The changes in social life

Bradley Sampson / Addict, Alcohol, Drugs, Social Life /

A social life and relationships change due to the use of these two things. The impact on the social life of a person various from individual to individual, and it also varies according to the amount of the same an individual uses.

Marijuana is a drug that will cause short-term problems with attention and memory. And thus you shouldn’t use it if you have an exam or something similar in near future. Marijuana also enhances some portions of the brain and person may experience a so-called “aha” moment. Some people consider those moments as evidence that cannabis use boosts memory, but the fact is that it stimulates creativity.

marijuana userA person can become very creative under the influence of marijuana, but the subject they focus on might not be something productive. A person may suffer social alienation due to this creativity if the topic of that creativity fails to meet parameter of a social group they are in. It’s not strange to see a good relationship between a pothead (marijuana user) and a person that doesn’t use marijuana. But, in the majority of cases, a pothead will be in a company of those like him, because they can connect on a level and completely understand each other.

Alcohol affects social life on several levels, and we can talk about short-term effects and long-term effects. A drunken person can be funny and a good social figure, but they can also be aggressive and anti-social in situations that require some level of social interaction. Alcohol can cause embarrassing social slips due to lack of control a drunk has.

Both of these “substances” will change a person, and the change can be positive or negative. On the long term, the alcohol will change person totally, and sale can be said for cannabis as well. The changes aren’t same, but they still happen.

Long And Short Term Health Consequences

Bradley Sampson / Alcohol, Consequences, Marijuana /

Both of these vices (marijuana and alcohol) have short-term and long-term effects on the health. We will address direct ways through which these two affect the health, and we will leave indirect ways for later.

Don’t listen to people who tell you that marijuana doesn’t influence the health in a negative way. One a person smokes cannabis the increase in blood pressure and heart rate is imminent. A person can’t overdose on pot, but they may suffer some health issues if they already have problems with increased heart rate or blood pressure. Marijuana also impairs balance and coordination which may lead to accidents and injuries.

Binge drinkingWhen it comes to health, alcohol has more severe effects. A person can die from binge drinking, even if they have drinking experience. Binge drinking can cause the inability to metabolize alcohol in the body, and this can shut down various parts of the brain. This includes those responsible for respiration and heartbeat.  There is a significant similarity between the way alcohol is metabolized and the way other more severe drugs are metabolized. This means that mixing alcohol with drugs and medications can cause side-effects that can harm the body. Drinking while being on medication can either increase or decrease the effects of those drugs (drugs as well).

Long-term health consequences of alcohol are known well. Heavy drinking can cause a plethora of medical conditions and it also can lead to other threatening issues. Alcoholic liver disease is just one of many medical conditions that are a direct result of heavy drinking. Many conditions that are caused by alcohol lead to life-threatening conditions, including liver cancer. It all depends on the people and their bodies. Some people have predispositions to certain diseases, and heavy drinking will increase the risk. In some other cases, the alcohol acts as the primary factor that instigates a medical condition.

marijuanaLong-term health consequences of cannabis use are still unknown. The lack of research that is caused by the illegality of the marijuana prevents long-term research and therefore there isn’t evidence that can pinpoint the exact effects of marijuana. Long-term use of marijuana may (or may not) worsen already existing psychiatric issues. Some evidence also indicated that long-term use of cannabis could have negative effects on reproduction, but there isn’t enough data to reach a conclusion. Some also suggest the increased risk of lung cancer, but, once again, there isn’t conclusive evidence to support that because many marijuana users smoke cigarettes that do increase the possibility of lung cancer.
