Marijuana is still very
popular among our youth. |
| |
|
Today's marijuana varies in
quality and potency. More expensive, higher-quality
marijuana is generally the popular choice with club drug users. |
| |
|
Often times,
marijuana is used in conjunction with other club drugs. Also,
marijuana is sometimes laced with other dangerous drugs. This
is not always known to the user. |
| |
|
Short-term effects
of marijuana use include problems with memory and learning,
distorted perception, loss of coordination, increased heart rate,
and anxiety. |
| |
|
Long-term studies
show that marijuana use may be linked to cancer and
respiratory/immune system difficulties. |
