Marijuana medicinal hypothesis

Marijuana medicinal hypothesis

Marijuana medicinal hypothesis should not mislead you in any way because the substance is destroying life

Marijuana medicinal hypothesis: Is marijuana medicinal?

The marijuana medicinal hypothesis is misleading. And even though the components of the marijuana plant may have some medicinal properties, this is not enough to say that marijuana is medicine? Lest separate facts from fictions. That is not the same as medicine. Medicine is made when a laboratory extracts the medicinal compound, standardizes it meaning that it will it will be consistent in its functions each time it is applied and doses it a standardized amount the doctor prescribes. Why do I make this reference of marijuana medicine connotation? As a professional, it is important to note that the term “medical marijuana” is often applied to the complete, natural and unprocessed marijuana plant and its crude extracts, which are not scientifically recognized or approved as medicine in the medical profession.

I am perturbed by certain actions people take or what they believe. It concerns me that in many instances, marijuana is popularized and marketed as a medicine but the fact will always remain facts. In this case, despite that perception about marijuana, the fact that marijuana is a drug hasn’t changed. The basic facts about marijuana haven’t changed simply because it’s marketed as a “medicine.” Let me bring it closer to your hearing that even though the debate over legalization of this drug presses on, facts will still remain that legally does not equal to safety. Take for instance the product cigarettes are legal but that has not changed the fact that they are health hazardous. In the same way, alcohol is legally allowed for consumption but look at the number of people battling with the complications of alcohol addiction or illnesses associated with alcohol abuse.

Marijuana medicine connotation: Marijuana affects driving

The road carnage today on our roads are disturbing and do you know why? It is all about substance abuse. When we say that marijuana medicine connotation you may not understand until you get to know that the use of marijuana significantly impairs judgment, coordination and reaction time and so when under the influence of such drugs you become a contributor to the road carnage and a serious impediment of road safety. Take note that marijuana is the second most commonly psychoactive substance found among drivers after alcohol that is why marijuana users are 3 to 7 times more likely to have a car crash.

Finally, dear reader, you have a duty to play in this discussion and so if you’re driving under the influence of cannabis you are not part of the solution to the problem and possibly a campaigner of the school of thought that marijuana is medicine. I don’t know what is going on in your mind now but if you are struggling with any kind of addiction, we want to offer you professional solutions. All you need to do on your part is to schedule an appointment to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center with doctor Dalal Akoury today for your breakthrough in the recovery process.

Marijuana misuse facts and myths: What dealers will tell you to sell?

The known facts around marijuana and other substances of abuse are very disturbing. And the dealers will do anything to add salt to the injury this is very evident in the findings where some teens were surveyed with a view to finding out why and when they started using drugs. 55% of the respondent were categorical that it was due to pressure from their friends and that they wanted to belong and popular. These facts are known to the dealers and so they will approach you as a friend and appear very helpful with the myth that the drug will help you fit in and feel cool. All these are nothing but an invitation to make them sell at the expense of your health and life in general. They will talk good about marijuana, cocaine, heroin and all kinds of drugs. In all these doctors Dalal Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center advice these are all traps and you must never fall prey. You may want to seek more professional advice from the experts at this facility by calling on doctor Akoury today. But for now, let’s understand more about marijuana as a substance.

Marijuana misuse facts and myths: Cannabis

Marijuana also is known as cannabis is often rolled up in a cigarette like a form for easy use. Besides that, it can also be brewed as a tea or mixed with food or smoked through a water pipe called a bong. In the US this drug comes third among the most abused substances at 16%. Marijuana is often more potent today than it used to be. Growing techniques and selective use of seeds have produced a more powerful drug. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the number of marijuana-related emergency room visits by young pot smokers.

One of the most important facts about marijuana is that when ones begin usage, it’s tolerance builds up, and by and by the user is likely to graduate into using more stronger drugs to achieve the same high. When the effects start to wear off, the person may turn to more potent drugs to rid themselves of the unwanted conditions that prompted them to take marijuana in the first place. The truth is that marijuana only masks the problem for a time while the user is high and when the “high” fades off, the problem, returns more intensely than before prompting the user to turn to stronger drugs since marijuana no longer “works.”

Marijuana misuse facts and myths: Long and short-term effects

Like any other drug, marijuana has both short and long-term effects on its users. Loss of coordination and distortions in the sense of time, vision and hearing, sleepiness, reddening of the eyes, increased appetite and relaxed muscles. Heart rate can speed up. In fact, in the first hour of smoking marijuana, a user’s risk of a heart attack could increase fivefold. School performance is reduced through impaired memory and lessened ability to solve problems. Long-term use can cause psychotic symptoms. It can also damage the lungs and the heart, worsen the symptoms of bronchitis and cause coughing and wheezing. It may reduce the body’s ability to fight lung infections and illness.

Marijuana misuse and disorders

Marijuana misuse and disorders effects are very evident in the way the attack users health

Marijuana misuse and disorders: Effects on learning and social behavior

There is no doubt that marijuana misuse affect’s critical skills related to attention, memory, and learning. In an effort to finding facts about these, researchers studying this compared 65 “heavy users,” who had smoked marijuana a median of 29 for the past 30 days, and 64 “light users,” who had smoked a median of 1 for the past 30 days. After monitoring them very closely for about 19- to 24-hour period of abstinence from marijuana and other illicit drugs and alcohol, the undergraduates were given several standard tests measuring aspects of attention, memory, and learning. Compared to the light users, heavy marijuana users made more errors and had more difficulty sustaining attention, shifting attention to meet the demands of changes in the environment, and in registering, processing, and using information. The findings suggest that the greater impairment among heavy users is likely due to an alteration of brain activity produced by marijuana.

Longitudinal research on heavy marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who used have lower achievement than the non-users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends. From the research, it was also very evident that there were more anger and more regressive behavior (thumb sucking, temper tantrums) in toddlers whose parents use marijuana than among the toddlers of non-using parents.

Marijuana misuse and disorders: Effects of marijuana on pregnancy

The health of mothers often becomes very delicate particularly during pregnancies and this could become even more complicated with substance abuse. It, therefore, means that any drug of abuse can affect a mother’s health during pregnancy no matter the quantities used. Therefore, this is a time when mothers should take extra special care of themselves. It is true that drug abuse may interfere with proper nutrition and rest, which can affect the good functioning of the immune system. Doctor Akoury states that from the available based on the research findings it has been established that some babies born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy were underweight that is to say, they were much smaller than those born to sober mothers who did not use the drug. The understanding of that is that smaller babies are more likely to develop health problems.

As we get to the end of this article, it is important to understand that nursing mother who uses marijuana will definitely pass some of the THC to the baby through the breast milk. Experts at AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD have established that the use of marijuana by mothers during their first month of breast-feeding can impair the infant’s motor development (control of muscle movement) which is not very good for the baby. Finally, all these threats of life can be avoided or treated professionally if only you could schedule an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury who is an expert in her own right in all matters relating to substance abuse and addiction.
