How Healthy — Or Dangerous — Is Marijuana Use?

How healthy — or dangerous — is marijuana use?

 

You May or May NOT Want to ask NIDA.

 

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/jul/25/how-healthy-or-dangerous-marijuana-use/?breakingnews

 

According to one NIDA publication, "In 2008, 25.8 million Americans age 12 and older had abused marijuana at least once in the year prior to being surveyed"

Um...so, let's see ... partaking of a plant ... just "once in a year" is "abuse"?!

 

And, then there's this:

Nothing at all about "Medical Marijuana/Marihuana" anywhere.

 

No surprise there, eh?

 

Long past time for all the Malfeasants to get the *BLEEP* out of office!

I love this one the most:

 

How does Marijuana affect driving?

 

"There are data showing that marijuana can play a role in motor vehicle crashes. Studies show that approximately 4–14 percent of drivers who sustained injury or died in traffic accidents tested positive for THC."

 

It just so happens that when they point this out, they ALWAYS fail to state that MJ can stay in our systems for a lengthy period of time.

 

Brainwashing is the work of evil and our govt is SO good at it!

 

I am so proud to say that I live in a country that has the most, if not, ONE of the most corruptive gov't in the world!

Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Marijuana can cause the heart beat to increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, and can increase even more if other drugs are used at the same time.Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, users risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.

A recent movement in the mental health profession has been to retire the term "substance abuse" in favor of "substance use disorder".  So don't worry freemanabis, it's not abuse, you just have a "substance use disorder".  :P

 

Hmm ... maybe, time for some more - appropriate - "disorderly conduct," eh?

Jeepers, eh?!

 

So, then, you might say, if any one of them there anti-free thinkin' LEOs subscribes to THAT clinical philosophy, and then they keep that potentially harmful "useful information" in their bigot-biased minds just before [take it back - waaay ahead of time! knock-on-wood!] they bash some poor, happy, harmless, otherwise layed-back, patient-resident's door in - just after medicating - would not that be even MORE proof [not that any more is needed] in support of their normally, wannabe homicidal, maniacal tendencies?

 

Just the THOUGHT of the heartless, weaponed, jack-booted nazi thugs kickin' someone's door in over a PLANT makes a poor patient's heart jump so MUCH MORE Dangerously faster than THAT!

 

Interesting first post, NYer.

 

By the way, tried the link, but it just brought me to a pill-pushin' place.

 

What's up w/dat?

 

Your negative sounding post almost makes me want to change my "post-no-negatives" standards - but, no need; I see someone else was waaay ahead of me on that one!

 

And, I can't say I'm surprised.

Just checked mine, bp went from 75/124 to 74/121, pulse rate went from 51 to 54 bpm. So, you are saying that this is drastic enough to have a 4 times higher risk of heart attack?? Who says?

The link you posted goes to a viagra site??<_<

If you haven't seen the Documentary "The Union" download it and watch it. Pretty informational about marijuana's history it even talks about how the government did their study to prove marijuana kills brains cells... Which was putting gas masks on monkeys and blowing Columbian joints in their masks for 5 minutes (after 4 minutes of no oxygen your brain cells start dieing) and they wondered why the monkey started dieing?? It talks about many other government rules and regs of marijuana since its existence.

 

The Government will us tell us what they want us to know but never give explanations of why.... Kind of like giving people Medical Marijuana cards but then go raid them and take their belongs without reason......

 

Just a thought

marijuana is going to affect some folks in a neg way. no way around it. saying that it doesn't is like a child repeatedly saying, "nuh-uh," everytime it is told that it does.

 

however, i don't believe that it has the neg affects they would want everyone to believe. alcohol can affect your system, so can cigarettes. for crying out loud, over the counter medications can also affect your system.

 

to argue that marijuana doesn't affect the system is not a good stance to have, as your credibility will quickly be discredited. we cannot take the stance of ignoring the facts that may go against our side. it shines negatively on our campaign.

 

yes, MJ may affect your system, but not to the extent our opposition would have everyone believe. the medications they give us to combat pain affect our systems more than marijuana.

Please I would love to be informed how Marijuana is bad for your system, the proof is in the pudding and I sure didn't see any reasons WHY in your statement it isn't good for your systems. Last time I checked it was being used for pain, fight cancer cells, diabetes, etc. They sure didn't make it MEDICAL MARIJUANA because its bad for you?!?!?!?

Hmm ... now, WHY, oh WHY ... does THAT tactic sound so familiar?!

 

 

"to argue that marijuana doesn't affect the system is not a good stance to have, as your credibility will quickly be discredited".

Say WHAT!?

 

So, who's arguing? And, who on Earth (or any other planet) is saying CANNABIS doesn't "affect the system"?!

I think that it is a good point that med mj affects people differently. My doctor told me that when using ANY medication you must weight the positive and negatives. When the positives outweigh the negatives then it is a proper treatment.

 

I am using med mj for the relief of chronic headaches. I find that med mj works better for me than aspirin or ibuprofin (anything 'aspirin' like causes me drowisness and ibuprofin makes me sick).

Somebody should point out to the author of that study that 99%+ of drivers who sustained injury or died in traffic accidents ingested water of some sort in the previous 12 hours as well, perhaps there is a correlation there as well. "Just say no to H2O" ;)

This heart rate issue is not without some truthiness, but this statement fails to also recognize the values associated with prolonged cannabis use in reducing the likelihood of heart attack while promoting general good health. Not without side effects - but side effects will vary, as they say. And there is no single definition for the plant itself (it's values or effects) - each plant is different, as it were, containing it's own unique cannabinoid et al recipe that only the Colonel himself knows for sure what it is. And there is cannabis naive and cannabis saturated: Experiences will vary from first time to over time. There is learning involved, adjusting to the effects of THC. Unstable personalities (particularly, and including all teens), under the influence of alcohol and MJ pose a considerable risk. I think the NORML studies show an increase in traffic accidents and so on after ending prohibition, but then dropping off as the novelty wears off and better education is allowed to permeate the system.

 

 

What's up with THIS guy?
