Walks of life all of them began smoking marijuana in their late teens just for the bonds but in some cases due to insecurity or confidence issues. Like my mother father and i know what hit them during the you pretty i had a culture connecting with people on the board and ive been. I didnt really understand how people work. And i was just and i noticed that once i smoked a joint all those worries would just go away or god forbid thinking id begin. The drug helped many of the group to subdue stress. But it also meant to problems with a smile to call to talk its so addictive mentally its not like the jitters you get from alcohol my image but when you feel this emptiness the alarm bells start ringing and you have this absolute need which was i should have been confronting myself but instead i needed a fix so yes the mental addiction was. Really strong. In addition to taking over addicts lives marijuana consumption can also lead to Mental Illness in sabrinas case those problems spiraled out of control.

Or frankly speaking i have never attended as an emergency physician to somebody who was just intoxicated with cannabis if there was mix consumption for example without all this can well happen but our frequent customer is the person who is drunk on alcohol and unable to cope what are the telltale signs that indicate were becoming addicted to cannabis. Addiction is usually a gradual process so you get used to using cannabis more you dont reflect on every use its just part of your everyday life so if you find yourself smoking cannabis in the morning after getting up in order to be able to cope with your day and not just in the evening after a long day or with friends where you for example share a joint then you should start thinking about the fact that you might be developing a substance dependence.

But the statistics speak for themselves marijuana and other drugs are widely used all over the world why are we all getting high its partly about self optimisation life is stressful popping a pill or having a few drinks can make us feel more awake more extroverted more interest.

On drugs things dont seem so serious and sometimes we take drugs simply because we are for. Another reason for turning to drugs self discovery.

The psychiatrist prescribes pure c. B. D. For anxiety and stress related conditions. Thats the i believe its the most underestimated and one of the most valuable substances that ive come across in my medical career most people actually have stress related conditions such as sleep destruction were going through a very difficult time right now and id like to see more people discovering the benefits of c. B. D. And realising that its like a part of their own body that they can use to regenerate themselves. You know the young person the body actually has its own endo can have a noise system. If stress hormones enter the bloodstream the body generates its own in the canal benoits to compensate. C. B. D. Has the same effect it would do stress levels and helps with sleep disorders. Has this office with my patients say they now sleep much better they sleep for a longer period without waking up in the middle of the night and feel more rested for longer as a result of course of it.

And you also need to be careful if youre already on other medication as there can be complications. As hooked up all c. B. D. Has an effect on the liver on certain enzymes that prevent other drugs from being broken down so if youre taking quite a few different drugs and then c. B. D. On top it can strengthen or weaken the effect of the other drugs and in some cases that can be dangerous stunts and feel that. The medical world has yet to explore the full benefits of c. B. D. But it looks like a treatment method with a lot of potential. Today the hype is particularly big with c. B. D. Oil i can see it as a g. P. In my practice c. B. D. Its not intoxicating unlike t. H. C.

Roses and also in epileptics the main mechanism seems to be that the level of arousal is mediated in the body so the tension in the expression of the nerves nerves firing away is being limited and lowered there are many articles that claim that cannabis helps against cancer this is surely nonsense isnt it. At this point in time we dont really have the Scientific Evidence to say whether or not cannabis can be a treatment for a certain kind of cancer it is definitely not the case that its a panacea and heal all fly all kinds of cancer as it is being promoted alongside. For example but on the other hand this seems to be Scientific Evidence that some forms of tumor can be positively influenced by the use of cannabis what definitely is the case is that the side effects of cancer can be alleviated by the use of cannabis so anorexia lots of effort sides north. As noisy and vomiting with kyocera ph is something that definitely can be positively affected with cannabis use so in any case this weed words to fight pain cannabis was mentioned in a chinese medical book 2700 b.

Patrick m. Does not smoke cannabis to get high. He uses it to combat the chronic pain hes been suffering from for the last 9 years since an accident while on duty with the local Volunteer Fire Department cannabis has helped provide some pain relief for the point is stopping the pain.

Cannabis is not a recreational drug but medicine medicine that after his serious accident has given him a better quality of life. Cannabis cultivation produces bets that contain far more t. H. C. Them before whole set of problems well in the good old times the garden grown cannabis strains that were circulating had a lower percentage of t. H. C. You saw like 456 percent of t. H. C. And also a balanced amount of c. B. D. Which is the other active component that we spoke about t. H. C. Is the one inducing. Cycle top effect c. B. D. Is mediating more relaxation of the muscles and so on so on. Now we have the that is the model. 5 strains of cannabis that contain up to 20 percent of cannabis that poses several problems the 1st is that he has cannabis strains tend to be unbalanced so if the t. H. C. Level goes up like that the c. B. D. Level is lowered automatically they can basically exist in the same space at the same time in those amounts.

D. And all the other problems. When people smoke cannabis purely theres also impact on the lungs but not as high as it would be in combination with tobacco vaporizer so basically having a little contraption in the machine where you put the cannabis onto the electric coil that heats up and that doesnt burn the canisters just sets free the essential materials you want to inhale is a better variation but we also have to be careful not to mix up vaporizing with a ping so they ping would be mixing the c. B. D. Up and he. Kind of his oil in the. Liquid that is then used in the cigarette and looked harmless for a while but we are no finding especially in the us for its very Popular Among Young People that those perhaps contaminated liquids perhaps just the difference in themselves can cause severe lung damage disease is a problem that should not be underestimated. In the use of cannabis why. Doesnt work. The war on drugs has sold the months the alcohol prohibition in that it says has shown it to if you make something with a big people are going to find it on the black market because if people want to go for a cycle topic of substance theyre just going to acquire a regulated legalized market with these substances the more homeless ones as possible gives us the option to a keep people away from the more dangerous substances and being gives us access to educate them and also makes it possible for people to ask for help cannabis is still a criminal offense in many countries of the world but other countries legalizing it like canada.

Anywhere in the world the teenager wants to smoke pot he is going to find pot from friends on the schoolyards. At the Sports Center wherever it is available and the problem is today that in the best case he gets it from a friend and its a harmless situation but if hes confronted with a dealer whos not only sounding cannabis but sells little pills and powders on the side that can cause far greater harm this situation i would not want to see my teenagers and so for me having coffee shops having cannabis Distribution Pharmacy is where you can go perhaps gads yeah like kind of a slice and compulsorily getting information before you get it and also have people you can talk to when you have a problem with a substance thats the fast safe version and this is something weve all worked too many views have written to us a small part to be able to sleep better to cope better with attention Deficit Syndrome a woman during menstruation what could you advise people who said they have similar problems should they just try it.
