Whoa Dude… chill. This is not an anti-pot book, it is about the Science of the health risks of Marijuana. It’s a post-legalization look at the Science.
In the context of a world of Legalization for both Medical and Recreational Marijuana, it’s for those who use weed and for those who don’t. Teens and Young adults, Parents, Science nerds.
Do you or does someone close to you smoke Weed or use Cannabis products? With legalization sweeping the country, many people think weed is safe, it’s all good, for everybody… The science says it’s not… many people yes… some people…not so much.
Like Alcohol, harm to you’re health from marijuana is linearly associated with frequency of use and strength of THC. Having a glass of wine on the deck on a Friday evening, probably won’t hurt you. Downing a bottle of wine every day…big problem. Everybody intuitively knows this… Same with weed. Having a joint on a Friday night listening to the Grateful Dead, probably not an issue. Doing the wake-and-bake everyday, smoking three times a day, using high THC percentage weed or concentrates…can become a big problem.
You and your family need to know this stuff. Are you wondering about the down side, about the potential health risks? Are you thinking, “What should I do? What should I tell my kids? “
With the rush to legalize marijuana, it has been lost in the haze that marijuana is a psychoactive drug. Although most people do not have serious problems when using weed… some do. Most vulnerable are adolescents, young adults, and pregnant women, but heavy or chronic use of Weed can also lead to dependence and health complications for people at all ages. Be informed, what you don’t know can hurt you.
