Before starting with my blog I want to clarify some things, with what I will expose in my next POST is for the knowledge of all of you I do not seek to promote the consumption of Marijuana, or say it is good or bad for you . Not only do I seek to give some information on this topic to the entire Steemit community. I once consumed this type of plant for medical purposes and I believe that society should change its negative way of thinking, and take time, to see the other side of the coin.

There will be a lot of Marihuana sometimes considered as benevolent, it remains to be asked if, like other narcotics, this drug damages the brain of those who consume it, for years there have been several scientific studies where they affirm that there are several ways of As the Marihuana can affect the brain of a person, according to these studies have found a connection in the use of marijuana and the risk of suffering from mental illnesses, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. This study ensures that whoever consumes it is prone to be diagnosed with any of these diseases, not only that they also affirm that those who started smoking in adolescence had a decrease in an intellectual coefficient, since it directly affects the memory of the individual . Another study shows that by consuming this drug could affect the size of the brain of that user who consumes marijuana constantly, this compared to those who never smoked. They claim that those users who consume, have less gray matter in a region of the brain called orbitofrontal cortex which is related to the cognitive process of decision making, and the study revealed that the brain of Marijuana smokers have superior, functional and structured connectivity. These people can ration differently to an ordinary person in different aspects of daily life.

As has been said many times Marihuana can interrupt the brain's natural reward circuit, making it highly relevant for large consumers and these brain alterations could be a marker of transition from the use of recreational marijuana to problematic use, as many organisms have pointed out. . Marijuana by default can affect certain neurons in the brain that are in some way responsible for the suppression of appetite and this effect may explain why people are often very hungry after consuming it. Cannabis can affect a teen's brain differently than it can affect the brain of an adult. However, the effects can not be the same for all consumers, since it depends on individual factors such as genetics, among others.

To develop this topic a bit more, I have taken the time to research the Effects of Marijuana and explain them in a simple way and that it is easiest to assimilate for those who read this blog and want to know a little more about the topic of Marijuana, let's start:

• Hunger and Thirst: The human brain produces its own cannabinoids, which serve to control our appetite, thc or tetrahydrocannabinol found in marijuana clings to our own semen, deceiving them to make it think to the brain that we need to eat, although a few minutes ago we had already eaten a complete pizza by ourselves.

• Redness of the Eyes: Cannabis depresses the intermuscular pressure up to 25% causing the arteries of the eyes to expand. Interestingly, it is this delitation that makes the use of Marijuana very effective for the treatment of Glaucoma.

• Memory Loss: Since endocannabinoid resectors are found in many regions of the brain, the effects of THC can create different symptoms. One of them is memory loss, the explanation is that within your hippocampus which is responsible for classifying the input information of new memories is inteferda which causes severe problems to remember or learn new things. Although these problems are occasional, a study assures that those who smoke at an early age may have long-term memory problems.

• Re-dryness in the mouth: We need saliva to lubricate and protect the mouth and we know that it is an important element in the digestion process human saliva is produced and secreted by three pairs of glands, besides producing 70 % of our saliva When marijuana is used THS distorts the functioning of these glands, causing them to stop functioning normally giving the feeling of being thirsty.

• Sensory Increase: The sensory increase in consumers of Canabis is considered a subjective effect, due to the alterations of the cannabinoid functions in the brain. English scientists discovered that fishermen in marquecos and Jamaica have used marijuana for years to navigate at night.

• Distortion of Time: As we have seen in movies or television shows the use of marijuana tends to slow things down, according to a study conducted in 1998, this happens because marijuana alters blood flow to the part of the brain that regulates muscle activity which is linked to the timing system of our body, this is a more common effect when consuming marijuana.

Among other effects that can cause the consumption of marijuana, everything will depend on the user and the amount consumed per day.

There are also many ways to consume marijuana among them, the most common is through combustion, perhaps not the most effective method of consuming this plant, but as I said is the most common. For this method of combustion we can find several branches, such as using a pipe or cigarette type or even filling a cone. Smoking in combustion is the traditional method, the effect will be immediate, you must take into account the variety, if it is Indica is more relaxing and narcotic and if it is Sativa is more stimulating brain type. Combustion inhales toxic substances, besides burning part of the THC and other canabiloides. This can cause lung and respiratory problems apart from the brain.

Marijuana has been used for a long time for medical purposes and some for recreational purposes, there was a time when the consumption of this and other drugs were allowed, (if friends of Steemit, were allowed). At that time the soldiers who went to war and the people who worked in the fields were allowed to consume lucidly and above all, medicinally. However in 1917 organism of different governments, they considered that marijuana was not for good people, that it was unhygienic, so that way they prohibited the consumption of this plant.

When the 70s arrived, the wave Hippie also arrived, where thousands of reasons were exposed to consume Marijuana, this genre in the then president of the United States Richard Nixon to form a campaign against everything that had to do with Marijuana. 47 years have passed and the subject of Marijuana continues to be a taboo subject, despite the fact that different scientific studies support its benefits for a large percentage of people in the world.

It has been shown that its recreational use is 114% safer than the use of alcohol, which never in history has been recorded a death generated by the use of marijuana. That it does not create a socio-dependent addition, which is not harmful to the lungs, unlike tobacco or cigarettes, which without fail has killed millions of people and in a large part of its existence has been announced by advertisements in the world, such as recreational drug, (The double moral of the System).

Even so, its consumption represents a social esteem, and of course it is illegal in many parts of the world.
In places where the properties of the plant have been studied, for its medicinal one it has been proven that it works for the treatment of migraines, in the retardation of the growth of tumors, the symptom of diseases decreases, such as the crohn syndrome one of the most painful diseases without a cure yet. Alzheimer prevents, it is a relaxing muscle, among many other things.

Of course it has also been shown that its consumption in excess or at an early age, can cause low levels of concentration and decreased memory.
This may be a problem for a certain percentage of society and that in advance do not care about the benefits that this plant can bring to a% of people who really need it and who depend on it to have a normal lifestyle .

Let's be people with an open mind, I'm not recommending that they consume Marijuana or another type of Drug, No and No ... Just be objective and think for a moment, create the culture in the world about the consumption of marijuana for medical purposes is the right thing ?, I say yes, I have friends who need this bush to control some diseases because normal drugs do nothing and end up affecting the person more.

I hope it is to your liking a big hug we will see you in a next Blog.
