Marijuana Addiction
Marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit drug in the U.S. It is a dry, shredded green and brown mix of flowers, stems, seeds, and leaves derived from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. The active chemical is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol; THC for short.
Marijuana is usually smoked or mixed with food. When smoked the THC in marijuana, rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body.
THC is a neurotoxin, a poison that damages the brain and nerves. Marijuana damages the lungs, nerves and brain. Research has shown that marijuana’s adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off.
