Side Effects Smoking Marijuana
Being one of the most popular recreational drugs in the world, the effects of cannabis has been portrayed in countless movies, television programs, songs, pictures and stories. While some of the portrayed effects may well be true for a variety of legal highs, the fact is that for everyone, the effects of cannabis can be significantly different to others. Here are some of the typical effects that someone may or may not experience:LethargyOne of the most common effects on most people is lethargy. Otherwise known as feeling ‘stoned’ or ‘high’, most people will feel lethargic after smoking marijuana. The THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in the drug is activated when smoked causing a numbing, pain killing effect.ApathySome people experience a sense of apathy when they smoke. This means that they feel indifferent to what is going on around them and as if they are in a bubble. For some this can be quite scary and be hard to escape from. This is likely to happen with heavy usage.HungryMany find that after they have smoked cannabis they feel super hungry. Basically research has showed that the endocannabinoids (molecules in cannabis smoke) tickle the receptors in the brain that make you feel hungry.
ParanoiaCannabis psychosis is one of the major concerns of anti-cannabis campaigners. There has been links between over use of cannabis causing a state of psychosis in some people. This can lead to serious mental health issues. This is not to be mistaken for simple paranoia which can be experienced after just a few draws on a joint. Marijuana seeds with less THC in them should help you stop this from happening.SicknessSome people when they first try marijuana feel very sick indeed. Known as a ‘whitey’ in some circles, this is due to the fact that your face loses colour as you start to feel nauseous. With repeated use this will go away but often, mixing cannabis with alcohol will make you feel sick again.HallucinationsWith strong skunk, high in THC, it is possible to experience hallucinations from smoking marijuana. Again selecting marijuana seeds with a lower THC level can help avoid this, but if this is what you want then selecting a strain of cannabis high in THC is the way to go.Excitable/GigglyOne of the most fun effects of smoking cannabis is the way it can make you not only excitable and giggly, but it can make you very chatty and relaxed enough to think and talk deeply about a range of subjects.
