Cannabis
Did you know that cannabis can cause a
person to loose their focus on things and
events around them?
It makes others more aware of their surroundings
and of physical sensations.
These different changes are caused by a
drug within cannabis which affects the brain.
This chemical is called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol
– Wow! Try saying that quickly!).
THC weakens short-term memory, which is
one of the reasons it is so bad to use this
drug. If you are using cannabis and trying
to study for exams or doing anything that
requires you to use your memory, then your
brain may not register the things you are
trying to learn.
Cannabis is one of the most commonly talked
about drugs. Many people want to legalise
it. Some people want it legalised for medical
purposes while others want it legalised
for general use in society.
