Nowadays, Marijuana is a very big topic that everybody is discussing.
I am fully aware that there are lot of threads about it on this site as well.
But this thread is not about debating about it should be legalized or not, it's about the effects of Marijuana.
The reasons that I am starting this thread is not only so that people can share knowledge of what weed can do to your body, but also to hear and learn from people who actually know about it, not through what they have heard or read from others, but from what they have learnt in their chemistry and/or biology classes.
I will start:
When something is combusted in a enclosed space that lacks enough oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will be replaced with Carbon Monoxide (CO) as a by product. Marijuana is not an exception.
Carbon Monoxide is a unstable compound, as its orbitals continuously hybridize and de-hybridize, constantly changing the bond between the carbon and oxygen from a single to a double bond and back. Because it is unstable, it kills your brain cells.
Now this is just what I know so far, I'm still learning.
So please; if you're going to prove me wrong, do it through chemistry and biology. Thank you.
Discuss!
