Marijuana use and health care

  Marijuana remains the most abused drug in the United States. The arguments for and against legalizing marijuana continue to mount. This article is not intended to set the stage for a debate on the legalization of marijuana. Instead, I want the precautionary professionals whose patients in their care test positive for marijuana. Marijuana use is still prohibited by federal law, and patients who self-medicate or abuse marijuana should not be prescribed controlled substances. Unfortunately, many physicians are often faced with the dilemma of whether or not to prescribe controlled substances to patients who test positive for drugs for marijuana. This is particularly the case in states that have modified state laws to legalize marijuana. These changes in state law do not change the federal guidelines that physicians must follow. As a former career DEA agent, I remind doctors that marijuana remains an illegal Schedule I controlled substance with no accepted medical use in the US The fa...

Weighing the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana

  State and local governments in the US began regulating the sale of marijuana in the late 1800s. Many of the states further restricted the drug in 1906 by labeling it a poison. Most states banned marijuana entirely in the 1920s, around the same time that a federal alcohol ban was included in the constitution. The ban was repealed in the 1930s; Marijuana has continued to be banned across the United States ever since. However, some states are passing laws to allow the use of marijuana for medical reasons, so advocates say the drug has many powerful benefits. There are merits and drawbacks to consider on both sides of the argument. The Argument for Legalization of Marijuana Proponents of marijuana legalization often adhere to the fight for medical marijuana, rather than fighting for blanket legalization for all users. Others say it should be controlled and taxed like cigarettes and alcohol, so that anyone over a certain age can legally buy it. These are some of the arguments in favor...

Can Medical Marijuana Help Chronic Pain?

  Chronic pain has reached epidemic proportions in this country. Chronic pain is often defined as pain that lasts for three months or more. Although it is more common in older adults, anyone can experience it. Approximately 50 million people suffer from chronic pain and another 25 million suffer from acute pain caused by surgery and accidents. One of the main problems of chronic pain is under treatment. According to the National Association for Chronic Pain Outreach, seven million cannot relieve their pain without opioid medications, yet only 4,000 doctors were willing to prescribe them. Due to negative publicity, erroneous opinions about addiction, or scrutiny from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), doctors fear losing their license. Even if you can find a doctor to prescribe opioids, since tolerance can occur over time, many doctors will not prescribe an adequate dose to combat pain. Tragically, living with intractable pain can lead to depression, and depression can lead to suici...

Medical marijuana: a growing field

  Even without a pun, it's hard to ignore the thriving business environment surrounding the production and sale of medical marijuana. With MMJ now legalized in 15 states and the District of Columbia, the market is expanding vigorously. Treat a variety of ailments THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, has been shown to effectively treat a number of conditions. It can reduce nausea, insomnia, neurogenic pain, and movement disorders and glaucoma symptoms. It can be helpful in managing the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, and fibromyalgia. Recent studies have indicated that THC prevents the formation of plaque deposits associated with Alzheimer's disease. Of course, more research is essential to determine what conditions medical marijuana can help, but even this short list is encouraging. Not just smoke Opponents of medical marijuana are strongly opposed to the most common method of ingestion: smoking. However, there are many safer ways to ingest marijuana. Marij...

Medical marijuana: a necessity rather than an option

  Once known as a recreational drug or gateway drug, marijuana is now widely known for its medicinal values. Controversially, however, the medicinal benefits of marijuana cannot be ignored simply by blaming the drug for causing addiction or dependence in its users. Not only is marijuana highly effective in treating a number of diseases and conditions, it has also become an extraordinarily safe drug, safer than most prescription drugs on a daily basis. Marijuana provides effective relief from many medical conditions and symptoms such as: nausea, vomiting, glaucoma, seizure disorders, cancer, diabetes, muscle spasms, spasticity, loss of appetite, certain types of pain include chronic pain, and much more, including relief of brain diseases. cancer, lung cancer, HIV / AIDS and alleviating addiction problems related to alcohol abuse and opiate dependence.

Simple but effective tips on marijuana rehab

  For the most part, marijuana addiction begins with the pressure of work, curiosity, or just plain fun. But gradually it turns into a deadly addiction and leads to irreversible psychological and health problems. Many people who use marijuana report that it increases feelings of relaxation and causes euphoria. It is also used as an aphrodisiac, as it triggers sexual arousal. The main reason why it is the most widely used illegal drug in the world is because it is readily available at a very low price in most parts of the world. Even the legal penalties associated with marijuana are minimal compared to the use of other types of illegal drugs. Long-term addiction to marijuana causes myriad psychological, behavioral, and physical health complications. The most common side effect associated with this drug is that it slows down your reaction time. It is for this reason that the majority of people who drive after taking this drug die in fatal accidents. Other side effects include cogniti...

Medical marijuana: a valuable treatment

  For many years, the use of marijuana has been outlawed in the United States, despite numerous studies that have shown that the plant has benefits in treating certain diseases, such as cancer and glaucoma. Additionally, the drug is less addictive and has fewer long-term side effects from use than alcohol and tobacco, products that are currently legal for adult use in the United States. Because of these events, the movement to legalize marijuana in the United States has gained momentum over the past two decades, and significant strides have been made in the past ten years. The use of marijuana for medical reasons is currently legal in 11 states, including California. These states have not legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes, but only for those suffering from ailments that have been shown to improve with cannabis treatments. These patients can now legally obtain the drug. Before these laws were passed, many chronically or terminally ill patients had to engage in...

Legal marijuana: busting the myths of medical cannabis

  There are many myths about the effects of marijuana. Of all the ones you've heard, how many are from a trusted source? Do you REALLY trust what your friend's uncle says on the subject? Let's explore these myths in more depth. 1. Marijuana is addictive. False! Marijuana is not addictive. Medical studies have shown that alcohol, nicotine, and even caffeine are more addictive than marijuana. Compare this to the drug OxyContin. Both drugs are used to treat severe pain, but in 2006, 20.4 million Americans used OxyContin illegally. Medical marijuana is a much safer  no on 207 . 2. Marijuana has a negative effect on health. There are thousands of deaths each year from various FDA-approved drugs. Interestingly, there are ZERO reported cases where marijuana was listed as the cause of death. Many people fear smoking marijuana, linking it to cancers caused by cigarettes. Keep in mind that smokers will consume twenty or more cigarettes a day, every day. The medicinal levels of mariju...

Legalize marijuana

  Legal marijuana is a topic that is being discussed around the world and will actually be voted on by the UN in 2009. The rationalization is that the regulation will allow control of the strength of THC and decimalization will have a positive social impact. Ten of the fifty U.S. states have passed medical marijuana laws, and more states will vote on similar laws in the coming months. These laws are only symbolic at this point because the federal government still has laws prohibiting the use, possession, and cultivation of marijuana in the U.S. If federal law changes, these states are ready, at least as far as the law, to begin distributing marijuana. Legal marijuana will affect addiction treatment in a number of ways. There will be experts who will insist that people cannot become addicted to marijuana and that drug abuse will be a more appropriate label. Physical addiction to marijuana will be denied and therefore third party payment for detox will be out of the question. Legaliz...

Marijuana and teens

 As the number of states legalize the medical use of marijuana and decriminalize the recreational use of marijuana, it has become increasingly common for marijuana to be viewed simply as a harmless substance. One of the unintended consequences of changes in the law is that teens who use marijuana on a regular basis use the changes in marijuana laws as proof that they will not experience any ill effects from their habitual marijuana use. They reason that "if adults feel marijuana use is safe, it must be safe for us as well." Clearly, not enough information is being distributed to parents of teens about the problems associated with regular teen use of marijuana. And parents of teens are often unaware that the marijuana used by teens today is much stronger than the marijuana they used 20 years ago. According to Susan Weiss, deputy director of Scientific Affairs at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana seized in raids now has 15 percent THC compared to marijuana seized ...

Decreased use of prescription drugs while increasing marijuana use

  Marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug and has been for several years. While many use it for personal pleasure, there are also many who use it for medical purposes. Interestingly, although the rate of marijuana use has steadily increased, a national survey also shows a reduced rate of prescription drug use among young adults. According to a new report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the rate of non-medical use of prescription drugs last month among young adults (18-25 years) in 2012 was stated to be 5, 3%. This is much lower than the 2009 rate, which was 6.4%. Is there a connection between these two statistics? If so, what could it be? Health benefits of marijuana First of all, what are the "promoted" health benefits of marijuana? Ancient Indian writings confirm that marijuana has been used for medicinal purposes for approximately 4000 years. While there has been no proof that marijuana can actually cure anything, some sa...

Conversational hypnosis: hypnosis technique in reality

  If you search for conversational hypnosis on search engines or video sites, you will find a lot of content on quick inductions, mind control, or the comic exploitation of hypnotized subjects. In addition, you will probably also discover a lot of information about how you can control people and make them do what you want. Of course, the Internet is an immediate medium. If you don't grab someone's attention in the first few seconds, their attention disappears and they click off the page. For this reason, I fully understand why so much information about conversational hypnosis is so sensational. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't use conversational hypnosis to genuinely control someone else's behavior. It just is. However, I am concerned that the promotional emphasis of much of this information on hypnosis gives a set of misleading expectations to those interested in studying hypnosis techniques. This is particularly true when talking about conversation...
