What is Marijuana?
Quit Smoking Weed!
[ad#ad-1]
Marijuana (grass, pot, weed,cannabis) is the street name for a psychoactive drug made from the plant Cannabis Sativa.
The most prominent mind-altering (psychoactive) ingredient in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), but more than 400 other chemicals also are in the plant.
A marijuana “joint” (cigarette) is made from the dried particles of the plant. The amount of THC in the marijuana determines how strong its effects will be. The type of plant, the weather, the soil, the time of harvest, and other factors determine the strength of marijuana. The strength of today’s marijuana is as much as ten times greater than the marijuana used in the early 1970s. This more potent marijuana increases physical and mental effects and the possibility of health problems for the user.
Another variation of Marijuana is Hashish, or hash, and is made by taking the resin from the leaves and flowers of the marijuana plant and pressing it into cakes or slabs. Hash is usually stronger than crude marijuana and may contain five to ten times as much THC. Pure THC is almost never available, except for research. Substances sold as THC on the street often turn out to be something else, such as PCP.
Quit Smoking Weed And Grass
Are you addicted to weed and grass and you want to quit the habit? Though not an easy task but, it is not impossible. Sometimes it happens that you have a dual mind and one part is ready to quit and the other does not. The decision needs to be taken by you and only you will have to take the final call. There are plenty of reasons why you should quit smoking. Most of them overlap those which we have enlisted for smoking simple cigarettes.
However…
According to a recent survey more than 39% of youths aged between 12 to 17 years have tried the puff at least once out of curiosity. The drug is often called by different names. Sometimes we call it Ganja, some times Mary Jane or grass and few of us call it weed or pot. The thing is one and the same. It is a shredded mixture of dried leaves and flowers of Cannabis Sativa plant which is hand rolled like cigarettes or sometimes used in bongs or pipes.
The addiction is deadly in terms of your health because it causes lung cancer.
If you are determined to quit the habit then I will suggest you few basic tips of quitting grass and weed-
- Music : Do not listen to Psychedelic or hard rock music or any music which relates to Marijuana. Music forms deep associations for the smoker and must be disconnected at all times.
- Peers : Try to avoid the company of friends and colleagues who smoke grass. These are perhaps the biggest hindrance to a person trying to quit smoking successfully.
- Movies and Cinema: Never watch movies or shows something about grass, it may be a good movie but still refrain from watching it. The desire to be like someone in the movie can be a little daunting and hard to overcome.
- Chewing Gum : Try to chew chewing gum which will replace your smoking habit by keeping your mouth occupied.
- Water : Every time you feel like smoking, drink a plenty of water. It curbs your desire to smoke again and again.
- Books : Stop reading books or articles related to grass and the smoker.
- Your room and surrounding: Take off all your posters and slogans from the walls of your room. Stick to a simple life with nothing reminding you of the past.
- Accessories : hrow away all your accessories which can remind you about the pot.
