Significance
of on Marijuana is healthy for you and doesn’t cause harm
Marijuana is perceived to have the negative impact on the health
and mind of human being as the significance of the current research is based on

and health of a human being. However, the current research work is
of immense importance to provide the help for the same topic of the study. The
importance of the study is all about meeting up the objectives of the research
work.

Marijuana
tends to provide various associated benefits to the human beings. The people
who make use of this drug not only get the harms from it but also the benefits
associated with the plant. The benefits are especially associated with the
health of the human beings. In case the benefits are considered then there is a
long lasting list for the said purpose (Medicine, Joy, & Mack, 2000).
According
to the research conducted by Pacher, Steffens, Haskó, Schindler, & Kunos
(2018) focus on the marijuana-based products it is known that with its usage
there can be cardiovascular risks that are associated with obesity, diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, etc. it is known in research that cardiovascular collapse,
cardio‑myopathies
and multiple forms of shock are also associated with the use of marijuana.
However medicinal use of marijuana needs to be concerned for efficient
development and progression so that there may not be issues related to heart
failure, atherosclerosis, and restenosis, etc. (Pacher, Steffens, Haskó, Schindler, &
Kunos, 2018)
According
to the research conducted by Filbey, et al.,
(2014) it is known that there are consequence of marijuana use as it
result in neuronal loss, reduction in CB1, there is also changes in cell size density.
Marijuana users can also suffer from OFC abnormalities (Filbey, et al., 2014).
According
to the research conducted by Volkow, Baler,
Compton, & Weiss (2014) it is known that there are short-term and long-term
consequences of marijuana use as short-term
consequence of marijuana result in impaired short-term memory, there
could be difficulties in learning and to retaining information, more risk of
injuries, impaired motor coordination, driving skills interference (Hudak, 2016). Moreover, long-term consequences of marijuana use are
less brain development, psychosis disorders, dropping out of school, poor
educational outcome and also less life satisfaction (Volkow, Baler, Compton, & Weiss, 2014).
The two chemicals which are
perceived to be active in Marijuana are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol). These chemicals tend to have the medicinal applications
regarding maintaining the health of the human beings and providing them with
the health relatedbenefits. In any case, researchers state that impediments on
weed inquire about mean regardless we have central issues about its restorative
properties. Notwithstanding CBD and THC, there are another 400 or so substance
mixes, more than 60 of which are cannabinoids. A considerable lot of these
could have medicinal employments. Be that as it may, without more research, we
won't realize how to best utilize those mixes(Saitz, Alford, Bernstein, Cheng, & Samet, 2010).
As per American public it is
proved on the large scale that Marijuana provides the human beings with the
medical benefits. The percentage specified in this regard is almost 84% which
proves this drug to be legally beneficial for the drug. The public count as
supportive Americans in this regard is 61%. It might be of some utilization in
treating glaucoma, or it might be conceivable to get a medication from
marijuana for this utilization(Neumark-Sztainer, 2011).
Another research work tried to
look, by screening in a student’s center, to focus whether the use of Marijuana
is associated with wellbeing advancing practices. The students finished a
concise electronic, wellbeing identifying screening instrument. The individuals
who revealed marijuana utilization of month to month or more on the Alcohol,
Smoking, and Substance Involvement Test (ASSIST) and a subset of the
individuals who didn't were welcome to finish extra standard appraisals,
including inquiries concerning wellbeing advancing practices, liquor, and
substance use. Results demonstrated marijuana clients were bound to utilize an
assortment of substances and take part in risky drinking than non-clients.
Besides, level of marijuana use was related with more prominent probability of
utilizing an assortment of substances however not with risky drinking. There
was no proof that weed use was related with wellbeing advancing practices.
These discoveries feature the attending substance-related dangers related with
marijuana utilization(Tibor, 2015)
and (Terry-McElrath, 2011).
Recently, National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering and Medicine conducted a review of researches to fill the
gap. The research combined more than 10,000 researches published since 1999. In
the review, the results extracted from dozens of experts along with scientific
evidence regarding Marijuana were considered. The research has strong benefits
along with some downsides to cannabis. The research concluded that continuous
use of marijuana could lead to chronic pain, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.
The main risk issues are respiratory problems, psychosis and schizophrenia(Saitz, Alford, Bernstein, Cheng, & Samet, 2010). Since mid-1990s
marijuana was considered a medical component in 28 states around the world.
after that researches were conducted and analyses that marijuana causes muscle
stiffness and pain in muscles. it is not possible to validate all the medical
benefits, but some solid findings are used. the review confirms that previous
studies analyzed substantial evidence that use of marijuana is good for the
chronic pain and opioid painkiller epidemic. all these previous reports
concluded that marijuana is good for chronic. in the conclusive evidence, the
effectiveness of marijuana was considered for the treatment of
chemotherapy-induced nausea. beyond the strongest findings of the research,
some moderate evidence is also used related to disorder symptoms and social
disorder in the patients of using marijuana. the overall report concluded that
besides the therapeutic losses and benefits, marijuana can be used to treat
some patients more effectively and efficiently as compared to other chemicals(Saitz, Alford, Bernstein, Cheng, & Samet, 2010).

abnormalities, reduction in CB1 and also changes in cell size density the
short-term memory, less brain development, psychosis disorders, poor
educational outcome etc. due to continuous use of marijuana. From previous studies, the
objectives of the current study have been achieved. Also, the current research
work proved it to be significant for the future research works. The myth
regarding Marijuana in the context of human health has been proved to be true.
Recommendations
of on Marijuana is healthy for you and
doesn’t cause harm
It is recommended
that marijuana use should be avoided or there should be the use of only those
