The article states that the common misconception that cannabis is not addictive is incorrect; cannabis is a mind altering drug that is addictive and can interfere with daily functioning at work and in your personal life.

Cannabis when smoked will have the same effects on the skin as cigarettes.  They release the same toxins and carcingens as cigarette smoke.  It can also hamper collagen production and can worsen rosacea and psoriasis.

There is a fallacy surrounding the use of cannabis that it is harmless and non-addictive. The withdrawal of use has few harsh physical effects, unlike harder drugs. These can include a slightly elevated pulse, nausea, irritability that often the user does not associate with use. The psychological effects are much more detrimental and longer lasting. NIH has done several studies that suggest the brain becomes permanently altered over time and that emotional response and processing are diminished. 

The reality is that smoking cannabis delivers higher levels of tar and 33 individual carcinogenic agents into the body. Smoking is also tied to an inflammatory response thus it can exacerbate acne, psoriasis, and eczema. One side effect of smoking or ingesting cannabis is "munchies". In an altered state, many people snack on unhealthy foods that directly impact the skin's health.

There are many chemicals in Marijuana. It can be very harmful to the lungs since the tar is greater than that of smoking cigarettes. When the leaves are heated they release free radicals which are harmful to our DNA. It constricts blood vessels.

Heating the leaves releases free radicals which are bad for us. THC in cannabis may increase the persons testosterone level and that can cause acne or increase acne. The skin produces more oil. Hair loss or growth can also occur all over the body. People who smoke cannabis may seek out hair removal services of all types

Although cannabis has helping properties, it can be very addictive causing withdrawals. Some of the negative side effects are loss of appetite, depression, even aggression. It changes your mind and can cause many problems with school, work, and relationships. When someone is addicted to cannabis their body craves it and you create a tolerance . Also, it shows in the skin when someone smokes, like dull skin and clogged pores.

I agree with Doreen on this one especially about how it ties into an inflammatory response and how it constricts blood vessels. The article definitely did clear up for me that it can be just as addicting as any other drug however I feel like it is beneficial medicinally and can help replace more harmful and addictive prescriptions. But for regular recreational use it can be detrimental to the body if you do it on a repeated regular basis.

I do like your point of view. Recreational cannabis smoking is dangerous and with all the unknown additives added what will the person mind and body be like in 10 years if smoking is not stopped?
