how is it taken?

• Marijuana is used in many ways. The most common method is smoking loose marijuana rolled into a cigarette. Sometimes marijuana is smoked through a water pipe Others smoke cigars hollowed out and filled with the drug. And some users brew it as tea or mix it with food.

STATS

•According to a 2009 survey, about 7 percent of 8th-graders, 16 percent of 10th-graders, and 21 percent of 12th-graders had used marijuana in the month before the survey, marijuana use declined from the late 1990s through 2007, with a decrease in past-year use of more than 20 percent in all three grades combined from 2000 to 2007. Unfortunately, this trend appears to be slowing, and marijuana use remains at unacceptably high levels, as the most commonly used illegal drug.

The Most Dangerous Drug

I think that alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs because they are the most readily available and because taking them is considered acceptable in society. They are used by the largest number of people and are therefore the most dangerous to society over all.

i didn't eat that much.. again, and once again, did no exercise. My worst ones are vit. d vit. e and fibre. Lack of fibre can cause high blood pressure and increased risk of heart desease.

Thoughts on Stress

Stress can be directly related to self esteem issues because people can get stressed more if they are worrying about things, people lower down in the running of things are more likely to get stressed because they have lower self esteem. a side effect can be depression. Real depression is a mental state of mind which can take a physical tole on you as well. it can be treated with medication, and it can eventually lead to people feeling that they want to die if it's not treated.
