I am off to Amsterdam today with my fiancée who doesn't smoke cannabis. My idea is to introduce him to hash cakes but he is allergic to aspirin and I am worried that he might have a reaction to cannabis. Is it possible to be allergic to cannabis? Recently I have had nasal problems when cannabis smoke is around me, my nose gets plugged and sometimes I get a runny nose and occasionally I sneeze to.

Yes and no. This has been a persistent myth for over 40 years but it actually does have some basis in medicine. Basically the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, THC reduces lutenising hormone (LH) in the genitals. LH triggers ovulation in women and is involved in sperm production in men. Result: a short-term (four to five hour) decrease in reproductive ability. Long term cannabis users, however, build tolerance to this effect and are immune. (1)

If cannabis was legal, the warning label would probably read: "Do not operate a vehicle or heavy machinery". Being stoned leads to a slight impairment of psychomotor and cognitive function. However, in studies, stoned drivers appeared to compensate for their impairment by taking fewer risks and driving more slowly, whereas alcohol tended to encourage risk taking and aggressive driving.

There is a lot of misinformation presented about cannabis and schizophrenia. There is general agreement that heavy cannabis use can precipate schizophrenic episodes but there is no evidence that it can cause the underlying psychotic disorder. Heavy cannabis users can exhibit long-lasting toxic psychosis involving delusions and hallucinations that can be - dangerously - diagnosed as a schizophrenic illness. (4)

Yes and no. Grass or marijuana is generally stronger thanks to sophisticated plant breeding and cultivation methods. However, hash - which usually only contains about 4 -5 % THC - remains weak and unchanged.

No. Like tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke is highly likely to be harmful to fetal development and should be avoided by pregnant women and those who might become pregnant in the near future. quot;Marijuana has no reliable impact on birth size, length of gestation, neurological development, or the occurrence of physical abnormalities.

I only smoke a few draws of cannabis, maybe a whole joint but that 's it. Will this still be detectable on a drug test

The active ingredient THC is detectable in the urine after 48-72 hours in a one-off or occasional user or up to 6 weeks in a heavy user. I only smoke a few draws of cannabis, maybe a whole joint but that 's it. Will this still be detectable on a drug test Yes. Blood and Urine tests involve detecting microscopic amounts of THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis) and THC breakdown products so even a few draws or just a whole joint of cannabis would still be detectable. See here for...

The main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, THC (tetrahydro-cannabinol), is fat-soluble and does enter breast milk and the baby - often, due to the size of the infant, in higher blood concentrations than the mother. However, there is no firm evidence that cannabis or THC can stunt, impair or damage a baby or their growth.

Marijuana smoke is very similar to tobacco smoke, however it contains even more of some of the cancer-causing agents than tobacco smoke. Marijuana smokers also tend to inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in the lungs longer, therefore increasing the risk of damage to the lungs. If a marijuana smoker is also a tobacco smoker or mixes the tobacco with marijuana, the health effects are more damaging. Mixing marijuana with tobacco can result in the added problem of nicotine addiction.

Absolutely. If we can prevent our young people from ever starting a tobacco habit, we will see a tremendous reduction in the number of adults who are hooked. The vast majority of current adult smokers began smoking before the age of 20. The decision to smoke or chew tobacco is almost always made during the teen years, and more than half of these teens will be addicted as adults.
