this is my report on cannabis all my statements about cannabis have been researched from credible sources and from extensive personal experience (all my sources are at the bottom) this comment is intended to spread the facts not bull shit if you don?t agree with what I am saying then you are not agreeing with the facts (I will tell you when I?m stating opinion) and again just because you think weed can help you with an ailment does not mean it objectively does since the effects are very subjective to each user



like for me weed actually made my withdrawals worse it had nothing to do with how I was smoking it or what type I was smoking or anything like that it just made me feel worse



it annoys me when I see people online going around telling people to take weed and that weed is beneficial no medical expert would say weed is good for you in anyway and even its (controversial yet proven medical uses are meant to be dosed in medical doses not recreational so you wouldn't get high from a medical dose)



here is the OBJECTIVE facts on cannabis (these are not opinions this is the consensus of effects of cannabis from the medical community)
Facts in next page



? cannabis is not 100% safe nor beneficial and when smoked is bad for the lungs

? it can cause an increase in heart rate and sometimes cause palpitations

? contrary to popular belief deaths have occurred (underlying health problems were there but cannabis triggered the death don't believe me look it up)

? cannabis can lead to other drugs (called a gateway drug)

? cannabis can cause episodes of paranoia and panic attacks (even mild hallucinations have been reported)
? long term chronic use has been proven to cause increased anxiety troubles in concentration and memory
? can trigger underlying mental health problems
? cannabis has not been proven to help with addictions (it may be a case of anecdotal evidence that supports this but certainly not a common theme)
? cannabis can be addictive

? cannabis has been proven to be medically helpful but only for a few things (like chronic pain as an appetite increase or reduce vomiting and feelings of nausea) and DEFINITELY not for the hundreds of things you see splattered online and it's a myth that just getting high is how it is medically helpful medical doses are minuscule and controlled NO doctor would just tell you to get high for treatment smoking recreational has no medical benefits





there is a lot of speculation about cannabis and its effects on epilepsy it's a myth that cannabis has been proven to help it for a fact however there have been anecdotal cases were it SEEMS that cannabis has improved the peoples symptoms with certain types of epilepsy (mainly in children as well) however there is no medical consensus among experts and is currently being researched



I personally think cannabis should be legalized (but I feel more research needs to be done) and compared to other drugs its 100% one of the safer ones out there but it annoys me when I see ignorant and naive people defending it as being 100% natural and good for the body this is a fallacy also contrary to popular belief cannabis can cause addiction (which ruins people's and families lives)




there is too many misinformed people out there that think they know what they are talking about but they don't and go around telling people that smoking weed is good for you and has no bad effects this boils my blood because its categorically bull shit I have done all my research from credible sources so all my statements in this comment is backed from actual medical institutions, drug agencies and educational institutes

I do dialysis 4x a day at home and use Cannabis 'ad libitum' or as needed to control nausea during these procedures. I'm prescribed up to 5g/day at my discretion. What do you define as miniscule? The bigger a bong rip I take before a dialysis the less nausea I get.

OP, you and anyone else reading this should be aware that 2 of your linked sources - Talk to Frank and the Daily Mail - are not at all credible.

Talk to Frank is government sponsored prohibitionist propaganda - typically they have specialised in scaremongering and misinformation campaigns, with little if any reference to actual science or truly harm reduction oriented advice (unless, again, you consider scaremongering, "abstinence only" type advice to be harm reduction).

The Daily Mail is just bottom of the barrel tabloid trash, they have been caught out time and time again for grossly exaggerated, sensationalist, and sometimes just completely fictional reporting. Nothing you read from them can be trusted.
 
What you have here is some facts mixed with DARE propaganda type bullshit, to be frank.
 
I like it. I mean, your homeroom teacher won't be thrilled, but good information.
