Question 2

in articles about globus pharyngeus (/globus hystericus) i keep reading that a mild hoarseness can be an accompanying symptom, how does it cause that?

Accepted Answer

Irritation of larynx: The larynx houses your vocal box, and irritation and inflammation can cause hoarseness. With regard to globus pharyngeus, a primary culprit often includes reflux that irritates the tissues in the larynx. Constant throat clearing may also impact one's voice by irritating the larynx.

Accepted Answer

: A thorough assessment will be needed by your primary care doc as marijuana is known to cause or induce such states. However, other conditions cannot be ruled out. Otherwise a poorly understood condition that may last for months, also categorized under cannabis induced depersonalization-derealization syndrome.

Question 6

im 16 and i decided to quit the use of marijuana after using it for one month will my memory ever come back its been more than 4 weeks i believe?

Accepted Answer

: Research suggests that marijuana use may cause functional impairment in cognitive abilities. However, the degree &amp; duration of this impairment generally depends on how much &amp; how long you used it. And so there should not be any long term impairment in your memory from the short duration of use which you have described. However, if the problem persists please see your Family Doctor for an exam.

Taper of slowly: Taper off slowly reducing your marijuana use &amp; stay hydrated with water &amp; avoid sugar &amp; caffeine, eat healthy foods such as veggies, fruit &amp; fish, exercise daily for at least 30 minutes &amp; look for support from family &amp; friends. I also suggest speaking to a specialist in substance abuse at SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse &amp; Mental Health Services Administration at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). Best of luck!

Question 10

why is marijuana still illegal?

Accepted Answer

Federal Law: Laws regulating cannabis and other drugs date back to the late 1800's and early 1900's.  Although many states have passed laws that attempt to eliminate criminal penalties for marijuana use, current federal law, the controlled substances act of 1970, still classifies cannabis as a schedule one drug.
