Where ever you go you see drug dealers and you see people hiding something maybe it is something illegal,our drugs.What harms people alot is the drug marijuana that causes alot of diseases like cancer, lung problems or heart problems and almost all people from america have these diseases.

1)How do some drug dealers increase their profit?

By putting powder milk and rat powder.Sometimes they lie like saying that it can make your life better or they even sale them to young kids like my age.

2)How do they study Marijuana and what do they find out?

Scientist say that marijuana is not the only drug that lives,their is cocain,heroin,Ecstasy,and LSD.Then theirs the bad one and that is Marijuana that can kill you.Some other scientist say that any kind of drug can kill you because all the drugs give you really bad sicknesses like cancer,heart problems and the bad one is aids.There is more I can say. So we better be carefull with the drugs you smoke.

3)Where does Marijuana come from?

The plant grows in Afghanistan and many people smoke it and many women had gotten addicted to it.It also comes from Mexico, colombia, Peoples closets, and chico, and El salvador.It is also grown in Hawaii because of the weather.The bud of the female plant, called sinsemilla, is the part most often smoked as marijuana.

4)How is Marijuana grown?

Marijuana comes from plants from colombia.First you put the seed in the hole and if they don't have water sometimes they put urine and that is very nasty.Hardier variety with rounded blue-green leaves, grown in Afghanistan for hashish.The place has to have a really good temperature and it cannot be that cloudy or else it might not work.

5)How does it affect your body?

Marijuana affects your body in many ways.
