Just a heads up for Cannabis Party Tokers:

the other I' ve read that you now can buy HHC even in any of the neighbourhood tabacco and liquor stores.
And just 10 minutes ago, I see they have small boxes of that and out of curiosity I get one.
4,50 Euros. Back at home I realised the box was empty and it really is a small plastic pocket grinder for marihuana.

Morale of the story: cannabis makes your brain shrink.
Another morale is that it does cause a kind of addiction, when reading an article triggers a reaction like that.

But the ccn story could have many unknown causes we dont know, like most if the time in medicine its just correlation within somewhat unclear data. So hard to tell what the risk is. I guess its hard to find people who eat marihuan and never smoked or were never around smokers much, do not drink, eat healthy and live reasonably healthy. Same for vaping. Hardly anybody who never smoked starts vaping THC or CBD I think.

Cannibis is POISON.

When will you drones realize this? But I guess if you yourself are poison that’s the kind of thing your body and mind need, right?

Interestingly, the late Dr Christian Raetsch who wrote the worlds only complete compendium and enzyklopedia of psychoactive plants, strongly advised against cannabis too.
And I agree with him. But I am a hypocrit regarding this.

NB he pretty much tried all the things he wrote about I assume, probably more than once or twice in most cases I guess.

I'm by no means an expert, but a few thoughts come to mind.

First, perhaps the symptoms are a result of prolonged inhalation to Butane When lighting up cigs, it's a very short burst of Butane, but when firing up rips the flame and Butane exposure is much longer.

Second, perhaps it's the type of plant strain There are so many available at the dispensaries. They even have Hybrid strains now.

Third, the potency is astronomical in comparison to the stuff being cultivated during the 60's.

In today's market, you now have "concentrates" and here may lie the issue. These are the edibles, gummies, cookies etc. Dab, hash, and oils that leave flower in the dust in the category of strength by comparison of THC content.

No matter what one's preference is, anything in excess above the level of moderation can be bad for one's health and well being.

I saw this article, thought it was pretty interesting for risk factors.

I have seen marijuana only COPD/emphysema, which one medical journal author suggested calling "snoop dogg lung".
I have seen depression and anxiety made much worse with THC, and when they stop, the mood improves, and when they restart it worsens.
But by far, the most common thing I see from marijuana is cannabis hyperemesis syndrome.

I don't smoke or smoke weed but a huge part of the problem is superskunk is just too strong, it's not pure, it has been modified to have higher THC in it, when I did try weed that's what I had and it was just too much for me.

Word is that second hand pot smoke is lethal.

Yep, poison - like most plants. Plants have no claws or teeth to fight off predators or legs to run away - so they protect themselves via chemical warfare. Plants are poisonous inflammation bombs to carnivores such as humans. A small percentage of people can tolerate them with few ill effects, but most people will experience sustained physical decline through eating only plants - and the farting! Oh my lord!

At least with cannibis you get some entertainment/enjoyment in exchange for poisoning yourself.

you, a cannibis advocate?! I'm shocked..

I couldn't care less what people do with their own bodies - as long as they don't do it whilst driving or anything else that may harm others.

Both the article in CNN (chronic propaganda-machine) and JAHA (which letters sum to the date of the report and that of the article: 228) have titles which bear English gematria of them being coded lies. They lie by the numbers so as to unburden their karma. Fam: I've smoked and now vaped cannabis every single day for forty-odd years, now, and have no issues related to that, B'ruch haShem. However, I don't smoke tobacco and never drink alcohol and now I don't even burn the leaf...I boil off its resins using a ViVape II - all glass - controlled heat - like a Weller soldering iron... So the fake science on sweet leaf is because the Church - regular distillers of inebrients - want people drunk, rather than high on hallucinogens so that they don't break free of their mind-control, innit? Perhaps they think if you believe on this report you'll think you might as well just drink booze.... However, cannabis use without the combination of alcohol and tobacco can break one's mind free of the invisible cage that keeps you from noticing the coded messages that appear in the news via the language of letters symbolizing numbers of occult significance, such as the Gregorian date-number, and the values of the gang-tags used by the Church's military orders... For example, the article's title sums to 317, as does the name of the author. 317 is code for 'LIE' since the numbers, 317, spell out the word, LIE, upside down. Also, notice how she says the values 42% and also 25%. Dog, those are the gematriot of the word, 'marijuana'... They have to give us a small chance in order to ascertain that they're faking Science. But I assure you, there's no way in Hell that the article and the report are even sincere, let alone factual. Facts, attached:

You don’t have to be a scientist to know that marijuana is toxic. Just take one hit and you’ll see.

EVERYTHING is poison in the wrong dosage.
But alcohol is the most harmful drug in society.

Smoking anything is obviously not good for your lungs in the long term.

Use what you want, makes you enjoy life and treasure your people. Just understand moderation, consequences and that every human reacts to things slightly different to others.

Vaping some weed and watching some comedy at the end of the day, is fun as f**k. Highly recommend.

Actually the reason we react to cannabis is the body produces it's own...I want to type "cannabinoids" but that's probably spelt wrong....it's pronounced like that...that we react to in a similar way. Cannabis (or more accurately THC) triggers the same receptors - through chance really - and gives the reaction we get.

Technically everything - including water - is poisonous to us in the correct doses. Certainly the associated chemicals/smoke associated with ingesting cannabis isn't good for us. But cannabis being "poison"? No more so than anything else in life.

The link between increased schizophrenia and cannabis won't go away - but who's to say which way round it is? Are potential schizophrenics more likely to take cannabis rather than cannabis bringing on schizophrenia? After all, a particular group of people who are known (statistically) to be heavy cannabis users have a roughly 10x (apparently genetic) increased risk of schizophrenia over the generic population - this might skew the figures and point the fickle finger of blame at cannabis - when it's merely a cultural influence.

Explain cannabinoid receptors and our endocannabinoid system then, and why there hasn't been one single documented case of cannabis poisoning or overdose related death.

You're entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts friend.

I can't tell if that was Freudian or just serendipity, but it *was* hilarious!

Reports aren’t facts friend. Get your facts straight.

I had stopped smiking for decades due to a career and being a pilot. Then I started smoking again. Sometimes I enjoyed being stoned and other times, not so much.

What really got my attention was when the pipe got plugged up and as I was cleaning it it dawned on me that all that goo in the pipe was also going into my lungs. I decided then and there that I was done smoking.

Eating is an option but the high lasts a lot longer plus I admit, I actually liked the smoking part because for me, it was like a little treat.

Anyway, I may still smoke on occasion - I only take one hit but for the most part, I'm done. There will be no regular use for me as I do not want to be putting that goop in my lungs. I figure one hit every now and then is not likely to cause harm but the regularity factor is permanently off the table.

Almost anything can be poisonous, it‘s the dose that makes it a poison.

that's the word on the street.

Responding to imaginary statements is never a good sign friend.

i take it you're not a vegetarian?

Slow down friend, it seems you're responding to the wrong conversation.

Where there's smoke there's fire. Have a good day sir.

Unless you’re one of the very few who are unfortunately susceptible to psychosis, go ahead and have your fun, y’all!

Here's what the Mayo Clinic is saying:

Is medical marijuana safe?
Further study is needed to answer this question, but possible side effects of medical marijuana may include:

Increased heart rate
Dizziness
Impaired concentration and memory
Slower reaction times
Negative drug-to-drug interactions
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
Increased appetite
Potential for addiction
Hallucinations or mental illness
Withdrawal symptoms

***
Moderation is the key me thinks. Recreational use is being approved in many states as well as in other countries. Alcohol overuse leads to many problems and perhaps overuse of Cannabis can increase the above symptoms.
