Marijuana use will effect you how?

The active ingredient in marijuana is THC. That's short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

THC is rapidly absorbed after smoking pot. Within minutes, THC and the other substances in marijuana smoke cause short-term medical effects.

Signs of using marijuana include:

  • rapid heart rate
  • increased blood pressure
  • increased rate of breathing
  • red eyes
  • dry mouth
  • increased appetite, or "the munchies"
  • slowed reaction time

These effects are reduced after three or four hours. However, marijuana hangs around in your system for as long as 24 hours after smoking. The lingering effects mean you're impaired for several hours after the high wears off.

The main psychological effect of smoking pot is euphoria. Getting high or "stoned" is the reason most pot smokers use marijuana.

Other short-term psychological effects of pot include:

  • distorted sense of time
  • paranoia
  • magical or "random" thinking
  • short-term memory loss
  • anxiety and depression

These psychological signs of using pot also generally ease after a few hours. But residual effects can last through the next day.

The use of marijuana does not directly effect weight gain, or cellulite. There is a causality postulated by some that marijuana usage results in slothfulness and therefore weight gain, which can cause cellulite. Cellulite is caused by problems with the connective tissues and the expansion of fat cells inside the body and marijuana does not directly, or indirectly effect these connective tissues.
