Instructions

Memory

  • Step 1:
    Marijuana has a major effect on your short-term memory. Your ability to remember things is reduced immensely.

Coordination

  • Step 1:
    Eye-hand coordination worsens when smoking marijuana. Your balance may also be thrown off when under the influence.

Confusion

  • Step 1:
    Your ability to think and make decisions is nearly diminished. The simplest tasks can seem impossible.

Anxiety

  • Step 1:
    Regular use of marijuana increases the chances of having anxiety problems.

Distorted Perception

  • Step 1:
    Marijuana effects all aspects of perception. Anything you see, hear or feel is not the same as it is when you are sober.

Lung Damage

  • Step 1:
    Marijuana smoke can be more harmful than tobacco smoke due to the fact that marijuana smoke is generally held in the lungs for longer periods of time.
