The National 28 May 2018
Marijuana comes from
the Indian hemp plant and the part that contains the drug is primarily in the
flowers or buds and much less in the seeds and stems of the plant.
Marijuana when sold, is
a mixture of dry leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of the hemp plant. It is
usually green, brown or grey in colour.
Marijuana is particularly bad for young people with
brains that are still developing. Studies have shown that teens who smoke pot have lower IQs than
their peers.
Thousands of people are
killed or injured every year from drinking alcohol. With legal marijuana we
will be adding thousands more to that list.
Abuse of marijuana is a
serious concern and must be addressed before it takes a crippling effect on the
society.

Marijuana widens the
tiny gaps between nerve cells said the Head of the National Narcotics
Bureau Matthew Nelson.
It causes nerve damage
and blocks activities inside each cell especially the making of protein which
the cell needs for proper functioning.
