A common plant (Cannabis sativa), its chief psychoactive ingrediant is delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. The amount of THC in the marijuana cigarette (joint) primarily determines its psychoactive potencial.

Most users experience an increase in heart rate, reddening of the eyes, and dryness in the mouth and throat. Studies indicate the drug temporarily impairs short-term memory, alters sense of time, and reduces the ability to perform tasks requiring concentration, swift reactions, and coordination. Many feel that their hearing, vision, and skin sensitivity are enhanced by the drug, but these reports have not been objectively confirmed by research. Feelings of euphoria, relaxation, altered sense of body image, and bouts of exaggerated laughter are also commonly reported.

Scientists believe marijuana can be particularly harmful to lungs because users typically inhale the

filtered smoke deeply and hold it in their lungs for prolonged periods of time. Marijuana smoke has been found to have more cancer-causing agents than are found in cigarette smoke. Because marijuana use increases heart rate as much as 50% and brings on chest pains in people who have a poor blood supply to the heart (and more rapidly than tobacco smoke does), doctors believe people with heart conditions or who are at high risk for heart ailments, should not use marijuana. Findings also suggest that regular use may reduce fertility in women and that men with marginal fertility or endocrine functioning should avoid marijuana use and that it is especially harmful during adolescence, a period of rapid physical and sexual

development.

Research is limited, but scientists believe marijuana which crosses the placential barrier, may have a toxic effect on embryos and fetuses.

Tolerance to marijuana, the need to take more and

more of the drug over time to get the original effect, has been proven in humans and animals. Physical dependence has been demonstrated in research subjects who ingested an amount equal to smoking 10 to 20 joints a day. When the drug was discontinued, subjects experienced withdrawal symptoms -irritability, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite and weight, sweating, and stomach upset-.

Most commonly reported immediate adverse reaction to marijuana use is the "acute panic anxiety reaction," usually described as an exaggeration of normal marijuana effects in which intense fears of losing control and going crazy accompany severe anxiety. The symptoms often disappear in a few hours when the acute drug effects have worn off.

Although the United States in the 1800's didn't seem like a good place to present Shakespearean drama, it was. Americans weren't well-educated and, compared to Europe, the U.S. was a wild country with uncomfortable accomodations and primitive transportation. But famous European actors who crossed the Atlantic with their productions found that in the cities, small towns, and even mining camps of the United States, there was plenty of money to be made on classical drama.

In order to earn that money, however, actors had to do much more than just memorize their lines and look handsome on the stage. They had to be managers of their own theater companies. Edwin Booth, one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of his day, chose the plays his group performed, organized the players, and took charge of rehearsals. He also took care of business, and that usually meant making the complicated arrangements for taking a company "on the road."

The road was any place outside New York City that had enough residents to fill a theater. A theater was any place that held a group of people willing to pay to see a live performance. So plays were put on just about anywhere, including the general store. The audience, which was usually starved for contact with the outside world, often had a very dramatic reaction to the plays. More than once the actor who was unfortunate enough to be playing the villain was attacked while on stage for his evil ways. But despite all the problems, a good company could earn thousands of dollars for each week on the road, and that was reward enough for the difficulties of the job.

Perhaps the greatest American tour of all time was Sarah Bernhardt's farewell tour in 1916. By then she was successful and wealthy, and the most famous actress alive. Although she was 71 years old, she had more energy than people half her age. She toured for eighteen months, giving 266 performances -some in town halls, some in broken-down theaters, some in a borrowed tent, and even once in a skating rink-. She won fans wherever she went. The tour earned over a million dollars, of which she received $305,000 in profit. The great actress was also quite a moneymaker.
