Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor : Cipro (ciprofloxacin) can increase the blood levels of metoprolol through an unknown mechanism.  This may not be clinically significant.

Question 2

can a pensioner take up smoking marijuana?

Accepted Answer

I suppose: And anyone can suffer the consequences.

Question 3

how effective is marijuana as a painkilller?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Medical marijuana is legal in several states, and many pts are convinced of benefits in headaches and other pain syndromes.  Yet, research, to convincingly prove benefits in the treatment of pain, are lacking.  Therefore, we may be seeing merely placebo effects due to the effect on mood and behaviour.  Eventually, i suspect that organized medicine will rigorously evaluate this, but no proof so far.

Question 4

can a teenager become dependent on marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A teenager can become dependent on marijuana. Drug dependence is the body's physical need, or addiction, to a particular substance, in order for the person to feel like he is functioning normally. Over time, drug dependence leads to physical harm in the user's brain and body, to behavior problems, and to association with people who also abuse drugs and commit crimes to obtain drugs.

Question 5

A little: There is no safe level of exposure to smoke.  Otherwise,  occasional use will result in cognitive impairment (being stupid) for at least 24 hrs after each use.  Each person has to decide how good or bad that might be.

Question 6

Question 7

Question 8

is smoking of marijuana in a way helpful to the smoker?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Discussing the merits of medical marijuana, or the unfounded claims on which today's cannabis laws were based, isn't possible here. If you must do something to make yourself silly or relieve the tedium of life, you're much better off doing this than getting blotto/mean drunk, or using some of the very-dangerous stuff like heroin or cocaine or meth.

Question 9

i want a doctors opinion on the pros & cons of marijuana ?

Accepted Answer

See below: Like any drug it has benefits and risks.  However, in most states it is illegal.  This alone should be reason enough to not use marijuana.

Question 10

how does marijuana affect a  person with sjogrens syndrom?

Accepted Answer

Little: Any smoke is irritating to dry eyes, mouth and airways. No one has looked at cannabis as an immunomodulator, or whether it helps or hurts sjogren's. Beyond this, what everyone knows about cannabis -- makes folks passive, gentle, and sometimes a bit confused. For whatever reason, it's against the law, and i generally try to obey even the laws i disagree with. Peace and love.
