Marijuana in Pennsylvania

Marijuana use is not only a problem in Pennsylvania, but across the United States. It is derived from the dried flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. The dried hemp is rolled into a joint and smoked, smoked using a pipe, or burned and inhaled from a bong. "Blunts" are cigars filled with marijuana and possibly other drugs such as cocaine. Marijuana is also added to cookies, brownies, or tea in order to ingest the drug. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the active ingredient in marijuana and is absorbed by the body. Marijuana is the third most commonly used drug by teens, listed just after alcohol and tobacco.

For those living in Pennsylvania, long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction for some people. When a person becomes addicted to a substance, they use the drug compulsively even though it often interferes with family, school, work, and recreational activities. According to the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, an estimated 5.6 million Americans age 12 or older reported problems with illicit drug use in the past year. Of these, 3.6 million met diagnostic criteria for dependence on an illicit drug. More than 2 million met diagnostic criteria for dependence on marijuana/hashish. In 1999, more than 220,000 people entering drug abuse treatment programs reported that marijuana was their primary drug of abuse.
