Marijuana side effects can be as seemingly innocent as an increased appetite to as life threatening as lung cancer.
Marijuana side effects from an overdose include toxic psychosis including hallucinations, delusions and a loss of self-identification.
Marijuana side effects include physical problems like breathing difficulties and deteriorating physical abilities. Despite a popular belief, marijuana side effects speed up the heart, blood and breathing rate.
The marijuana side effects from this extra exertion on the body include a higher risk for lung cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Depression often occurs with marijuana usage, which feeds into the cycle of more drug use to treat the pain created by drug use. This cycle of addiction is very powerful and users soon find that they cannot stop using the drug even if they want to.
Many people are realizing that marijuana side effects are not to be taken lightly and need to be addressed by professionals.

Marijuana contains some of the same, and sometimes even more, of the cancer-causing chemicals found in tobacco smoke. Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per week may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.
