Marijuana is only second to alcohol in popularity as a recreational drug. It is estimated that more than 500 million people smoke marijuana on regular basis. Probably that is why there so many other words to describe the herb (thats one!): Cannabis (botanic), Marihuana (different spelling), herb (bob marley), Weed and Pot (US slang), Hashish (middle east), Hasj (common in in holland). Unhappily, cannabis is illegal in most countries (even technically speaking in the Netherlands). And that is a fucking shame! Compared to alcohol marijuana causes few problems for individual and public health. It is no idiot speak to say that most of the problems caused by cannabis have their roots in the illegality of this weed.

The Marijuana high is a complex experience, involving a wide range of psychical, physical, and emotional responses. Based on one's personality, mood, disposition, and experience with the drug. The intensity of the marijuana high depends primarily on the amount of THC present in the marijuana. Most people will get marijuana high from a joint containing only 0.5% of THC. Grass containing 3% of THC would be considered excellent quality. Once the legal restrictions are removed, marijuana will probably be sold by particular blends of cannabinoids and standard amounts of THC.
