When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.\n\nIn the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement4.\n\nThe short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana abuse indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term abuse of other major drugs. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system5 and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine6. Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.\n\n\nEffects on the Heart\n\nOne study has indicated that a user's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana7. The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana's effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.\n\n\nEffects on the Lungs\n\nA study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers8. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.\n\nEven infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways9. Smoking marijuana possibly increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers10.\n\nMarijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens9,11. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke12. It also induces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells13. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.\n\n\nOther Health Effects\n\nSome of marijuana's adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system's ability to fight disease. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited14. In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors15,16.\n\n\nEffects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavior\n\nResearch clearly demonstrates that marijuana has the potential to cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse.

I am not a doctor, nor would I hazard to offer medical advice. With that said, I watch a lot of E.R, Grays Anatomy ,reruns of Doogie Houser and reruns of Baywatch(even pseudo medical experts need to kick back, am I right)\nI think these qualifications give me a bit more credibility when it comes to offering bogus, perhaps even dangerous medical advice.\nI think you are taking a proactive approach to your health care. What you are doing just makes sense. I personally take dreadful psych meds. To counter act the lethargy they induce, I take handfuls of caffeine pills, my theory, there is the recommended dosage, then there is the "I am nuts I get a disability check, I am invincible, dosage", the dose I take. This dosage effectively evens me out albeit a "little much", however I keep a pretty hectic schedule between watching soaps, riding around in my mower and smoking perfectly legal medicinal marijuana. Oh and wearing my hat, it takes me hours to get it just right.\nI so totally forgot to answer you question.\n\n\nThe outcome.\nYou will start bouncing, you will not be able to stop for approximately 41 minutes. I do not know what happens next I fell asleep.

There's this weed that had poisonous spiky hairs on the thick stem, and if manhandled, spreads it's seeds really fast and the hairs can cause tumors in the hands. Also really hard to pull up and the root can grow more plants. And it's in the U.S.! Wyoming!

Marijuana is not bad for your health bud. It does not destroy brain cells like alot of people think it does. It does not destroy your stomach lining. If you eat it, it does no damage to your body at all. There is no such thing as a "THC Gland" like one of the dudes above is talking about.\n\nAnd furthermore, there is a huge pile of historical evidence suggesting that Jesus Christ himself was a regular user of the herb.\n\nChrist was not Jesus' name. The name Christ comes from the greek word meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One". What happened back in those days, the Hebrew people used a special oil to annoint their Priests and Kings. You could not use the title of Messiah unless you had been anointed in this oil. The oil was made from many herbs and spices including over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops (cannabis is the name of the plant marijauna comes from in case you didnt know). When Jesus was anointed by John the Baptist, he had a hallucination, or what he called a "vision" due to the effects of the oil. From that point on, Jesus considered himself enlightened, and used the oil and the herb freely in iniation and healing rites. \n\nSo if youre a christian. It would be hard to justify that something which the son of god did is a sin. So go out, smoke all you want. If you believe what Jesus believed, it will help you get closer to God. Good luck my friend, and dont listen to all the people that will tell you im full it sh*t. Im not, all ive told you is in the Bible and other historical documents from that time period. Check out the website of the Church of the Universe if you need more evidence. They have lots. Peace

There is as many types of marijuana as people in the United States!  That ought to tell you the different types available.  The weights are in Grams and twenty eight grams to an ounce.  Big time is the by the pound!  You either deal or you have quite a habit going (highly unlikely).  Most people buy it by the ounce or gram for personal use.  It is very enlightening the first time you try it.  It is not habit forming in the physical sense but psychologically it may be.  It just made me eat like a "cow", it is a metabolizing herb and that is why you get so hungry. You an smoke it which is the preferred way to do it or you can make butter out of it (ganja) real potent if your not careful and hash which is the very concentrated tircombs of the Cannabis but this is also smoked as well.  Hope this helps you.

You would have to explain a lot more about what happened before this question could be answered.  Did you get a permit to open a store to sell pot?  Legal maybe in your state ,but not the Federal Govt?  Did you open a restaurant and get closed down because of unsafe conditions?\nMore explanation is necessary.

You can't "manufacture" marijuana. Manufacturing is where you take raw materials and convert them into a product through mechanical or chemical means. Pot has to be cultivated, which means it has to be grown and then collected in order to get "the bud"

Dude, you need to take responsibility for what you do in life. I am sick of people saying "It's the cops fault" for everything. I assume you are over 18 and are an adult. Act like one. I laugh when I hear "I got pulled over and I wasn't doing anything wrong." People like you like to leave out details that don't shine a good light on you.\n\nIf you are such a good citizen, how did you know the location of the marijuana farm?\n\nLet's see, I imagine that the real scenario went like this:\n\nMe and my buddy were speeding away from our pot grow and smoking a bowl. It made my buddy weave all over the road. This cop pulls in behind us a few miles later and turns on his lights after my buddy plowed through a center median. Being as we had a large shipment of pot to deliver, we had to come up with a quick plan. We couldn't because we were so stoned. So when the cop came to the window, we decided to throw our competition under the bus and tell the cop about his grow.

Are you talking about marijuana? It can remain up to 4 weeks depending on how much and how often you use it' Check out a book called urine trouble and you can find out more spe3cific info there

get yourself some pennyroyal; but, be very careful not to allow a lactating or pregnant mother use the herb...for them it would be dangerous...for you it will dry up your lungs tremendously

I can totally understand why you use marijuana for medical purposes...it has so many of them and is so effective. I can't believe it's not legalized. I know WHY, but I still can't believe how many lies the government feeds us to demonize this incredible natural and practically harmless substance. I mean, Sudafed is far more dangerous than marijuana for goodness sake! All this talk by other posters saying it kills brain cells makes me sick. It's so very ignorant. Marijuana doesn't do that, ALCOHOL does yet no one's going to get on your case for having a beer at dinner. \n\nAnyway, I don't think a judge would take your child for testing positive for a drug test but I don't know. I mean...are you saying someone wants to take your child? Otherwise, if you, say, were applying for a job that ordered a drug test and you tested positive, they would not take away your child. They just may not hire you.\n\nBut if someone is trying to take your child away and you don't have a prescription I guess they could. Are you in a state that prescribes medical marijuana? If you want your son to be with you then maybe you should think about moving, as extreme as that sounds! \n\nI think you're doing the best you can and I respect your decisions. Good luck.

The fact of the matter is that although there are a ton of products out on the market that purport to get marijuana and other drugs out of your system quickly, they are not actually effective.  All you're going to get from these type of products is a slimmer wallet and a positive drug test.  Don't waste your time or your money.  Drugs will show up in your system regardless of what weird measures you try to take to get them flushed out.\n\nIf you are a chronic smoker of marijuana, it will stay in your system longer.  If you don't smoke as much marijuana (for example, you went to a party and had a few hits off a joint) then it will leave your system more quickly.  It can stay in your system for up to 30 days, again depending upon how much and how regularly you smoke.  If it has been at least two weeks, you're probably going to be okay.  Otherwise, you could try to switch your urine with someone else's.  Just make sure you don't switch it with a woman's urine, because if she is pregnant it's goign to be very strange...\n\nThe people suggesting that you take goldenseal or drink gallons of water are sadly misinformed.  People also may suggest you take other measures like drinking vinegar, etc.  You should be aware that you can actually die from drinking too much water--you have to drink a lot, but it does happen, and it's called water toxicity.

first off what are you doing that means you cant have weed trace in your hair? second it would still look unfavourable that you were condoning pot smoking. if you're trying to avoid the police, i believe 6 months is the standard time for trace to leave your body (I watch a lot of CSI)
