The legitimate debate ended here a long time ago. Actually it ended with the thread title.

 

 

Know anyone with a disease? Read this

 

That is the title. It is not pot cures everything or that pot cures all disease, as some of you morons continue to claim. It says, if you know anyone with a disease, read this.

 

Why? Because the knowledge may help you or someone you know, dipshit! Because the endocannabinoid system is involved in a great many bodily processes. It is an intercellular communications network that was not discovered until relatively recently. As stated in one of my first posts, cannabinoids were not researched for the past 75 years and so may be involved in some of the more confounding diseases afflicting us.

 

If I could expand the title I would add .... Know anyone with a Disease? Read this (unless you are too ignorant to understand new information)

Put that in a search engine and the list should be linked.

 

No put it in the title of a thread on a message board if you want to be have a serious debate.

If this is how you debate.....

 

Wow.

 

Next time read it w/o an attitude. You'll feel better or you should.

 

No, not debating. I don't debate with people who start threads like this. I make fun of them.

A new study claims marijuana is tied to a threefold risk of dying from high blood pressure — but there’s a catch.

Isn’t there always?

A new study suggests that anyone who smokes marijuana faces a threefold risk of dying from high blood pressure than people who have never used the drug.

Those findings sound alarming, but it’s important to keep in mind that, like any study, this one has limitations, including that it defines marijuana “users” as anyone who’s ever tried the drug and that it doesn’t differentiate among strains of a highly unregulated product.

However, the study highlights some key areas for future study — including how using cannabis might affect the heart.


 



Criminalization made thorough studies of marijuana’s health effects almost impossible, and a study like this one amalgamating one-time users with habitual users probably doesn’t have much utility, either.

This needs to change, now that there’s greater legal tolerance for the drug, so that individuals and governments can better understand what we’re getting into.

Ah, pot...the cause of and solution to heart disease...

so..... these people are so drug-saturated that heroin and morphine aren't even viable options for hospital and medical procedures?

 

and we drink 50g of sugar into 6 drinks a day and eat sugar-breakdown foods into the taxing on our systems...

 

will be interesting to see how it plays out the next 20 years.

More like 300g.

 

That's how much I have in front of me.

The obits for the druggies I went to school with are piling up as we hit our early 50s.

 

Last week's would smoke up with his parents at the dinner table, starting when he was 11 years old.

 

Yay.

Cannabis is not at the root of today's opiate crisis. It is a horrible shame that so many are dying from drug use, but not all illicit drugs should be grouped into the one bucket. In fact, doing so has contributed to the problem. Users don't have the fear of opiates that they should, partly due to the fact that marijuana wasn't as bad as advertised by such programs as DARE. Counter-intuitively, the illegality of a drug does not speak to it's danger.

 

Cannabis may help current opiate users decrease or even eliminate their dependence. Also, cannabis concentrates could certainly be used as an additional weapon against pain. Wouldn't it be wiser to start a patient on a safer, less addictive option before resorting to opiates, given so many are having problems kicking the opiates after their pain has subsided?

Marijuana is the worst, all things considered.

 

It normalizes the expectation of getting high with every use.

 

Nothing else in the low-end of freely available substances does this.

If you are saying cannabis is worse for an individual user than opiates, you are terribly misinformed about the relative dangers of opiates versus cannabis.

 

Also, are you implying there is no high with opiate use?

I'm high right now and I have no idea what you are trying to say.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am joking about being high.

Of the sect of heavy potsmokers I went to school with in the 70s and 80s, 12 (the vast majority) croaked before their 50th birthday, just added 2 more last month to that special list in my thoughts.

 

I'm sure a few were bumped off due to the inherent hazards of thinking you could rip off people in the trade...
