Marijuana Drug FactsMarijuana is a green or gray mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. There are over 200 slang terms for marijuana including pot, herb, weed, boom, Mary Jane, gangster, and chronic. It is usually smoked as a cigarette called a joint or a nail or in a pipe or bong. In recent years, marijuana has appeared in blunts, which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana, often in combination with another drug, such as crack. Some users also mix marijuana into foods or use it to brew tea. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. In 1988, it was discovered that the membranes of certain nerve cells contain protein receptors that bind THC. Once securely in place, THC kicks off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana. The short term effects of marijuana use include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem-solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks. Marijuana is virtually the only drug licit or illicit that is not water soluble, with the result that its metabolites not the drug itself stay in the system far longer than traces of other drugs. This means that if a person used marijuana two weeks ago his urine is more likely to test positive for it than if he used cocaine two days ago. It is obvious then that marijuana use is much more readily detected than the use of hard drugs, which has the perverse effect of encouraging hard drug use. Is this really what employers want No, but it is quite clear that this is what the government wants. Some studies and marijuana test facts show that when people have smoked large amounts of marijuana for years, the drug takes its role on mental functions. Heavy or daily use of marijuana affects the parts of the brain that control memory, attention and learning. Smoking marijuana causes some changes in the brain that are like those caused by cocaine, heroin and alcohol. Scientists are still learning about the many ways that marijuana can affect the brain.

2010-02-27 The Joplin Globe, Joplin, MO - Possible crackdown apparently stubbing mock-marijuana salesHe said some people who have tried K2 tell him that it differs from marijuana in at least two respects.
