Cannabis Use Disorder

[GT21]

I get to school this morning and fire up the puter and this is the first thing i spot.

How is it a disorder when you own patents on it for antioxidants?

I need some logic... losing IQ points thinkin about it hahaha

Propaganda.

Being a 45+ years smoker I can attest to needing to take a break every now and then. But looking at the opiate epidemic in the US. Let a opiate user try to take a break.

They seem to think speaking out of both sides of their collective mouth isn't hypocritical. Or something


Here is a bit of clarity. By clarity, I mean manipulation. lol @ the money trail and complete lack of causation.
'Drugged driving' surpasses drunken driving among drivers killed in crashes, report finds
http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/27/health/drugged-driving-death-rates-report/index.html
in part:
"Positive drug tests were more common than the presence of alcohol among the fatally injured drivers who were tested in 2015, according to the report (PDF) "Drug-impaired Driving," released Wednesday by the Governors Highway Safety Association and the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a nonprofit funded by alcohol distillers.
Of those tested, 43% of motorists who died had drugs in their system, the report said. This number surpassed the 37% of motorists who died who tested positive for alcohol in the same year.
"Data in the report showed that for the first time, there are more dead drivers for which we have test results that are positive for drugs than there are who were positive for alcohol," said James Hedlund, an independent safety expert with Highway Safety North in Ithaca, New York. The new report adds to earlier research conducted by Hedlund that addressed behavioral highway safety issues, including drug-impaired driving."

John Oliver on HBO has a fantastic segment on opiates.

And what specific drugs where they testing for? Just marijuana or all drugs whether prescribed or illegal?

I know of 5 people that died this year alone from some bad heroin. Why, most of them were prescribed opiates for Medical reasons by their family doctors . Now enters the DEA and says family DR. should not be allowed to write scripts for pain medication and they make them jump to so-called pain specialist.

A month , last time I had to clean up it took 2 months before my test came back under the limit.

Don't you know that big pharma is looking after us poor citizens? Obviously prescription medications would never cause impairment, that's silly. Of course they only tested for marijuana, and even though the drug can stay in your system for much longer than any time you'd be 'impaired', but it makes pot sound much scarier by implying that marijuana was the cause of death, when that is rarely the case. The simple fact that it stays in your body so long explains why it would be found in people's blood. That whole 'weed is legal in a lot of places now' doesn't fit their narrative.

Twisting words like we twist our joints.

And when insurance companies like Cigna say they will reduce opiate prescription use by 25% over the next three years they fail to mention that those users would turn to lower cost street drugs to combat some of those effects, and yeay, a more addicted and drugged up society.

And why are they only targeting marijuana? no mention of what other drug where found.

Thats just a broad time frame..... you can snort crank, coke, chew up pills, slam dope.... but weed is in the system the longest..... lets blame weed

Because it's easy to imply impairment with marijuana but nearly impossible to prove marijuana is a cause of death in any case, in general. Since opiates are only in your system for a short time it's much more likely to be a causal factor, but I haven't seen a link to death and marijuana, just scary implications. Big pharma doesn't want the general populace to know what they know.

Look at how much money big pharma is spending on marketing drugs that treat the side effects of opiate use, like constipation. It's crazy to me that pharmaceutical companies make so much money off of opiates that they research, develop, and release medications that help treat the side effects of the primary medication, increasing the bottom line while keeping people sick.

10. $5.2 billion

Nielson estimated that $5.2 billion was spent on prescription drug advertising in 2015. The largest chunk of that amount was for television advertising. Two drugs in particular were promoted on TV the most. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) spent $357 million last year in TV ads for Humira. Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) wasn't far behind, shelling out $328 million on commercials promoting Lyrica.

Both ads have a long list of drug interaction, and side effects.
