana
Smoking any drug has never been appreciated because it causes several health issues.
Teenagers get influenced towards smoking and abusing different drugs including marijuana.
Smoking marijuana increases the chances of heart attack five times more than the normal
chances, which means that a person who smokes marijuana is always close to death because
heartbeat rate increases within no time, which leads to heart attack (“Health Effects Of
Marijuana Use”). Teenagers get attracted towards it when they look at someone smoking it, or
they feel that it is cool to smoke when they are young and later they get addicted to it. Health
should never be compromised because if human is not healthy, he cannot live a happy life.
Earlier, there were restrictions and availability of such drugs was difficult. Now, as the time has
changed, these drugs are easily available, which causes smoking marijuana and smoking
marijuana has bad effects on the human health and brain.
Smoking marijuana is not legal in many states yet but people manage to get it through
dealers. The question is that what makes people smoke marijuana? Why are people so attracted
towards smoking marijuana? The answer is very obvious that some people consider that
marijuana helps them getting relief from depression and stress that is always surrounding them
in their routine lives. As the ratio of depression is increasing, the ratio of marijuana smokers is
also increasing. Another reason of increased ratio of marijuana smokers is the easy availability
of marijuana because it is easily available in the states where it is legal and people can easily
import it from there. There should be some law implemented on the import and export of
marijuana.
Marijuana causes several health effects, which lead to other major diseases. Human
health is affected by the extreme smoking of marijuana as it causes several chemicals which
