The Effect of Smoking Cannabis on the Body
Scientists all over the world note the negative effect of smoking cannabis on the human body. First of all, the nervous system and, accordingly, the psyche experience a negative effect. When using the drug for the first time, as a rule, a feeling of euphoria arises, which is accompanied by relaxation throughout the body. But if the dose is increased, then, on the contrary, increased excitability, irritability, and even aggression are observed. In addition, after some time, with regular smoking of cannabis, thinking abilities are significantly impaired, a person perceives and remembers information worse. Psychoses often develop, panic attacks are not uncommon, as well as a state of anxiety.
A negative effect of cannabis smoking on the respiratory system is also noted. Most often, chronic bronchitis, pharyngitis develop, and malignant neoplasms of the lungs are also encountered. The cardiovascular system of the smoker also suffers: the heartbeat and pulse quicken, blood pressure rises. It is especially dangerous to use cannabis for people suffering from arterial hypertension. In some situations, this can cost the addict his life.
In addition, one can observe the effect of cannabis smoking on the reproductive system of both men and women. In the body of a man who uses cannabis, the process of testosterone production is disrupted. As a result, sexual desire and potency decrease, the number of sperm decreases, and their mobility deteriorates. In women, smoking cannabis disrupts the ovulation process.
The effect of smoking cannabis on the body of a pregnant woman is especially dangerous. In this case, the unborn child also receives its share of the poison (and, moreover, on an equal basis with the expectant mother).
In some countries, cannabis is freely available, and it is used mainly for medicinal purposes. But since the line between the permitted use of this plant and its abuse is thin, it is prohibited in our country. In addition, the current criminal legislation provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for the cultivation and use of cannabis. Such a measure once again emphasizes the social danger of drug use, the harmful effects of smoking cannabis on the human body, and is aimed at preventing the spread of this bad habit.
