Marijuana filled pages of newspapers, on the one hand is mentioned as a drug somehow light and innocuous, is overlooked or minimized its effects on physical health, mental and social. Insidiously mention that alcohol and snuff more damage.
Actually in the last 20 years the brain biochemical re-search is inconclusive about the lasting effects on behavior and sickening.
We will disclose various data that confirm these assertions:
1 – Each marijuana cigarette is composed of over 800 chemicals. It has various carcinogens, including benzene. The tar yield is 10 to 20 times more than the one with the cigarette (responsible for bronchitis, emphysema and general destruction of lung tissue). Marijuana is 6 to 7 times more carcinogenic than snuff.
2 – The marijuana plant comes CANNABIS sativa of Asian origin whose active ingredient is the tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC). At present the so-called “joint” has a 18% average content of THC. In 1960 when investigations were made to doubt the harmfulness of marijuana, Porro, did not exceed 1 or 2% of this substance. Today the drug is 18 times more powerful. From these studies emerge legalization initiatives in fact marijuana today is much more powerful and affects all brain neurochemical circuitry.
3 – Marijuana (THC) “loves” human fat and this happens because it is a fat soluble drug. Only dissolved in body fat and has a hard time getting rid of it. This makes the half-life in the body, lasts longer than other drugs that are water soluble. In this case falls apart, it soon as for cocaine or alcohol. THC accumulates in fatty tissues.
