The 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 use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse. 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 system(6) and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine(7). Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.

Effects of Cannabis Use on the Heart
One study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana(8). 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.
Cannabis abuse will almost certainly impair or reduce short-term and reduce concentration and coordination. Still fancy taking Cannabis and then driving your car? Cannabis use will alter your recognition sensors making the taking in of new information very hard. Cannabis abuse can also induce paranoia and psychosis.
Due to Cannabis abusers inhaling the unfiltered Cannabis smoke deeply and then holding it in their lungs as long as possible, Cannabis abuse also causes damage to the lungs. Cannabis smoke also contains more carcinogens than tobacco smoke. In the long term Cannabis abuse may cause the user to develop psychological dependence and require more and more of the drug to get the same high. This in turn can lead to the Cannabis user turning to harder drugs to get the same high resulting in more severe substance abuse.
