The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol).
One of the dangers of smoking marijuana is the possibility that it has been laced with another, more dangerous substance such as cocaine, crack, PCP, or even embalming fluid.
When THC reaches the lungs, it passes quickly into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body. THC binds to the protein receptors in the brain and start a series of cellular reactions that in the end lead to the high that users experience with marijuana.
Some of the short-term effects of smoking marijuana include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, problems with thinking and problem solving, loss of coordination, increased heart rate, etc
Long-term marijuana abuse indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term abuse of other major drugs.
Smoking marijuana has negative effects on the heart, the lungs and may have adverse health effects because THC impairs the immune system's ability to fight disease.
Smoking marijuana has been found to cause problems in daily life as well as make a person's existing problems worse. Depression, anxiety, and personality disturbances have been associated with chronic marijuana use.
