Marijuana can impair thinking, memory and learning for weeks after use. It produces a range of psychological and physical effects that can be unpredictable at times. It can relieve pain, control nausea and increase appetite. Marijuana typically gives a high, or feeling of well being, which is why it abused. But marijuana can also cause acute psychosis, or a temporary break with reality. Marijuana-induced psychosis happens more often in new users or in people prone to mental illness.

Marijuana can cause short-term memory and learning problems, dry mouth, impaired motor skills and red eyes. Within minutes after smoking marijuana, the drug increases the user’s heart rate. Heart rates can double in some cases, which is a risk for people with certain heart conditions. Some people may feel relaxed after using marijuana; others may develop anxiety and paranoia. A person’s reaction to the drug partly depends on the individual, the strength of the marijuana used and whether the person ate or smoked the drug.

Yeah, I ask a question and you just turn on the hellfire. That sounds a bit unbalanced itself.

I’ve NEVER had pot. But I do like to think I have reason and a bunch of unrelated agitprop isn’t a reason to abandon reason.
