Don't Smoke One

    
by Jalen Y.

Many people say that marijuana is the best thing they've ever had, but is it really? Many people smoke marijuana because it can enhance certain abilities in their bodies. The drug can enhance certain abilities in the body and can give you energy to do things but that doesn't take away from the bad things it can do to your body. People that smoke marijuana tend to inhale deeply and hold their breaths which exposes the lungs to more carcinogens that may lead to cancer. Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, a person's heart rate speeds up, the bronchial passages relax and become enlarged, and blood vessels in the eyes expand, making their eyes look red. The heart rate, which is normally 70 to 80 beats per minute, may increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, or may even double in some cases.  Long term use of the drug can lead to addiction, increased risk of bronchitis, anxiety, and depression. Why would you take a drug that can potencially ruin your health just so u can have fun? This drug controls your body and turns you into a puppet. Do u really want something controling your every move?  

 Rehabilitation

There are many ways to get help for marijuana abuse. The best place you should go for drug abuse is a rehab. Rehab will walk you through the steps that are needed to beat the addiction. Some of the long term effects of marijuana are reduced resistance to common illnesses, suppression of the immune system, growth disorders, increase of abnormally structured cells in the body, reduction of male sex hormones,
rapid destruction of lung fibers and injuries to the brain could be permanent and reduced sexual capacity. Rehab can help with these problems. Go to your local hospital for more information.
