EFFECTS OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Sometimes, marijuana strains that contain high amounts of THC can:

• Alter your senses: marijuana is known to enhance one’s senses, altering the way things taste, sound, look, etc. 
• Cause disorientation or dizziness: it is not uncommon for marijuana users to feel lightheaded, which can cause some discomfort in sensitive users.
• Slow reaction time and impair body movement: Marijuana has been shown to slow motor control. This can make it difficult for some users to complete certain tasks, such as driving.
• Cause short-term memory issues: Marijuana has been known to inhibit the ability to form short-term memories.
• Cause drowsiness or sleepiness: Marijuana can also cause drowsiness in some users. While some look for these effects to help them sleep, users should be aware of this side effect is consuming marijuana during the day.
• Create dry mouth: One commonly reported side effect is a dry sensation in the mouth. This effect seems to be caused by the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the inhibition of saliva secretion.
