Marijuana is a psychoactive drug that contains close to 500 chemicals, including THC, a mind-altering compound that causes harmful health effects.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

Edibles pose a greater risk for poisoning. Edibles can take 30 minutes-2 hours to take effect, so some people may eat too much, cause intoxicating effects that last longer than expected, and can be unpredictable.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

Marijuana use is on the rise among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women. People ages 18-25 have the highest rate of use.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

Contrary to popular belief, marihuana is addictive. 1 in 6 people who begin using marijuana before the age of 18 become addicted. 1 in 10 adults who use marijuana become addicted.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

Using marijuana can affect performance and how well people do in life. Research shows that people who use marijuana are more likely to have relationship problems, worse educational outcomes, lower career achievement, and reduced life satisfaction.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

Marijuana use during pregnancy may cause fetal growth restriction, premature birth, stillbirth, and problems with brain development, resulting in hyperactivity and poor cognitive function. THC and other chemicals can also be passed from a mother to her baby through breast milk.

[BCCHCNJ @BCCHCNJ]

People who drive under the influence of marijuana can experience dangerous effects such as slower reactions, lane weaving, decreased coordination, and difficulty reacting to signals and sounds on the road.
