HI THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
MARIJUANA/SMOKING WEED IS PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE PRONE TO A LOT OF ADVERSE EFFECTS WHEN CONSUMED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
IT CAN CAUSE RAPID CHANGES IN BLOOD PRESSURE AND CIRCULATORY DISTURBANCES.
IT CAN CAUSE MUSCLE CRAMPS AND MUSCLE PARALYSIS.
EVEN THE DIABETIC STATE CAN BE ACCELERATED.
ITS CONSUMPTION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS METABOLIC AND RENAL DISTURBANCES PRECIPITATING KIDNEY FAILURE.
LARGE DOSES CAN EVEN PRECIPITATE SUDDEN
PSYCHOMOTOR RETARDATION.
IT HAS TENDENCY TO CAUSE SEIZURES/FITS/CONVULSIONS IN DIABETICS.
IT CAN CAUSE IMMUNOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES, MEMORY DISTURBANCES.
DIABETICS ARE ESPECIALLY PRONE TO DEVELOP HEART ATTACKS,STROKE,AND IMPAIRED MOTOR SKILLS AND PERCEPTIVE DISTURBANCES.
I STRONGLY ADVICE YOU TO QUIT WEED/POT/MARIJUANA ON AN IMMEDIATE BASIS SINCE ITS SIDE EFFECTS ARE QUITE OBVIOUS TO DEVELOP IN YOUR CASE.
DEADDICTION HAS TO BE CARRIED OUT UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.

CONCLUSIVE OPINION/ANSWER:
QUIT MARIJUANA UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.
