Avatar f tn I know "spice" from personal experience! It's one of many brands called "herbal incense." Spice is not the strongest of them, by any stretch - but herbal incense is a substitute for marijuana. However, it is legal in almost every state. When I tried herbal incense I was visiting my mother in a state where "medical marijuana" does not exist! At the time (NOT anymore) I was smoking a lot of pot...
Avatar m tn ive started smoking pot every day, but just in small amounts to calm me down. (1/3 of a joint daily maybe) recently ive decided to stop smoking too much pot and decided to take 0.5 mg of clonazepam every 8 hours to stop the anxiety and to prevent myself from smoking pot. is this ok? are there any other less adictive pills to calm anxiety and to prevent me from smoking too much pot?
Avatar n tn As far as having type 1 diabetes and taking any drugs that are mind altering have inherent dangers. First of all in an altered state a person who smokes pot may not feel a low blood sugar coming on until it is too late or they are in deep trouble. Another issue is that so many people get the "munchies" after and cannot either help but eat or because they are not thinking clearly, eat foods that are not good for them.
Avatar f tn ve gotten into pot very hard core.. Me and my man - all we did was smoke pot.. It was our bonding thing... We always had a good time.. I got pregnant and stopped smoking.. My boyfriend still smokes and there have been days where he doesn't smoke and I just can't stand to be around him.. He's got a depression problem as well. As much as I'd love him to stop, I know it isn't going to happen..
477219 tn?1208281137 Hi, You should stop smoking immediately. Smoking is deleterious to the general health of any individual at any age and even cause cancers of multiple organs or sites; but is would be especially harmful in your age. If your symptoms still persist after a few days, you should consult your doctor for a clinical examination. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any doubts. Regards.
Avatar m tn Sometimes the pot can stop people being agressive. maybe thats why he smokes it, i know the gov claim pot is bad. but its actually a relaxent. he maybe taking something else if his agressive, or something thats stressing him out or on his mind, pots probley just helping him out. sit down n talk to him. pot will not make him harm his wife or kids.. pots not that dangerous..
Avatar n tn My son was smoking alot of pot everyday and he decided he wanted to be clean. He got rid of everything he had, changed his friends and went through several days, about 5, of w/d's. He's 19 years old and I'm proud to say that he's been clean for 2 months now. It wasn't easy and he said the worst part was that his legs hurt really bad and sleep was hard for a few nights. Make up your mind that you don't want this drug anymore and just do it.
Avatar m tn Hi there, My daughter and her BF had a roomate that smoked that stuff. It's not good. Apparently it is herbs with something that they call synthetic THC. A bunch of chemicals. Here in Utah they are making it illegal because it's considered hazerdous. Google "smoking spice dangers" and there is alot of stuff on it. I think it is telling that there is a push in some states to legalize pot, and yet they are banning that stuff right and left.
Avatar n tn I have hears people say cancer about lot yet have never seen known or heard of anyone out of hundreds of people I know that smoke pot. Nor have I seen respiratory problems. It's actually helpful for people who have asma so iv heard by my best friend who is a doctor.and many others. Myself I'm not a drug snob. Iv done all or them and done them very well. How I'm still alive is a miracle. Drugs all suck. I do appreciate your honesty about weed. Now I will go check out kratom thread.

Avatar m tn Will smoking pot make prescription medications show negitive on a drug screening?
Avatar f tn I was in and out of the hospital nonstop. My ob dr finally told me to try smoking a little bit of weed for the naseua Meaning not to smoke it to get high just to help the sickness. Which thankfully my sickness stopped before I had to try it. But I doubt my dr would tell me to if it was going to cause problems with my pregnancy. I will say it was def not her first choice in telling me.
Avatar n tn Is there any harm that could come to me from smoking just those few times. I knew plenty of people in my community that are serious smokers and do so everyday, multiple times a day. I am not one of those people at all. I'm just a nervous reck, who other than this, is a very healthy person. =/ Thank you.
Avatar f tn I think its both positive and negative. It teaches the kids the dangers of smoking/second hand smoke and the problems it can cause as well as the result od death. As for the negative, the kids with the smoking patents are now worrying about losing their parent(s) due to the day care. Im an ex smoker myself.
Avatar f tn Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers. As with cigarette smoking, hookah smoking is linked to lung and oral cancers, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. Hookah smoking delivers about the same amount of nicotine as cigarette smoking, possibly leading to tobacco dependence.
Avatar f tn Ohkay so I useto smoke everyday until I found out I was pregnant I was about 2-3 weeks pregnant and still smoking cause I didn't know but now that I know I havnt smoked since I'm 11 weeks now but I get soooooooooo tempted to smoke again >.

I did do research on b-feeding and Pot and there is not much - but I did find a study that found when a newborn's (baby under 1 month old) mother smoked pot - the baby had delays at one year.... just something to keep in mind...
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
1699033 tn?1514113133 Next up was a long and open discussion on the dangers of using cannabis. Having raised four teenage boys, I have done quite a lot of research so we had a very in depth conversation on how these substances are made and how unhealthy they are for you. Not to mention the legal dangers of being a minor and having paraphernalia or any kind of drug in your possession.
Avatar f tn If you dont want to use it your self why would anyone want it legalised, what reason could there be, I actually do believe its more harmful than alcohol, ..and what, about the smoking part so then its okay to smoke, I thought the left wanted to be rid of smoking ...so the kids of cigs& pot smoking parents will then for sure copy them ..Sorry but I just dont get it... ...
Avatar m tn Weather or not you agree with smoking pot morally is irrelevant here, this is just very odd & I haven't found any answers. The problem showed up suddenly enough to just deem it "cotton mouth" & ignore it a while, but it is not. I had been smoking pot, no cigarettes, for nearly 7 years before this happened. I have since slowed down my pot smoking to cope with this, but here is what I observed when I was smoking consistently.

Avatar f tn His pot smoking might harm the baby in ways you don't expect, such as, if you don't live in a place where pot is legal, he might get arrested some day. And/or, he is spending a lot of money on his discretionary habit that could go to the baby. I am sure that online there are places to look up whether a heavy marijuana smoker could have flaws in his sperm from the pot, and what kind they might be.
10743983 tn?1440210210 I am actually 35 weeks today. And once we found out, which I was almost two months along at the time, we quit instantly. We too, were pot smokers as well as cigarettes. He can't smoke pot because of his job, but I know he would be if he could. It's extremely hard for me to not do it, only some days. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if he were smoking pot, that was my enjoyment, my release from everything, it helped with my anxiety and put things into perspective for me.
163305 tn?1333668571 Uruguay became the first country to legalize the growing, sale and smoking of marijuana on Tuesday, a pioneering social experiment that will be closely watched by other nations debating drug liberalization. A government-sponsored bill approved by 16-13 votes in the Senate provides for regulation of the cultivation, distribution and consumption of marijuana and is aimed at wresting the business from criminals in the small South American nation.
Avatar f tn Hi lexi. Welcome. While I would never advocate smoking while pregnant now, I did smoke with my first 2 kids. Today my oldest is a 3rd year law student in one of the best law schools in the country. Her sister graduated from highschool with her associates degree that che completed at the same time. She was 16. She is now working on her masters. Just a little reassurance.
