mj doesn't really have long term side effects, they tend to go away with cessation..but that's not really a factor in anything regarding legality or whatever your talkin bout...
but it can have serious effects on an unhealthy individual. it does effect the circulatory system, heart rate, blood pressure, flow to extremities and organs etc..effects the liver and pancreas(blood sugar levels are a concern for me specifically, I smoke too much) as well. brain excitation especially in individuals without a tolerance is a concern.. and those are the big ones..
I love weed as much as everyone on this website, Probly smoke more than anyone here too.. but it's not a miracle drug. for some reason people forget, it will easily kill a cat or dog, it has the same effect on humans.. under the right conditions it can kill you. people say nobody has died from weed. really? like 250 people just in the last decade. weed will never be accepted pharmaceutically because there are too many compounds at varying ratios that behave differently and interact to produce different effects. when we selected thc it was lacking, we added some terps and cbd. y'all should be happy about that.. it's biphasic nature causes difficulty dosing and correcting for tolerance as well. in another 10 years pharmaceutical applications will be alot further. my favorite is the inhaler, like what asthmatics use. can take huge hits..but people need to leave these companies alone. it's not some sort of conspiracy I promise. doing the best we can. the cannabis community should show more appreciation.
