Marijuana- Narconon Warns of Marijuana Abuse.

Narconon Warns of Marijuana Abuse

Marijuana: Right behind caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, marijuana is the most commonly used psychoactive (mood-altering) drug in the United States. It is estimated that 70 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once and 11.1 million Americans are current users. The average age people start smoking marijuana is under 14 years. Marijuana's scientific name is Cannabis Sativa (the hemp plant), and it grows wild in temperate and tropical climates. Most wild marijuana is considered inferior to cultivated marijuana because it contains a low concentration of Delta -9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Narconon warns that cultivated marijuana contains ten times the THC of wild marijuana. THC is the primary mind-altering agent in marijuana and is highly concentrated in the flowering tops and upper leaves of the female plant. Twenty-five percent of the marijuana consumed in the United states is domestically grown. Major producers of marijuana include Alabama, Hawaii, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and California. The growing marijuana plant normally has an odd number of leaves per stem, such as five, seven, or nine, and can grow up to twenty feet high. When prepared for use as a drug, marijuana consists of dried and crushed leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds. In small doses, marijuana acts as a sedative. In larger amounts, it can cause hallucinations. The cannabis plant contains more than 430 chemicals. Many of these chemicals severely affect the user's health. The potency of marijuana varies, depending on the type and part of the plant used, and whether it has been treated with other chemicals. Dealers may treat marijuana with PCP, fentanyl nitrate, or embalming fluid to increase its potency. Doctored marijuana is extremely dangerous.

i am a high school student that smokes pot everyday and have been 4 a while and i can say that most of that stuff is not true for me at all or a lot of the kids i hang out with that smoke.

[narcononofga]

Thank you for your comment. The point being, smoking anything is not healthy.

Interesting video, however, it clearly does not emphasize the fact that all those drugs, legal or not, are harmful to one's mental and physical health. Thank you again for the link.

This video is all a bunch of ignorant lies. I am not lazy. I learn new things each day. I smoke Cannabis.

[abnormalmindset]

Cannabis is SAFE!!!

[HylianSpirit]

This is complete and total disinformation.

"Marijuana makes you lazy"

YEAH. So doesn't "Good medication" that causes "drowsiness; do NOT operate heavy machinery"

"Marijuana makes you not want to do the things you have to do."

Completely false. That depends totally on the individual person, and how much motivation they have.

"Addicting"

Not quite. A person cannot become physically dependent on Marijuana, much like they could "good medication". Although it CAN become a habit.

I don't smoke MJ, but as a member of the scientific community I would strongly urge the statements being made in this video be more closely scrutinized. Labeling a drug "good" or "bad" is a matter of opinion. Most "bad" drugs started off as "good" drugs once they were isolated in the hopes they would be used for clinical treatment. Even "E", Heroin, and LSD were used in clinical environments. Mislabeling of drug classes and ignorance has led to many a step backwards in pharmacology. /pewpew

its all about the amount of smoking weed... example: u cannot compare a married couple drinking a bottle whine while dinner with a bum drinking 5 bottles of whine in an hour. got the meaning?! same with mariuhana and every other drug. everything is about the amount and regularity!

[HappyGlassGuy]

You would have a stronger argument if you didn't use words like "good drugs" and "bad drugs". Who are you to say whats good or bad? Seems a bit arrogant if you ask me. Like anything there are two sides to the story. People need to realize this and stop parading their ignorance around like truth.

[BPimpShorty]

Haha you don't even smoke the leaves...get your facts straight and get laid so you'll stop being so up tight.

[PamelaS82]

Wow Mr. Big Penis....so, you think smoking all that dope is what caused that? You're brain cells are definitely destroyed. If Marijuana were legal, I believe it would help people that smoke it not to go to worse drugs. Because eventually, you are going to run into a dealer that sells way more than just pot and when you get bored with that, you will start slowly destroying your life by choosing to try something new.

[sepiasilence]

i smoke it, i run my own property business and have a huge penis, so kids "just look at people who use it"

[NikoKun]

Just remember... Not all "use" is "abuse".

If fact, most isn't.

Only the percentage of people who have addictive tendencies, which is relatively small, are at risk from abusing a drug which is no more addictive than Caffeine, and no worse harm than alcohol.
