Smoking Spice and Smoking Marijuana

Smoking Spice

The "Spice", is officially incensed. It is a mixture of dried herbs for scenting the home, but unofficially, some of the smoke. Spice is the name for synthetic cannabis created during the 1990s. Marketed as a legal alternative to marijuana, users smoke spice like they would any other plant product. Some countries and localities have banned spice due to its similarities to marijuana. Like cannabis, users of spice smoke the synthetic product by rolling it in tobacco paper and often mixing it with some tobacco leaves, according to the Legal High (Compton, 2004).

Advantages of Smoking Spice

Smoking Spice may help in fighting against the spread of cancer. The researchers discovered that the possibility of delta-9 four-carbohydrate effective to prevent the spread of gamma herpes viruses that are associated with increased cancer risk.

Different herpes viruses (herpes) on gamma herpes viruses responsible for genital herpes and cold sores.

Once the infection is difficult to get rid of the virus as it lies dormant for long periods within white blood cells.

But despite, the virus that can be back into action, and suddenly begin to replicate itself, out of the cells to infect other cells. Once the cell injury increases the chances that cells become cancerous.

Disadvantages of Smoking Spice

There are different criteria for assessing the dangerousness of drugs: a general toxicity on the body, a dangerous individual and inter-individual, and finally a central nervous system toxicity. The wide distribution of receptors in the body to which the different addictive drugs can bind explains their numerous toxic effects at different levels (Fisher, 2006).

1) General toxicity

Cannabis smoke contains the same toxic and carcinogenic element (tar) to the lungs than tobacco. Bronchial inflammation, asthma and disorders of respiratory function alterations were observed among heavy smokers of cannabis.

2) Toxicity on the central nervous system

The use of cannabis does not seem to neurotoxicity, as it can be defined by criteria neuroanatomical, neurochemical and behavioral problems. However, the contribution of new molecular biology techniques can assess how thin the gene regulation. A recent study reported changes in expression (increase or decrease) of many genes involved in the structure of the neuron, or in signal transduction in the rat hippocampus after three weeks of exposure to THC. This preliminary study needs further consideration, and neuro-imaging should help visualize the actual disorders caused by drugs. Currently no irreversible change has been observed, but this does not mean that THC is harmless, and observed significant changes in consumer behavior (cannabis overdosed with up to 20-25% THC and high daily consumption) may fear the onset of toxicity have not yet assumed (Dennis, 2004).

THC and cardiovascular system

The consequences of cannabis use depend on the dose consumed and the individual. However, we can cite an increased pulse rate, and swelling of blood vessels (vasodilation), which manifests itself in particular through red eyes. Similarly, Cannabis would interfere with a reflex that allows the body to react by vasoconstriction in the case of low blood ...
