Can someone check whether I put the effects into the right category?
Consequences of marijuana use.
Physical:
rapid heartbeat
dry mouth and throat
bloodshot eyes
Reduced ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination such as driving a car
increase cancer rates
increase rates of respiratory problems and disease
damage the immune system
lead to a decreased ability to concentrate
lead to a decreased ability to learn and remember things
delay the onset of puberty in men
decrease sperm production in men
disrupt the menstrual cycle and inhibit discharge of eggs from the ovaries
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non physical:
loss of coordination or poor sense of balance
decreased reaction time
difficulty in listening or speaking
impaired or reduced short-term memory
impaired or reduced comprehension
impairments in learning and memory, perception, problem solving, and judgment
altered sense of time
paranoia and hallucinations
intense anxiety or panic attacks
psychological independence requiring more of the drug to get the same effect
Are they in the right category? If not, can you correct me.
thanks very much
Since the second category also stems from physical changes, might it not be better to label those symptoms as psychological rather than "Non physical"?
"Reduced ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination such as driving a car," "lead to a decreased ability to concentrate" and
"lead to a decreased ability to learn and remember things" would be more psychological.
"Decreased reaction time" means they react faster. Don't you mean increased reaction time?
"Requiring more of the drug to get the same effect" is tolerance, rather than what I assume you meant to type as "psychological dependence."
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
The above subject heading would be better than "Check!!"
