THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA

For those voting about MARIJUANA a few facts might be useful.
If this is decriminalised SO many more people will be driving under the influence, putting you and me and our children at far more risk.

The immediate effects of taking marijuana include rapid heart beat, disorientation, lack of physical coordination, often followed by depression or sleepiness. Some users suffer panic attacks or anxiety.22

But the problem does not end there. According to scientific studies, the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, remains in the body for weeks or even months.23

Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more cancer-causing substances than tobacco smoke.24 One major research study reported that a single cannabis joint could cause as much damage to the lungs as up to five regular cigarettes smoked one after another.4 Long-time joint smokers often suffer from bronchitis, an inflammation of the respiratory tract.25

The drug can affect more than your physical health. Studies in Australia in 2008 linked years of heavy marijuana use to brain abnormalities.26 This is backed up by earlier research on the long-term effects of marijuana, which indicate changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term abuse of other major drugs. And a number of studies have shown a connection between continued marijuana use and psychosis.27


Marijuana can change the structure of sperm cells, deforming them.

Thus even small amounts of marijuana can cause temporary sterility in men.28 Marijuana use can also disrupt a woman’s menstrual cycle.29

Studies show that the mental functions of people who have smoked a lot of marijuana tend to be diminished. The THC in cannabis disrupts nerve cells in the brain, affecting memory.30

Cannabis is one of the few drugs that causes abnormal cell division, which leads to severe hereditary defects. A pregnant woman who regularly smokes marijuana or hashish may give birth prematurely to an undersized, underweight baby. Over the last 10 years many children of marijuana users have been born with reduced initiative and lessened abilities to concentrate and pursue life goals.31 Studies also suggest that prenatal (before birth) use of the drug may result in birth defects, mental abnormalities and increased risk of leukemia (cancer of the bone marrow) in children.31

Rent/board wanted

Johnny from Hornby

Hello everyone. My name's Johnny and I'm looking for a place to call home from late-August onwards. I'm leaving my current abode on August 7, doing a house-sitting gig for the next fortnight after that, and then looking to move in somewhere on August 23 (Wednesday) or the following … View moreHello everyone. My name's Johnny and I'm looking for a place to call home from late-August onwards. I'm leaving my current abode on August 7, doing a house-sitting gig for the next fortnight after that, and then looking to move in somewhere on August 23 (Wednesday) or the following weekend (August 26 & 27) at the latest. I work in Rolleston, so a location either there or in nearby Templeton or Hornby would be preferable - but I'll consider anything. I'm looking for a boarding/flatmate situation, internet facilities a must, and long-term please; let's face it, moving sucks. I'm 49, pleasant, child and pet-friendly, clean and tidy, always pay rent in advance and am extremely respectful of other people's 'space' and property. Work-wise I'm employed in the harness racing industry and have been for over three decades - marketing stallions, managing syndicates, writing articles, and designing and maintaining websites. Life is busy, but I like it like that. Hobbies include playing pool and poker. I don't have a lot of household furniture by choice, but own the basic necessities like a bed, dresser, and a couple of other nice things. It'd be great if the room you're trying to fill is large(ish), and/or if you had a little bit of space in your garage for me to store a couple of boxes, an armchair and a small table. I'm domesticated, so I don't need anyone to do my washing or cook my meals thanks; I buy my own food, make my lunch every morning, and then clean up afterwards every time - it'll be like I'm not even there. If I sound like the sort of guy who'd be 'right at home' in your home, please send me a text on 021 883 713 and I'll get back in touch with you as soon as possible. I've still got a few weeks to find a place, but I'd like to get it organised. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Cheers for reading, Johnny.
