Study: Cannabis Consumption Has No Negative Effect on Health

Heavy cannabis consumption has no negative effects on a person’s health or use of health care services, according to a study conducted by the Boston Medical Center.
The study intended to combat opposing arguments that tax revenue brought in through cannabis legalization would not be offset by increased health care costs.
Researchers studied 589 adults who screened positive for drug use during primary care visits. Data was then collected on these patients concerning their drug use, emergency room use and overall health status.
Past medical information was also obtained from patient health records.
Because marijuana users often use a second drug, like cocaine or opioids, primary author and researcher Daniel Fuster, MD said it was important to distinguish between those who used marijuana and those who used multiple illicit drugs.
Among the patients tested, 58 percent used marijuana alone.
The study found no difference in health and hospitalization between daily cannabis users and those who abstained.
“Our findings suggest that marijuana use has little measurable effect on self-reported health or healthcare utilization in adults using drugs identified in a primary care clinic,” Fuster wrote.
The study was conducted in partnership with the Boston University School of Medicine.

psychological stress has correlation with physical stress. they both have something to do with ones health.
so i dont see how this is true. a scenario; if someone's hereditary disease is 'released' by marijuana - creating a stressed out individual making him weaker and more prone to disease and injury.
this is realistic and happens all the time.
also, according to brain scans, daily or a few days a week users show the most action when shown there drug of choice through the senses of smell and visual, im not sure if 'hearing' tests were done. but other responses to other things that are fun and such showed complete lack of interest, a numbness.
this affects your chemicals and causes imbalances, in other words it IS bad for your health - regarding chronic marijuana use.
but to say it can't be bad for your health Come on!thats just ignorant

I think the title is misleading
“Our findings suggest that marijuana use has little measurable effect on self-reported health or healthcare utilization in adults using drugs identified in a primary care clinic"
I haven't noticed any serious negative effects of chronic cannabis use compared to other drugs that I have abused. I have noticed little things like throat irritation and insomnia/irritability while abstaining but that's about it...

IME, smoking a doob is quite soothing and, to be honest, I generally feel better. But some may be different. BTW, tell me, what hereditary disease is going to be "released" by marijuana use?

and why should this be attributed to marijuana and not the hereditary disease in question? you put released in brackets for a reason--because marijuana does not cause anything in these cases--a catalyst (if that) is not a cause

'drug of choice', so are we talking marijuana here or what? regardless, how is anyones choice of 'fun' activities a signal for bad health?

care to provide your study on this? rather than vague positing
finally, instead of getting wrapped up in pop-sci scensational headlines about 'no negative effect on health', why not actually check out the study:
Quote:
"Even though we could not compare marijuana users to those who used no drugs at all, our findings suggest that marijuana use has little measurable effect on self-reported health or healthcare utilization in adults using drugs identified in a primary care clinic," said lead author Daniel Fuster, MD, a postdoctoral scholar from the Clinical Addiction Research and Education Unit at BMC and BUSM.
seems like a pretty reasonable conclusion, if you ask me

You have to be predisposed to those conditions for cannabis to bring them out...You don't just get schizophrenia from smoking pot. If that were true then we'd have schizophrenics everywhere

No the exact opposite
Its ONE study, with a SUPER small sample group.so I don't view it as a study, i dont buy propaganda like you.
