Myths About The Popular Marijuana Grass

Myths about the popular marijuana grass

Even given its enduring popularity, marijuana has reached a new prominence worldwide in just a few years, gaining legalization in states around the world for medicinal and personal use. Despite its fierce persecution by the established powers, marijuana has resisted the prohibition, the little flattering stereotypes and the criminal persecution of those who do not understand it. However, despite its many successes, marijuana still faces a large number of inaccurate myths and, in fact, dangerous about it that serve to empower their political enemies and keep marijuana in the list of first medicinesready. Let us sit and analyze some of these myths, to better understand and educate ourselves about the various lies and wrong concepts that marijuana fans have and continue to find.

Myth n. ° 1: Marijuana is a dangerous carcinogen

It is true that marijuana can be a danger to the lungs, if it smokes enough. We cannot emphasize enough how important the text in italics is for this topic. Virtually anything can be carcinogenic if he smokes enough: the simple fact is that their lungs do not like strange particles in them. The question that should be asked is: smoking a normal amount of marijuana entails a serious risk of lung cancer? The answer is absolutely not. Marijuana has never been causally related to lung cancer in the same way as cigarettes: people simply assume that smoking too much of anything cannot be good for you. Some cannabinoid compounds even play a role in the elimination of some types of cancers, creating a somewhat contradictory review about marijuana in the world of cancer.

That’s right, it has been shown that substances in marijuana are anti-cancer in some cases. Specifically, they have medicinal properties against prostate cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer, gliome, skin cancer and, in some cases, lung cancer own. Marijuana is complicated, man!

It should also be taken into account that we are only talking about smoking joints … the danger, as it is, comes from the inhalation of strange matter particles in the lungs. We have no particular reason to think that the CBD or the THC absorbed by the body through ingestion entails a real risk of cancer. That said, do not go crazy with many of those groceries: the increase of kilos, too many cakes like groceries can make you have a risk of cancer of IS, since it potentially goes along the same route due to too many night episodes of the Munchies!

In summary, it does not seem that smoking marijuana alone represents a serious risk of getting cancer, and numerous cannabis compounds even fight against cancer. That said, if you worry about flying your lungs with grass particles, all you need to do is beat (literally!) A little cannabutter and break a plate full of brownies. The same climb and the only thing that inhales is the sweet and sweet chocolate smell!

Myth n.  2: Marijuana can cause serious addiction problems

First let’s leave this out of the way: can you become addicted to marijuana? The answer is technically ‘yes’, but you can breathe (toke) quiet, my friend, since becoming addicted is not a simple task. You will see, becoming addicted to marijuana is significantly more difficult and much more rare than alcoholism. Before arriving at the addicts, you must observe a subset of marijuana users, unconditional users, and there is even only a small subset of them.They represent real addicts. We are talking about about 10 years of something that comes to light every day, and generally half a dozen previous attempts to quit smoking. So we are talking about a rarefied group of unconditional smoke. These people do not represent the lost souls that you will see with heroin or alcohol. However, we are talking about less than 9% conform to the addiction profile, and you need to strive to get there.

Compare the effects of addiction with alcohol, for example. Yes, like any addiction, marijuana will yearn and desire desperately more (we know it, it sounds like a fairly normal day so far). You can cloud your memory and hinder concentration. You may lose interest in hobbies and activities not related to marijuana, including employment. But that with alcohol balances, where alcoholism can cause violence, intense physiological addiction, all previous negative aspects (after all, it is barely concentrated and joins when it is totally drunk), as well as a serious liver and, finally, damagecerebral. The competition is not even closed, alcohol ‘wins’ for a mile.

Myth n. ° 3: Marijuana is a ‘entrance drug’

One of the biggest myths associated with marijuana is that it is one of the so -called entrance drugs. What is that, questions? The concept works like this: the poor little Adam and Alice are attracted to smoking marijuana for their bad and bad friends. After they begin to smoking marijuana, which is terrible and has no medical purpose, its horrible activist friends use their exposure to marijuana and somehow take advantage of it to try more hard drugs. Keep in mind that no one blames, say, alcohol or nicotine for driving to harder drugs. Only marijuana. I wonder why it is so? In any case, you don’t have to worry about that, because it turns out to be nonsense.

He does not need data to discredit this, because his proponents never had data for themselves. So anyone can say, this concept was completely invented at some point around the 1980s. Any evidence that relates to marijuana consumers with the use of harder drugs is insufficient in itself. Why? By the direction of causality. Even if marijuana consumers are more likely to consume more hard drugs, it is extremely difficult to demonstrate that they consume more hard drugs because they consume or consume marijuana. They can, for example, have a particular temperament and are more likely to experience different types of drugs. For these people, marijuana was simply a medication that became available, and in no way did they cause anything.

Nor do we have an easy way without complex studies to isolate the use of marijuana against other harder drugs. Those who went from marijuana to crack also drank alcohol? Did they have mental problems, or were they a lower or higher economic class, or any other factor that could also act as causal agents? People in real authority positions simply shouted the phrase ‘entrance drug!’And they never put the hard work necessary to demonstrate what they claimed. But did they really have to do it? The persistence of this current myth shows that if you shout something strong enough, people will begin to remember and even believe it regardless of its truth. Do you remember that more of modern politics?

Myth n. ° 4 Cannabis is the omen of chaos

In many ways, this is the original myth of marijuana. The idea, popularized by films such as Reefer Madness, was that a simple breath of a lonely joint would make the unfortunate user in a monstrous demon: attacking innocent people, participating in a unbridled sexual assault and a frantic variety of robberies and violence in general. Totally credible if you have never smoked a joint in your life and you have never met anyone who has done it, I suppose.

The truth is that not only the above is incorrect, there is more than a bit of racism in it. The original war against marijuana was marketed to keep young whites safe from blacks, who were seen as the original source and users of marijuana. There was fear that smoking marijuana would make white girls fall in love with black boys and that white boys began to act like their black counterparts. The whites, who generally did not know anything about blacks except their own racist myths, assumed that they had all the previous negative characteristics, attributes that would later be imputed to marijuana.

No, marijuana does not make its users hungry and malicious psychopaths. Well, maybe a little hungry. Here are some things that marijuana does. In fact, he reddled his eyes due to the expansion of blood vessels inside them. He didn’t laugh, but this could have seemed quite scary for people without education when he saw it for the first time. It can reduce its anxiety, but in some cases it increases it, leaning in that direction the more it uses. Frequent use can cause some problems with memory and focus, something that is well documented. This lack of concentration can make things like driving be dangerous: do not drive or, I don’t know, say, operate a forklift while it is high. Yes, I am aware that things in that pallet must be sent to Bum. Finally, in terms of physiological symptoms, you may face the worst of all, the nightmare known by frequent users such as … the Munchies. Marijuana consumption increases appetite, largely for cancer and AIDS patients and for the nightmare of people who count calories. The snacks are real and terrifying, especially if you are a sack of Doritos just by taking your affairs in the local gas station.

At the end of the day, there are at least so many myths about marijuana as truths around. If something needs a brand change, it is marijuana: but until people prove to be willing to open their eyes to their relative safety, the best tool in their arsenal to deal with deception is the bright light of truth. Do not allow dishonest people to control the narrative on the hemp blade. Tell the truth to power and let your smoke be released!
