Horrifying simulation shows what happens to your body if you smoke weed every day

A health simulation has exposed what could happen to your body if you smoke weed every day.

While Snoop Dogg might sing about it like it's nothing to worry about it, and he's probably the man who knows most about it, there can actually be a lot of health risks associated with the drug.

Of course, other drugs in society such as cocaine and ketamine get more of a bad reputation when we think about their dangers, with cannabis often seen to be far safer, particularly in the many countries and US states where it has been legalised.

However, moderation is the key to enjoying nearly everything, and smoking weed daily could lead to potential problems in your heart, lungs and brain.

A simulation from Dr Boogie on TikTok has collated data from various scientific studies to sum up all the health issues that could arise if you become dependent or addicted to weed and smoke it every day from a young age.

It states: "THC binds to the brain receptors causing short-term euphoria and and altered perception."

When cannabis is smoked daily, a person's tolerance to it increases meaning they need more of it to experience the same effect and high.

This can prompt 'potential changes in memory and learning areas'.

"Over years of daily use, especially starting young, chronic exposure can cause lasting changes in structure and function like reduced volume in areas for decision making and memory with cognitive impacts," the video continues.

Healthline adds: "In people younger than 25 years, whose brains haven’t yet fully developed, long-term cannabis use can have a lasting detrimental impact on thinking and memory processes.."

It's not just your brain that will supposedly suffer however, as the video goes on to explain how your lungs and heart health will decline due to excessive smoking, much in the same way that smoking tobacco or vaping might.

You are likely to develop symptoms such as 'chronic cough, increased phlegm, bronchitis symptoms and higher airway inflammation similar to tobacco effects in heavy users'.

Doctors and studies have previously suggested that excessive cannabis use can increase your chances of heart disease or heart failure and the video emphasises that further.

Fortunately, it seems as if things will quickly improve if you do decide to stop, but then it's all about managing withdrawal symptoms and keeping yourself healthy, if you want to avoid the long-term health issues associated with such excessive drug use.
