Marijuana/Weed has been made legal here in California and now some people think they can just smoke it with out risks. Well, that is not the case and these are the facts. Weed can make you a huge addict and has some side affects while you are under it. The symptoms you could have.
- Trouble thinking and remembering
- Bloodshot eyes
- Dry mouth (cotton mouth)
- Increased appetite (the "munchies")
- Fast heart rate
- Slowed coordination
While people think this is what "getting high" is about, they are wrong. These symptoms can lead to serious diseases. Ongoing marijuana use has been linked to lung changes, memory loss, and a number of other health problems. Changes in lung usually can cause lung cancer and memory loss is a bad thing for most people.
Weed should not be legal because many people take it as an excuse to smoke it. If the government doesn't stop weed from coming to the U.S many people will die from it.
