Question by if i had one more day: Why do people not think marijuana is bad for them?
Before you get all judgy first let me say I know allot about chemistry (my dad is a doctor). All the kids in my grade seem to smoke pot. They say that it’s not bad for you and it’s not addictive and nothing bad can come from it. That’s not true at all. The main chemical in weed that produces the high is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. When THC is ingested, it triggers the brain to release dopamine. Dopamine kills your memory, slows your reaction time, and can cause you to make poor choices. It also can drop your IQ significantly because THC damages the hippocampus, the part of the brain that works in memory and intelligence. THC also causes the heart rate to go up by an average of 20 – 50 beats per minute, and in rare cases double. Also, depending on the location, an average of 4 – 14% of serious accidents a year were related to marijuana. Marijuana users also, statistically, have less education and less satisfaction. Marijuana is also the biggest artificial cause of schizophrenia and other psychotic diseases. It is also linked with depression and anxiety. It is also very addictive. 9% of occasional users become addicted and 50% of daily users become addicted. The smoke in pot also contains many of the same chemicals found in tobacco.
