Marijuana
in your System
Marijuana stays in your system
for different amounts of time depending on how often you smoke it, how much
you smoke, and the makeup of the individual (weight/height/etc). If smoke it
occasionally it will remain in your system for up to 10 days. If you smoke marihuana
on a regular basis it will stay in your system for as long as 30 days. Marijuana
is fat soluble. It stores in the fat cells of the body, the brain, the liver,
the kidneys, in other words the major organs.
Marijuana affects many areas of the users system, such as the lungs. Individuals
who smoke marijuana regularly for a long time find that they are more susceptible
to contracting chronic bronchitis or pneumonia than those who do not smoke.
It affects the brain as well by clouding the brain and making it hard for the
cells there to send messages to each other. Marijuana also makes it hard for
messages to travel from the brain to the rest of the body. The area of the brain
most harmed by marijuana is the hppocampus, the short-term memory area.
Marijuana also affects your immune system. This is the system that keeps the
body free from harmful things. When users smoke marijuana on a regular basis
their immune system becomes weaker, loosing the ability to stop allergies, pollens,
bacteria, or viruses from making the body sick.
