Marijuana Linked to Heart Disease and Depression

Cannabis and depression

Cannabis has done my mental health extreme harm, so much so that I had to go to a mental hospital for severe depression and I meet a fair few others there due to cannabis. Don’t buy the cannabis is harmless lie, the people who pedal it have no idea how dangerous their mentality is, it truly is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I now run a forum to help people who have a problem with cannabis. Anybody who needs help from others who have been there, here is the website address.

marijuana, heart disease and depression

Dr.Andrew Weil, well known for his even-handed advice about herbs, alternative medicine and using marijuana for pain OR PLEASURE, says that it is NOT good to use for any form of mental illness. The question is does it also cause it? Of course that is unclear and unlikely to be straightened out soon.

Regular users tend to be biased against hearing or believing anything negative about marijuana and most health professionals and those who are anti-marijuana tend to be biased against hearing anything positive. Yes, a pack of cigarettes per day is bad, but that doesn't make the chemicals in pot harmless to the smoker. That is logical nonsense. That is like saying a Big Mac is harmless since it isn't those awful french fries.

If you have heart disease you probably shouldn't smoke ANYTHING! If you are depressed, perhaps you need to address why that is occuring and consider whether pot smoking partially contributes to that. Just a thought folks.

Marijuana is addictive in some people

Hey All.

Marijuana isnt all good news. About 5 to 10 percent of people become dependant on marijuana and have some serious problems quitting.

I run a site called http://www.marijuana-addict.com. Check it out for more information on marijuana dependence and how I try to kick the habit

Smoking pot

I tried pot for the first time when I was 26.... I weighed 485 lbs. and had chronic back injuries that I was taking several class 2 narcs for. I tried pot and within one year I was no longer on ANY pain meds and I hadv lossed over 90 lbs... I am now 37 and am at 275 lbs blood pressure is normal, blood work is perfect and I no longer am strung out on Vicodans or Percosets and have not taken them in over a decade!!!

I no longer am experimenting with pot..... Now Im looking for Grant money to futher MY research!!! LOL

hashish and marijuana same strength ?

I only smoke hashish. Its is all that is available in my country most of the time. There is no mention of hashish in this article. Hashish is made from the trichomes found on the plant. Marijuana is a term used to describe the buds of the plant. Is hashish worse for your health as opposed to marijuana bud ? And what constitutes as heavy use ? 5 hashish joints a day ? Mind you, I almost never manage to afford enough hashish so that I get 5 joints everyday. What about roachoes ? What is a roacho you ask ? This is where you gather the extinguished joints and empty them of whatever marijuana may be left inside. Once this is done you place the mixture into some papers and roll it as normal. Doesn't taste bad, may be less healthy than "fresh" joints but gets you higher.

I used to look at roachoes with disgust. Now I see it as recycling.

hey just doing my bit for the planet :p

p.s I am not from America.

Smoke

Marijuana is the only happines in life my people so let's enjoy it.

Smoking Pot

I have smoked pot, since 1968. I`m now 59 years old. I own a home near the beach, have 7 cats and worked like hell for 36 years to be here. Now I`m retired, maybe I`ll try some speed for the next 41 years.

Marijuana

well...

smoking marijuana may not lead to depression or whatever, but it's still not good for you

and to the person who said if u can kill a cow and eat a burger, but i cant grow a plant and smoke it, pot has alot of chemicals in it

so if you dont grow it, you probably should'nt smoke it

just one question, taken from my health teacher-

why would anyone deliberately hurt themselves like that?

smoke

Itry to stop but I cant
