Positive and Negative Effects

Chances are that if you’re reading this you know both how wonderful or awful consuming marijuana can be. Just like most things in life, there are positives and negatives to using weed. It’s important to remember while reading this that everyone’s experience is going to be slightly different from the next person. Here’s the good: relaxation, pain relief, increased laughter, altered state of mind… so on and so forth.

The bad is not as common but when it’s bad, it’s awful. In some people instead of causing relaxation, the use of marijuana causes or amplifies stress, panic and anxiety. In some cases marijuana can cause paranoia, mild hallucinations and vision problems. In almost everyone, marijuana will cause impairment of fine motor skills and the ability to focus or concentrate. As I mentioned previously, the bad seems to be much less occurring than the good which is why people continue to consume weed on a regular basis.
