AP / Boris Roessler, who daily reach for joint, get type and massive health problems
For one joint in the evening is a relaxing beverage, for the other entry into the drug career. The physical and mental consequences of Dröhnung are certainly not harmless.
Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug in Germany. Around two million German smoke at least occasionally a joint. It is mainly young adults between 18 and 25 years, including more men than women who smoke pot.
About the possible harmful effects that may be irreversible, consumers often know too little. For who consumed marijuana for years, permanently threatened his health - the evidence of scientific studies. The long term consequences are especially critical for adolescents and young adults.
The substance in the resin of the cannabis hemp is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Mostly it is inhaled into the lungs and passes through joints in the bloodstream and into the brain. Smoking weed can lead to high emotions and relaxation, some consumers also take audio and visual sensations of intense exercise. On the other hand, cannabis can also cause restlessness and anxiety. In addition, THC does not physically dependent - in the long run, however, it may well be a psychological dependence.
Marijuana increases the risk of accidents
Who has smoked a joint, is no longer suitable for the road. The researchers of the Canadian Dalhousie University in Halifax found when they analyzed the results of nine studies with a total of 50 000 accident causers. The investigations considered only major accidents resulting in death or serious injury. The scientists led by Mark Asbrigde come after evaluation of these studies to the conclusion that cannabis users twice as likely to cause serious traffic accidents as sober road users. It's enough to have smoked in the last three hours before departure a joint, the researchers report in the journal "British Medical Journal". Reason: Cannabis affects the cognitive and motor skills that are needed to reach your destination safely.
Kiffen harms the brain
A recently published long-term study from the USA shows that cannabis lowers IQ irrevocable. Researchers led by Madeline Meier from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina found that cannabis use can permanently damage the central nervous system and reduce IQ. The research team reported in the U.S. journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences".
Apparently taking the IQ from the greater, the earlier people start to consume cannabis. Among regular users, they found that certain areas of the brain significantly deteriorated and this goes on for years. In addition, their studies showed that long-term pot smokers have more trouble concentrating or remembering something.
Risk of respiratory diseases
Who for years intensively inhaled marijuana, which can thus harm his lungs. The smoke of a joint appears to contain numerous pollutants, their effect on the human body is still unclear. Some studies find an increased incidence of bronchitis among regular consumers. However, other studies could not confirm this result. Often cannabis is mixed with tobacco, which can be especially dangerous because of the additional vascular damaging effect caused by nicotine.
Psychosis and schizophrenia
Many studies go to the questions, whether regular smoking pot can cause psychosis. John McGrath and his colleagues asked for their 3801 study, between 1981 and 1984 births according to their cannabis use in recent years. Almost half of the study participants had experience with the drug from the hemp plant. 65 subjects suffering from a severe mental disorder, such as schizophrenia. 233 participants had at least one symptom of psychosis.
Compared to subjects who consume no cannabis, the long-time Pothead had a double risk of developing psychosis. When testing for delusions they cut off four times more likely with high values. "The relationship between dose and effect was clear. The longer the consumption, the higher the risk of psychotic behavior, "the authors wrote to John McGrath in the" Archives of General Psychiatry. "
To exclude the possibility that a genetic predisposition or environmental factors responsible for the mental disorder, the scientists, a group of 228 pairs of twins studied very carefully. Again, the terms of cannabis use and mental health consequences or waiver was clear.
Simple and straightforward, the relationship is not, however, as the study authors stressed. So inclined subjects who at a very young age mental health problems, much stronger for cannabis use. "People who were vulnerable to psychosis intervened earlier to cannabis. Drug use increased then the trend and led to specific psychotic symptoms, "says John McGrath. Hallucinations, delusions, and the loss of reference to reality people worry that over the years regularly consume cannabis. Whether and how much does a psychoses noticeable, also depends on the duration of drug use.
Apathy and low motivation
Experts argue about whether cannabis causes consumers to permanently lose motivation and develop a general disinterest. The so-called Amotivationssyndrom is therefore still controversial. Apparently, it depends on the dose: Who smokes pot every day, is more than a certain apathy develop moderate casual pot smokers - with a corresponding impact on the performance in school, study or profession.
Cannabis as a gateway drug?
Long cannabis was suspected to be particularly dangerous because it will bring a taste for harder drugs young people. Scientists at the University of New Hampshire examined whether this assumption is correct. The result: Whether young people who consume cannabis, later switching to harder drugs, depends primarily on whether they have a job. The researchers used data from 1286 young adults who had attended in the 90s in Miami public schools. They found that those who as a teenager consumed hashish and other illegal drugs more frequently among them who could not have a high school or university degree had as their peers who had completed their training successfully.
On the subject of cannabis as a gateway drug, however, showed that those who smoked than among 20-year-old marijuana and after their time at school found a job, were strikingly high risk to move to harder drugs. Others who did any regular work, drugs did not. "A workplace young adults may therefore protect against taking drugs," said study leader Karen Van Gundy.
In addition, the study revealed that the authors published in the "Journal of Health Social Behavior to" yet another interesting detail on: There is an age limit above which the risk to switch to harder drugs, no longer exists. "While in youth marijuana can serve as a gateway drug, this effect no longer occurs after the 21 Age is reached, "Karen Van Gundy said. Age is therefore a protective factor, because the teen speak out grow out of this problem - regardless of socio-environmental factors such as education, employment and family status.

Cannabis had for thousands of years in medicine have a firm position. Healers and shamans continued the medicinal plant among others migraine, malaria and joint pain and numb pain after surgery and childbirth. It was not until the mid-20th Century disappeared hemp drugs in the course of the general prohibition on cannabis market. In recent years, however, research tied back to the original use of the hemp plant.
Scientists discovered that certain isolated cannabinoids have detectable effects against some diseases. These include primarily the substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). How are anti-inflammatory medicines could with cannabinoids. In addition, they have proven effective in the treatment of chronic pain and side effects of chemotherapy in cancer - and they relieve discomfort caused by AIDS.
