More than half of Americans with untreated asthma smoke marijuana - and most say it HELPS relieve pain and improve sleep
Researchers surveyed 245 asthma patients, 148 of whom had the respiratory condition under control and 97 of whom did not
Of the uncontrolled asthma patients, 33% had smoked weed in the past and 20.6% were current users
Most users reported positive benefits including 75% saying it helped with sleep and 68% saying it lessened pain compared to 20% who reported coughing
Doctors say efforts need to be made to get asthma patients to reduce smoking pot and potentially switch to routes such as edibles
Survey: Half of the people with uncontrolled asthma smoke cannabis
As the number of states increase where medical and recreational cannabis use is legal, so does the importance that physicians discuss with patients the effects of cannabis on those with asthma. A new survey in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, shows that of those who used cannabis, about half smoked it while a third vaped – both inhalation routes likely to affect one s lungs.
It surprised me that over half of the cannabis users in this study who have asthma were smoking it. And further, of those with uncontrolled asthma, half reported smoking cannabis. We also found that people with asthma are not routinely being asked or advised by their physician about cannabis and how they are consuming it.

INTRODUCTION
We are continually bombarded with information about the COVID-19 pandemic and encouraged to receive the COVID-19 vaccines. Many are making the decision to consent or refuse these with little information. To make an informed decision about receiving a vaccine requires: 1) full and complete information regarding safety and side effects, 2) explanations of efficacy and effectiveness, 3) ingredients including any adjuvants, preservatives, and genetic material, and 4) vaccine companies lack of liability for damages. The use of human fetal cell lines should be made known to all recipients and those who administer the vaccines. This includes development, production or any testing of the vaccines, no matter how remote the cooperation.
