Why is it dangerous?
Smoking marijuana mainly affects the brain. A person high on marijuana experiences tell – tale symptoms including loud talking and laughter, sleepiness, eyes irritation and distorted sense of time intervals and forgetfulness. Marijuana causes memory problems, affects our ability to think, increases heart rate and anxiety. Marijuana smoke mainly contains the same cancer causing compounds as tobacco, but only in higher concentration. Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per week may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.
