Checking the analgesic effects of marijuana on the human body, a group of scientists from Oxford concluded that such influence is virtually nonexistent. Results of studies have shown that pain under the influence of marijuana is not only not subsiding, but sometimes worse.

In some countries, soft drugs in recent years, is used if a person needs a light anesthesia. Very often drugs are used for   oncological illnesses to reduce reception Opioid analgesics . During the experiment, two groups of test persons constantly given two kinds of preparations. Some volunteers receive a placebo, the other - a tablet that contained marijuana. Upon receipt of the funds was applied to the skin of humans or the usual cream or cream containing the enzyme hot peppers. This cream was initially causes intense burning, and later - a lot of pain.

This experiment revealed that the intensity of pain in people from both groups was similar. Action marijuana was expressed only in the fact that the person who uses it as an anesthetic, could proterpet severe pain over a longer period of time. By studying the brain scans, the researchers found that components of marijuana have an impact on areas of the brain responsible for emotional component of pain. Consequently, soft drugs do not help quench the pain.

At the same time, research by American scientists suggests that marijuana continues to be popular among young people. Until today, many teenagers consume soft drugs. According to the survey, 6, 5% of high school students from the United States every day, smoking marijuana. At the same time, five years ago the figure was 5, 1%. Experts say that young people mistakenly believe marijuana safe. So, in the process of study found a significant reduction in IQ among those aged 13 to 38 years regularly abused by smoking marijuana. Moreover, the decline in intelligence says even those people who have stopped smoking, but always did so as a teenager.
