CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Thinking of buying pot in Illinois on Jan. 1? Here’s
how experts say it could affect your health — for better and for worse – Robert
McCoppin (DIERSEN: Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and
their dupes talk and/or act like they have smoked pot, are smoking pot, want to
smoke pot, want all restrictions on smoking pot to be abolished, want to make
money selling pot, and/or want governments to take in lots of tax revenue from
the sale of pot.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As an
emergency room physician, Dr. Steven Aks has treated patients suffering
psychotic delusions from marijuana. He’s been consulted when children come in
agitated or sleepy after eating their parents’ weed-laced gummies or cookies.
And he’s seen daily smokers coming down with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome —
uncontrollable waves of vomiting. “They just keep retching and retching,” he
said. “It’s horrible.” Aks, the director of toxicology at Stroger Hospital,
expects a surge in overdose cases once recreational cannabis is legalized in
the state starting Jan. 1, 2020. Legalization has intensified the debate about
the health effects of pot. Despite medical marijuana’s ability to help some
patients and the belief that recreational use is safer than other drugs, pot is
associated with a number of serious harmful effects, often depending on how
it’s used. In Illinois, all dispensaries must post signs stating,
“Cannabis consumption can impair cognition and driving, is for adult use
only, may be habit forming, and should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding
women.” While some expectant mothers use marijuana for morning sickness,
research shows that babies exposed to cannabis in the womb tend to have lower
birth weights, like those exposed to cigarettes. The U.S. Surgeon General and
American Academy of Pediatrics also warn pregnant and breastfeeding mothers
against using cannabis, noting that the psychoactive component, THC, can get
into the brain of a fetus and into breast milk. More generally, while cannabis
is typically used to get high and relax, for some users it may produce paranoia
and delusions. It impairs learning, memory, movement and judgment. Long-term
use can lead to chronic coughing and bronchitis. Conversely, one study found it
can improve lung capacity, perhaps by smokers taking and holding deep breaths.
. .Most broadly, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reported, those who
frequently use large amounts of marijuana are more likely to have lower life
satisfaction, poorer mental and physical health, and more relationship
problems. Heavy marijuana use has also been linked to increased incidence of schizophrenia,
though it’s not known if it causes the condition. It’s unlikely that someone
would get high or fail a drug test from secondhand smoke, the National
Institute on Drug Abuse reported, though it could adversely affect children and
people with asthma. As with tobacco and alcohol, those who use marijuana are
more likely to take other drugs, and rodents exposed to THC show more addictive
behaviors. That doesn’t prove it’s a gateway drug. Most people who use it don’t
go on to harder drugs, and users could be more likely to seek other drugs in
the first place. Some argue that where marijuana is prohibited, illegal dealers
expose buyers to other illicit drugs. As for the stereotype of stoners being
unmotivated, studies have yielded mixed results, but one study found that
people who smoke marijuana regularly had reduced levels of dopamine, the
brain’s motivational reward system. Finally, about 10% of marijuana users
develop a substance use disorder, in which they continue using despite it
causing significant problems in their lives. Abuse is more common among those
who start before age 18, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, which led the fight to legalize pot,
said many of those studies only show a correlation between cannabis use and
other problems, not causation. People with mental health problems, for
instance, are more likely to use intoxicants, but that doesn’t mean that weed
or booze caused their problems.)
