Popular Post gargamon Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/25/health/marijuana-potency-addiction-study-wellness/index.html CNN — Higher concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC – the part of the marijuana plant that makes you high – are causing more people to become addicted in many parts of the world, a new review of studies found. Compared with people who use lower-potency products (typically 5 to 10 milligrams per gram of THC), those who use higher-potency cannabis are more likely to experience addiction and mental health outcomes, according to the study published Monday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry. Scientists have established a “standard THC unit” of 5 milligrams of THC for research. That amount is said to produce a mild intoxication for nonregular users. “One of the highest quality studies included in our publication found that use of high potency cannabis, compared to low potency cannabis, was linked to a four-fold increased risk of addiction,” said study coauthor Tom Freeman, a senior lecturer in the department of psychology and director of the addiction and mental health group at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, in an email.

Popular Post chrischronic Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 BS! more potent weed just means ya gotta take less hits. Why you think we used to roll full size blunts and smoke the whole thing in one session? To get high AF. Now you can take a few hits or a dab to get there. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed may not cause violence but it can sure cause couch-potato-ness........ No, in your face addiction like crack or meth but it can definitely slowly chip away at your motivation and drive with regular use..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Reefer Madness 2.0 is upon us. I agree. Now that we have have addressed THC, now let address the abject abuse that alcohol addition cause. Then you can use the same restrictions on both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bday Prang Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Reasonably easy to discredit that so called "review of studies" Just look at the phrase "5 to 10 milligrams per gram of THC" what does that mean ? 5 to 10 mg of what exactly, per gram of THC ? doesn't even make sense which is, as usual no surprise. A standardised dose of 5mg of THC !!! the only effect that would have is a placebo effect following the money would no doubt reveal the real reasons behind these reports that keep appearing. The various institutions need their funding and the "experts" will say whatever is required of them. to keep themselves in the luxury to which they have become accustomed I think we can expect a lot more b/s from these people over the coming months, I think we know who believes it and feeds off it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but your pal is paying 700bht/gm and I'm paying 4bht/gm. So I can smoke a lot more for a lot less. A fat 1gm cone costing 4bht gets 2 people off! @Anitin, good on yer mate, if I had a vote, I'd vote for you (despite your dirty Farang comment).

Yeah I heard people fall asleep from smoking dope, while when drunk all they want is sex. Probably main reason why she don't want you stop smoking ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Taylor Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 CNN eh. Years ago it was considered a reputable news source. Now it's just far left opinion based stories funded by the ultra rich oligarchs. Big pharma being one of the main ones. I wonder what big pharma could have against legalized marijuana?
