Facts

Long-term marijuana use leads to addiction in some people. That is, they cannot control their urges to seek out and use marijuana, even though it negatively affects their family relationships, school performance, and recreational activities. According to one study, marijuana use by teenagers who have prior antisocial problems can quickly lead to addiction. In addition, some frequent, heavy marijuana users develop .tolerance. to its effects. This means they need larger and larger amounts of marijuana to get the same desired effects as they used to get from smaller amounts.
According to the NHTSA, vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among young people age 16 to 20. It is generally accepted that because teens are the least experienced drivers as a group, they have a higher risk of being involved in an accident compared with more experienced drivers. When this lack of experience is combined with the use of marijuana or other substances that impact cognitive and motor abilities, the results can be tragic.
Snorting heroin results in an onset of it's effects within 3 to 5 minutes; smoking results in an almost immediate effect that builds in intensity; intravenous injection of heroin induces a rush and euphoria usually taking effect within 30 seconds; intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of heroin take effect within 3 to 5 minutes.
The experienced smoker of marijuana is usually aware of a drug effect after two or three inhalations. As smoking continues, the effects increase, reaching a maximum about twenty minutes after the smoke has been finished. Most effects of the drug have usually vanished after three hours, by which time tests show that concentrations of THC in the body's plasma are low. Peak effects after eating marijuana may be delayed for three to four hours, but may then last for six to eight hours.
