“Calls to make dope as freely available as cigarettes or alcohol are gathering support but ignore the real harm it does!” Clare Foges (Journalist – London Times 25.11.19)

…highlighting hospitalisations and how ‘those tormented by devils today tend to seek sanctuary in the local A&E, where admissions for psychosis have been rising’. An omission in this otherwise tour de force was any mention of the gulag of over-subscribed secure mental health units. Psychiatrists have called them cannabis dependency units, and they are populated largely by irreversibly damaged young male psychotics, betraying the fact that this is not an equal opportunities illness. Young men are the main victims of cannabis….

A 2014 study in Forensic Science International reported two cases of sudden death that doctors linked to health complications possibly worsened by marijuana use. The report indicated that before these deaths, the researchers were not aware of any other deaths related to marijuana use alone.

It is important to note that only after excluding all other causes of death did the report assume the young men experienced fatal cardiovascular events brought on by cannabis. The report also concludes that doctors cannot rule out the possibility that pre-existing cardiovascular factors played a role in the deaths.

In 2018, a teenager died of dehydration due to cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). CHS is a condition that can occur in regular cannabis smokers and causes nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. You can read their story here.

A recent report in Missouri MedicineTrusted Source found that some of the more common illnesses connected to marijuana use have also increased in Colorado since legalization. These include:

• cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)
• acute psychosis
• cannabinoid catatonia syndrome
• acute myopericarditis

Of course, this article doesn’t take into account;

• Road accidents due to WEED
• Suicide due to WEED
• Murder due to WEED

All of these make you dead, and all the result of cannabis use! So, If cannabis doesn’t kill then neither does Tobacco, right?

CBD may pose unknown health risks and cannot be marketed as a dietary supplement, food or therapeutic cure-all.

CBD products may be trendy, but health officials are worried that these products — which are often marketed illegally — may not be safe.

Yesterday (Nov. 26), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to 15 companies that sell CBD products because the products violate federal law. The agency also issued an update to consumers about the popular products, and stressed that there is limited evidence for their safety.

"This overarching approach regarding CBD is the same as the FDA would take for any other substance that we regulate," Abernethy said. The agency encouraged consumers to speak with health care professionals about how to treat diseases and conditions with existing drugs, and to be wary of  "unsubstantiated claims" associated with CBD products. 

The FDA requested that the companies issued letters respond within 15 working days and report how they plan to correct the violations.
