What are the effects of marijuana on the brain?

What are the effects of marijuana on the brain?

Marijuana is a drug. Sometimes people tend to trivialize it, but I think that what makes drugs really dangerous is exactly that. When we trivialize something we see ourselves in a position of superiority, where we have total control of the situation. The same happens with alcohol, both of these drugs are highly addictive and dangerous, but they're quite accepted by society.

I have never tried it myself, but two of my closest friends from childhood did consume marijuana heavily. One of them developed schizophrenia and was in a psych ward for some time. My other friend ended up talking and having the reaction time of a zombie. It's very sad to see how with time, the abuse of these substances led to my friends turning into total strangers.

I understand that people want to evade from reality, but I don't share it. If I don't like my reality, I prefer to try to change it myself. Consuming drugs will only delay the problem while making it bigger. It's like not cleaning and hiding everything under the rug, one day it will be unbearable.

The status quo of countries starting to promote or even allow it worries me. We already have a very docile and naïve population, these type of calming drugs will only make people dumber and less aware of their surroundings.

"Avoid" is more natural sounding than "evade".

In English, "sweeping under the rug" or "sweeping [whatever] under the rug" is the way to phrase the idiom.

The status quotrend of countries starting to promote or even allow it worries me.

I'd prefer to use "trend" because I'm assuming you mean it's a noticeable and ongoing pattern.

Basically one country legalizes/decriminalizes marijuana, then another follows, and other, and so forth. It's basically the same way people follow trends online and in life.

Excellent! Well-written and strong arguments.

I have a pretty nuanced position on this, but I do agree that a sober society is a better one. People drink and take drugs to avoid problems and relieve stress caused by the struggles of life. I've heard plenty of stories of and have seen people who abuse substances acting strange in public and making other people feel uncomfortable.

Thank you very much! Of course, we live in a harsh world, so I kind of understand people that rely in "help" to avoid reality. But yeah, in an idyllic society, we wouldn't need to anything external to feel better.

Marijuana is a drug.

Sometimes people tend to trivialize it, but I think that is precisely what makes such drugs really dangerous is exactly that.

I've made a suggestion, but what you said can be understood as well.

I understand that people want to evade from reality, but I don't share ithat sentiment.

You could also say "escape from reality"

"Evade" is used on its own, while "escape" is followed by "from"

If I don't like my reality, I prefer to try to change it myself.

Consuming drugs will only delay the problem while making it bigger.

It's like not cleaning and hidsweeping everything under the rug, instead of cleaning it properly; one day it will be unbearable.

"these" should be followed by a word in its plural form

Marijuana is aherb that contains several psycho-active drugs.

Strictly speaking, some of the chemicals inside of marijuana are "drug", but the hemp plant is not a drug.

Sometimes people tend to trivialize it, but I think that [MEANING UNCLEAR: Specify *what* makes drugs really dangerous is exactly that.marijuana dangerous.]

The same happens with alcohol, both of these drugs are highly addictive and dangerous, but they're quLOGIC: Different people react differently to alcohol and marijuana. I have one drink of alcohol a week, but haven't been drunk for over 15 years. Some of friends smoke marjijuana once or twice a year, but have no dependency on ite accepted by societnd use it responsibly.

Thanks or the corrections!

I disagree about not thinking alcohol and marijuana are dangerous.Almost 200,000 people died in 2020 in the US due to alcohol. And as I wrote, two of my friends developed serious illness due to marijuana.

Of course if you only take it once in a blue moon it's fine, but it's just playing the Russian Roulette. Why even risk it.

P.D: I saw you're learning Japanese and Chinese. I'm interested, do you think, that if I'm planning to learn both, is there one I should start before? (in some way, can help with the learn of the other one) Or there's 100% no difference on the order to start learning.

Thank you!

I think a colon or a hyphen would work better here.

I don't know if my suggestion is what you were going for, but "status quo" doesn't really make sense here imo.
