Question 2

are there any negative effects of smoking marijuana while taking antidepressants?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Smoking marijuana can lead to paranoia and even increase risk of suicide by impairing judgement in someone who already has a tendency toward depression. Depending on the antidepressant there could also be direct interactions.

Question 3

will smoking marijuana and doxycycline have negative effects on my body if taken together?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Since marijuana is, for whatever reason, illegal, it is impossible to study the interactions as it is with alcohol. This is unfortunate, but i very much doubt there's any danger here. I feel life offers too much else for me to be passive and self-absorbed, and i try to obey even the laws i may disagree with. But it's your choice. Peace and love.

Question 4

i'm on adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) ciprilex, and risperidone. is smoking marijuana a bad idea? what negative effects will it have? are they permanent? honest answers.

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: Marijuana is harmful to the brain. It can interfere with your medication. I have seen it cause treatment resistant psychosis in several patients. Chronic use is also bad for your lungs and can increase cancer risk. It also causes a syndrome characterized by a lack of motivation.  Just because states are legalizing it, doesn't mean it's safe. It's a very bad idea.

Question 5

can the use *preferably non-smoking of marijuana have negative effects on diabetic retinopathy? due to the effects marijuana has on the eyes.

Accepted Answer

Potential benefits: The following is a link detailing a novel use of non-smoking form of marihuana called "Cannabidiol As a Putative Novel Therapy for Diabetic Retinopathy". http://www.420magazine.com/forums/diabetes/152457-cannabidiol-putative-novel-therapy-diabetic-retinopathy.html. Hopefully this will address your question well.

Question 6

are there certain medicines you are not allowed to take if you smoke marijuana? is marijuana bad for you health? what are some of the benefits verses side effects of smoking marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Marijuana may make other central nervous system depressants (like alcohol, opiates, tranquillizers) work more powerfully and cause increased sedation, fatigue, dizziness or likelihood of car accidents if you are driving. Marijuana can cause bronchitis, immune problems and low testosterone in men, and medical marijuana may help nausea/vomiting, glaucoma, pain, improve weight gain in cancer/hiv.

Question 7

are there any known bad side effects or death from smoking marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Lung cancer & psych: Long-term effects of marijuana use include lung cancer (since marijuana smoking, like cigarette smoking, includes tar), dental problems, and the development/exacerbation of psychosis. On the short-term though, there is no significant mortality due to marijuana use and no deaths from marijuana overdose have ever been reported.

Question 8

what are the side effects of babies being exposed to smoking marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Many issues: Cannabis is one of those drugs that produce problems for babies however they are exposed.It can produce sedation, weakness & poor feeding.Long them head growth in baby is impaired but the effect on development is unknown. Smoking itself increases risk of crib death & frequency of infections. You give this up to be a mom.

Question 9

what negative effects can eating/ smoking cannabis have to an unborn child?

Accepted Answer

Cannabis...: Contains thc. This is, as you undoubtedly know, a mind altering substance.  The brain of the fetus is very sensitive developmentally, and substances that effect you can effect him, perhaps permanently. I don't think the full potential effects of thc (and the hundreds of other substances ingested when you smoke/eat marijuana) is fully known,  but i sincerely doubt it does any good. So don't.

Question 10

would someone who has suffered from a stroke be negatively affected by smoking medicinal marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Talk to doctor: Medical marijuana is still controversial though legal in some states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis. You should discuss pros /cons with the person's doctor with proper consent.
