Asthma is the shortness of breath and wheezing caused by spasms of the bronchial tubes, overproduction of mucus, and swelling of the mucous membranes. Asthma kills more than 4,000 Americans each year.[1]
Clinical research shows that THC acts as a bronchial dilator, clearing blocked air passageways and allowing free breathing.[2], [3] In one study, marijuana, “caused an immediate reversal of exercise-induced asthma and hyperinflation.”[4] Numerous cases of asthma have been treated successfully with both natural and synthetic THC. In one report, a young woman used marijuana with her doctor’s approval. Over the course of several years her attacks were almost completely cured with low doses of inhaled cannabis smoke.[5]
Some asthmatics who have found relief through the use of synthetic THC often voice a preference for natural cannabis over Marinol. Marinol is said to be less effective than natural cannabis and has far greater psychoactive properties.
Alternative methods of administration have been recommended by the Institute of Medicine [6] and other medical authorities. Plans for a noncombusting THC inhaler received attention for many years, yet designers have failed to produce a workable prototype.[7]
“Experiments examining the antiasthmatic effects of THC or cannabis date mainly from the 1970s, and are acute studies. The effects of a marijuana cigarette (2 percent THC) or oral THC (15 mg), respectively approximately correspond to those obtained with therapeutic does of common bronchodilators drugs (salbutamol, isoprenaline). Following inhalation, the effect lasts about two hours. Since inhalation of cannabis products may irritate the mucous membranes, oral administration or another alternative delivery system would be preferable. Very few patients developed brochoconstriction after inhalation of THC.” [8]
you have to average more then a joint per day for 20 years for it to have any effect on your pulmonary function....and anything more then that yes there is a very slight decrease in function but it isn't statistically significant...meaning they couldn't even put a number off percent your function decreases its so small...this is of course over 20 years tho...and yeah everything is better in moderation
unfortunately thats about as far back as testing goes since it has been shunned upon for so long in this country....so long term use is still up in the air
You all care entirely too much about what others think about weed. Brad says it hurt him instead of helping him than that's his deal doesn't mean you have to get pissed because it wasn't beneficial to him.
Also the supporters on here preach way too much about weed.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
Yes....it for sure effects different people in different ways....its not for everyone...weed makes my life so much easier....getting high makes my anxiety and depression go away instantly....it makes me actually want to leave the house and do stuff....and it makes me confident about what im doing as well
