Marijuana

Marijuana.

It may be one of the most discussed controversies of the decade. There

have

been many different contradictions between the two sides, pro-marijuana and

anti-marijuana.

Also, many statements have a derogatory basis towards marijuana use.

But

on the other hand, marijuana has many positive aspects. In this report, all

the different

areas and stipulations will be examined. I feel that the best

place to begin with is the

basics. So as basic as it can get: What is marijuana.

Marijuana

is an Indian hemp plant. It.s botanical name is .Cannabis Sativa.. A

chemical

compound unique to this plant is THC, which is psychoactive. Psychoactive

means

it is something that alters mood, perception, thought process, and consciousness.

When using marijuana, you get an effect of being .high.. When a person

is .high.

or .stoned., they get, in the first phase, a good, stimulating feeling,

enhancement of the

body.s senses. Some say it helps them to appreciate things

better, like art, music, food,

and sex. There is also a raise in heartbeat

and in happiness. The second phase is said to

be a more sleepy relaxed feeling.

Marijuana may also cause unpleasant feelings including irritability, anxiety,

and

other effects. It can also effect such senses as attention, mood, perception,

memory,

thinking, and reasoning. Though you only get these effects while

being high. These are

the short term effects, not the long term effects.

After getting .high., the body converts the THC into different chemical

compounds.

And you have a feeling of being tired and hungry.

Contrary to popular belief,

smoking tobacco is less healthy than smoking

marijuana. There is no proof

of serious health or sexual problems, but it can stunt growth

in adolescents.

Marijuana is smoked or eaten to produce the feeling of

being .high.. Marijuana is

smoked by the ritual joint rolling with cigarette

paper, through a pipe, or it can be smoked

through a bong. A bong is a device

used to inhale marijuana. Bongs come in many

different shapes, styles, and

sizes.

Hemp is little white seeds which come from the marijuana plant. It

can be used for

making many different products including paper, cloth, rope,

etc. Hemp seeds can be used

for cooking and seasoning too. It is used in

making oils and in baking. .With it.s

purported cholesterol-lowering properties

and it.s new age hippie connotations, hemp

could very well be the oat bran

of the nineties.. – (Robin Raisfeld, source 5, pg. 83) Hemp

is also an appetite

stimulant. Hemp seeds can make cheese cheesier, and cookies chewier.

Hemp

is a good additive for a vegetarian lifestyle.

Marijuana use has been one

of the major topics of many drug and non-drug groups.

The history of marijuana

use dates back to 3000 B.C. when the Chinese used it as an

esthetic. It was

also used by other countries for muscle spasms, pain reducers, and to treat

indigestion.

.As early as the year 1211, marijuana was cultivated for it.s fiber in

Jamestown,

Virginia.. – (Jack Medelson, source 3, pg. 87-88) It was also used for

medical

practices. Then in 1941, it was illegalized by the government, though it is

still

used as medicine in the middle east and Asia. Even George Washington

grew marijuana.

In all this time from past to present, marijuana has been

used for recreation. Marijuana

use, while still being illegal, was spreading.

It spread right to the united states

counter-culture. Then by 1972, research

finally started after years of anti-m
