Exposing the Myth of Smoked Medical Marijuana / Anti-Marijuana PSA Video
Exposing the Myth of Smoked Medical Marijuana / PSA VideoExposing the Myth of Smoked Medical Marijuana. Q. Does marijuana have any medical value? Any determination of a drug’s valid medical use must be based on the best available science undertaken by medical professionals. The Institute of Medicine conducted a comprehensive study in 1999 to assess the potential health benefits of marijuana and its constituent cannabinoids. The study concluded that smoking marijuana is not recommended for the treatment of any disease condition. In addition, there are more effective medications currently available. For those reasons, the Institute of Medicine concluded that there is little future in smoked marijuana as a medically approved medication. Advocates have promoted the use of marijuana to treat medical conditions such as glaucoma. However, this is a good example of more effective medicines already available. According to the Institute of Medicine, there are six classes of drugs and multiple surgical techniques that are available to treat glaucoma that effectively slow the progression of this disease by reducing high intraocular pressure. In other studies, smoked marijuana has been shown to cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, respiratory problems, increased heart rate, loss of motor skills, and increased heart rate. Furthermore, marijuana can affect the immune system by impairing the ability of T-cells to fight off infections, demonstrating that marijuana can do …
This was really good
and it makes people paranoid about normal things. I have found it robed me of my motivation to do normal things. i was motivated to go out then smoked a spliff and i felt really worried and paranoid and ended up not going anywhere. It’s real shite.
yes its very bad for you’re health. take no notice of these red & green marks. they mean absolutely nothing. in the real world when you have a conversastion you don’t get people adding red & green marks.
i think youtube should remove these red & green marks. People just mark any comment good & bad regardless of it being right or wrong. Don’t take any noticed of these red & green marks. It’s bulshit. WHy don’t they rename this wastetube
Tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and increased blood concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin from cannabis smoking would undoubtedly have deleterious effects on persons with heart disease due to arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries or congestive heart failure.
If it is classified as a “medical” drug will it be an automatic felony for possession like all other prescription narcotics? Also, whoever thinks pot doesn’t kill, please explain how Bob Marley died of lung cancer if he smoked more pot than most of you could ever dream of…
Inhaling smoke of any kind isn’t healthy…

Unfortunately, they do.
Why do people get mad when someone exposes the truth? Would you all be happy if someone made a video saying that its great and that we should all do it?
I smoked for a year. Then i started to get severe burning in what seemed to be my throat. I went to the doctor. He told me i had cancer on my uvula. I had to get it removed. I now have an artificial one. The doctor said if i waited any longer it could have spread throughout my jaw. Thus killing me. You like weed kids?
It should not even be legalized state wide. People who take it for medical purposes are only making themselves worse, federal law supercedes any state laws and they should both be the same. Medical users are now aloud to grow it, its getting out of hand, a drug is a drug!!!
This is so true…by the time i was a very good student,emotional stabil with good memory and perceptions…..i am smoking 5 years.Now i am just a lazy,depresing,anxious idiot.I don’t want to go nowhere and do nothing……depression is killing me now,believe me i had a suicidal thinkngs sometimes….just tell me if you don’t smoke is there chances after some period to be normal like before???
i smoked for 10 years , i quit many times but this last year i smoked a lot of weed every day I quit smoking 3 months a ago developed a dry cough , with small phlegm chunks that I ‘m coughing up. Fuck weed I wasted 10 years smoking it I had fun , but I want to be healthy, less prone to any cancer if I can help it.
Why is it so shocking that marijuana is harmful? It’s still smoke in your lungs. Do anything everyday for 8 years or whatever, smoke cigarrettes, drink, gamble, and it’s bad for you. It’s bad. But not as bad as things like, oh, say, alcohol.
I agree. i cant believe there are so many thumbs down…like seriously it may not be like a hard drug but then again, i do some it once in a while, so by personal experience, i do believe whats said in this video are facts. It affect shirt term memory big time. I feel so slow, even the next day after the effects have worn off. marijuana is so misjudged.
@SladesApprentice145 i agree with you
I have to say that I’m gonna quit today……………………but right after this last meeting with mary jane, but for sure I’m quiting no bs, that’s called addiction so lay off the weed man and grap a book 🙂
In road side studies, 1 in 3 reckless drivers who were tested for drugs, tested positive for marijuana, it’s more harmful than we all thought.
A study of 15 heavy pot smokers published in June 2008 in the Archives of General Psycharity showed loss of tissue in two areas of the brain, the hippocampus and amygdala, regions that are rich in receptors for marijuana and that are important for memory and emotions.
President Obama is against legalizing marijuana at the federal level, and the Governor of California is against legalizing marijuana for the state
In addition to prosecuting dispensaries, District Attorney Steve Cooley says he will also consider going after doctors prescribing medical marijuana for healthy people.
In a 6-3 split decision. Justice Paul Stevens said that congress has a moral responsibility to change the nation’s laws regarding medical cannabis use for medical patients. In writing the decision, Justice Stevens did not find that the federal government did not exceed its authority under law when federal government officers raided medical marijuana patients with California state recommendations
The city of Long Beach, California is looking into prosecuting dispensaries and other businesses that provide medical marijuana, City prosecutor Tom Reeves issued an editorial that essentially amounts to kicking in the door with guns blazing. Reeves directly relates dispensaries to “a drug dealer standing on the corner” and disputes the notion of the businesses as caregivers.
In August, Cooley and Sheriff Lee Baca informed all county mayors and police chiefs via letter that they considered such over-the-counter sales as ILLEGAL, including encouraging cities to permanently ban the dispensaries.
