Introduction The Internet has for a long time been used as a source of information, especially in this information age. It has for example plenty of extensive information regarding drug abuse. For many people, it has become the main source of research material and also information on the issue. However, some of the information posted in various internet libraries lack credibility and reliability. Enough of the information is unsupported and draws heavily from personal opinion. The reliability of the information is also pegged on the author’s objectives as some of them are interested in furthering the course of the legalization of drugs. In this paper, I am going to draw a comparison from two internet sources where I intend to carry out a careful analysis to ascertain their validity and reliability on their discussion about marijuana drugs. Comparison of the websites Marijuana is a drug extract drawn from the cannabis Sativa plant. Both websites agree that marijuana presents a cocktail of effects in the human body. Some of the short term effects include: sleepiness, weakened memory, difficulty in performing brain involving tasks, marked increase in the heart rate, increased risk of cardiac failure especially for those suffering from heart diseases, redness of the eyes, dryness of the mouth, and also causes panic and anxiety in users.

In addition, it contains almost the same quantity of harmful carcinogens as a cigarette. Long-term use causes some form of dependency on the drug. There is an agreement between the two sites that this drug is the most widely abused in the US and that marijuana is readily available in almost every corner of the country. The websites agree that the consumption of marijuana causes depression, anxiety, and psychological disturbances. The drug also reduces the ability of an individual to learn and store information in the memory. Prolonged consumption of the drug causes addiction to an extent as indicated by the two. Those addicted experiences withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Those who attempt to quit experience insomnia, discomfort, and anxiety to a small extent. Contrast The former argues that psychological imbalances experienced such as anxiety, panic, and paranoia are often temporary conditions. The author also argues that marijuana can only cause short-lived
