Adverse Effects of Marijuana on the Brain

 



Marijuana affects areas in the brain responsible for movement and memory. Whether a person smokes marijuana or ingests it through edible food, snacks, baked goods, candy, or beverages, it can have a harmful effect on the mind and body.

Smoking a lot of marijuana each day and over a long period of time can cause functional changes in the brain. Repetitive exposure to high concentrations and frequent doses of the mind-altering chemical delta-90tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can lead to long-term and adverse effects on the brain, especially for individuals who may have underlying psychological disorders. 

Be smart, don't start. Stay informed on the harms that you may be doing to yourself by using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other harmful substances.
