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.

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.

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) See similar questions...

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) See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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.

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. See similar questions...

It is not! Urine concentrations of THC above the cut-off sensitivity level of the test, or a positive result, is possible only through use / inhalation. However, second hand smoke will be in the system, but not at the concentrations that would indicate drug abuse. No - the results are not affected by these substances. Urine drug tests are substance and derivative metabolite specific. See similar questions...

No - it doesn't work. High temperatures destroy psilocybin, the active ingredient. Plans for that 'magic pizza', 'magic soup' or 'magic omelette' should be shelved. See similar questions...

Smoking can inhibit proper healing of an implant. However, this does not prevent smokers from having implants successfully placed and restored. You should speak with your dentist for more specific information relating to your dental needs and the effects of smoking. See similar questions...

Cannabis is the most durable of the hemp plants, and it produces the toughest cloth, called 'canvass.' (Canvass was widely used as sails in the early shipping industry, as it was the only cloth which would not rot on contact with sea spray.) The cannabis plant also produces three other very important products which the other hemp plants do not (in usable form, that is): seed, pulp, and medicine. The pulp is used as fuel, and to make paper. The seed is suitable for both human and animal foods. See similar questions...

We are very cognizant that pain control is very important for the patient's well being. Medications are provided to control the level of pain. The typical patient, however, requires only Tylenol and occasional Tylenol with Codeine for control of pain. See similar questions...
