Toxic Effects of Marijuana

Tod H. Mikuriya, M.D.

Individual Toxicity

The smoked use of cannabis is not without hazards which should be clearly recognized so as to permit appropriate action to avoid or minimize these untoward effects.

Physical Effects

The smoke of cannabis is irritating to the mouth, throat, trachea, bronchii, and lungs. The level of irritation is comparable to that of tobacco with the level of irritation dependent upon the amount of exposure, heat of the smoke and degree of impurity. Because of it's illegality it is not yet possible to scientifically document the possible connection with actual lung disease.

For similar reasons it is not possible to determine possible adverse effects upon passive exposure to marijuana smoke.

There are some people that are allergic to marijuana smoke and develop hives or asthmatic symptoms when exposed to it.

Mental Effects

Cannabis when smoked may cause confusion and disorientation in the inexperienced or sensitive user.

Dr. Mikuriya's Credentials

For the past twenty five years Dr. Mikuriya studied the effects of marijuana professionally in capacities of drug abuse treatment program director, research psychiatrist for the federal government, visitor to endemic areas of use, general clinician treating acute psychiatric in-patients and outpatients.

Politically, he was on the board of directors of the California Marijuana Initiatives of 1972 - 74, Amorphia and an advisor to its successor, the National Organization to Reform the Marijuana Laws (NORML).

A graduate of Reed College, Mikuriya completed his medical education at Temple University Medical School, Philadelphia. He received his psychiatric specialty training at Oregon State Hospital in Salem and Mendocino State Hospital in northern California. After serving at the New Jersey Neuropsychiatric Institute at Princeton, Mikuriya was appointed first director of marijuana research at the National Institute of Mental Health, Chevy Chase, Maryland in 1967. Since then he has been in private psychiatric practice in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. Mikuriya has published numerous papers on marijuana and is the editor and publisher of Marijuana Medical Papers.

I will happily poison myself in approximately two hours. I haven't smoked in two years, only vape.

Coup · 06-17-2010, 03:03 PM

marijuana should remain abolished. it poisons the mind and renders the pot smoking populace mindless drones.

Cyber Fucker · 06-17-2010, 03:04 PM

MaryJane is poison but tobacco is not, right?

96ukssob · 06-17-2010, 03:05 PM

wow, what a smart man

TheDoc · 06-17-2010, 03:07 PM

It can be irritating to some, allergic to others, could kill you, could mess with your brain but clearly doesn't to everyone... are we talking about food/drinks or pot?

Coup · 06-17-2010, 03:07 PM

if we are to usher in a wave of revolution we must be strong of body, strong of soul.. and most importantly.. strong of mind.

keep your mind clean for the revolution, comrades!

LeRoy · 06-17-2010, 03:07 PM

Alcohol abuse kills some 75000 Americans each year
Deaths from Smoking: 440000 annual deaths each year

Go gripe about the real problems this country is facing.

Ok so if these were illegal logically those numbers would be lower. Thus if pot is legal it's deaths would go up. So actually yoru stats actually bolster the argument for it remaining illegal.

Common sense says SMOKE of any kind in your lungs is not good. At least cigs have filters. If pot was legal would any of you potheads would smoke a joint with a filter?

Coup · 06-17-2010, 03:20 PM

it's not "cool" to "smoke" "weed". you're just poisoning your mind making yourself fat and lazy.

Smokes have filters to filter out the bad shit that man put into them... even one smoke and you're putting mad made chemicals into your body, cancer, etc is caused by the chemicals.

Pot however, would damage your lungs making you have to breath harder, however when you stop it repairs itself much faster than cigs. Pot works your lungs more which works your heart more and can give you heart disease. Then again, so can drinking soda.

neonlights · 06-17-2010, 03:25 PM

Let me just warn some of you that you can absolutely develop psychological dependence on it. Especially, if you have depression.....

I use portable vaporizers so I am pretty much high all the time. I must've gotten high on average 10 times a day for the past 7 months. I've got very little work done, and recently I am beginning to wake up as I've gone cold turkey.

I think smoking marijuana is very harmful but vaporization should be relatively healthier for your lungs.

I wouldn't say this is entirely true. A drone is a drone, pot or not.

You could say the same about most things that people consume on a daily basis. For example: caffeine. People go crazy for their coffee/soda/energy drinks. Personally I don't drink anything with caffeine as it gives me headaches.

Don't have to even consume it, people going to the gym several times/hours a day, every day of the week... that's not healthy for your body, mind, or anything. Addiction/dependency can happen with just about anything.

Yeah exactly... indoor tanning is a funny one. These people are well aware that indoor tanning carries a 75% greater chance (compared to real sun outdoors) of developing melanoma and they simply don't care.

Same thing can be said for many other substances all of which are perfectly legal. The reasons its illegal has nothing to do with public health don't kid yourself.

Up from zero deaths you mean? There has never been a single death that has been directly attributed to smoking pot.

candyflip · 06-17-2010, 03:41 PM

That's why you vaporize. I like a nice bong hit from time to time, but vaporizing it right is the best.

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 06-17-2010, 03:53 PM

Bong + vape FTW

JD · 06-17-2010, 03:54 PM

smoking weed is no worse than smoking cigs, drinking alcohol, eating fast food, HFC, etc etc etc etc

BlissWFY · 06-17-2010, 07:45 PM

I would take marijuana over nicotine/tylenol/aspirin/oxycontin/motrin etc......anyday. I wouldn't ban any of them. It's my body and my choice. Not yours.
