Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005, started medical cannabis in 2010 and have been symptom free since. I grow my own all natural, organic, probiotic grown cannabis. I eat it, I vape it, I apply it topically. I get it into me anyway I can. It has also saved me from a sever opiate addiction. Cannabis saved my life.
Just wish the gov would free the incarcerated that manufactured cannabis not for profit but to help the afflicted with their pain and pray for the souls who took their own lives because they weren’t allowed to use cannabis to alleviate or cure their affliction
I had a patient with MS and was treating her with Tysabri, she also started using THC, she actually developed schizophrenia and I had to discharger her off service.....
@@CrisusAttucks Are you suggesting that cannabis was the cause for her schizophrenia? And what do you mean discharge her off service of what? Wasn't Tysabri taken off the market by the manufacturer in 2019, due to reports of a rare but serious brain infection Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)? Could that have something to do with the onset of schizophrenia? I'm always a little skeptical of people who sub to FOX, OAN, Newsmax and The Rubin Report. It's not difficult to work out your political views.
I never smoked marijuana or had any form of it in my adult life and at age 55 , my Mother died of cancer in 2013 . Marijuana was the only herbal medicine that helped me through many difficult days. I used it at bedtime to help me relax and I worked full time as a nurse in the daytime with no side effects. I was calm at home and able to grieve without making me sick or crying constantly.
I am a medical cannabis exemptee. I smoked two joints of high THC (26%) and low CBD (0.3%) cannabis. I smoked them back to back prior to a treadmill heart exam. I had zero issues show up. They said I had "the heart of a teen-aged athlete". Cannabis is my only prescription and I am senior citizen. I am delighted with my health.
That's not what happened. What really happened is you got so stoned you only thought that's what they told you. No Christopher, your just an old dude like me. LOL
@@dbx1233 You weren't there. You know nothing. TROLL ALERT. Everyone can take notice how TROLLS use fake names. Hey, you use a fake name. Yup, you're a troll.
Exactly…the main take away is that you probably shouldn’t smoke but cannabis in moderation can be good for you. I would say taking adderall is way more risky for the heart than a 10 mg edible

Using medical marijuana for 7 months now. Blood pressure 118/78. Best reading since my mastectomy in 2013. No heart meds. No anxiety meds. Works for me.
I’ve smoked pot since I was 15 years old when I was in my mid 30s I quit due to my kids and starting church after I quit in few years my blood pressure escalated my heart rate kept rising and I had 3 heart attacks in my mid 40s afterwards I was on tons of meds after a few years I started smoking pot again in months my blood pressure dropped to normal my heart rate became normal my out look on nerves became settled and I’m no longer on any meds not even aspirins That you God for this plant it’s saved my life I’m 58 now and feeling like 25 and healthy thank you lord
Well this study being in Chi, I mean Canada, and the guy is a chin, I mean a professor, he wouldn't be misinformed lol. He is talking much of the narrative beware. Smoke it, it stays balanced according to German studies. There's a natural limiting action when the plant is kept whole, and when smoked. Deaths from thc are from the pharmaceutical pill.

A friend of mine was the MOST OVER MEDICATED person I knew with opioid pain killers. He was prescribed about 3 times as much as the average chronic pain recipient. Using THC and CBD he was able to quit ALL OPIATES. Good for you Brett !!
I was able to put a 25 year heroin addiction firmly in my rear view mirror (10 years and counting!) when I was prescribed medical Marijuana while dealing with a potentially deadly illness. Once I was better, I kept the thc, and never touched the other ish again! Let me clarify, methadone was also a factor in quitting, but the thc was why I was able to STAY clean!
I loved this presentation. Thank you Dr. Oh, for this thoughtful and concise, yet in depth lecture. It was most enjoyable to learn more Cannabis Science with you. After 35 years of cannabis self therapy, i'm now a legal medical patient here in the UK.
I stopped smoking cannabis over ten years ago. Wanting to be a positive role model in my children’s lives. I’m a disabled veteran and was dealing with the VA and their pharmaceutical medicines. Over a six month period I dropped a 65lbs and not by trying. Being rushed to the hospital three different times because I’d collapse due to lack of nutrition and being so badly dehydrated. Every test you could think of for a man in his 50’s. They found nothing. Actually my heart, blood pressure and bloodwork are immaculate. When I was not smoking cannabis I had high blood pressure. Found it extremely difficult to lose weight. I was always told my blood pressure was so bad I was looking at a stroke or heart attack. I think I’ll just stick to the natural plant. The past 30 years the medical field has really lost my respect
I stopped all pharma products cold turkey and use Marijuana religiously. It's natural, safe and actually works while not destroying my gut and other organs. Not to mention my brain.
I’m 51 and smoking weed since I was 14. After my first hit, I felt incredible. Never had paranoia. When my mom caught me in my teens, I told her it’ll be legal someday. Here we are!
Be glad you don't get the paranoia. My first 5 or 6 times were amazing...just phenomenal with absolutely no paranoia. I had never heard of weed causing paranoia at that time. But then unexpectedly after smoking a joint I thought I was having a heart attack and had all the typical paranoia reactions that everyone has heard of...and that was just some Mexican brick weed back in 2001. Ever since then I get a different high from weed. Unless I am smoking a ton of weed all the time where my tolerance is high, I've always had an unusually low tolerance for weed since then as well. Even if I take an extremely small single hit, and blow it out immediately, I will still get full fledged paranoia at times.
@@daciefusjones8128 Indica, Sativa or hybrid...it all gives me the same paranoia reactions. I think it has to do with your individual body chemistry and personality and mindset as well.
@Noah Wolf I believe I probably have something like ADHD or autism, but definitely not the hyperactive kind. I've always had attention problems since a young child and I still have them to this day, and it continues to negatively effect my life at age 36. I have a hard time adapting to new situations where I am forced to make things work in a new situation, I always forget something critical. I also have always had problems getting things backwards or mixed up with verbal instructions, if it's not fairly simple. In school I absolutely struggled with Math but I was decent at most other things not related to Math. All that said, I don't know if I want to get properly diagnosed or try medication. I went through a brief phase in my younger life where I was doing crystal meth here and there (I know, very stupid) and I had a *_really_* bad reaction to it in one particular instance where I thought I was having a stroke/heart attack, felt like I was about to die any second. When I came out of it, felt like it caused some brain damage as well, but the hazy/cloudy brain fog I had for about a year afterward has thankfully passed. After that I can barely drink coffee or use any form of caffeine without getting a weird reaction to it that I never used to get. I don't even want to think about what other stimulant drugs would do. But weed has always given me paranoid reactions long before I was doing meth, and afterward nothing changed at all.
I’ve suffered from chronic depression and anxiety and migraines for more than 50 years. Around two months ago, I started taking CBD and lion’s mane mushroom supplements. I have never felt better. No depression, no migraines. I sleep like a baby. Amazing!

I found this guys “knowledge” lacking terrible ,I was injured in a big truck accident with severe whiplash . For 15 years I listened to my doctors ….took the morphine as prescribed ,did 5 different surgeries when they told me to . I was almost dead when Ohio allowed Medical Marijuana for certain diagnoses . I fit three of those . Here I am 5 years later on oral cannabis for the most part and I’m thriving as long as I treat . I haven’t seen a doctor in 4.5 years and am currently planning my 120th birthday party in the year 2080 ,because that’s how well I’m doing .
Lol every physician needs to relearn most of what they were "taught" Its not working. And the fact that physicians dont question why every other person have the same types of diseases and they just prescribe the same meds over and over is appalling.
Do Not Trust all Doctors... Most are into the profit side of Practice. I generally mistrust MDs. The last three primary cares were complete assholes. My 16 years in practice tells me a lot more than these punks did. >>>>>>>>>This Guy was GREAT.
general physicians generally aren't exactly health experts, they're good at treating basic common conditions, and narrowing down which expert to send you to they have so much blank space on general medicine knowledge, I would never listen to one about fitness and general physical health
A heart transplant doctor recommended I do edibles because over the counter pain relievers were effecting my kidneys. I did it and it helps to ease the pains I have. This is my go to for all my aches and pains and I will never stop using it. BTW my kidneys recovered and no heart transplant for me for now. God bless Marijuana and it's effects in alleviating my pains.
I first tasted cannabis as a 19 yo Marine in '70 and have smoked ever since , never have cared for hangovers from beer and most of the violence and dangerous behavior has happened while around alcohol . This is a very interesting and helpful video .❤
A friend of mine with MS went from having to be in a wheelchair to not only not needing one but going out and dancing. All because of thc and CBD. It changed her life…so much so, she opened her own store which sells everything from creams, patches, etc.
One of my lifelong friends--who smoked weed daily for over 50 years, suddenly died from a heart attack last month--age 75....did the weed intake hasten his death?...it clearly did not help...so live and learn, I guess. Like many in my generation, I briefly used weed, but only in a social situation, not daily. And I stopped doing that after a couple of years. I have developed heart problems anyway, so no one can say if using that stuff is good or not. But I am glad I decided early on, to abstain, given my situation now.
@@curbozerboomer1773 if he smoked anything, then the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke goes up significantly. Using THC and CBD for medical reasons should be administered in a way that is healthy, such as oil drops or edibles. I'm sorry about your friend.
There is NO healing from a hit. A hit only masks the problem. Once you don't get your hits your problems come back AND EVEN WORSE. Heal your problems with proper food, not with a 'hit' that you will be forever dependant on.

Watching this presentation I felt he was speaking directly to me. Taking antidepressants and smoking cannabis ended up in ER, defibrillated, and airlifted to Toronto General for ablation. A few months later started on a Beta blocker, and HR dropped to 35 bpm. After Holter recommended for another Ablation but after watching this I think I found the real problem. Stopped cannabis and Beta-blocker a week ago and HR is back to normal and the best I have felt in years. Thank you, Dr Oh from the bottom and the top of my heart.

I live in Canada. I started taking CBD oil legally because I was diagnosed with severe arthritis and was waiting for knee surgery and hip surgery. In about 5 weeks the pain was gone, and I declined the surgeries. In addition my heel spurs stopped being an issue. My expensive cane is at my door as a reminder of where I was. The fact that this substance was made illegal for several decades is a travesty. Anyway I recommend it to all my medically challenged friends.
LOL cause big pharma can't control it and profit on it so like everyone else if they cant control it make it out to bad for you and illegal....nuff said
@@SandraMartinez-os3hu keep a track of food you eat to begin with if you want to heal. There is no pil or substance that is going to heal you - your own body can do it if you help it. And btw, look up Dr Berg on youtube.
This is by far the best presentation I have seen on cannabis from a medical professional. I especially appreciated the information on THC & CBD interactions with other medications. THC tincture is just one option in my pain management toolkit and knowing how it interacts with the medications I have to take is critical. Thank you Dr. Oh for a non-judgmental, enjoyable and very informative talk.
I first smoked pot at 18. I'm now 70, and still smoke, though not as much as I used to. Very little alcohol. I've never had a cardiac episode nor do I know anyone that has experienced one related to pot. I had a good career as an RN for 27 years. That's where I got all my hemostats from. I use a pulse oximeter occasionally when I smoke. I've never had a drop or increase in heart rate, and my O2 levels never change. I also grow my own, so I know it's not adulterated. Happy trails.
I’ve worked in a few hospitals as a non medical but essential staff employee I’ve met so many nursing staff and even doctors and even surgeons both men and women who I’ve stumbled on while in their secret spot partying , so what does the medical community think of cannabis is obvious so break me off a piece of that Keif kat bar.

Outstanding presentation. I worry that, with the decline in the quality of our schools and lack of science teaching, people are not going to be persuaded by facts. The coverage of grapefruit's effect on medication build-up is gold. Every medical and pharm student should be required to view this presentation.
We all learn about Grapefruit and CYP450 action in 2nd year of Med school. It’s on every step 1 exam(of 3), as well as medical boards exam. It’s a basic pharmacology concept and we learn many others as well. We aren’t as dumb as the internet tries to portray us 😂
Because I'm trying to escape anxiety - I don't tend to panic myself with prescription medication small print. I trust it to either be obvious or for the warning to be explicit. Nobody told me about grapefruit (which, JustMe, I think actually blocks the liver's ability to convert excess drug into something that can be excreted... I think, this means, grapefruit means there's much more of the active compound in our blood stream) and I found out the hard way. Now, I avoid anything acidic around the time of my medication (SSRI and hypertension). Even a tomato seems to bring the meds back up (in the most dramatic fashion possible). I was not aware, however, that cannabis behaves like grapefruit. I have a lot to think about.
@@TraceurDoc1 Thank you for that clarification. (I have never believed Med students are dumb. Ever!) I should have said "every pharmacy executive" should be required to see this presentation, because Walmart has never put the grapefruit warning on a med I take. The way I found out is that Walgreens DID put the warning on. I had suffered side effects when I unknowingly went on a grapefruit binge. I mentioned this to a Walmart pharmacist and even sent a note to their corporate office--to no avail. They never did mark the medication, at least, not the one I take.
After 24 yrs in U.S. Marine Corps, had 14 spinal surgeries, left knee & right ankle rebuilt. I’ve been using cannabis for pain management for over 5 years. I buy several strains based on their terpene profiles and what the different terpenes do for me. Then I mix the strains to come up with a blend that handles the symptoms I live with. I keep a journal of what blends of terpenes/ cannabis and quantities used in the blends that I need . i.e. Back spasms-Mercene Anti inflammation-Caryophyllene Etc…. Mixing strain’s works awesome, I use a coffee grinder to mix my blends Save the Keif it’s the original concentrate! Pain was my constant companion prior to cannabis! Orlando, Florida👍😎
What type of THC ( CBD?) do you get to isolate your terpenes for spasm and anti-inflamatory? I've had a spinal fusion and I can't take asprin, advil or opiods, for gastric and addiction problems. I currently just have CBC, and sativa gummies.
@@Pellican516 Don't worry about all the hardware. Shit happens and you need your feet. Focus on every video on ankle surgery recovery on UTube, Recovery is painful as is with all surgeries. Walk a-lot and work thru the pain. You'll find that you will be up and about in no time. Took me around 9 weeks to get back to normal.
Yes, Dr. Oh is a skilled communicator, but he avoids answering questions. For example… he was asked in the Q & A whether he had shared his perspectives on this topic with the Ontario Government re the opening the retail Cannabis Stores. Notice… he purposely does not answer the question.
Stage three colon cancer survivor here. THC is my go to drug daily. It eases my pain. It helps me not use strong opiates also. Pot helps me relax,it helps me eat.It works very well for me.
I'm in the same boat stage 3 colorectal cancer surgery ,colostomy ,9 months chemo infusions ,I didn't take any drugs in hospital ,they gave me meds for nausea from chemo which sucked , diarrhea was out of control turned to weed for relief and still use it 18 months after surgery I've feel great and doing more work than ever (construction) be well my friend and know there are many others just like you .
I thought the exact opposite, I have used weed for years and knew about everything he said ( I want to know about what I put in my body) I stopped watching and thought the guy was on the fence about the use of weed and made me feel like there was still a stigma about the use of it. He kept saying stuff like " I dont know how you use it but you probably don't want to admit it here today" over and over he kept making statements like this I dont know but you may not want to talk about here or maybe you do? actually reinforcing a stigma on the drug not erasing one
This guy is definitely being paid by the pharmaceutical industry, big pharma. He's making marijuana sound so evil! Sounds like he's talking to a room full of Godly Christians who do no wrong, o absolutely not! This guy is a snake oil salesman, like pharma reps. Pushing their agendas to increase their coffers, and the sheep form their opinions by him....SAD
Very rational and well-explained presentation. Takeaway: Don't use weed if you're taking certain specific Rx drugs, take edibles or oil but be careful of dosage. If you have heart trouble, avoid weed.
Pot and aerobic bicycling were the co-treatments I used to recover from 2 problems. One, I was addiction to street drugs. Two, I had an eating disorder. 43 years clean and eating well. Resting Heart Rate average is around 52. BP is great as well. All glory to God.

They did a study in Canada that said the THC tunes down the carcinogens that causes cancer in the smoke. While it gives you the munchies it spends up the breakdowns of sugars in your stomach. This plant is truly a miracle and when you sit down and study you see how this plant can change the world.
@Mathias cannabis has anti cancer effects it is science look it up please it would take extreme dosages to kill the cancer check out running from the cure I think it’s on UA-cam.
@Mathias psychotic episodes I’ve been smoking for almost 40 years and I’ve never seen a psychotic episode there’s no record of it causes anything but people not knowing how to deal with what their feeling don’t understand how to deal with what they’re feeling or taking something else with ir
Yes and what's sad is that there are countless plants like this (not to smoke lol) that are being suppressed bc they could upend the entire pharmaceutical industry and also greatly affect the healthcare and weight loss industries, some of the largest industries in our country
@Mathias you are actually wrong. It does not CAUSE those episodes. I know me and my brother deal with this as we smoke every day. It is an exasserbant meaning it just exaggerates what already is. So if you are already super anxious you could smoke and then make it 10× worse but you can also use it to supress the anxiety. It's mental and that part always gets left out. That's the problem with medicine today is that it's always looked at thru a very narrow scope when there are countless things that effect everything and that never gets taken into account
Very delightful speaker. Kept me entertained and tuned in the entire time. Keep doing what your doing Dr. Oh, you are good at it! Very informative! Thank you.

People Fuck their lives up doing what they luv most. From Sport to wingsuit flying sky diving Scuba diving, street racing you name it. How can people Place burden on People that eat too much and are obese when others take risks most probably in their own lives just for the thrill? Happiness and comfort are or can be opposition to one another. You may be smoking a joint or eating high sugar or Fatty foods right now. You are comforted, but you really know that if you were fitter and maybe a few years younger, there would be things that would really rather be doing that would really make you happy, things you used to do? But we just settle for comfort.This is the same as security and freedom. We give up our freedoms to make us feel more safer comfortable. But if only we truly knew the Happiness life could bring if we were to lose the fear of losing those things that make us feel safer more secure more comfortable? The only thing that stands between the two is "Regret". Live life how you desire NOT how others desire of you.
Delta 8 doesn’t work for everyone it was actually stumbled on by cannabis scientists derived from plants that got fire retardant on them from the California wildfire plane drops I’ve tried both gummy’s and vape cartridges they worked well at first then the effects wore off quickly and stopped working the gummy’s helped to relax, but I’m sticking with the real deal I’m 60 with a back injury and I don’t want opiates like OxyContin

Cool, what kind is it, like cbd thcwise, I'm kind of in a similar boat I healed say after 5 years it was good 10 years it was better add another 10 years now its debilitating
Ankylosing Spondylitis is often in connection with Ulcerative Colitis. It is an auto immune condition like U.C. Probiotics do help with UC. And, >appetite results from CBD may help with weight loss that could have been from undiagnosed U.C. I know someone with this condition. They take Humira, that helps. But, is very expensive - Shot 2x a month. If you have something that helps you; great.
I was a pothead for many years before it was legalized for medical use. I hadn't smoked for about 25 years. When anti inflammatory meds quit working, I got a medical card and found a dispensary. The employees spend a great deal of time answering your questions to assure you find the best product for your needs. I have tried CBD in the past with little result, but these are far superior products. I take gummies, but I also do the buds. Not all day or everyday. But it helps me deal with my hip and knee pain, and since I knew what Indica and Sativa, thanks to the staff, I was able to try several different strands in joint form, and see which I preferred. They always address my concerns and answer my questions.
So happy doctors are finally getting educated in the field of Cannabis. I want to encourage all Healthcare professionals to be careful casting judgment on people who choose to use this as part of their lifestyle or healthcare options. The pros vs the cons must be weighed, which I did not see presented in this excellent article.
We have to undo 70 years of reefer madness and the rest of the twisted government disinformation campaign. Big pharma are the main lobbyists pushing against legalization here in the states. A doctor friend told me they fear it displacing their top five revenue producing medications.
As nurses we were trained to NEVER make moral judgements regarding our patient, their illness or injury. Sad to say many still do. Especially the foreign trained nurses given license to practice in their respective state. Muslim nurses never change their opinion as it is their religious doctrine.
As for the moral judgement comment, BS. There's no training for humanizing wolf pack mentality on client and especially their own on My topic. And the acceptance of marijuana use for self medicating only just happened. I know, I was a nurse, and treated fkn horribly when me Rick Simpson, Barry Prince Did seminars that brought the legalization of marijuana to BC and Canada. In fact, my children were taken away cause I treated my daughter's CA spleen with it. They never came home .so nurses are VILE. And they will never change..they are bullies for a paycheque. They belong to neighborhood watch groups which are proving to be associated with sex Trafiking and kidnapping. Sorry for sharing the sad story. Yes cannabis is great congratulations. Maybe someone should make me a ho fund me page for stepping up with truth and losing my nursing license and children so you can all get stones without researching why you got sick in the first place.
Dr. Oh is a great lecturer. He manages to talk about a lot of touchy subjects in a neutral way, so he comes across as reassuring rather than alarming. Great information on the cardiac side of things. He doesn't say this, but what I got from the lecture is that If you have any kind of heart disease, stay away from cannabis.
Dr. Oh is a great lecturer. Makes sense and is very sympathetic to the issues of marijuana users, giving sensible -logical- explanations of all the endulgents' use and many pitfalls of using marijuana regarding heart health, liver health, etc. . Great Lecture!
I've smoked marijuana 5 times in my life she gave me to smoke one time and I was out fell asleep but she smoked all day like it was cigarettes she had a little hitter box she called it but we don't know what really cause it marijuana or her pain killers or her covid vaccine
Totally agree! He never sounded ideological about pot, just gave the evidence and some very reasonable conclusions. I really like the way he asked a series of questions in the beginning as if posing riddles that we could look forward to solving. I definitely would use this approach in my teaching.
My Dad and his Dad died of a Heart attacks @ 60, never smoked weed or cigs. I have smoked weed and eaten edibles my entire life, and yet I'm still here @ 68. I know my days are numbered, I'm keeping my weed.
BigBass255; Keep it green man! ✌I’m 58 and have been using marijuana since my teens. Love that it’s legal now. Great new strains of quality bud have yielded heavy THC % products.
Excellent and informative video. I'd love to see it's reach exceed 2.5M views because the specific medications he mentioned that have adverse or build-up effect in the body when mixed with CBDs are extremely common. We're all familiar with the warnings about eating/drinking too much grapefruit but many doctors don't even know to warn against the mixing of CBDs and certain prescription medications. It's also invaluable to know that marijuana has been "Frankensteined" into a substance dangerously more potent.
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been a cannabis user and tobacco smoker for many years. I tried and failed to give up the tobacco many, many times. I never wanted to give up the cannabis because, since menopause, I’ve relied on it to help with stress and serious sleep problems. Eventually, I found CBD capsules, which I take at night and I have now been smoke-free for 9 weeks BUT… I also take Amlodipine and Amitriptyline for BP and migraine. Your segment on CBD interaction with these medications has given me pause for thought! Thank you for the education 😊
This is just kind of interesting: My sister in law said that when she had migraines, my Mom would relentlessly massage the top of the big toe, reflecting the brain meridians. After doing it relentlessly with the eraser of a pencil, it would go away. You tube has feet meridian charts, and also hand and ear.
I've been struggling with cptsd, among other things, one day recently, I took an edible, and I was able to see "outside" of myself and the harm drinking was doing. Since then, the euphoric joy that begins with the first drink, is gone. I'm drinking 1\3 less than I have in decades, and I'm glad.
Good deal! CPTSD here too and it helped me quit drinking completely (and to quit smoking years before). I started meditating much more regularly... at least daily). Takes care of my insomnia (just do indica almost exclusively in the evening). It didn't get rid of the cptsd, but it certainly helps to manage it.
God bless you! Had to comment re the CPTSD and drinking. I have CPTSD although they just called it PTSD when I was diagnosed. I have not had a drink in 20 years. The weed replaced that long before medical was legal. It actually saved me, I was starting to show liver damage from drinking. They said if I quit it would lessen or even go away completely. My liver functions are normal and there is no sign of cirrhosis. Keep at it, you can do it!!!
You should look into MDMA and psychedelics. Lots research being done and data is looking very promising. Some people showing long term disappearance of PTSD symptoms after a few sessions as opposed to chronic use of weed.
@@nickx4475 Yeah... ketamine clinics are popping up where I am. Also, many people with PTSD/CPTSD find relief with cannabis. Just (preferably) stay away from alcohol.
Hey CRAC. I STARTED SMOKING pot in Vietnam, 1968, never stopped smokin' and driving big rigs Professionally for 40 years. Got caught up in a random "P in a cup" in 2016. And that was the first time I ever got terminated from any of my full time trucking jobs. I went on to drive until 2018- then was forced to retire because I failed a newly DOT mandated "whisper" test on my every two year physical. I'm 74, I take no prescribed drugs, have no physical issues. I MANAGED to survive the roads to hell and back with about 3.75 million accident free miles. I really think because I always smoked cigarettes and reefer, as a double trouble smoker, I early on worried about my lungs. Wierdest thing is my lungs always stayed clear. I finally figured out that the marijuana, is a very good expectorant and it was the* cough* that expelled the cigarette gunk. Also with the marijuana smoke I always took a deep hit..pulled the smoke down into my big toes!! HOLD IT...... ok, exhale..great lung exercise. Funny that you know a lot about what you're talking about ,but my history of my first twenty years of doing my own personal research is written in my bio. Wrote in 1988 &'89.,its titled Marijuana; one mans mystique ,another mans truth. Author is Maxon Roads, and the book is in all online bookstores/Amazon, etc.
i have to agree, weed when inhaled with an overly powered toke can cause coughing, thus one may experience a (clearing) of the lungs on a frequent basis, so i feel as though smoking may actually be good for your lungs as mine are 63 and near perfect as well ? i have never even seen any lung problem signs.
Great that you've shared your truth/story in a book that will help others! God bless you for your service driving truck all those years - glad you are still with us brother!!!
I smoked weed for 20 years. Stopped cold turkey 3 months ago. It was ruining my life, physically, professionally and mentally. My lungs, and heart, are thanking me.
Yes TRUTH thank you. Weed ruins you that is why governments are legalllizing it. Do people think governments care about the people. THEY DO NOT. They are sedating the people, making them dependant and then when the "hit" is no longer available people who need it will go nuts, all their problems come back and they will kill to get relief and kill for a "hit". Praise God you got free.
I am so glad I gave up all weed and booze through AA meetings and living that lifestyle! I used for 30 years and couldn't stop and stay stopped at all until I changed my old ideas and took on a different set of rules to live by!! Thanks
when you abuse cannabis and mix it with the low brow drug alcohol, you have no concept of the benefits of using cannabis properly as a nutrient and medicine.
An excellent presentation of the science and pharmacology that I as a layman who has suffered heart problems for many year can understand and relate to with my use of Statins and Canabidiol.

I carry a cell phone and I have a GPS tracker in my pack with my first aid kit and other emergency supplies like a loud whistle and strobe light. Just because I use cannabis doesn't mean I am not concerned for my safety.
Excellent, *honest* presentation. I've been smoking cannabis for ~43 years, and learned quite a lot from this. The key is the honesty because we have always been fed the dishonest government-provided information which we know, through personal experiences, is suspect at best!

Had a surgery with a very long and painful recovery a few years ago. Doctors prescribed hydromorphone, and promptly scared me out of using it with a lecture about how it kills people. OTC painkillers did nothing for me. I tried a dose of hydromorphone. Nothing. I could try taking more, but after the scare talk, I ruled that out. In desperation I tried vaping cannabis, and it probably saved my life. It got me through the worst of the pain and associated misery, allowed me to sleep, and the only side effects were a fresh appreciation of music and humor, and an occasional craving for sour cream and bacon chips. Over two years later and still not fully recovered, but cannabis is still a daily part of my life, mostly right before bed. I sleep better than I ever have, and my heart and lungs ace every test my doctor puts me through.
I used to grind my teeth while I slept until I started vaping before going to bed. Now I haven't broken a tooth in years and I wake up in the morning with no tension headaches most days.
Excellent presentation. Making health personel aware of our necesity to educate on marihuana 101... The 'today' practice makes it an obligation. Thanks for the lecture.
It’s been life changing for me! No more prescription medications for my anxiety and seizers. I was on 5 different things now I have my life back and feel the way I did as a teenager. So much so I’m now an athlete and train 4 hours a day every day. 🙌💪
You have to be careful too much of the wrong type of pot can give you a major anxiety attack… if you ever feel an anxiety attack coming on EAT ANYTHING WITH SUGAR!!!!… The sugar will bring you down pretty quick.. what I used to do when I was younger I have not had to do something like that for 25:years hahahaha….peace
This is an excellent presentation and in considering use of CBD I have discovered through the information in this video that it could very well cause problems with my current medications. I'm grateful for this information.
@Ms Bliss Problem is, some of the pharma actually works for what it's for. Best thing is to do the homework and find out what some doctor might be putting you on... like statins when you don't actually have high cholesterol. You always have to assume responsibility for your own health care, it's your ass on the line so why wouldn't you?
I'd rather my "rage" subside by a "hit" than going on a rage in the house & to others! I calm down in 3 min. I'd rather die earlier just to keep my stress levels lower for now!
@@donjoe2661 Yes, please! What concentration & what brand is good? I suffer not knowing what to buy CBD-wise for pain. Bought a $50 bottle for anxiety & nothing. I'm dying with this MS pain!
Fantastic and brave session. We've advanced since the date that this exposé was put out and CBD has changed thousands of peoples' lives. Charlotte's web is one phenomenon and what it has done for children. Unfortunately, legislators have pharmaceutical company interests in lieu of public interests. Congratulations for the session.
To me as RN, this is for the layperson as well as medical professionals. Interesting correlation with heart issues. Check with, if not prescribed, with your MD
@@aircavmedic I have been involved with the Health field for over 30 years. It is very irresponsible to go against your doctor's recommendations and I have always recommended that the patient ask their doctor for a prescription which happens in 1 out of 4 cases and results have been just short of miraculous in every case. Unfortunately, those cases don't have a voice and Doctor's don't talk about them so as to not upset their faculty. And of course we understand big Pharma's role and that of politicians in all of this.
My worst weed experiences of my life have involved Charlottes Web! Not smoking it. Smoking it is completely pointless. But injesting too much of it has been horrible for me. Everone is different
65, been smoking since 16-17. Where I live now is like romancing the devil. So, I travel and get what I need for a few months at a time. The south is really anti marijuana, but alcohol is everywhere, simply immaturity on our legislators and fear from the boggy man in our religious leaders who now run the south. God bless all who don’t enjoy the great benefits. I suffer from chronic pain and anxiety after loosing my husband and toddler to a drunk deacon, marijuana keeps me healthy painless and aware of my surroundings. Opioids were prescribed, but as soon as I left the hospital and long therapy I took myself of the chems! Best decision ever!
Snake venom is natural too. 25 year vet of the Industry here. As hard of a smoker as they come. Had my first heart attack at 30 and 4 since. The truth is the doc is right. I myself need no study to show me otherwise..10 years down the road. 17 stents over a decade has given me the clarity needed to reject my denial. It has nearly killed me 5 times now. In excess, some of u young people will experience the same and will have no answers as to why. The doc explains it here with his example of a 35 yo. Same thing happened to me and dont care to say it. Doc, complete your study asap on the negative effects. You are heading in the right direction. No matter the varietal aside pure cbd. Same effect for me. Racing skipping heart on the brink of attack...sheer dread. Common now after so much damage done. Ive now lost 35% of my function. Again long time advocate here and now im flipping on it because im honest to myself. Dont let the culture blind you. I hope this saves someones life one day
So, natural medicine and modern medicine doesn't play nice with each other. Thank you Dr. Oh for an excellent presentation that will undoubtedly save lives.
I totally understand this but they need to also to do a video on how the effects of medications negatively harm people as well as well as causing addictions.
Please note that all the cautions you are listing for cannabis apply equally to all pharmceuticals as well. They work for some and not for others, they need to be individually titrated (and often are not), and they have interactions with other drugs or foods, and can have detrimental side effects .
How many millions of people smoke Cannabis responsibly and do not get heart issues? How many millions of people have smoked Cannabis responsibly since time began and did not get heart problems ? How many people in this study were unfit, had a poor diet and were Vit D, Magnesium, Potassium and Zinc deficient?
Yes - this lecture was alarmist. If you have heart disease, do not consume cannabis in any manner. If not, the risk is very low. In this lecture Dr. Oh starts by showing single case reports, one after the other, without relevance to the general population, then goes on later and quickly and parenthetically states that for most people there is little risk. But he had already scared the daylights out of his audience. That was seemingly the purpose. Also - There is little to no clinical data on CBD interactions with liver enzymes and commonly prescribed medications - alarmism without data. The historic track record on cannabis has been rife with misleading statements and outright lies by institutional authorities, which led more than one generation to ignore professional advice, and believe that lies were told about other drugs. It is important to get it right.

I had a kidney transplant in 2015. The immune suppressant drugs, pro-graph and cellcept caused major sleep problems. Someone convinced me to try cannabis. I break up the buds on a cookie sheet, place in preheated 225 deg. oven for 10 minutes or so. I remove the cookie sheet cool, then grind in a spice grinder. I place a measured 1/4 level teaspoon or less on a tablespoon with peanut butter and eat it. In about an hour the first effects occur, then in two to three hours the full effect comes on. If I’m moving around it’s one thing, if I’m sitting or laying it’s much more powerful. I do this every night for sleep and it is highly effective. I wake up feeling rested and good. It definitely increase blood pressure but in the morning when I check my BP, it is typically 120 ish over 68 or 70. I just turned 70 on this Christmas Day. Here is where it gets interesting, I have regular comprehensive blood work and my blood work is excellent as evaluated by my Nephrologist. So from there I don’t know but I have no chest pains or unusual heart rhythm. I do not smoke it and use it as described, only about an hour before I go to bed.
Great video. This is why we need so much more research into cannabis. The applications are so wide ranging, it's just a very complex plant. Totally agree with stressing the whole "know what you're getting". Some people can only do indicas without negative side effects, some people can only do sativas. Some people tolerate THC well, some people don't. It's like any other drug. Even if a drug is safe for 99% of people, that 1% of people still need to avoid it.
OR IF a drug is safe for 0.0001% of people and 99% need to avoid it, then maybe you don't need to legalize it just like we don't legalize morphine for general use.
Had to use mild opiates for pain after surgery or accidents - stuff puts me into a trance for about 24 hours, but my sister swallows them like candy for chronic pain and it doesn’t bother her. My preferred drugs are water, chocolate and caffeine…
Correct, I personally prefer CBD because of my health conditions rather than the THC which gave me tachycardia, nausea and euforia. After starting CoQ10 and CBD I haven't gotten auras for a while now. So far so good 👍
@@ianchandley If yr sister swallows opiates like 🍬 candy without them "bothering" her she's built up a tolerance which is addiction. I'm NOT being judgemental bc I too live w/chronic pain & the effects of chronic pain emotionally, psychologically. I don't take controlled substances but , I understand her desire to be pain free or have less pain. However, at some point her opiate use/addiction may possibly become an additional problem, especially if she enjoys a "high" . I hope she can find an alternative to opiates especially if it's oxy anything, percs or fentanyl. BTW, I like yr preferred drugs, the water, caffeine & 🍫 chocolate (dark chocolate only) & I def 😋 indulge but they don't relieve any pain (lol) for me. Am considering going back to Acupuncture -- maybe you both can try it. Good luck & Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for clarity. I'm a lifelong smoker of cannabis, I'm 70. I had an "incident" recently after taking an edible. I was "uncomfortable" and remembered 8 years ago when I had an episode that could be ranked as a heart attack, but without a healthcare solution to make so much as a note (Obamacare was still in the future) I could not get the help I needed. Thank you for your caring lecture. It opened my eyes.
@@ClaireFrancePerezWonderer I heard there is an effective treatment for those who have been poisoned by the Covid-19 MRNA vaccine. It's called the Trinity - It is quite fitting. Best of luck also 2 in 5 vaccine shots were placebo
@@jerryhouck2237 I and multiple hundreds of millions of people have taken the vaccines for flu and covid multiple times. Better luck using facts next time. Poisoned? Your "word" is debunkable.
Interesting. As a Vietnam vet (drafted), I have PTSD. I got my Medical Marijuana Card here in Florida. Can you recommend something for depression and anxiety. I've never smoked so maybe I should try an edible.
What I can tell people from years of cannabis use myself is that it 100% causes rapid heart rate a lot of times and just because of that effect it can spark a major panic attack and it’s also a unique stimulant that differs than Amphetamines or caffeine etc which increases that mental stimulation and sparks a huge flow of thoughts and ideas which can lead to paranoia alongside anxiety with or without mental hallucinations not so much if at all visual hallucinations. It causes you to feel that time slows way down and music sounds extremely intense and your mind starts to see things in a different “light” so to speak. I have personally done legitimate psychedelics in the past and none of which ever gave me a “Bad trip” except for cannabis which is the only one ever to give me extremely horrible trips that were very uncomfortable. But that’s just me personally as far as a “bad trip” goes. The positives are euphoria and great focus on whatever you like doing along with appetite stimulation and relaxation/sleep for insomniacs. Relieves stress and makes you more talkative and causes laughter releasing dopamine and helps depression as well. It really does boil down to terpenes on how it affects your body chemistry 100% which I have proven for myself indefinitely.
@@sherrybirchall8677 I actually just read some stuff about cannabis binding to the 5ht1a receptor in the same fashion as lsd but overall effects will vary lol mescaline aka San Pedro or peyote is supposed to be the best of em all.
Terpene chemistry is quite varied, can be subtle but also quite overt.. I've only experienced anxiety from a few strains, when no other variety was available.. didn't realize til years later in reoccurrence with similar strains, i stay away from diesel strains now
This doctor is FANTASTIC !!! I JUST LEARNED SO MUCH and loved his personality. ❤ I have been exposed to Mariwana smokers since the early 70's ( I was born in 1963 ) and my brothers had a booming business growing it in our mothers garden. Police came often to get their share. I have never had any leisure time to actually sit down to relax so never had the opportunity to explore its effects. In 2012, I did smoke a few hits and became SO PARANOID AND DEPRESSED ABOUT EVERYTHING and mind you I was building my dream home and making 15 grand per month. I was suicidal and scared and was having palpitations and terrible chest pains and felt like I was having a myocardial infarction. Now I understand WHY I almost died. I will just stick to ice cream to relax. 😊
As a clinical pharmacologist with PTSD, I applaud this presentation. Honestly I have found that some strains can actually precipitate panic attacks rather than prevent them. Also I think the dearth of information on potential drug-drug interactions is particularly concerning, considering the high variability of the compounds between different strains and extraction methods.
Yah they screw us at Dispos to, we cant count on having terpene profiles we want, they dont list them and they grow so inconsistent and poorly they have to throw away hundreds of pounds. I want the legal right to grow my own based on my needs and not be playing roulette with new strains. The medical program runs like rec in disguise, meanwhile state just hounders growers over strain names and does nothing to meet actual medical needs.
I think people also need to realize it’s something you need to dose carefully. Just like taking 3 grams of mushrooms will make most people feel uneasy. But taking. A small only barely noticeable dose. They can get alot of benefit
Only reason it will do that is because "you gotta crawl before you walk" everyone who smokes remembers that first high...and panic only because you know you doing wrong and against the law!! Nothing to be concerned about....worry bout big pharma killing everyone!!
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" Hippocrates quote one of my favorites, we should all be responsible for ourselves and have that right to take charge of our own lives!
Cannabis became cardio toxic for me. Dr. said when symptoms started get to the hospital. If IV drugs didn't convert my heart rhythm I could be shocked. Took a couple close calls before I quit using cannabis. It will be my go to when my time's up.
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005, started medical cannabis in 2010 and have been symptom free since. I grow my own all natural, organic, probiotic grown cannabis. I eat it, I vape it, I apply it topically. I get it into me anyway I can. It has also saved me from a sever opiate addiction. Cannabis saved my life.
Just wish the gov would free the incarcerated that manufactured cannabis not for profit but to help the afflicted with their pain and pray for the souls who took their own lives because they weren’t allowed to use cannabis to alleviate or cure their affliction
I had a patient with MS and was treating her with Tysabri, she also started using THC, she actually developed schizophrenia and I had to discharger her off service.....
@@CrisusAttucks Are you suggesting that cannabis was the cause for her schizophrenia? And what do you mean discharge her off service of what? Wasn't Tysabri taken off the market by the manufacturer in 2019, due to reports of a rare but serious brain infection Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)? Could that have something to do with the onset of schizophrenia? I'm always a little skeptical of people who sub to FOX, OAN, Newsmax and The Rubin Report. It's not difficult to work out your political views.
ME TWO THANKS FOR YOUR TRUTH

I never smoked marijuana or had any form of it in my adult life and at age 55 , my Mother died of cancer in 2013 . Marijuana was the only herbal medicine that helped me through many difficult days. I used it at bedtime to help me relax and I worked full time as a nurse in the daytime with no side effects. I was calm at home and able to grieve without making me sick or crying constantly.
Are you still using marijuana till this day?

I stopped smoking cannabis over ten years ago. Wanting to be a positive role model in my children’s lives. I’m a disabled veteran and was dealing with the VA and their pharmaceutical medicines. Over a six month period I dropped a 65lbs and not by trying. Being rushed to the hospital three different times because I’d collapse due to lack of nutrition and being so badly dehydrated. Every test you could think of for a man in his 50’s. They found nothing. Actually my heart, blood pressure and bloodwork are immaculate. When I was not smoking cannabis I had high blood pressure. Found it extremely difficult to lose weight. I was always told my blood pressure was so bad I was looking at a stroke or heart attack. I think I’ll just stick to the natural plant. The past 30 years the medical field has really lost my respect
I stopped all pharma products cold turkey and use Marijuana religiously. It's natural, safe and actually works while not destroying my gut and other organs. Not to mention my brain.
WHAT KIND OF CANNABIS HELPED YOU LOSE WEIGHT? GUMMIES, LEAF, TINCTURE?
It's all about MONEY. Also, look at who is funding the research. Hmm, wonder if that has any effect on the outcomes/study results
You could over dose on pot then you’d really lose wieght
You can't overdose on pot!
I’m 51 and smoking weed since I was 14. After my first hit, I felt incredible. Never had paranoia. When my mom caught me in my teens, I told her it’ll be legal someday. Here we are!
Be glad you don't get the paranoia. My first 5 or 6 times were amazing...just phenomenal with absolutely no paranoia. I had never heard of weed causing paranoia at that time. But then unexpectedly after smoking a joint I thought I was having a heart attack and had all the typical paranoia reactions that everyone has heard of...and that was just some Mexican brick weed back in 2001. Ever since then I get a different high from weed. Unless I am smoking a ton of weed all the time where my tolerance is high, I've always had an unusually low tolerance for weed since then as well. Even if I take an extremely small single hit, and blow it out immediately, I will still get full fledged paranoia at times.
@@yearginclarke that's why I only smoke Indica. I have smoked weed for 56 years and I am 70 years old.
@@daciefusjones8128 Indica, Sativa or hybrid...it all gives me the same paranoia reactions. I think it has to do with your individual body chemistry and personality and mindset as well.
@Noah Wolf I believe I probably have something like ADHD or autism, but definitely not the hyperactive kind. I've always had attention problems since a young child and I still have them to this day, and it continues to negatively effect my life at age 36. I have a hard time adapting to new situations where I am forced to make things work in a new situation, I always forget something critical. I also have always had problems getting things backwards or mixed up with verbal instructions, if it's not fairly simple. In school I absolutely struggled with Math but I was decent at most other things not related to Math.
All that said, I don't know if I want to get properly diagnosed or try medication. I went through a brief phase in my younger life where I was doing crystal meth here and there (I know, very stupid) and I had a *_really_* bad reaction to it in one particular instance where I thought I was having a stroke/heart attack, felt like I was about to die any second. When I came out of it, felt like it caused some brain damage as well, but the hazy/cloudy brain fog I had for about a year afterward has thankfully passed. After that I can barely drink coffee or use any form of caffeine without getting a weird reaction to it that I never used to get. I don't even want to think about what other stimulant drugs would do.

Every physician needs to be more knowledgeable about this topic. Excellent talk. Thanks.
I found this guys “knowledge” lacking terrible ,I was injured in a big truck accident with severe whiplash . For 15 years I listened to my doctors ….took the morphine as prescribed ,did 5 different surgeries when they told me to . I was almost dead when Ohio allowed Medical Marijuana for certain diagnoses . I fit three of those .
Here I am 5 years later on oral cannabis for the most part and I’m thriving as long as I treat . I haven’t seen a doctor in 4.5 years and am currently planning my 120th birthday party in the year 2080 ,because that’s how well I’m doing .
Big pharma doesn't want them to be and so they won't let the government$ do so.
Lol every physician needs to relearn most of what they were "taught"
Its not working.
And the fact that physicians dont question why every other person have the same types of diseases and they just prescribe the same meds over and over is appalling.
Do Not Trust all Doctors... Most are into the profit side of Practice. I generally mistrust MDs. The last three primary cares were complete assholes. My 16 years in practice tells me a lot more than these punks did. >>>>>>>>>This Guy was GREAT.

A heart transplant doctor recommended I do edibles because over the counter pain relievers were effecting my kidneys. I did it and it helps to ease the pains I have.

A friend of mine with MS went from having to be in a wheelchair to not only not needing one but going out and dancing. All because of thc and CBD. It changed her life…so much so, she opened her own store which sells everything from creams, patches, etc.
One of my lifelong friends--who smoked weed daily for over 50 years, suddenly died from a heart attack last month--age 75....did the weed intake hasten his death?...it clearly did not help...so live and learn, I guess. Like many in my generation, I briefly used weed, but only in a social situation, not daily. And I stopped doing that after a couple of years. I have developed heart problems anyway, so no one can say if using that stuff is good or not. But I am glad I decided early on, to abstain, given my situation now.

Watching this presentation I felt he was speaking directly to me. Taking antidepressants and smoking cannabis ended up in ER, defibrillated, and airlifted to Toronto General for ablation. A few months later started on a Beta blocker, and HR dropped to 35 bpm. After Holter recommended for another Ablation but after watching this I think I found the real problem. Stopped cannabis and Beta-blocker a week ago and HR is back to normal and the best I have felt in years. Thank you, Dr Oh from the bottom and the top of my heart.

I live in Canada. I started taking CBD oil legally because I was diagnosed with severe arthritis and was waiting for knee surgery and hip surgery. In about 5 weeks the pain was gone, and I declined the surgeries. In addition my heel spurs stopped being an issue. My expensive cane is at my door as a reminder of where I was. The fact that this substance was made illegal for several decades is a travesty. Anyway I recommend it to all my medically challenged friends.
LOL cause big pharma can't control it and profit on it so like everyone else if they cant control it make it out to bad for you and illegal....nuff said

This is by far the best presentation I have seen on cannabis from a medical professional. I especially appreciated the information on THC & CBD interactions with other medications.

Thank you Dr. Oh for a non-judgmental, enjoyable and very informative talk.
I first smoked pot at 18. I'm now 70, and still smoke, though not as much as I used to. Very little alcohol. I've never had a cardiac episode nor do I know anyone that has experienced one related to pot. I had a good career as an RN for 27 years. That's where I got all my hemostats from. I use a pulse oximeter occasionally when I smoke. I've never had a drop or increase in heart rate, and my O2 levels never change. I also grow my own, so I know it's not adulterated. Happy trails.
I’ve worked in a few hospitals as a non medical but essential staff employee I’ve met so many nursing staff and even doctors and even surgeons both men and women who I’ve stumbled on while in their secret spot partying , so what does the medical community think of cannabis is obvious so break me off a piece of that Keif kat bar.

Outstanding presentation. I worry that, with the decline in the quality of our schools and lack of science teaching, people are not going to be persuaded by facts. The coverage of grapefruit's effect on medication build-up is gold. Every medical and pharm student should be required to view this presentation.
We all learn about Grapefruit and CYP450 action in 2nd year of Med school. It’s on every step 1 exam(of 3), as well as medical boards exam. It’s a basic pharmacology concept and we learn many others as well. We aren’t as dumb as the internet tries to portray us 😂
Facts are offensive.
Grapefruit. I didn't know they could inhibit medication. (Maybe that's offensive, too.)
Because I'm trying to escape anxiety - I don't tend to panic myself with prescription medication small print. I trust it to either be obvious or for the warning to be explicit. Nobody told me about grapefruit (which, JustMe, I think actually blocks the liver's ability to convert excess drug into something that can be excreted... I think, this means, grapefruit means there's much more of the active compound in our blood stream) and I found out the hard way. Now, I avoid anything acidic around the time of my medication (SSRI and hypertension). Even a tomato seems to bring the meds back up (in the most dramatic fashion possible).
I was not aware, however, that cannabis behaves like grapefruit. I have a lot to think about.
Grapefruit is discouraged by Dr. It will react with my medications. (Sad emoji)
@@TraceurDoc1 Thank you for that clarification. (I have never believed Med students are dumb. Ever!) I should have said "every pharmacy executive" should be required to see this presentation, because Walmart has never put the grapefruit warning on a med I take. The way I found out is that Walgreens DID put the warning on. I had suffered side effects when I unknowingly went on a grapefruit binge. I mentioned this to a Walmart pharmacist and even sent a note to their corporate office--to no avail. They never did mark the medication, at least, not the one I take.
After 24 yrs in U.S. Marine Corps, had 14 spinal surgeries, left knee & right ankle rebuilt.
I’ve been using cannabis for pain management for over 5 years.
I buy several strains based on their terpene profiles and what the different terpenes do for me.
Then I mix the strains to come up with a blend that handles the symptoms I live with.
I keep a journal of what blends of terpenes/ cannabis and quantities used in the blends that I need .
i.e.
Back spasms-Mercene
Anti inflammation-Caryophyllene
Etc….
Mixing strain’s works awesome, I use a coffee grinder to mix my blends Save the Keif it’s the original concentrate!

Marijuana can aid in effective weight loss, rather than contribute to it. Despite the popular notion of “the munchies”
BP = blood pressure im guessing?
They did a study in Canada that said the THC tunes down the carcinogens that causes cancer in the smoke. While it gives you the munchies it spends up the breakdowns of sugars in your stomach. This plant is truly a miracle and when you sit down and study you see how this plant can change the world.

@Mathias psychotic episodes I’ve been smoking for almost 40 years and I’ve never seen a psychotic episode there’s no record of it causes anything but people not knowing how to deal with what their feeling don’t understand how to deal with what they’re feeling or taking something else with ir
Yes and what's sad is that there are countless plants like this (not to smoke lol) that are being suppressed bc they could upend the entire pharmaceutical industry and also greatly affect the healthcare and weight loss industries, some of the largest industries in our country
@Mathias you are actually wrong. It does not CAUSE those episodes. I know me and my brother deal with this as we smoke every day. It is an exasserbant meaning it just exaggerates what already is. So if you are already super anxious you could smoke and then make it 10× worse but you can also use it to supress the anxiety. It's mental and that part always gets left out. That's the problem with medicine today is that it's always looked at thru a very narrow scope when there are countless things that effect everything and that never gets taken into account
@Mathias did you get vaxxxed?

I was a pothead for many years before it was legalized for medical use. I hadn't smoked for about 25 years. When anti inflammatory meds quit working, I got a medical card and found a dispensary. The employees spend a great deal of time answering your questions to assure you find the best product for your needs. I have tried CBD in the past with little result, but these are far superior products. I take gummies, but I also do the buds. Not all day or everyday. But it helps me deal with my hip and knee pain, and since I knew what Indica and Sativa, thanks to the staff, I was able to try several different strands in joint form, and see which I preferred. They always address my concerns and answer my questions.
So happy doctors are finally getting educated in the field of Cannabis. I want to encourage all Healthcare professionals to be careful casting judgment on people who choose to use this as part of their lifestyle or healthcare options. The pros vs the cons must be weighed, which I did not see presented in this excellent article.
We have to undo 70 years of reefer madness and the rest of the twisted government disinformation campaign. Big pharma are the main lobbyists pushing against legalization here in the states. A doctor friend told me they fear it displacing their top five revenue producing medications.

Excellent and informative video. I'd love to see it's reach exceed 2.5M views because the specific medications he mentioned that have adverse or build-up effect in the body when mixed with CBDs are extremely common. We're all familiar with the warnings about eating/drinking too much grapefruit but many doctors don't even know to warn against the mixing of CBDs and certain prescription medications. It's also invaluable to know that marijuana has been "Frankensteined" into a substance dangerously more potent.
As of sept 23 it has exceeded 3.2 million views!,
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been a cannabis user and tobacco smoker for many years. I tried and failed to give up the tobacco many, many times. I never wanted to give up the cannabis because, since menopause, I’ve relied on it to help with stress and serious sleep problems. Eventually, I found CBD capsules, which I take at night and I have now been smoke-free for 9 weeks BUT… I also take Amlodipine and Amitriptyline for BP and migraine. Your segment on CBD interaction with these medications has given me pause for thought! Thank you for the education 😊
This is just kind of interesting: My sister in law said that when she had migraines, my Mom would relentlessly massage the top of the big toe, reflecting the brain meridians.

I've been struggling with cptsd, among other things, one day recently, I took an edible, and I was able to see "outside" of myself and the harm drinking was doing. Since then, the euphoric joy that begins with the first drink, is gone. I'm drinking 1\3 less than I have in decades, and I'm glad.
Good deal! CPTSD here too and it helped me quit drinking completely (and to quit smoking years before). I started meditating much more regularly... at least daily). Takes care of my insomnia (just do indica almost exclusively in the evening). It didn't get rid of the cptsd, but it certainly helps to manage it.
God bless you! Had to comment re the CPTSD and drinking. I have CPTSD although they just called it PTSD when I was diagnosed. I have not had a drink in 20 years. The weed replaced that long before medical was legal. It actually saved me, I was starting to show liver damage from drinking. They said if I quit it would lessen or even go away completely. My liver functions are normal and there is no sign of cirrhosis. Keep at it, you can do it!!!
@@Kepi_Kei Everyone with CPTSD should get medical cannabis & an emotional support dog! 🙂
You should look into MDMA and psychedelics. Lots research being done and data is looking very promising. Some people showing long term disappearance of PTSD symptoms after a few sessions as opposed to chronic use of weed.
@@nickx4475 Yeah... ketamine clinics are popping up where I am.
Also, many people with PTSD/CPTSD find relief with cannabis. Just (preferably) stay away from alcohol.
Hey CRAC.
I STARTED SMOKING pot in Vietnam, 1968, never stopped smokin' and driving big rigs Professionally for 40 years. Got caught up in a random "P in a cup" in 2016. And that was the first time I ever got terminated from any of my full time trucking jobs. I went on to drive until 2018- then was forced to retire because I failed a newly DOT mandated "whisper" test on my every two year physical.
I'm 74, I take no prescribed drugs, have no physical issues. I MANAGED to survive the roads to hell and back with about 3.75 million accident free miles. I really think because I always smoked cigarettes and reefer, as a double trouble smoker, I early on worried about my lungs. Wierdest thing is my lungs always stayed clear. I finally figured out that the marijuana, is a very good expectorant and it was the* cough* that expelled the cigarette gunk. Also with the marijuana smoke I always took a deep hit..pulled the smoke down into my big toes!! HOLD IT...... ok, exhale..great lung exercise. Funny that you know a lot about what you're talking about ,but my history of my first twenty years of doing my own personal research is written in my bio. Wrote in 1988 &'89.,its titled Marijuana; one mans mystique ,another mans truth. Author is Maxon Roads, and the book is in all online bookstores/Amazon, etc.
i have to agree, weed when inhaled with an overly powered toke can cause coughing, thus one may experience a (clearing) of the lungs on a frequent basis, so i feel as though smoking may actually be good for your lungs as mine are 63 and near perfect as well ? i have never even seen any lung problem signs.
Great that you've shared your truth/story in a book that will help others! God bless you for your service driving truck all those years - glad you are still with us brother!!!
I smoked weed for 20 years. Stopped cold turkey 3 months ago. It was ruining my life, physically, professionally and mentally. My lungs, and heart, are thanking me.
What was wrong with your heart
Yes TRUTH thank you. Weed ruins you that is why governments are legalllizing it. Do people think governments care about the people. THEY DO NOT. They are sedating the people, making them dependant and then when the "hit" is no longer available people who need it will go nuts, all their problems come back and they will kill to get relief and kill for a "hit".
Praise God you got free.

@@M.J.Lyman1776 NO, I have had a lung collapse due to holes in the top of my lungs maybe my whole life, I smoked pot heavily back then and my pictures of my lung, it was pink as can be, so you are wrong

How do u know that this report isn't government funded ??
After 38 yrs of opiates, my Doctors pushed me to get my MMJ card. WOW, WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!!
Using it for about six months now. My anxiety and depression has decreased exponentially. Only use a couple of puffs before going to bed.

Had a surgery with a very long and painful recovery a few years ago. Doctors prescribed hydromorphone, and promptly scared me out of using it with a lecture about how it kills people. OTC painkillers did nothing for me. I tried a dose of hydromorphone. Nothing. I could try taking more, but after the scare talk, I ruled that out. In desperation I tried vaping cannabis, and it probably saved my life. It got me through the worst of the pain and associated misery, allowed me to sleep, and the only side effects were a fresh appreciation of music and humor, and an occasional craving for sour cream and bacon chips. Over two years later and still not fully recovered, but cannabis is still a daily part of my life, mostly right before bed. I sleep better than I ever have, and my heart and lungs ace every test my doctor puts me through.
Dilaudid is pretty nice though.
I used to grind my teeth while I slept until I started vaping before going to bed. Now I haven't broken a tooth in years and I wake up in the morning with no tension headaches most days.
"appreciation of music and humor, and an occasional craving for sour cream and bacon chips." You should sell that line to advertising companies!!

You have to be careful too much of the wrong type of pot can give you a major anxiety attack… if you ever feel an anxiety attack coming on

This is an excellent presentation and in considering use of CBD I have discovered through the information in this video that it could very well cause problems with my current medications. I'm grateful for this information.
I'm going to talk to my cardiologist and pharmacist about how CBD may affect my medications.
@@leonardodalongisland .... your cardiologist won't know anything. Your pharmacist may.
@@cathithomas2888 Thanks but why do you say that?
That's why not only I don't take any medications prescribed by doctors but don't go to doctors at all.
@Ms Bliss Problem is, some of the pharma actually works for what it's for. Best thing is to do the homework and find out what some doctor might be putting you on... like statins when you don't actually have high cholesterol. You always have to assume responsibility for your own health care, it's your ass on the line so why wouldn't you?
Excellent, very thoughtful video and very well explained.

Fantastic and brave session. We've advanced since the date that this exposé was put out and CBD has changed thousands of peoples' lives. Charlotte's web is one phenomenon and what it has done for children. Unfortunately, legislators have pharmaceutical company interests in lieu of public interests. Congratulations for the session.
To me as RN, this is for the layperson as well as medical professionals. Interesting correlation with heart issues. Check with, if not prescribed, with your MD
@@aircavmedic I have been involved with the Health field for over 30 years. It is very irresponsible to go against your doctor's recommendations and I have always recommended that the patient ask their doctor for a prescription which happens in 1 out of 4 cases and results have been just short of miraculous in every case. Unfortunately, those cases don't have a voice and Doctor's don't talk about them so as to not upset their faculty. And of course we understand big Pharma's role and that of politicians in all of this.
My worst weed experiences of my life have involved Charlottes Web! Not smoking it. Smoking it is completely pointless. But injesting too much of it has been horrible for me. Everone is different

I suffer from chronic pain and anxiety after loosing my husband and toddler to a drunk deacon, marijuana keeps me healthy painless and aware of my surroundings. Opioids were prescribed, but as soon as I left the hospital and long therapy I took myself of the chems!
Best decision ever!
i started using cannabis at age 13. I'm now 73 yrs old.. Still using cannabis and, as yet, there's no sign of heart stress..
Snake venom is natural too. 25 year vet of the Industry here. As hard of a smoker as they come. Had my first heart attack at 30 and 4 since. The truth is the doc is right. I myself need no study to show me otherwise..10 years down the road. 17 stents over a decade has given me the clarity needed to reject my denial. It has nearly killed me 5 times now. In excess, some of u young people will experience the same and will have no answers as to why. The doc explains it here with his example of a 35 yo. Same thing happened to me and dont care to say it. Doc, complete your study asap on the negative effects. You are heading in the right direction. No matter the varietal aside pure cbd. Same effect for me. Racing skipping heart on the brink of attack...sheer dread. Common now after so much damage done. Ive now lost 35% of my function. Again long time advocate here and now im flipping on it because im honest to myself. Dont let the culture blind you. I hope this saves someones life one day
Prof Oh is a expert on how drugs like cannabis works on the body. He is very good at public speaking on a subject that is controversial.
Are there any other talks by him which you could recommend?
I got about ax far as when he said leaf wont get you high. Yes they will get you high if he got that wrong what else did he get wrong.
So, natural medicine and modern medicine doesn't play nice with each other. Thank you Dr. Oh for an excellent presentation that will undoubtedly save lives.
This could be entered into a record book as the largest jump to a conclusion that’s ever been made.
I totally understand this but they need to also to do a video on how the effects of medications negatively harm people as well as well as causing addictions.
Please note that all the cautions you are listing for cannabis apply equally to all pharmceuticals as well. They work for some and not for others, they need to be individually titrated (and often are not), and they have interactions with other drugs or foods, and can have detrimental side effects .
How many millions of people smoke Cannabis responsibly and do not get heart issues?
How many millions of people have smoked Cannabis responsibly since time began and did not get heart problems ?
How many people in this study were unfit, had a poor diet and were Vit D, Magnesium, Potassium and Zinc deficient?
Probably none, they probably just smoke a way better strain, or a specific medical strain that isn't for them.
Yes - this lecture was alarmist. If you have heart disease, do not consume cannabis in any manner. If not, the risk is very low. In this lecture Dr. Oh starts by showing single case reports, one after the other, without relevance to the general population, then goes on later and quickly and parenthetically states that for most people there is little risk. But he had already scared the daylights out of his audience. That was seemingly the purpose. Also - There is little to no clinical data on CBD interactions with liver enzymes and commonly prescribed medications - alarmism without data. The historic track record on cannabis has been rife with misleading statements and outright lies by institutional authorities, which led more than one generation to ignore professional advice, and believe that lies were told about other drugs. It is important to get it right.

@@protonman8947 So true, just another actor paid to sell drugs.
I had a kidney transplant in 2015. The immune suppressant drugs, pro-graph and cellcept caused major sleep problems. Someone convinced me to try cannabis. I break up the buds on a cookie sheet, place in preheated 225 deg. oven for 10 minutes or so. I remove the cookie sheet cool, then grind in a spice grinder. I place a measured 1/4 level teaspoon or less on a tablespoon with peanut butter and eat it. In about an hour the first effects occur, then in two to three hours the full effect comes on. If I’m moving around it’s one thing, if I’m sitting or laying it’s much more powerful. I do this every night for sleep and it is highly effective. I wake up feeling rested and good. It definitely increase blood pressure but in the morning when I check my BP, it is typically 120 ish over 68 or 70. I just turned 70 on this Christmas Day. Here is where it gets interesting, I have regular comprehensive blood work and my blood work is excellent as evaluated by my Nephrologist. So from there I don’t know but I have no chest pains or unusual heart rhythm. I do not smoke it and use it as described, only about an hour before I go to bed.
Great video. This is why we need so much more research into cannabis. The applications are so wide ranging, it's just a very complex plant. Totally agree with stressing the whole "know what you're getting". Some people can only do indicas without negative side effects, some people can only do sativas. Some people tolerate THC well, some people don't. It's like any other drug. Even if a drug is safe for 99% of people, that 1% of people still need to avoid it.
I've experienced some dispensary strains that actually felt more toxic than therapeutic...hate it when that happens
OR IF a drug is safe for 0.0001% of people and 99% need to avoid it, then maybe you don't need to legalize it just like we don't legalize morphine for general use.
Had to use mild opiates for pain after surgery or accidents - stuff puts me into a trance for about 24 hours, but my sister swallows them like candy for chronic pain and it doesn’t bother her.
My preferred drugs are water, chocolate and caffeine…
Correct, I personally prefer CBD because of my health conditions rather than the THC which gave me tachycardia, nausea and euforia. After starting CoQ10 and CBD I haven't gotten auras for a while now. So far so good 👍
@@ianchandley If yr sister swallows opiates like 🍬 candy without them "bothering" her she's built up a tolerance which is addiction. I'm NOT being judgemental bc I too live w/chronic pain & the effects of chronic pain emotionally, psychologically. I don't take controlled substances but , I understand her desire to be pain free or have less pain. However, at some point her opiate use/addiction may possibly become an additional problem, especially if she enjoys a "high" . I hope she can find an alternative to opiates especially if it's oxy anything, percs or fentanyl. BTW, I like yr preferred drugs, the water, caffeine & 🍫 chocolate (dark chocolate only) & I def 😋 indulge but they don't relieve any pain (lol) for me. Am considering going back to Acupuncture -- maybe you both can try it. Good luck & Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for clarity. I'm a lifelong smoker of cannabis, I'm 70. I had an "incident" recently after taking an edible. I was "uncomfortable" and remembered 8 years ago when I had an episode that could be ranked as a heart attack, but without a healthcare solution to make so much as a note (Obamacare was still in the future) I could not get the help I needed.

Interesting. As a Vietnam vet (drafted), I have PTSD. I got my Medical Marijuana Card here in Florida. Can you recommend something for depression and anxiety. I've never smoked so maybe I should try an edible.
What I can tell people from years of cannabis use myself is that it 100% causes rapid heart rate a lot of times and just because of that effect it can spark a major panic attack and it’s also a unique stimulant that differs than Amphetamines or caffeine etc which increases that mental stimulation and sparks a huge flow of thoughts and ideas which can lead to paranoia alongside anxiety with or without mental hallucinations not so much if at all visual hallucinations. It causes you to feel that time slows way down and music sounds extremely intense and your mind starts to see things in a different “light” so to speak. I have personally done legitimate psychedelics in the past and none of which ever gave me a “Bad trip” except for cannabis which is the only one ever to give me extremely horrible trips that were very uncomfortable. But that’s just me personally as far as a “bad trip” goes. The positives are euphoria and great focus on whatever you like doing along with appetite stimulation and relaxation/sleep for insomniacs. Relieves stress and makes you more talkative and causes laughter releasing dopamine and helps depression as well. It really does boil down to terpenes on how it affects your body chemistry 100% which I have proven for myself indefinitely.
I had the same negative experiences with pot. Meanwhile, the acid trips (2, in total) were beautiful, and I remember them to this day.
@@sherrybirchall8677 I actually just read some stuff about cannabis binding to the 5ht1a receptor in the same fashion as lsd but overall effects will vary lol mescaline aka San Pedro or peyote is supposed to be the best of em all.

This doctor is FANTASTIC !!! I JUST LEARNED SO MUCH and loved his personality. ❤ I have been exposed to Mariwana smokers since the early 70's ( I was born in 1963 ) and my brothers had a booming business growing it in our mothers garden. Police came often to get their share. I have never had any leisure time to actually sit down to relax so never had the opportunity to explore its effects. In 2012, I did smoke a few hits and became SO PARANOID AND DEPRESSED ABOUT EVERYTHING and mind you I was building my dream home and making 15 grand per month. I was suicidal and scared and was having palpitations and terrible chest pains and felt like I was having a myocardial infarction. Now I understand WHY I almost died. I will just stick to ice cream to relax. 😊
I learned so much at a level of a Master Science..
HE'S AN IDEOT
My friend, all you learned from this so called professional is BULLSHIT
As a clinical pharmacologist with PTSD, I applaud this presentation. Honestly I have found that some strains can actually precipitate panic attacks rather than prevent them. Also I think the dearth of information on potential drug-drug interactions is particularly concerning, considering the high variability of the compounds between different strains and extraction methods.
Yah they screw us at Dispos to, we cant count on having terpene profiles we want, they dont list them and they grow so inconsistent and poorly they have to throw away hundreds of pounds. I want the legal right to grow my own based on my needs and not be playing roulette with new strains. The medical program runs like rec in disguise, meanwhile state just hounders growers over strain names and does nothing to meet actual medical needs.
I think people also need to realize it’s something you need to dose carefully. Just like taking 3 grams of mushrooms will make most people feel uneasy. But taking. A small only barely noticeable dose. They can get alot of benefit
Sounds like they are smoking the fake pot!!!!
Only reason it will do that is because "you gotta crawl before you walk" everyone who smokes remembers that first high...and panic only because you know you doing wrong and against the law!! Nothing to be concerned about....worry bout big pharma killing everyone!!
The biggest problem with cannabis is the stress from it beeing illegal.
You’re right that will give you a heart attack Ha Hah Hah
