Marijuana... IT'S A DRUG !
Cannabis, weed, green, pot, joint, kush, grass. If you've heard these terms, you know it means Marijuana. Marijuana is the dried and shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the cannabis plant. This plant has over 400 chemicals in it, but the main psychoactive chemical is THC, or Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol. Over the course of this blog, we'll examine the anthropological, sociological, and psychological aspects of Marijuana. Despite my personal views regarding Marijuana, it has some pros; like being used for medical reasons or to help people "calm down". However, there are still many cons, such as the long term affects, side affects, and how it affects your life as a whole. Our goal for this blog is to determine if Marijuana has become too mainstream, or if we have become desensitised to it. The debate on Marijuana has been going on for years; some states have made it legal, others considering, and others are saying no. But does that have anything to do with why teens these days are so inclined to defending the drug?
Why is it that our society has become so used to Marijuana, that it hardly affects us anymore? This, my readers, is what we'll be talking about.
Before you begin, I would like you to listen to this very comedic song about growing Marijuana. ENJOY MY PEOPLE
