Weed suppresses the part of your brain that regulates, well a lot of things. If you drink too much alcohol, you will vomit it up even if sleeping to keep from ODing on it, alcohol suppresses the part of your brain that controls breathing after all. But if you smoke weed and drink alcohol, the weed will supress the part of your brain that will tell your stomach to empty itself, allowing the alcohol to continue to be absorbed into your system, leading to death from alcohol poisoning. You stop breathing and die. Almost 99% of cases of death from alcohol poisoning are a direct result of also having weed in the system. Each alone won't kill you, but together, even small amounts, can give you permanent brain damage or death.
Lol wtf? Alcohol doesn't exactly affect a specific part of your brain. The excess of alcohol in blood is just gathered between neurons, as alcohol doesn't allow the potasium to be liberated or absorbed by the neuron, the pulse made through neuron to neuron is slowered and even stopped, there is no comunication between the neurons affected. This leads to connecting neurons using paths they would not normally use, that is why the reflexes are extremely lowered when you are under effect of the alcohol. Alcohol is just poison, alcohol overdose is caused when there's too much alcohol between neurons that there cannot be any more communication, and if the liver can filter all that alcohol, the damage leads to sequels as neuron can't absorb any nutrients either. And if you had a biology class you will know neurons are the only type of cell than can't regenerate.
On the other hand, the drug of the marijuana just activates the liberation of dopamine, this enzyme is what causes any feeling rel
ated with joy, the only side effect of marijuana in the body is that you can "damage" dopamine receptors, which would lead to the horrible and violent..... nothing, the result is that in order to obtain the same "doped" effect, you will have to take more marijuana, as simple as that. Behaviour nor personality changes, and some studies from california have shown that it actually helps on pacients with depression, while they aren't consuming, it has been proven that their dopamine levels are above what they were before the marijuana law was approved.... so school yourself, and stop saying urban myths without knowing shit, peace
Amen! Don't even get me started on Big Pharma. The benefits are amazing, which is why its been criminalized. You won't need their antidepressants, sleeping pills, Xanex, oh the list goes on and on.
Back in my college days, I tested the theory for myself that you can't OD on it. I woke up in a face plant on the floor after what amounted to an unexpected nap. Felt fine, better than a long night drinking.
Sorry guys, but marijuana has recently been linked to a very serious heart problem which is most prevalent in young people who use the substance. I don't give a rats ass what you guys do, I know plenty of people who do it and they're cool people, but it's not as safe as you all like to pretend and/or believe.
The bigger danger is long term effects on a developing brain. Grown adults can use it all they like, but for kids it can be as bad or worse than alcohol in the long run. Well, getting high on it anyway.
Though to other guest: When vaporized, ingested, or applied topically, THC and CBD both have positive effects in those who need regulation of chemicals in the brain. This is not pretending, this is education. Neurology, Psychology, and classes specifically designed to teach facts about drugs.
Fun Fact: Poppy seed = opium = heroin. As you break down the oils from poppy seeds your body releases opiates. If you eat poppy seeds, you will test positive for opiates similar to heroin.
Weed is on a similar level as tobacco. Cigarettes on the other hand are deadly. Unless the tobacco is grown from a clean supplier, it is likely going to be covered in carcinogenic chemicals, and that is what makes them so deadly.
The active compounds (nicotine, THC, CBD) should be left out of the equation.
Marijuana produces less carcinogens when burned, and less resinous discharge. The latter is the most important in this argument as smoke is in fact the resin's gaseous state. When tobacco is inhaled nicotine causes the lung's alveoli to constrict, trapping the smoke and in turn the resin. When marijuana is inhaled CBD relaxes the alveoli allowing the smoke to flow in and out with less resin left behind. This relaxation may also induce coughing as the lungs attempt to expel the remaining resin.
These factors make marijuana a safer habitual substance compared to tobacco. However, both of these substances produce carcinogens when they are burned. Both of these substances can give you cancer, or at least increase your odds.
