the worst headache i got in my life was 10 years ago when Santana gave a concert in Peru the National Stadium was full , and perhaps 50% ( or more ) were smoking !!! 🙁 ( i was a passive smoker indeed ! ) ...
i didn´t feel happy or relaxed ... no way , it was like a migraine-neuralgic headache

Mexican grass kicks butt (some say).

Unfortunately, if you want to try it, you should go to the U.S. because
they smoke all the production.

I played in a student tourney in Oxford in the mid-80's, and was so out of my tree on the green stuff that I actually attempted to castle my queen. 😳 Playing stoned is not a good idea!

Personally, I've always been afraid to do grass. People have warned me that it induces a rebellious attitude and makes your hair grow long. 😲

"Cannabis and the general practitioner – going to Pot"

"The debate around cannabis has always focused on and been polarised by views on legalisation with the health effects largely un-debated."

"That cannabis contains at least as many carcinogens as tobacco smoke, that it is used in a way that maximises its harmful effects and that it more than likely contributes to the production of psychosis in young adults may surprise many readers, who like most of the population think that the drug is at worst harmless and at best good for you. It is a credit to the pro-cannabis debate that the legalisation issue has proved such an effective ‘smoke screen’ to health risks associated with the drug."

"So what are the health risks? These are considerable and as the drug becomes more widespread they are becoming better defined. The known effects of cannabis are analogous to the known effects of alcohol and tobacco, though its dangers are less obvious. The evidence that it produces dependence is beyond dispute, with around 5-10% eventually becoming dependent[v]. Cannabis also impairs concentration, short-term memory, attention and rational thought ( .... !! Ivan), [vi] impairs driving and piloting skills and amplifies the driving impairments caused by concomitant alcohol use[vii]. Larger amounts of cannabis can produce anxiety and depression[viii], psychotic states lasting several days and an increased risk of developing schizophrenia[ix]."

Conclusion

The reputation that cannabis is a safe drug is unjustified.


What can doctors do?

"To effect change doctors themselves must be convinced of the dangers to the publics health of the drug and beware of entering the polarised and unhelpful debate over legalisation."

Summary of adverse effects of cannabis [xxi]

Acute effects

Anxiety and panic, especially in naive users.
Impaired attention, memory, and psychomotor performance while intoxicated.
Possibly an increased risk of accident if a person drives a motor vehicle while intoxicated with cannabis, especially if used with alcohol and tranquilisers.
Increased risk of psychotic symptoms among those who are vulnerable because of personal or family history of psychosis.
Increase risk of low birth weight babies if smoked in pregnancy.

Chronic effects (uncertain but most probable)

Chronic bronchitis and histopathological changes that may be precursors of malignant disease.
A cannabis dependence syndrome characterised by an inability to abstain from or to control cannabis use, craving and tolerance to the physical and mental effects of the drug. The risk of dependence is estimated at less than 20% if the drug is taken more than five times and 10% for those who have ever used. Between 15-30% of users report difficulty in controlling their use and withdrawal symptoms are common in this group.
Subtle impairments of attention and memory that persist while the user remains chronically. intoxicated, and this may or may not be reversible after prolonged abstinence .
Possible adverse effects (to be confirmed).
Increased risks of cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and oesophagus: leukaemia among the offspring exposed in utero.
Impaired educational attainment in adolescents and under-achievement in adults in occupations that require high-level cognitive skills.

Groups that are at higher risk of experiencing these adverse effects:

Adolescents with a history of poor school performance, who initiate cannabis use in their early teens, are at increased risk of using other drugs and of becoming dependent on cannabis.
Women who continue to smoke cannabis during pregnancy may increase their risk of low birth weight babies.
People with schizophrenia, asthma, bronchitis alcohol and other drug dependence, whose illnesses are exacerbated by cannabis use.


Summary of effects in non-vulnerable individuals

Panic attacks
Toxic psychosis
Functional psychosis

Summary of effects in vulnerable individuals

Individuals with mental disorder are at increased risk of misusing cannabis.
There is 4–6 times increase risk of cannabis misuse in schizophrenia.
Heavy use of cannabis is a probable risk factor for schizophrenia.
Cannabis use may worsen some symptoms of schizophrenia and increase the rate of relapse.
Heavy cannabis use may cause short term reversible cognitive impairments in adolescents.

Well, reading the above, consuming the green stuff isn't such a good idea ..................
