Marijuana-The Need For Truth |

| News and Information from Narconon® International Marijuana-The Need For Truth Today we are hearing a lot about the legalization and safety of marijuana. Marijuana advocacy groups have been in existence for decades. Such misinformed groups have held numerous rallies and demonstrations and even have multi-million dollar lobbying campaigns working on the federal government. While many people feel that marijuana is not as dangerous as other drugs, most people know and understand that it dulls a person's senses, causes lethargy and lifelessness, and makes them much less productive in life. |

| coping with certain conditions. Most "pro" claims have a ring of absurdity. The consensus is that marijuana does cause harm. But because such a large quantity of pro marijuana information has made it into mainstream society, children today do not view the drug as being nearly as harmful as compared to children twenty years ago. It's far too common these days to find a movie made for teenagers that has scenes with young, popular stars smoking pot. What these movies and advocates fail to mention is the truth about what the drug actually does to a person, such as damaging the lungs, nerves and brain. There are over 400 chemicals found in marijuana smoke and 60 of them have been proven to cause cancer. Marijuana contains the neurotoxin THC, which is a poison that affects the brain and nerves. Therefore marijuana, like any drug, is essentially a poison. When someone smokes pot, there is an almost immediate burn-up of vitamins and minerals in the body. This happens every time someone takes the drug and it causes that person's health to steadily decrease. A person's tolerance to the drug also builds and eventually the person has to smoke pot almost continuously just to feel somewhat normal because they have caused so much damage to themselves. Marijuana's negative effects also last well beyond the initial use. THC is lypophilic, meaning the chemical is fat-bonding and gets stored inside a person's body for weeks, months and even years after use ceases. American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard did extensive research in the field of drug use and rehabilitation and discovered that the stored drug particles can be released back into the bloodstream at later periods and continue to cause further damage and drug cravings. From his research, Hubbard developed a dry-heat sauna detoxification program that is totally drug-free and rids the body of the old drug residues and restores health. This highly effective method of detoxification is used at Narconon ® drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around the world. Ultimately a person should never have to suffer the consequences of drug addiction. Therefore it is vital that we provide both young people and adults with the real facts, and do whatever we can to prevent kids from getting the wrong message. |
