Health Problems Caused by Marijuana Abuse
Experts say that the pot available on today’s marketplace is more potent than ever and has high levels of THC. Continued use of powerful marijuana can cause the user to experience disturbing psychological problems.
Marijuana is known for memory loss. Studies have shown that people who use weed on a regular basis have ongoing memory issues.
THC moves from your lungs into your bloodstream and throughout your body. Within minutes, your heart rate may increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute. That rapid heartbeat can continue for up to three hours. If you have heart disease, this could raise your risk of heart attack.
In people younger than 25 years, whose brains have not yet fully developed, marijuana can have a lasting impact on thinking and memory processes. Using marijuana while pregnant can also affect the brain of your unborn baby. Your child may have trouble with memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
