Deficient in one of the essential vitamins or minerals breaks down the metabolic pathway that produces optimum efficiency and the performance therefore declines.

Drug Awareness: Marijuana

Excerpt: 
Recent findings also indicate that long-term use of marijuana produces changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs. It can affect the parts of the brain that govern emotions and judgment.

by Narconon Canada

Marijuana is the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Like all plants, it is sensitive to the environment where it grows in. There are several factors that can affect the potency of this plant, such as weather and soil conditions that it grows in. It is these factors that affect the amounts of chemicals inside the plant. Therefore, marijuana grown in a place like Jamaica could be chemically stronger than marijuana from say, Japan or the United-States.
