Marijuana

Dating back between 10,000 and 3,000 BC to present day, Marijuana has been a much loved medical and recreational drug. There are many myths about marijuana, but the facts are that when marijuana is put in the body by smoking a “joint”, water pipe, blunt, eaten in a dessert such as a brownie or cookie, or even used as an extract, that it causes “mental and physical effects, such as a "high" or "stoned" feeling, a general change in perception, euphoria (heightened mood), and an increase in appetite. Onset of effects is within minutes when smoked, and about 30 to 60 minutes when cooked and eaten. They last for between two and six hours. Short term side effects may include a decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, red eyes, and feelings of paranoia or anxiety.”
