Is Marijuana Harmful to Health?

There's just no way to talk about marijuana without someone completely misinterpreting what I say. Some of you are going to call me a fascist for saying anything bad about pot. Others are going to attack me for not coming down on it hard enough. But the truth of the matter is that many things that are far more dangerous than pot are totally legal in this country. That's not my opinion, it's what scientific studies show us. No one is saying marijuana is totally safe. But is it so bad for you that it should be illegal, even though it has benefits? Watch and decide. Happy weed day.

And, yes, we do know about the new study on brain development, which came out long after we taped. But as with a lot of research, it's being totally misinterpreted by the media. Go check out the references to see a nice article where the author of the study says the same thing.

[@jotahsgaming939]

I came to this conclusion based off of the comment section, based off of my own knowledge/experiences and based off of debates. Cannabis is not entirely to blame for anxiety . I believe, It's the man made high amounts of THC that is the underlying issue. You might ask " what do you mean man made?" Well growers engineer higher amounts of THC into cannabis now so you can get higher and they also lower the amount of CBD during the process. And that right there can be an issue for most people specially to new consumers. CBD and THC co-exist from one another to help make you relax and enjoy the high. If one of the two chemicals are out of balance, your most likely going to have an uncomfortable experience. Either one giving you a certain high that you love but giving you anxiety during the session or another that relaxes you, but not give you the high that you want. It's a pretty technical thing just because it requires more balancing with things compared to alcohol. so everybody pretty much varies with consuming cannabis and that's why there's a lot of misconceptions with it. If you give a man who never dranked before a can of beer. He would probably be buzzed out . But if you give him a bottle of vodka and tell him to finish it . He would be vomitting, sweating, have mood swings and probably regret ever taking the bottle to begin with. That same scenario can be applied to cannabis aswell. If random people are consuming random amount of THC, then that in itself can be dangerous. It ruins your mental state by giving you high amounts of anxiety or psychosis. Know what your taking , start low with THC and do not go overboard with it. If you still feel uncomfortable with the lowest amount of natural unfucked with cannabis, then it's time to try CBD oil/flower , it has the lowest amount of THC. In fact I say start out with that first if your curious about cannabis. Be responsible in what you consume and you should be A okay! I believe drugs like this are not the issue, its the lack of knowledge that the school system/ public needs to update on and know. Consume responsibly and be safe 👍

[@davidalearmonth]

I'm also quite surprised that smoking marijuana would have no ill effects on one's lungs. In principle, inhaling any source of particulate or partial combustion products is going to be unhealthy to some degree, and contain potential carcinogens. Of course based on our evolution, especially in northern latitudes, we've likely lived with wood smoke in our environments for a very long time, and before that we would have still had dust and such, so I do understand that our bodies would be built to deal with a certain amount of it. Is Ingesting THC as effective for the potential benefits? Based on the reasons above, I assumed it would be safer. (and if nothing else, at least you're less likely to impose / impact other people around you who may not be interested in partaking in MJ / breathing in smoke). Oh, and for interest sake, I've never tried smoking, or drugs, and have only briefly tasted the occasional forms of alcohol, but have never had a full drink, nor been drunk. I'm not religious or anything, I just never saw the need / never had an interest, and figured these things weren't particularly healthy. (though I do enjoy eating chocolate).

[@healthcaretriage]

Go read the study...

[@jlchambe77]

Healthcare Triage Go read this study... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23846283 Here is a well done study that showed increased rates of lung cancer in people who smoke marijuana more than 50 times. The study you chose to use was of a relatively young population, so people did not start to develop lung cancer yet.

[@davidalearmonth]

Jeff Chamberlain Thank you! I hadn't had a chance yet to read HT's referenced study, nor to search for further ones such as this one you've cited. I will take a look at both of these later this week. This is part of the more nuanced discussion I was hoping for. :) It should be obvious that breathing in particulate, and/or partial combustion products, is something that one's body then has to work to expel, and that could be damaging.

[@davidalearmonth]

Jeff Chamberlain Of course we can still discuss at what level of harm we require to decide to make it illegal, similar to alcohol and such, especially if there are potential benefits for some people. (though I'd still say to use it in a less harmful manner, like potentially ingestion, would make more sense).

[@davidalearmonth]

Jeff Chamberlain Healthcare Triage Ok, I've read the studies. Interesting. Certainly seems like Jeff's article is a more recent followup to the previous Sweden study. Makes sense to me. Was this not an article you felt was relevant Aaron? I'm also glad that the JAMA article discussed some of their unusual findings, and potential reasons proposed for them. (since one should always try to Explain the data, where possible) By the way Aaron, if your only response to my original comment was going to be "Go read the study...", then you really shouldn't have bothered. I was intending to open up discussion with other viewers. Your statement isn't really a discussion, and again your potential tone is more dismissive than anything. Similar to your flippant comment to me previously. I know that you likely don't have time to respond / discuss all the comments posted to your videos, I can completely understand that. So I would advise that you should Not bother responding, unless you are going to make a serious attempt. Try to act more like a real person wanting to discuss a topic, if you are going to. Even a short comment such as "I was surprised too, but this appears to be what the data has found" would have been more friendly. (assuming that is true. I would think that as a Doctor, you would also agree that breathing in carcinogens can be harmful. Even your articles linked talk about this, in case you were unaware of the chemistry involved, since I don't know your full background.) I guess I'm saying that you have a public image now. And not that you should compromise scientific integrity, but that people will want to interact with you, and that the way you do this will win or lose viewers, and will win or lose people's opinions on the science, to some degree. Just look at the image that Hank and John put forth on their channels.

That's an extremely simple take on a complicated problem. If all drugs affected only the people taking them, that might be ok (and let the users deal with the health problems their stupidity brought unto them), but some drugs cause people to behave in ways that can easily hurt other people, whether through some mania or by impairing the user's judgement enough for them to go and do something stupid. But in evaluating each drug for potential to harm others, there are arguments against ALL drugs, including alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana, the big three labeled as "least destructive" by our society. So yeah. Way more complicated than a solution like, "just legalize it all," can handle.

As an ex-cannabis user I don't judge anyone who decides to use it for therapeutic reasons. What I find extremely depressing is how some people actually need to consume pot to actually enjoy spending time together with their friends. The last sessions I had with my ex-pot buds were really eye-opening because everyone (except for myself) was high; watching them became progressively more depressing. They needed to consume drugs in order to enjoy playing videogames or watching a movie; I find that behavior truly ridiculous. That being said, it is absolutely outrageous that alcohol (which is potentially more dangerous than many other illegal drugs) and cigar are still considered legal when they have proven to kill people both in the long and short term.

One must also consider that unregulated marijuana can be covered in pesticides, herbicides and fertiliser, not to mention all the other harmful additives used to thin out the product and such. Legalising and regulating marijuana could decrease any harm it does do.

[@tabula_rosa]

actually once you legalise it big bussiness will crush out smaller growers and lobby so that they can turn the marijuana into as much as a fuck-fest as the rest of american agriculture. Legalised for medical use (where all you need to do to get a prescription for it is tell a doctor you have a headache) keeps the growth and sale of it in just enough of a gray area that the potential legal costs for a big, nation-owning corporate conglomerate outweigh the potential benefit of destroying people's lives for a quick buck and the bussiness remains relatively local and easier to control. This is the only reason I oppose openly legalising weed sale-- it's better for the weed bussiness

[@scott98390]

***** False. For example: Despite being legal for recreational use in both states, in Colorado it is indeed legal to grow up to six plants for personal use; however, in Washington, personal grows are still illegal.

[@scott98390]

"Yes", you're obviously "right".

[@jamesmurray4176]

Christopher Brown Totally agree except for the part about minors getting their hands on it. While I agree that there are likely adverse effects on the developing brain, I think it's probably easier for kids to get it as an illegal drug since drug dealers hang out at the schools. I bet most peoples' kids can get pot easier than they themselves can. Regulation at least makes it a bit harder for kids to get their hands on it (not that some wouldn't obviously).

[@tabula_rosa]

***** what's the point of legalising it if you'd wind right back up growing it in your basement like a criminal? As far as I see it, legalised for personal use (like a bunch of states have) and medical use (ie too much red tape for industry abuse) works good. Once you open the doors to the big dogs the environment of the industry quickly gets changed to shut down anybody but the richest benefiting from the stuff, I'd hate to see something people enjoyed turning into starbucks.

Honestly, if it becomes legalized, the tax money from it would be great, on top of this, we wouldn't be wasting resources on arresting people or trying to stop its flow, or jailing people for it, etc. Furthermore, companies can just tell you not to come to work while high.

I'm neutral to legalization, but if it is legalized in more places then I think that we'll see plenty of examples of manslaughter connected to marijuana.

Should also be pointed out that the US spends $50 billion on the War on Drugs that started in the 70s under president Nixon which has yet to stop people from using illegal drugs and instead of just legalizing and regulating drugs like every country should do, our prolonged "temperance" movement is causing thousands of deaths from drug over-doses and criminal activity in Mexico and the US. It's also the #1 crime sentence in the US and accounts for almost 1/4 of all incarcerated persons and half of all newly incarcerated persons.

[@Goabnb94]

I'm fine for people wanting to smoke it, and it does have medical benefits. However, they need to be aware that a)it is addictive (yes caffeine and alcohol are too, but so is marijuana), b)it does impair brain function like alcohol so no DUI, and c)it shouldn't be sold to kids, and thus it needs to be regulated.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Goabnb94 I have very little problem with medical marijuana. However, we have first-hand data to show that doctors don't often care about whether their patients' medical marijuana cards are real or even needed. On top of that, it's possible to grow marijuana that has low levels of THC, so you get the medical benefit without the detrimental effects. I'd be just fine with that strain being legal--but of course, that's not what most people want when they advocate legalizing weed. They want the high. And that's where I say, "No, screw you. You want to mess with your brain, then you are a danger to society and deserve to be taken out of it until you stop."

I bet you were already on a slippery slope before smoking.

I smoked everyday all day since I was 14 . I’m 24 and went through probation and thought I’d never could ever stop . Out of nowhere 2 months ago I lost the urge . It never stopped me from being productive . I just don’t enjoy being high anymore . I’m not even sure why

I found the pulmonary study to be very misleading. They're really studying how limited smoke inhalation doesn't adversely affect pulmonary function. (cynical note: but such a redundant study won't get the funding dollars or a paper published). The negative affects on lung capacity come from the sheer volume of chronic smoke inhalation. And the volumes either group were exposed to are on opposite extremes, as to make the conclusions obvious. (Tobacco users reported smoking multiple cigarettes a day, while marijuana users reported smoking a few times a month.) They're simply reporting that given *current usage patterns*, marijuana is less harmful to pulmonary function than cigarettes. (cynical note: but if marijuana were legalized I have no doubt that cigarette companies would jump on it and eventually, after their brand loyalties are established, create weaker and weaker joints to drive up sales. Thereby equalizing smoke inhalation volumes and negating this study). FYI I'm all for decriminalization of marijuana, and think smoking should be banned (or whatever the equivalent is of making smoking illegal-ish)

As a regular pothead I am glad to hear it, finally! Remember tollerence breaks though, they work.

Newest studies show using cannabis in your teens or as an adult is not linked to mental illness, asthma, or cancer.
