This drug marijuana is the most commen illigal drug in the United States. It's made out of dry, shredded green and brown mix of flowers, stems, seeds, and leaves of the hemp plant. They make Joints out of it that look like little cigarettes and bluts which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, that carries the chemicals to organs throughout the body, including the brain. Marijuana can cause brain problems like memmory and learning and problem solving. It also can cause driving reckless. You can also get addicted to it easliey for some people. It can risk a heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana.Marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate. NOT GOOD! Marijuana can irriate your lungs. People that smokes Marijuana usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which further increases the lungs exposure to carcinogenic smoke. It also can lead to cancer.

Cigarettes is made up from cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, combined with other stuff. Then rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped cylinder. The term cigarette, refers to a tobacco cigarette but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as cannabis. Also cigarettes can be addictive to people and can give you all types of cancer like:heart disease, respiratory disease, circulatory disease, birth defects, and emphysema. Those are Not good at all. Cigarettes contain nicotine an addictive stimulant which is toxic. They deliver smoke to the lungs immediately and produce a rapid psychoactive effect!!

So is cigarettes worse then Marijuana? By reading everything I wrote I think cigarettes are worse becasue you can get ALL TYPES of cancer!! Marijuana it only really irritates your lungs and cause brain damage a little. And before I looked everything up I always said cigarettes are worse and they actually are. SO people really need to be careful. They should just quit smokeing cigarettes and even marijuana. But some people cant they just to addicted to it wich is not good at all!

http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htm THis website was actually good. Had alot of infomation on it. It talked about how marijuana is abused, how marijuna affects the brain, What Other Adverse Effect Does Marijuana Have on Health, effects on heart and lungs and effects on daily life. Its also interesting to read. The U.S department of health and human services wrote this infomation. So this is trust worthy. Its not a yound kid writing this for fun. They put hard work on this and it looks good. So I trust this website. I would most defintley recommened this website to peoples. They should like it as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette This website has good infomation but anyone could have written this. But I think its truthsworrthy because first of all they have refrences. Like foot notes. SO like say if I dont know a word I will click on the foot note above that word. So thats good. Also anyone can edit this if they see something wrong like something that is not true. I think everything is true because I personaly know a little something about cigarettes so everything they had said I kind of already knew. So I would aslo reccomend this website for people to learn about cigarettes.
