Marijuana
Marijuana is a green, brown, or or-
ange mix of dried, shredded leaves
and flowers from the cannabis plant.
It can be rolled up and smoked like a
cigarette or cigar, or can be smoked
using a bong or bowl. The difference
is usually bongs contain a series of
percolations and the use of water to
reduce the temperature of the
smoke.
Marijuana can make you feel silly,
relaxed, sleepy, and happy.
Most people who smoke marijuana
feel the need to eat a lot of food and
sit on the couch watching television.
