If you’re a regular cannabis user, it’s a good idea to let your anesthesiologist know before your next medical procedure. According to new guidelines by the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA), anesthesia may not be as effective on heavy marijuana users. That means these patients have an increased likelihood of more pain than usual while recovering from surgery. Even more concerning, the guidelines state that getting high right before an operation can spike your risk of heart complications, including heart attack.

If you regularly use marijuana, you could be in a world of pain after your next operation, suggest the ASRA’s new guidelines.

While many people use marijuana to help with pain management, experts say high doses can actually increase pain and counteract the effects of anesthesia. So whether you use it recreationally or for medicinal purposes, consider cutting back before going under.

“Even though some people use cannabis therapeutically to help relieve pain, studies have shown regular users may have more pain and nausea after surgery, not less, and may need more medications, including opioids, to manage the discomfort,”…

When asked to pick one among the multitude of CBD products that are hitting the markets, each one will have a personal choice liked due to specific features of the product. CBD oils and CBD edibles are two CBD options that are quite popular among the CBD users.

In this session, we are making a comparison of CBD oil and CBD edibles.

The most common administering method of CBD oils is sublingual intake but that doesn’t imply that it is the exclusive method of taking CBD oil. CBD oils can be added to edibles and beverages making the edible or beverage similar to any common ingestible CBD product.

In a sublingual method, CBD oil is measured out in a dropper to ensure that the serving is in the right dosage and kept under the tongue for 60 seconds before swallowing it. During the time when the CBD oil is kept under the tongue, CBD in the oil enters the bloodstream directly through the sublingual gland. As the name suggests, CBD edibles are similar to that of any normal edible and the intake method is no different.

CBD is a fat soluble compound and CBD oils are made by dissolving CBD extract into carrier oils. The CBD is extracted using extraction methods like CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction etc.  CBD edibles are prepared by adding CBD extract to traditional edibles like gummies, candies, chocolate etc.

Potency refers to the amount of CBD contained in each serving of the CBD product indicating…

Local police discovered and destroyed over 2,000 fully grown marijuana plants and dried marijuana stalks in Kibungan, Benguet on Sunday, February 26.

According to the authorities, this has an estimated sale value of P5,956,000 and weighs ove 45 kilos. Reports also show that the plants were planted in a public lot that is considered a communal forest.

No suspects were arrested during the operation but Benguet police continue to conduct investigations.

White substances believed to be methamphetamine was seized in Nakasi while more than 2,700 plants believed to be marijuana was seized from a farm near Kadavu during drug raids conducted this past week.

Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police (A/ACP) Livai Driu said the seizures were made throughout the country, reflecting the tempo of drug operations.

He said in the Northern Division, particularly in the Labasa area, marijuana was seized following raids conducted by the Labasa Taskforce team.

A/ACP Driu said successful raids have been conducted in past weeks, as more information is received from members of the public.

“While teams are pursuing new information on those involved in the illicit drug trade, similar efforts is directed to revisiting well known areas of cultivation and trade.”

LAKEWOOD, Ohio — It does seem strange that Ohio voters are being urged to legalize pot by the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. Barring some new political hurdle imposed by the anti-freedom caucus in Columbus, a constitutional amendment to that effect will appear on the November 2023 ballot.

As we know, or at least should know, alcohol-impaired driving is responsible for thousands of traffic deaths nationally each year. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), that number was 11,654 in 2020, accounting for 30% of all traffic-related deaths.

There is some evidence from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs that fatal traffic accidents increased by about 4% in states where recreational marijuana has been legalized. However, across states, studies have indicated a variance between a 4% increase and a 10% decrease in fatal accidents following legalization.

Objectivity is elusive in comparing alcohol and marijuana traffic dangers.

More strikingly, though, the CDC reports approximately 140,000 deaths per year resulting from excessive alcohol use in the United States. The CDC also reports an average of six alcohol-poisoning deaths per day. The number of such deaths attributed to marijuana use is close to zero. Even the Drug Enforcement Agency acknowledges that zero deaths from marijuana overdoses have been reported.

By any reasonable viewpoint, it’s marijuana that should be legal and alcohol that should be illegal.
