What are the side effects of Marijuana?

[MacGaven]

I have a friend that I think may be smoking Marijuana, how do I tell if he really is?

What are the signs to look for and how can I tell him to not be so obvious of his habit? He's a good kid so I don't anything bad to happen to him.

Thanks

Here come the worms.

Does he smell like burning rope?

blood shot eyes, cotton mouth, munchies. The smell around him. If he hasn't "just" been smoking though, you really aren't going to see much.

I heard that heart problems & nervous weakness are some of them.

Is memory loss a real side-effect with Marijuana?

That would be a terrible thing to lose.

Why do you think he has been smoking marijuana?

 

[vi edit]

Lots of dorito's bags laying around, Bob Marley in the CD player, and a sudden interest in tiedyed shirts, birkenstocks, and hemp necklaces and throw-overs..

Is the smell really obvious? How can you hid it if you're out in public?

Drooping eye lids too.

Bah, it's easy to mask that. I wouldn't count on the smell, unless you just caught him smoking it.

Often times red eyes, tiredness, eating A LOT. If he is currently high he may laugh, be in his own kinda world...

Side effects are shoots I can't recall I just did a paper on this too one semester ago.

Google is your friend.

marijuana smells really distinct. you usually don't get it mixed up w/ cigarrette smoke.

Are you talking short term or long term?

Long term, not much, aside from the fact that MJ chars the insides of your lungs every time you inhale.
It's marginally less harmful than cigarette smoke but same overall effect. Even if you toke through a bong it's not going to cool the smoke down enough; to get the smoke to the point where it's "harmless" it would be so dense you couldn't inhale it.

The memory loss thing is pretty much a myth. The only thing you want to be careful of is using with alcohol, and possible addiction. Yes, you CAN get addicted to pot.

Other than the smell, its very possible that you would never be able to tell at all.

Why make a big deal out of it?

Good post. Although.. I believe there is a known mechanism that prevents lung cancer from forming in people that smoke cannabis. Do you know what I'm talking about?

FUN

and let the debates begin......

 

[5uperi0n]

Blood-shot eyes is the best way to tell.

The smell is also very distinct.
Lazyness, Sometimes excessive laughter

Weed makes you dumb.
I'm not too sure about the memory loss bit though.

Munchies late at night. If thats when your friend smokes it.

He's really stupid and he says dude all the time.
