Hashish and hash oil are process- ed, more powerful forms of marijuana. Marijuana is usually smoked in cigarettes called "joints," in pipes or in water pipes called "bongs." The effects of the drug differ for different people, often depending on the mood they are in or their expectations of the effects. Almost immediately after smoking the drug, most people experience a euphoric feeling, similar to being mildly drunk. Some of the more noticeable physical effects include a redden- ing of the eyes, a more rapid heart beat and often an increase in appetite.

In- creased irritation and damage result. The psychological effects of regular marijuana use are just as serious a concern as the biological effects. Studies show that regular marijuana users often experience apathy, lack of motivation and impaired judgement. The chronic user, however, is usually unaware of any change of personality.
