Cannabis

Does cannabis affect one’s susceptibility to false memories? The authors are using the correlation method to answer this question because it tests the relationship between cannabis use and false memory. I feel that this is method is the correct choice because it limits the elements that are being compared in contrast to the descriptive method or the experimental method. Also, this method allows for the creation of specific groups in order to provide for equal comparisons of the dependent…

Dear Prime Minister, As you know, the UK is not in its finest economic state. I am writing to give you a possible way out: legalise cannabis. Right now you are probably fighting against this idea instinctively, but I would like you, just until the end of my letter, to keep a completely open mind (it can not do any harm). Cannabis, hemp, marijuana, whatever you want to call it, is the most widely used illegal drug in the UK. Alcohol and tobacco are also popular, widely consumed drugs.…

Turning to Medical Cannabis to Get off Opioids The opioid epidemic in North America is a growing public health crisis, causing devastating effects on communities across Canada and the U.S. Canada is the world’s second biggest consumer of pharmaceutical opioids, and in 2016, there were approximately 2,458 apparent opioid-related deaths in the country. What’s being done to counter this deadly health crisis? Learn why more doctors and patients are turning to medical cannabis. The Problem with…

carcinogens found in cannabis smoke there is no consensus on whether cannabis can actually cause cancer or if it is just a coincidence. Research has found that low and moderate cannabis doesn’t increase the risk of cancer and that most concern of cancer is around high usage of cannabis. People also say that it can cause cardiovascular disease. While people who smoke cannabis may have or develop a cardiovascular disease in life there is no proof that the cause of it is cannabis. Although there is…

37,000 deaths a year. One might ask, “Deaths from what?”, and almost immediately assume that some kind of illegal drug was involved. Cannabis, more commonly known as marijuana, is an illegal drug that some may say causes harm, but it is not responsible for these deaths. In fact, alcohol is the cause of that large death rate, and that number does not even include alcohol related accidents. The CDC (U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention) has never had the need to create a category for…

and Nabilone are two FDA approved prescription medications with delta-9-THC as the active ingredient (Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2015, para. 7). It is taken by mouth for patients who suffer from chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting and haven’t responded to other therapeutic options and in some cases, it is found to be more effective than other FDA approved nausea and vomiting medications (Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2015, para. 7). Another study highlighting marijuana’s cannabinoid…

Legalization of Cannabis Cannabis is a drug that many people see that will lead an individual down a path that comes with crime and other dangerous drugs like cocaine and heroin. If we could just get past this view of the drug and see it for its good then America could benefit much more than with it being illegal. Cannabis can be used in the medical fields, help the economy, and is much safer than alcohol and cigarettes. Cannabis offers America much more, but with it being illegal the U.S can…

that can be brought on by cannabis. Current studies demonstrates that individuals who are heavy smokers demonstrate no confirmation of harm; moreover, I observe this to be a considerable amount more convincing than an obsolete and ineffectively presumption test. Asserting that the harm to both the reproductive system, and brain damage have been founded on invalid analyses managed to animals, and not people. Additionally, a few investigations of the impacts of cannabis on the human have…

For a few years now Americans’ have disputed on the legalization of cannabis, also known as marijuana. Recreational cannabis is legal in four states: Oregon, Colorado, Alaska, and Washington state. This November, five states will vote to legalize recreational cannabis: California, Massachusetts, Maine, Arizona, and Nevada. We’ve heard all the research and the majority of adults…

the legalisation of cannabis is a huge issue in today’s society, as is the problem with legal highs not coming under current drug laws and not enough is being done about the number of people taking them. Another big issue that is not being dealt with appropriately is that people with drug addictions are being put into prison cells and not into rehabilitation programmes to get the help they need. The drugs policy in this country is not fit for purpose. The debate about Cannabis being legalised…
