Avatar n tn i am a 16 year old diabetic type 1 who would like to know the dangers of smoking cannabis?
Avatar f tn I would highly recommend that you refrain from smoking tobacco during pregnancy, the dangerous part about smoking cannabis is inhaling burning plant matter, not the cannabis. Not to contradict Dr. Julia, but the alleged "dangers" of cannabis have thus far been thoroughly debunked, there has been no recent unbiased studies to support the outlandish claims made by most orthodox doctors. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/100/1/79.abstract?
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 n tn s disease -- and cannabis has been shown to be of use in reducing the severity of that disease. Would cannabis cessation increase the odds of a crohn's relapse or flare, requiring that steroids or methotrexate be used? That increased disease activity and the prescription medications have many obvious risks ... how do we weigh that against a general (non-specific) suspicion that cannabis is the cause of the liver problem?

Avatar f tn I quit smoking cannabis about 2months ago after around 3yrs constant smoking, I got anxiety from it and all the other symptoms of withdrawal.
Avatar m tn Also the withdrawal symptoms I have faced without cannabis are a lot like those of oxy so I am not really sure which is causing the cold sweats.. lack of appetite and so on.. My main way of smoking cannabis was blunt too so I am not sure if I could be also facing nicotine withdrawal??
Avatar m tn Rather than worrying about your having lung cancer perhaps you should concentrate of phasing yourself gradually of the cannabis. I am not being judgmental but I do believe that most if not all of your problems are lifestyle related. I wish you well.
Avatar f tn okay,first off..smoking too much weed will make you have a seizure,it prob- isnt good for ur son because he already has them right? okay,give him a drug test and get info and explain some things to your child.
Avatar m tn cataylst for this spiral of bad symptoms was that I smoked a bit of cannabis (really stupid of me I know)....then I suffered panic attacks (I suffer from anxiety disoder anyway) and then all these things began : First symptoms - flashes/floaters in vision, slight eye deviation, slight face turn and head tilt, difficulty focusing eyes and convergence problems.
Avatar m tn This with the heightened mental activity cannabis creates, easily leads to anxiety attacks. Because of how much my heart rate increases when smoking cannabis, immediately after smoking I can feel my aorta throbbing in my abdomen! I've learnt to just wait it out, as this subsides within about 10 minutes, however the uncomfortable bloating feeling does not.

Patients who used cannabis daily had a significantly lower body mass index than non-daily users (25.2 versus 26.4), were more likely to be using medically prescribed cannabis (57.1 percent versus 8.79 percent), and more likely to have HIV coinfection (39.3 percent versus 18.2 percent). The prevalence of cannabis use amongst adults in the U.S. is estimated to be almost 4 percent.
Avatar m tn Because the subconscious mind contains the habit of smoking, it is essential to access this part of the mind. This can be done through relaxation. Once you have accessed the subconscious, it is then possible to change the subconscious program or "thinking" that creates the habit which compels you to smoke. By changing that habit and practising other methods of managing stress, a person can free themselves of a smoking habit forever!

Avatar m tn what did ur doctor say about u smoking pot if ur trying to stop drinking?sobriety means total abstinence from all mood altering drugs.....u may see that in time continued pot smoking will trick ur brain into thinking it can drink again.it is most unwise to take a combo of Rx drugs and use street drugs w/it.
Avatar m tn It is not for everyone. You can definitely feel numb from smoking cannabis- sometimes this is the exasperation of an effect referred to as 'couch-lock'. Instead of feeling like you are glued to the couch, it can be as extreme as loosing the ability to speak or all motor functions. If you are going to smoke again, which I hope you aren't, try to do it in a more still and safe environment. Being in a public place when something like this is happening can make it much more scary.
Avatar m tn I am having few hours everyday at different times when i feel myself back to normal. I never tried smoking weed/cannabis/sativa in my life before. This was my first time. I quit smoking cigarettes for almost a year now. I don’t drink alcohol. I did following investigations: 1. brain MRI , 3. blood and urine test 4. ECG All results were good and doctors confirmed that all signs are normal. please advise what can I do to gain my senses and become normal like before.
Avatar f tn Why risk something that has been scientifically proven to affect an unborn fetus? Science was a whole lot different for our parent's generation, scientist know so much more about the dangers of smoking than before. I just couldn't see myself taking chances like that knowing as many negative stories about it.
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 I have been off of all drugs for over a year. After a 19 year hydrocodone addiction followed by a 7 year Suboxone addiction I am finally clean and free! I checked out NA in 2002. They were not cannabis friendly then (except for small talked about circles). Since people on Suboxone are welcomed in NA, I am just wondering if a silent cannabis activist would be welcome? Would they be offered clean time if they used cannabis?
1386425 tn?1280119158 The use of a vaporizator for smoking cannabis is highly recommended as what you get is a vapor containing at least 90% THC. There is no link with the you of vaporizator to smoke cannabis and damage to the lungs. When using cannabis (please stop saying marijuana because this word was invented as a tactic to make it illegal back in the years) for medical reasons you should use a vaporizator. Ingesting cannabis will last more longer but you need massive doses to get the same effect.
Avatar n tn listen carefully.... my exs brother was a regular weed/cannabis smoker for 16years before he became ill with scitphzo and anxisty etc etc me and my ex first notcied a change in andy me ex bro when he started saying starange things ..one day we picked him up from his flat and he opened his door with such a stoned scary look on his face and when we got our car he started telling us that we'd been outside the night before shouting 6floors from down stairs up to him at 1am in the morning .
