The cannabis plant is known for producing the widely used illicit substance in the world known as marijuana. Marijuana is the dried up leaves and buds of the cannabis plant that are either smoked or eaten depending on the user’s preference. These leaves and buds cause the user to experience an increase in his or her heart rate, changes in his or her mood, lowered blood pressure, and loss of perception control. Marijuana can be used to help cancer patients with their nausea, help HIV/AIDS patients gain an appetite, and also to help a person calm his or her nerves. The down side to these beneficial buds and leaves is that they are addictive and that they also cause users to possibly experience harmful side effects that can become fatal over a period of time.
Marijuana is illegal to possess or sale in America and in many parts of the world because of its addictive nature and unhealthy side effects, but it can be obtained in the state of California with a prescription for medical treatment. Using marijuana for use other than that of what a doctor intends can have disastrous side effects that can only be cured over time and sometimes time does not heal the effects of marijuana.
