Latest research suggests that smoking marijuana through a 'bong' (water pipe) is a very harmful way of smoking marijuana. Sucking on the 'bong' forces the smoke deeper into the lungs. This exposes more of the lungs to tar and harmful toxins without increasing the effects. Plastic bottles when used as 'bongs' also give off harmful by-products.

Marijuana smoke is very similar to tobacco smoke, however it contains even more of some of the cancer-causing agents than tobacco smoke. Marijuana smokers also tend to inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in the lungs longer, therefore increasing the risk of damage to the lungs. If a marijuana smoker is also a tobacco smoker or mixes the tobacco with marijuana, the health effects are more damaging. Mixing marijuana with tobacco can result in the added problem of nicotine addiction.

Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 80 million Americans.

Regular marijuana use can also lead to a decrease in sperm count, as well as increases in abnormal and immature sperm.

A.) Just as in Males, marijuana effects the female in the part of the brain that controls the hormones, which determines the sequence in the menstrual cycle. Its been said that females who smoked or used marijuana on a regular basis had irregular menstrual cycles Also, he female hormones were depressed, and the testosterone level was raised. Even though this effect may be reversible, it may take several months of no marijuana use before the menstrual cycles become normal again.

A.) Researchers have found that THC changes the way in which sensory information gets into and is acted on by the hippocampus. This is a component of the brain's limbic system that is crucial for learning, memory, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivations. Investigations have shown that neurons in the information processing system of the hippocampus and the activity of the nerve fibers are suppressed by THC.

A.) Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have. These individuals may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke.

Facilitated by the large surface area of the lungs' air sacs, cocaine administered by inhalation is absorbed almost immediately into the bloodstream. It takes only 19 seconds to reach the brain. However, only 30 to 60 percent of the available dose is absorbed due to incomplete inhalation of the cocaine-laden fumes and variations in the heating temperature. Crack smokers achieve maximum physiological effects approximately two minutes after inhalation.

Yes. Marijuana contains more tar than tobacco; is inhaled deeply and held in the lungs longer; is smoked to the end where the tar content is highest; and contains cancer-causing substances. However, since studies are difficult to do in marijuana smokers and since many of them also smoke regular cigarettes, it is hard to prove a definitive link to lung cancer.

A week after smoking cannabis only 60-70% of the THC has left the body because it is stored in the body fat. It takes about 4-6 weeks before THC is undetectable in the blood.

While all of the long-term effects of marijuana use are not yet known, there are studies showing serious health concerns For example, a group of scientists in California examined the health status of 450 daily smokers of marijuana but not tobacco.

Drugs of abuse may interfere with proper nutrition and rest, which can affect good functioning of the immune system.

In general, smaller babies are more likely to develop health problems.

Tobacco smoke has a drying effect on the skin surface. Smoking reduces the amount of blood flowing to the skin, thus limiting the amount of oxygen and important nutrients available to the skin. Skin damaged by smoke has a greyish wasted appearance. Smoking also results in a yellowing of the teeth and is a cause of halitosis (bad breath).
