3. Marijuana Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette, joint, or in a pipe. Also smoked in blunts, which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with a mixture of marijuana. Marijuana can be mixed in food or tea. Marijuana smoke has a pungent and distinctive, usually sweet-and-sour odor. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. Marijuana increases heart rate by 20-100 percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. This may be due to increased heart rate as well as the effects of marijuana on heart rhythms.
