The positive effects of marijuana

Marijuana has been proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of health conditions.

Can relieve pain

Marijuana is often used as a pain reliever. German researchers found that marijuana-based treatments increased the number of people reporting 50% or more pain relief. In a small study of 47 patients with Parkinson's disease, Israeli experts found a 27% reduction in pain when using marijuana.

Eliminates anxiety

“I discovered marijuana at age 19,” says Peter Pryor, MD. “It’s always been a godsend for me because it helps me deal with anxiety and a lot of other issues on a daily basis.”

Regulates blood sugar

Insulin regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. Insulin resistance is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. However, according to Mary Clifton, MD, marijuana offers "less insulin resistance."

Reduces cholesterol

Millions of Americans live with high cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease or stroke. However, according to Dr. Clifton, "people who regularly use cannabinoid drugs have lower cholesterol levels."

Reduces body mass index

Despite the usual “snacking” feeling after taking marijuana, cannabis users tend to weigh less and are less likely to be obese. They have "lower BMIs," says Dr. Clifton.

Negative influence

Daily use of marijuana can have negative consequences as well.

Develops cannabis use disorder (CUD)

“What this means is that these users develop such a strong tolerance to marijuana that they have to consume more each time to experience the same sensation,” says Dr. Sal Reichbach. “This leads to a decrease in dopamine response, suggesting a possible correlation with a weakening of the brain's reward system, increased negative emotions and addiction severity.”

Increases the risk of cardiovascular disease

“Marijuana has been shown to cause increased heart rate and blood pressure, which can be dangerous for people with heart disease,” says Dr. Sanul Corrielus. “It may worsen other, pre-existing heart conditions in long-term cannabis users and older adults, putting them at greater risk for cardiovascular disease.”

Affects coordination and thinking ability

“Cannabis use has a negative impact on coordination and reaction time, and often impairs short-term memory,” says Dr. Jason Levine. “Coordination problems, combined with reaction time and reasoning ability, are responsible for impaired driving and an increase in car accidents.”

Causes respiratory problems

“It must be said that smoking cannabis every day has less impact than smoking cigarettes,” says Dr. Carey Clark. “But some people who smoke cannabis may experience problems such as a chronic cough and excess mucus or phlegm production.”

“The most dangerous aspect is that it increases the risk of lung cancer by 7%,” says Osita Onuga, MD.

Creates memory problems

“Long-term marijuana use can impair a person's performance on memory-related tasks and cause a decrease in motivation and interest in daily activities,” says Dr. Chris Norris. “The effects of cannabis temporarily prevent the brain from developing memories and learning new things, which is a form of short-term memory.”

Negatively affects the developing brain

“The brain continues to develop throughout adolescence and adulthood, and the areas of the brain that control executive functioning, processing, judgment, and decision-making are the last to develop,” says Dr. Randall Dwenger. “Marijuana use can disrupt this brain development and have long-term effects on a person’s future.”

Increases anxiety

A 9000 national survey of more than 2017 Americans found that 81% of people believe marijuana has one or more positive health effects. Nearly half of these respondents cited, among other things, “relief of anxiety, stress, depression” as these potential benefits. But there seem to be as many people saying that marijuana makes their anxiety worse.
