How is Marijuana Taken?
In order to understand how marijuana is taken, it is essential to understand the various ways through which marijuana is consumed by addicts.
You can add marijuana into the cigar tube and smoke it as if you are smoking cigars. Such a cigar loaded with loose marijuana is called a nail or a joint. You can load marijuana into pipes and make use of it to smoke. One of the very popular water pipe used in such a way is termed as the bong.
Yet another answer to how is marijuana taken is the fact that this drug can be mixed with foods or can be used while brewing tea.
You can also cut open a cigarette and push out the tobacco from it and replace that with loose marijuana. This is often called as the blunt. A combination of the blunt and a 40ounce of malt are often called as B-40
Of late, these cigarettes filled with marijuana, the blunt have crack cocaine mixed with them. Such cigars are very commonly called as woolies and primos. Blunts and joints soaked in PCP are well known under the names “happy sticks’ ‘love boats’ ‘wicky sticks’ or tical.

First off I would like to congratulate your ability to lie so openly without being weighed down by guilt like every decent human being would be.
This article, and many on your site, is full of lies and deceit. One thing I did enjoy about your lack luster page was when you stated:
“THC in male…brings in a REDUCTION in the secretion of testosterone hormone within your body.” while at the same time by some miraculous way “THC in women INCREASES the production of testosterone and results in irregular and abnormal menstrual cycle.”
Wow…are you actually trying to pass this off? Well to each his own, I will continue to travel the country smoking weed (yes, just call it weed, it’s a plant not a drug) and educating people about it.
Marijuana is definitely harmful when used very regularly and in large amounts. Whether you deny it or not, that is reality. Who ever understands the bad effects would definitely believe in the ill effects and keep them away from it. Those who ever want to lead a decent and a relaxed, peaceful life will keep away from it

Marijuana indeed is weed; call it pure and natural if you may. However, the fact remains that it’s harmful and addictive. And, there are better things in life to do than to score points on the advantages and disadvantages of marijuana. Cheers!

Okay, first and foremost, you are either lying or extremely misinformed about the long term effects of marijuana use.
This is not a scientific study, but it did contain measurements and tests from real medical doctors. A movie came out a few years ago called “Super High Me.” It was a documentary by a comedian who decided to be his own guinea pig and smoked, took orally, and vaporized cannabis all day every day for 30 days. He went 30 days without weed prior to his first set of medical exams, then 30 days after the smokathon he was subjected to anther battery of tests. I don’t know how it would effect female biology but in men it clearly increased his sperm count by a factor greater than 15%.
Also a substance can’t raise the testosterone levels of males and then increase the testosterone levels in females. This is simply not how biology works. The two sexes aren’t that different when it comes to psychotropics.
You are the worst kind of scum. You fling pretense of scientific knowledge into the faces of the ignorant when you yourself do not understand the very things in which you are speaking.
Carl Sagan, one of the most brilliant astronomers of the 20th century, was an admitted and frequent user of cannabis. I suppose he had problems with comprehension and infertility, what with his five children and his status as full professor at Cornell university.
It is for him why I must drop the infamous “ad hominem” attack. You are a charlatan; worse you are using made up science to further your ambitions. Well sir, science is offended. If you have even a single citation to support any of your arguments (except that smoking weed is bad when pregnant, that’s just common sense) I would be glad to see it.
Also, I doubt English is your primary language because your sentences have absolutely no natural flow to them. This is not an insult, you speak relatively clearly, but I speculate English is not your first language.

The moderate use of marijuana is neither harmless nor devastating to the user. Unfortunately, the politics of marijuana has distorted research findings and made it difficult to find out the truth about marijuana’s effect on human health. NORML believes that honest, verifiable information is the most effective tool to prevent the abuse of marijuana. This text examines the effects of marijuana on the human body, as described by a comprehensive report prepared for the Federal government by the most respected scientific body in teh United States, the National Academy of Sciences. This text first examines some of the exaggerated claims made about marijuana and then provides the truth about marijuana’s effects on human health.
