Marijuana

Marijuana, an extremely common drug that has enjoyed popularity for decades. It's also called Pot, Reefer, Weed, Grass, Ganja, Dope, Mary Jane, or Sinsemilla. It is green and leafy in appearance and has an unmistakable strong odor. It may be rolled into cigarettes or cigars, or you may find it in a plain bag. In some cases, it may be added to food and eaten. Marijuana contains what is known as THC, and this is what produces its side effects. The quality of marijuana is determined by how high the THC levels are. For example, "ditch weed" has very low levels of THC while Acapulco Gold will have very high levels.

A very strong odor emanating from the user's clothes, room or car will usually be present. This is usually a good sign that some use is occurring, even long after symptoms disappear. This drug can impair memory, make the user feel disoriented or they may have trouble making connections or following a thought process. Most users experience a mellow feeling, but in some cases, users may have mania, panic attacks or an increased heart rate.

Clinical Symptoms are relaxation, disorientation, sleepiness, slowing down of thought processes, hunger, slowed motor skills. Particularly worrisome if treated with another drug, such as PCP or LSD.
