Marijuana Might Be Affecting Your Skin...
Weed, grass, Mary Jane, pot... call it whatever you'd like, but marijuana has been around long before 1937's "Reefer Madness" warned of its (arguably overblown) deleterious effects. These days it's more common than ever, thanks in part to its medicinal uses. But are there beauty ramifications that come with the decision to smoke?
We decided to find out. Whether or not lighting up is your thing, it doesn't hurt to know exactly what marijuana can do to your skin and appearance. So we spoke to two New York-based dermatologists, Dr. Bobby Buka and Dr. Ariel Ostad, and found out some surprising facts about America's most commonly used illicit drug.

their hands in cold water, a procedure meant to replicate symptoms of pain.
Interestingly, all 30 volunteers were selected based on a prior history of
marijuana use. However, dronabinol was
found to provide longer-lasting pain relief.
