Marijuana use holds three-fold blood pressure death risk: study

>>136691559
...b but dude weed lmao 420 dab it

Like dude 0 deaths from smoking. Just gotta manage dat bp

>>136691559
how the fuck is that possible pot drops blood pressure. ok who funded the study is the data legit anyone got a link to the actual paper and not some bull shit headline article.

>>136692086
Maybe you'd know how to use google if you stopped smoking so much of the green Jew.

>>136692336
Wow we observed this group of people and we see they are more likely to develop these health conditions later on. Remember anon correlation does not mean causation it could be a result of poor diet or other drug use

>>136692607
That's what controls are for, anon.

> We controlled for cigarette smoking (non-smokers as reference), gender (female as reference), age (25 years and below as reference), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Whites as reference), having health insurance (not having health insurance as reference), alcohol use (not having had five drinks or more on some days in life as reference), diagnosis of hypertension (no diagnosis of hypertension as reference), or CVD: angina, heart attack, congestive heart failure, or coronary heart disease (no diagnosis of CVD as reference), education and body mass index (BMI), were controlled using continuous increasing level. Age was dichotomized as 25 years and below, or above 25 years.

So this basically leaves us with two possibilities: either pot directly kills people, or it indirectly kills people by causing them to develop extremely unhealthy lifestyles.

>>136691559
>people who eat butter are at greatest risk of dying

Well..: Now we have to wait for people replicating the findings and peer review it.

>>136691559
Tobacco is legal (Cancer).
Alcohol is legal (Brain and liver damage).
Sugar is legal (You name it).

Tell me again why, because marijuana may be harmful (if the user doesn't exercise), it must be banned?

>>136692336
Yeah keep taking the synthetic jew like a good goyim.

>smoking marijuana reduces hypertension cardiovascular death by 3 times
Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
This is why questionnaire studies are pure garbage and mean nothing except in pseudo-science psych studies.
t. engineering statistics fag

>>136693389
My personal view is that it should remain banned until we know the full extent of the potential harms. Once we can accept that it can be harmful, the same way we do with tobacco, alcohol etc., then we can start talking about legalizing and regulating it. Right now it's just too dangerous for a society with this level of delusion to have easy access to.

You can see the mental gymnastics and grasping at straws even in this thread. The level of brainwashing and self-deception is unprecedented.

>>136693781

What?? Hahaha you think they knew about the plastics which are literally used for everything look up bisphenol A

>>136691559
I was under the impression that marijuana temporarily lowered blood preessure but increased heart rate due to its effect as a vasodilator.

>>136691559
>People who smoke marijuana have a three times greater risk of dying from hypertension
>People who smoke marijuana
>People who smoke


Oh fucking really?

>>136691559
That's ridiculous.

Part of what makes you high is that cannabis widens your veins and reduces your overall blood pressure (which is why your heart beats faster when you're high) That's why it's recommended for people with glaucoma to reduce pressure in the eyeballs.

Any study of cannabis is dubious in its results because different strains vary considerably in their chemical content and distribution within different regions of the world.

Most harm from cannabis comes from when it is smoked. If it's legalized an effort to push it as an oral herbal supplement will probably be enforced and the chemical content will be regulated.

>>136694370
>body constantly has vasodilation
>body counter acts by increasing vascular resistance
>body keeps increasing vasoconstriction to return to normal blood pressure
>hypertension

Best argument I can make for how it could happen.

I have published research, the papers don't do the experiments. Just check the numbers and that the researchers don't exaggerate or anything.

There is a different kind of peer review that happens AFTER the research is published where researchers try to replicate the research. which is what I meant.

In a related study, people who take cancer medication are way more likely to die of cancer.

I suggest you cozy up with a nice doobie and read a book on policy stats....

Your 2 possibilities are very unimaginative.
1) Either pot kills people directlys (not sure what you mean by directly) presumably the cause of death is high blood pressue?
2) or it causes people to develop extremely unhealthy lifestyles.
, or the OBVIOUS
3) maybe it doesnt cause anything by itself, but that the type of person who is disposed to smoke pot is the same type of person who is disposed to behave unhealthily.

STOP THE PRESSES.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential therapeutic qualities of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with respect to slowing or halting the hallmark characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. N2a-variant amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) cells were incubated with THC and assayed for amyloid-β (Aβ) levels at the 6-, 24-, and 48-hour time marks. THC was also tested for synergy with caffeine, in respect to the reduction of the Aβ level in N2a/AβPPswe cells. THC was also tested to determine if multiple treatments were beneficial. The MTT assay was performed to test the toxicity of THC. Thioflavin T assays and western blots were performed to test the direct anti-Aβ aggregation significance of THC. Lastly, THC was tested to determine its effects on glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and related signaling pathways. From the results, we have discovered THC to be effective at lowering Aβ levels in N2a/AβPPswe cells at extremely low concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. However, no additive effect was found by combining caffeine and THC together. We did discover that THC directly interacts with Aβ peptide, thereby inhibiting aggregation. Furthermore, THC was effective at lowering both total GSK-3β levels and phosphorylated GSK-3β in a dose-dependent manner at low concentrations. At the treatment concentrations, no toxicity was observed and the CB1 receptor was not significantly upregulated. Additionally, low doses of THC can enhance mitochondria function and does not inhibit melatonin's enhancement of mitochondria function. These sets of data strongly suggest that THC could be a potential therapeutic treatment option for Alzheimer's disease through multiple functions and pathways.

Or maybe thc is a dangerous neurotoxin.

Hippocampal Neurotoxicity of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol

"Marijuana consumption elicits diverse physiological and psychological effects in humans, including memory loss. Here we report that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, is toxic for hippocampal neurons. Treatment of cultured neurons or hippocampal slices with THC caused shrinkage of neuronal cell bodies and nuclei as well as genomic DNA strand breaks, hallmarks of neuronal apoptosis. "

I listed to you faggots claim it cured cancer, and then it turned out that smoking it CAUSES cancer.
Just admit you're an addict and you would say ANYTHING to get your drug. I'm sure there are chemicals in dog shit that could help Alzheimers marginally just like this. We have far more effective treatments than THC already. But this is simple desperation to find ANYTHING to justify removing marijuana from Schedule I. That was where the glaucoma-treatment bullshit every pot addict spouts came from. They don't bother to mention that the American Glaucoma Society does not recommend it as a treatment. But we both know you don't care because you just want your drug.

I can't fathom people would use a drug that got the nickname Dope and think it makes them enlightened.

But that's liberalism for you.

Super successful yet you limit your potential with a drug

Also, bait.

There is no functional difference between option 2 (pot smoking causes unhealthy behavior) and 3 (pot smokers have unhealthy behavior) though.

>People who smoke marijuana have a three times greater risk of dying from hypertension, or high blood pressure, than those who have never used the drug, scientists said on Wednesday.
plus they have something in common with hippies, and hippies are responsible for women wearing pants and general faggotry as well

>what is correlation and causation

>>136691559
it's stupid to think there's no risks associated with marijuana just like it's stupid to think there's no risks associated with alcohol consumption, or tobacco, or playing games for too long.


The keyword is moderation. Use your brains people.

What's you point op? Salt and red meat cause high blood pressure should we outlaw those as well? Do you not eat them those things because they are degenerate? Are we only allowed to enjoy things in they are 1000% healthy for us?

I don't have a horse in this race but it definitely does. You just think it doesn't because you twisted what he said number 3 was. It's like saying "lots of astronauts are now millionaires, so if I become a millionaire it'll increase my odds of being an astronaut!"
Causation =/ correlation

Hey, one study that doesn't tell us anything about any of the subjects' drug, health or medical history. This is polling more than scientific study.

I'm amazed Reuters published this. I guess Big Pharma has a big stake over there. I'll keep that in mind when taking their other news with a grain of salt.

from Your description it doesn't sound like weed.
could it be that You're just a fagot?

All drugs should be legal no matter how damaging they are. The government should not say what you can and can't take, it's tyrannical.
I don't even take drugs minus my prescription it's just freedom

Kill all degenerate drug users.

>not believing in freedom
Oxymoron
>>136707103
Desomorphine (the drug in krokodil) isn't even that dangerous it's the process the slavs use that makes it dangerous.

>"Desomorphine was previously used in Switzerland and Russia for the treatment of severe pain; "

>>136707262
Your mum is probably on addictive brain destroying pharmaceuticals.

>>136707317
Which I must add, krokodil wouldn't exist if desomorphine was legal, because they wouldn't need to use clandestine chemistry to make it

This is why you become scientifically literate and read the papers, not the journalists' hyperbolic summary of the abstract they were sent.

What a piece of trash study.

>>136701900
>develop a tolerance by using a specific measured amount and have a regular dosing schedule so you will develop a tolerance which takes about a week to do

nigga i've been dosing regularly at least 3 times a week for the past 4 months and the apathy side effect hasn't changed one bit, i have noticed something else though which is sort of strange, its like instead of building up a tolerance i'm becoming more sensitive to it, for some reason i can take less and less of my concentrate and still get the same effect, i started with a full dose to get to where i like it but now i only need a quarter dose to reach the exact same feeling, cant be variance in product since its all the same batch and is kept refrigerated so no degradation can occur, im honestly stumped.

considering stopping altogether, who know what this is doing to me, haven't read a single study about the effects of long term oral consumption, but i know for a fact its making me lazy.

This is that "lets strap fog machines to monkey's faces, give them zero oxygen, and then say it was the pot that made them lose brain cells." Study all over again. Also how the fuck is pot jewy in any way? Find some seeds, some dirt, and viola free pot.

>>136711815
That's not a lot. When you smoke daily the apathy goes away and so does the other side-effects like being tired, the munchies, giggles and red eyes and dry mouth
