Marijuana

 Marijuana is not always what it seems. Marijuana can be laced with other dangerous
 drugs without your knowledge. "Blunts" - hollowed- out cigars filled with marijuana - sometimes
 have substances such as crack cocaine, PCP or embalming fluid added.

 Marijuana can be addictive. Not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, but
 some users develop signs of dependence. In 1999, more than 220,000 people entered drug
 treatment programs to kick their marijuana habit.

Before you risk it.

 Know the law. It is illegal to buy or sell marijuana. In all Caribbean islands, even holding a
 small amount of marijuana can lead to fines or arrest.

 Get the facts. Smoking any substance- tobacco, marijuana, or crack cocaine - increases your
 risk of developing pneumonia and other illnesses, especially cancers.
