10 Marijuana Facts

1.  People, who use marijuana, almost never consume another drug that is not considered legal.  Those who believe that cannabis leads to using harder drugs are simply not well informed about the herb. This is a decision that each person makes
2. Marijuana does not cause dependency. A study that was realized by the Federal Institute of Medicine back in 1999, proved that only 10% of people who consume marijuana fall under  a dependence clinical criteria, while alcohol had a 15% result and tobacco a 32%.
3.  The stories of the increase in marijuana’s potency or THC levels are overly exaggerated. Even if there has been an increase in the herb’s potency, due to more knowledgeable and work addicted marijuana growers, the levels of THC are still not that high and even if they were this would not affect our health at all. Data that was made public by the US federal government states that the levels of THC in cannabis which is available in the US market are around 5% and that this number has not changed since the early 80's.
