    Marijuana(weed) Smoking weed has many adverse effects on health-
    # Marijuana smoke contains carcinogens (substances known to cause cancer). Because smokers tend to inhale the drug deeper and for a longer time than a cigarette smoker, it amplifies the amount of smoke entering the lungs. This can result in respiratory problems, chest illnesses and blocked air sacs.
    # While Smoking weed, the THC quickly enters the lung and settles into the bloodstream, transporting the THC into the brain and into the body's organs, often causing a user to feel a certain euphoria. This also results in a distortion of the brain causing difficulty in problem solving, impaired coordination and issues with learning and memory lapses.
    # It can also lead to addiction.It affects their work,personal and social life. Those who abuse the drug continuously seek the drug in spite of the disturbances it produces in their work, home and social life.
    # Chronic marijuana smoking can result in a disturbed mental state. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there is an increased link between marijuana use and depression, suicidal behavior and schizophrenia. A younger person who abuses marijuana is at a greater risk of developing mental health issues, especially if she has been exposed to stress or violence.
    So its better to stop smoking..
