A lot of people try beer, cigarettes or weed for the first time just to do like their friends or to look cool. Is it really cool to take drugs? Yes marijuana as a drug even if a lot of people don’t regard it as been on.
Like all drugs, it brings you dependence and side effects. But the worse thing is that it’s quite often the first step for regular drug user. A lot of people try weed first before going to other more dangerous drugs.
But if we just stick to what problems come with marijuana, they are more then the popular belief. Smoking weed, especially on regular basis makes you become chemically dependant.
What about the side effects?
They are various and numerous: anxiety, depressing feelings, sleeping problems, nausea, memory problems, lack of concentration, the well known paranoia and few other things.
Prolongated use makes you lose interest in activities, sport, school and people and therefore go become and feel more and more isolated
When you want to quit you have withdrawal problems due to the addiction. The most common is insomnia that can last from few nights to few months. Then come the depression the anger the and the nightmares. Dreams where you use marijuana are common and considered normal and part of the recovery process. But don’t worry all these symptoms will be soon just a bad dream.
The best way to avoid all this is to do not try on the first place. If you think it looks cool now you won’t later when you will suffer from the addiction symptoms or when you will try to quit. Cool or not now you know the risks!
