Popular Post Social Media Posted July 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2023 Clinical overuse of marijuana is linked to a variety of complications after major elective surgery, including blood clots, stroke, breathing difficulties, kidney issues and even death, a new study found. Using marijuana may affect your ability to think and plan, study says “Our findings complement previous studies that have identified significant associations between cannabis use disorders and perioperative complications,” the study’s authors wrote in the report. The research team is from the department of anesthesiology, critical care and pain medicine at McGovern Medical School, part of the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Why would this be? Smoking marijuana impacts blood flow in the brain and body, decreases respiration and body temperature, contributes to airway blockages, raises blood pressure, increases heart rate, impacts heart rhythm, and more — all of which can make recovery from surgery more difficult, according to a November 2019 review of literature. Use of marijuana also increases post-op pain, according to an October 2020 study. The new study’s finding is significant, the authors said, considering prior analyses have found nearly 3 of every 10 marijuana users develop a dependence on weed called cannabis use disorder.

Are you equating marijuana users to crack heads? Or are you claiming that crack heads have some special interest in defending the use of marijuana? If someone criticizes this article is that proof that they are crack heads? You've certainly raised some fascinating issues with your well thought out reasoning. 8 2 1 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlylekan Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I live in the Netherlands. I am a daily smoker. The last time I went for an operation, they asked me to stop smoking only 1 day before. I would bet that a lot of the problems they have is not from the marijuana, but from the pesticides and herbicides used, and other unnatural things. Do people in Thailand know the side effects of any of the drugs they use from the pharmacy or the pollution cause from burning so much coal and other stuff. This is where most effort should be placed to help public health. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chalawaan Posted July 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2023 Overuse of sugar and processed foods links to surgery complications and death. Let's take bets on which kills more humans; sugar abuse, or weed abuse. What's their point here other than another pointless pearl-clutching demonization of weed? 2 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The article seems to center more on marijuana use among youth, and that is without a doubt most likely true. As for the rest of the article, it's sort of like saying drinking makes you drunk. Pretty much anything that we use has some side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone heaps unfounded abuse on those who might disagree with an article, I think it's in the interests of forum sanitation to address their comments. Or do you believe scottiejohn's characterization that this is "The understatement of the year which all the crack heads on here will now try to "prove" is wrong!"

Afraid I see TAT or cannabis in a headline and I go into debunk/spoof/irony mode. It's pointless arguing with the content. Weed has been around for millennia. Millions around the world have smoked it for millenia. In Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and India in 1969 it was available anywhere. I bought an ounce of opium in the government shop in Kathmandu. It and hash were later criminalised. Decriminalisation is simply putting things back the way they used to be. There's nothing new in it. People who think it's the end of civilization should realize, drugs, psychotropic and all, have been around, and been part of, all civilizations from the outset. More like the start of civilization than the end. Nobody is forced to smoke weed. Yet! But I'm sure WEF have an agenda for that too ????????????!
