Negative Effects of THC

Exploring the Negative Effects of THC

Marijuana is one of the most commonly used illicit drugs in the United States, especially among young adults. Although many advocate for its natural properties, the active ingredient in marijuana, otherwise known as THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, can produce uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous side effects. As an inpatient drug rehab in Florida, we know the dangers that come from using drugs like THC to get high. If you’re tempted to smoke marijuana, you should think twice about the side effects THC can have on your mind and body. 

What is THC?

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of several substances that can be found in the marijuana plant. It is the active chemical in marijuana that’s responsible for its psychological effects. It works by attaching itself to receptors in areas of the brain that play a role in common functions like thinking, memory, emotions, and coordination. When THC attaches itself to these receptors, it disrupts the way they perform, which can affect the person’s ability to function normally.  The negative effects of THC on the brain include the release of dopamine, which produces a euphoric feeling. This will encourage users to continue to ingest tetrahydrocannabinol, which can create addiction and cause further health troubles. This drug also interferes with the normal processes of the brain, disrupting the work of the hippocampus, which controls memories. Individuals suffering from the negative effects of THC can start their treatment in our luxury detox program.   

Negative Effects of THC On the Body

The misuse of THC is risky and can lead to unwanted changes in the body. Because these changes can be critical, users should be treated for their THC addiction in our luxury residential rehab program.    Some of the negative effects of THC may include:1

  • Impaired motor skills
  • Impaired neural brain function
  • Impaired short-term memory
  • Difficulties retaining information
  • Impaired judgment
  • Respiratory problems
  • Anxiety
  • Paranoia
  • Psychosis
  • Disrupted brain development 
  • Decrease in IQ
  • Increased risk of chronic psychosis disorders (like schizophrenia)
  • Relapse in schizophrenic symptoms
  • Increased risk of using other drugs and substances, like opioids

  THC use has increased significantly since the 1960s, resulting in a spike in THC addiction and marijuana use disorder. While it may be derived from a plant, there is nothing natural about tetrahydrocannabinol or what it can do to a person’s body. Overuse of this drug can lead to negative health conditions that may sometimes be irreversible.  At Seaside Palm Beach, we encourage those who are struggling to cut THC out of their lives to seek treatment here. We help people quit their addictions in the comfort and safety of our high-end facility.  For more information about our treatments and facility, call us now at 888-280-4763.  Sources:
