Some people smoke marijuana in rolled cigarettes called joints ; many use pipes, hookahs (sometimes called bongs), or marijuana cigars called blunts (which are usually made by cutting a cigar lengthwise and replacing all or part of the tobacco with marijuana).
1 Marijuana can also be used to make tea, and especially when sold or consumed medicinally, it is often mixed into foods (edibles) such as brownies , cookies, or candy. The most potent forms of marijuana include sinsemilla (sourced from female special care plants) and concentrated resins that contain high doses of the active ingredients in marijuana, such as honey-like hash oil, smooth, waxy budder, and the firm shatter, looking like amber. These resins are becoming increasingly popular with those who consume them for recreational or medical purposes.
The main psychoactive (meaning mind altering) substance in marijuana, which is responsible for most of the heady effects people seek, is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This substance is found in the resin produced by the leaves and buds, mainly of the female cannabis plant. The plant also contains more than 500 chemicals, including more than 100 compounds that are chemically related to THC and are known as cannabinoids .
Marijuana is the most widely used addictive drug after tobacco and alcohol. In 2018, more than 11.8 million young adults reported using marijuana in the past year. 3 Consumption is more prevalent among men than among women. 4
Marijuana use is widespread among teens and young adults. According to the Monitoring the Future survey — an annual survey of drug use and the attitude of middle and high school students toward drugs across the country — most measures of marijuana use among 8. students or , 10. or and 12. ordegree peaked in the mid-to-late 1990s, then began a period of gradual decline until the mid-2000s, before leveling off.
Most of the measurements showed some decline again in the last 5 years. Adolescents' perception of the risks of marijuana use has steadily declined over the past decade, possibly as a result of increased public debate about legalizing or easing restrictions on medicinal and recreational marijuana use.
In 2016, 9.4% of students 8. or graders reported using marijuana in the past year, and 5.4% in the last month (current use). Among students of 10. o23.9% had used marijuana in the last year and 14.0% had done so in the last month. Consumption rates of 12 students or degree were even higher: 35.6% had used marijuana during the year before the survey and 22.5% had done the last month; 6.0% said they used marijuana every day or almost every day. 5
Medical emergencies with a possible connection to marijuana use also increased.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), a health impact surveillance system, estimated that in 2011, there were nearly 456,000 drug-related emergency room visits in the United States in 2011. drugs in which marijuana was mentioned in the medical record (a 21% increase over 2009).
About two-thirds of the patients were men, and 13% were between the ages of 12 and 17. 6 It is not known if this increase is due to an increase in consumption, an increase in powermarijuana (the amount of THC it contains) or other factors. However, it should be noted that mention of marijuana in medical records does not necessarily indicate that these emergencies were directly related to marijuana intoxication.
