For a marijuana risk I’ve not seen mentioned often:
I fainted in my hallway while going to bed thanks to orthostatic hypotension which is made significantly stronger when I smoke.
I still don’t consider it worse than alcohol though. It’s well known to be neurotoxic, hepatoxic, and addictive. And if you do get addicted, the withdrawals are worse than many hard drugs. The positive effects are generally pretty nice, but almost invalidated by the next morning.
- sidpatil 5y ago> It’s well known to be neurotoxic, hepatoxic, and addictive. Are you referring to cannabis or to alcohol in this statement?
- the_only_law 5y agoAlcohol (note comment about horrific withdrawals), marijuana may or may not be toxic to different organs but the threshold for serious damage is a higher. I have a family member that’s still strongly against any form of legalization because he swears up and down “marijuana destroyed his family”, yet has no qualms sipping on beer and bourbon despite multiple people in our family having been killed or ruined by it
