For I aim to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of using cannabis on a regular basis. By reviewing some facts will explain my stance on this topic allowing the reader to consider their own opinion on the matter.
Aide’s victims can also be helped. There is evidence that cannabis may stimulate their appetites, and prevent sickness and vomiting connected with cancer chemotherapy. There is evidence that Cannabis may also be helpful in the treatment of the eye disease, glaucoma. Hemp is one of the most sustainable crops grown throughout history. We can make everything from textiles to paper to carbon fibre out of it and so the government could earn billions in taxes "In 1916, USDA Bulletin No. 404, reported that one acre of cannabis hemp, in annual rotation over a 20-year period, would produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees being cut down over the same 20-year period Instead the government decide to spend all their money on destroying the cannabis plants when they could devote their time to helping the sickly and old. Against Cannabis doesn’t always help people a lot of the population smokes it as a drug and a lot of them are affected in such ways as loss of memory, headaches, blindness Although legalization activists and many marijuana users believe smoking pot has no negative effects, scientific research indicates that marijuana use can cause many different health problems. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. When smoked, it begins to effect users almost immediately and can last for one to three hours. When it is eaten in food, such as baked in brownies and cookies, the effects take longer to begin, but usually last longer.
When high doses of marijuana are used, usually when eaten in food rather than smoked, users can experience the following symptoms Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Marijuana can cause the heart beat to increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, and can increase even more if other drugs are used at the same time. Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.

Family changed her life?
When Katie was very young a member of her family touched her inappropriately. This led to her rebelling against everything and everyone; the normally quiet girl started to dress like a hooker, go to parties and take drugs. It wasn’t long until she struggled financially. This left her with no choice but to sell her body to make money; ironically this was the one thing that disgusted her and led her on this downwards spiral. She slept on the streets for a long period of time jumping in and out of cars just to make money. In that period of time Katie started taking smack and found herself addicted after the second time taking it. She desperately needed to feed her addiction which made her steal out of shops because selling her body wasn’t making her enough money to feed that addiction. One night when she was out in search of her next client, a man pulled up in a car and rolled down his window. Approaching the car she noticed there was another man in the passenger seat. Katie was worried about what could happen but she needed the money so she had no choice but to continue walking towards the car. When Katie got to the car she witnessed the driver passing something to the passenger. She put her head into the window to ask what the two men wanted. However whilst she was talking the passenger plunged a knife into the side of her face. As he did so he said “That’s one less junkie to worry about”. Later a passerby stepped into a pool of Katie’s blood. He stopped to see if Katie was okay. Leaning down he noticed the stab wound on her face and quickly phoned an ambulance. The man put Katie into recovery position in case she was going to be sick. When the paramedics arrived they asked the man “Do you know her name?” He replied “No I found her like this sorry.” One of the medics said “It’s fine you did the right thing” - on the route to the hospital Katie woke and gasped for air. The medics quickly turned their attention to her to try keep her alive for as long as possible. Upon arrival doctors quickly got her into surgery to assess the damage. After they repaired the damage they stitched the wound together and left her to recover. Seven days later she was as fit as a fiddle and back on the streets again. One day Katie went to see her cousin who stayed on the other side of Glasgow; with no money for transport she had no choice but to walk. Taking the quickest way to her cousins meant going through the backstreets of Glasgow; when arrived at her cousins she was unsure if she would be welcomed into her house because of her past. As Katie waited at the door she noticed the TV was on so she peered through the window to see if anyone was in, there was a little girl she then heard what could only be described as someone banging on the door. As the door opened Katie’s cousin seen her standing peering through the window; her cousin was in shock, because she never expected to see Katie again. Whilst they were speaking a stranger walked up behind her cousin and asked “Who is this darling?” “No one, just some crazy girl who is lost” She replied as she shut the door. Tears poured from Katie’s eyes as she walked away. She went to a shop around the corner and stood on the street waiting to see if she could make a bit of money the way she used to. Moments later a car pulled alongside her, a deep voice from within said “Get in”. She did and the man just stared ahead. She could not see his face as he sped away from the curb sharply and flicked the automatic door locks on. He then turned to face her and her blood froze – it was him! To this day no-one knows what happened to Katie?
