Cannabis and the Heart- Getting into and out of the Weeds. Dr. Oh discusses the different components of cannabis, and what the effects are on the heart.
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.
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 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
@@paintedwarrior516 Cannabinoid deficiency is probably the biggest health crisis waiting to happen . Prohibition should be eradicated , you are right that they are pushing the jab . They should be legalizing Cannabis .
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’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.
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 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
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.

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.
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
wtf is aerobic bicycling by the way , cycling wi no bike ? , ah will , say riding ma bike stoned is groovy baby , good job gettin of the bad stuff mate though , aye !
I'm Dutch. I worked in Coffeeshops, I smoked in Coffeeshops. I Started smoking all kinds of Cannabis and Hasisch at the Age of 14. Each Day, Day in Day out. I continued that habit till approx 45 Years old. At 50 years old I had a major Heart Attack! The doctors brought me back like 3 times in the helicopter... the tobacco along with weed caused major damage in my body. For children it has negative influence on brain developing. I dropped school because of that. Believe me. My best smoking buddy from the old days still smokes afer 45 years, he has a pacemaker implemented now. What do I want to say here? Just do not consume too much! Some day it will take you down.
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.

Been smoking all my life. I do not need anyone telling me what it is or what it does. I know it is the most awesome plant our dear God provided fir us. Fear not. It is the quality of your journey not the length. Stay alert alert, educate yourself. Live and love within your means. My motto.
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.
I lost my long-term partner 8 years ago, leaving my spirit and heart utterly broken. I started vaping weed and it has kept me alive, kept me from killing myself. Thank you, Mary Jane. My heart is still broken but I am still here. Update: it is now 8-27-23 and I am retired. I was having chest pain and high BP so I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine, and stopped using weed three months ago. I am doing much better! The weed was great while I needed it but now I don't. We all do what we need to do to get through the dark times. Thanks for the nice messages. Bless y'all. Stay well.
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.
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 TH-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
Chronic Pain Suffer since I was 19. Almost weened off my opiates using Cannabis. Didn't try Cannabis till I was 30, it has changed my life with pain and ADHD.
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.
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 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
Just a note: Our beautiful, big dog was 10 years old when we found his hips were faulty and he suffered much pain. My daughter had been given a gift of brownies from a young man who was allowed to grow his own 4 plants. She had a new baby and did not want to be inattentive or sleep too soundly. We gave the dog a tiny smidgeon of the brownie one night. He slept like the proverbial rock. EVERY night for the rest of his life, at 5 o’clock he sat under the brownie cupboard, begging us in his (talking)voice until he was given his smidgeon of brownie.
amazing! but probably better to choose a non chocolate based THC treat (in case others read this). chocolate is poison to dogs and brownies are made with cocoa aka chocolate.
One other thing for dogs hips is Red Krill Oil. It allows my 12 year old dog to walk and do all kinds of things. The Krill Oil makes a tremendous difference in my life too.
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.
I know a runner who smokes cannabis daily. Went for his 40+ health check. Was told he had one of the healthiest circulatory systems they had seen for his age.
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 .
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!
The CBD being a blocker/inhibitor in certain biochemical processes within the liver in regards to different drugs👏🏾👌🏾. The research is becoming prominent in the cannabis field of study. This was a great watch!
@JulieBishop Like I said, my experience has been just the opposite of what you describe. Any effects have worn off by morning and REM sleep. Where are your "Dream pores"?
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.
I broke my back at 18, developed and diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a painful arthritic condition. I was taking tramadol and arcoxia for 10 years. Tramadol is an opiate based painkiller. I lost weight (I was around 62kg!), was constantly ill, couldn't eat, skin was grey and cracking, I was in trouble. I started smoking cannabis, a joint a day, mid evening after work and my workout. Fast forward to where I am now, I run, climb, I train grappling 3-4 times a week, I am 92kg and I can launch a man across the room with no back pain..... EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT
@@richdollabill305 ha. It is worth pointing out that this was over a ten year period with a lot of physio, spine specialists, swimming, stretching etc but no white stuff!
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.

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.
I can't afford some of these products, but, I use THC to sleep. I came out of a horrible childhood, I have stomach issues so don't drink alcohol, and then I had a vehicle accident and got quite a head injury, and I have Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, plus other things like Hemachromatosis, Emphysema, etc so I consider THC a gift from God! For some reason I can tolerate a lot of pain, but, lack of sleep can turn me into a different not very nce person! Now, I sleep well and everyone loves me again! I am SO grateful for THC...so grateful. I'm 66 so don't really want to think too much about long term effects 😏
I'm 43. Born and living in Holland. Smoking weed since im 19. Playing football (soccer) since im 9. Exactly 34 years now! Still going like a machine at midfield on sunday's!! 😊
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 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.
I do not CARE what the physical effects of weed are at all. I'm 60 and have been medicating myself for 45 of those. I'm a highly educated retired environmental professional who had a stellar career, ALL due to marijuana. As an abused infant and child my will and spirit were completely broken by the age of 8, and by 11 I had a pistol to my little head. I remember exactly where I was in 1975 when I first tried it, and it was life-changing. I seldom use it for "fun", it has ALWAYS been, long before the first dispensary, medicine for me, serious, life-saving medicine. I accomplished things in my career that will never be done again. I've stood in the face of militant youth, abusive cops, and violent bikers looking to do harm, I've juggled multimillion dollar projects on 2 continents, raised a family, and tried to stay benevolent and connected, ALL because of marijuana. I'm alive and my kids are here because of weed, I WILL NEVER regret using it as Creator always intended. It is literally a life saver for me and millions of CPTSD and PTSD sufferers. Where the myriad of big pharma meds failed, especially after I was shot during Katrina rescue, weed again came to my rescue. It is my friend and my savior to this point and to hell with ANYone who derides it solely out of their own stupidity and ignorance.
I am 54 and never smoked pot until I was waiting on my second spinal surgery. I've had cancer, 3 spinal surgeries, including spinal fusion. I live in dreadful pain. I started using delta8 gummies for pain. I'm not on a load of pain medicine. I know it sounds bad, but I am just trying to live w chronic pain
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
"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!
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.
Regardless of what anyone says it does effect everyone differently. I work with many young kids who smoke and act like brain dead zombies, and some can function well. Me personally as I’ve gotten older it does made my mind wonder and often take me to dark places, sometimes it takes me to great places.it’s all about controlling those negative thoughts. I’ve smoked for 40 years and I can promise it’s not healthy for you, it does help people cope with certain conditions but I know 100% it has lead to some heart rhythm/racing problems I’ve developed. As mentioned in the video I believe it affects the whole circulatory system in various ways, also effects the nervous system. I always twitch much more when I’ve smoked. So I’m ready to quit after 40 years, can’t smoke forever….
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remember to focus on what you enjoy. When you are enveloped with a task is when your focus cannot be broken, which from a personal standpoint is what I smoke these days for. My PTSD in the form of flashbacks does not occur when I am glued to the task I have prepared for myself. Good health to you.
This just good information for the general public on cannabis. He does a good job at noting all of it before heading into the study. Which I am so glad he does.
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.
I take, synthroid,metformin, lisinipril, Apixaban,cardezem, singulair, Lipitor, albuterol, potassium,magnesium, and calcium. 4 yrs ago I stopped Tramadol (20yrs) and Ambien(15yrs) and use med cannabis, Afib has calmed down intermittent episodes, sleep well, chronic pain has went from moderate/severe to mild. My daily life has improved! Went from 23 hrs a day on my back to being able to drive again and limited walking with rollator. I could not set up in a chair for more than 5-10 minutes, now no problems for 5-6 hours. Occasionally take a Tylenol but that’s it. Retirement is improving!😃
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.

HE WANTS TO MURDER OLD PEOPLE.
I am 62 and I have smoked weed since 1969. My doctor says I have clear lungs a very healthy heart like that of a 20 year old. I don’t do any other drugs . I don’t take pain pills even after being in a accident involving a crane in which I fell 92 feet and cracked my neck in 3 places broke my chest bone and shattered my ankle. I was not smoking due I couldn’t due to my job but one month after my accident I started smoking again to relieve the pain did a very good job at it and I still smoked this day to control the pain but I have never had any incidents until I vaped a couple of years ago and my heart rate went sky high .After that I never vaped again .I stick to just smoking to relieve myself of pain.Thank god for marijuana.
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
@@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!
In 2021, I went to Colorado to visit some family but stayed at a hotel my first night in town. Instead of waiting until I met up with family and had them instruct me on proper cannabis use, I decided to go directly to a dispensery and try some in my hotel room. I vaped fresh flower in a handheld vaporizer. I had smoked Cannabis when I was 14 but of course was ignorant of anything about it. I took 2 or 3 small hits from a tiny, miniscule amount of green leaves in a dry herb vaporizer. Then, sat down to have some dinner in my room. 30min later it hit me like a ton of bricks and I almost blacked out, lol. I layed down on the bed and didn't get up until the morning. Later, I learned the cannabis I bought was 30%!!! The amount I inhaled would have been around 40-50mg of THC, and I had no tolerance at all. A normal dose for first time user should have been about 5-10mg. Needless to say it was a very unpleasant experience and I didnt use cannabis again for several weeks even though I had full availability to it in Colorado. It's really important to talk with someone or do online research to understand the proper dosages. I thought I was starting with a tiny amount and didnt realize how potent it was. Since then I've experimented a lot and found the strains and dosage levels that work best for me. I prefer straight Sativa using a Live Resin vape. The Sativa doesnt affect my short term memory as much and the Live Resin extraction process makes the end product taste terrific instead of some weird chemical taste. Edibles take too long to activate and the affects are harder to control since the level of highness can be hampered or helped by the food in your gut. With vaping you feel the effects within 20min and if they begin wearing off you can just do one more hit to keep the buzz going. You have full control of when you want to get off the train. With edibles you're on that rollercoaster until the very end whether you like it or not. And if the high isnt as intense as you wanted you cant eat anymore because you might accidentally take too much and only find out 2hrs later when it hits hard.
I can count on 1 hand the times I've gone 12+hours without smoking since 16. I own a business, work outside everyday, workout every day afterbwork, fish and scuba dive and occasionally free dive...snowboard when I get to the Westcoast... I'm 34 and have 9-11 percent body fat, six pack year round and can run a mile in less than 6 minutes.
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.
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
Hey get it anyway you can but if you get a medical license kiss goodbye to gun ownership
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?
Calling it cannabis will destroy your reputation for sure, slavetrash
Marijuana kept me from committing su!cide.

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.

I wish they would focus this much on talking about the effects from pharmaceuticals like pain meds, antidepressants, stimulants and so forth.
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
they cant because pharmaceuticals are poison that kill you slowly
That would mess with the funding to do these anti cannabis lectures, they couldn't have that.

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!

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.
He should start his learning buy smoking a joint lol.
Wow your story is identical to mine would you belive that
How do you you ingest it and is eating it an option?
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!
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.
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
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. But weed has always given me paranoid reactions long before I was doing meth, and afterward nothing changed at all.

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.

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.

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
Marijuana helped me to avoid wheelchair time!

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.
Your problem is not weed.. 35 bpm ) Are you actually alive )
35bpm? I'm on beta blockers and 35bpm is a little too low
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.

Marijuana can aid in effective weight loss, rather than contribute to it. Despite the popular notion of “the munchies”
BP = blood pressure im guessing?
I'm Dutch. I worked in Coffeeshops, I smoked in Coffeeshops. I Started smoking all kinds of Cannabis and Hasisch at the Age of 14. Each Day, Day in Day out. I continued that habit till approx 45 Years old. At 50 years old I had a major Heart Attack! The doctors brought me back like 3 times in the helicopter... the tobacco along with weed caused major damage in my body. For children it has negative influence on brain developing. I dropped school because of that. Believe me. My best smoking buddy from the old days still smokes afer 45 years, he has a pacemaker implemented now. What do I want to say here?

I think I will be continuing my CBD treatment. I was just given CBD products from Weedborn and I feel so much better these days : D
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.
can you tell about your ankle rebuilt. I have to have reconstructive surgery and kinda scared too with all the pins they have to put in my ankle

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.

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.
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 TH-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
@Mathias did you get vaxxxed?

Chronic Pain Suffer since I was 19. Almost weened off my opiates using Cannabis. Didn't try Cannabis till I was 30, it has changed my life with pain and ADHD.
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.
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.

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

If our government really cared about our health and well-being, things like cannabis research would not be illegal.
Just a note: Our beautiful, big dog was 10 years old when we found his hips were faulty and he suffered much pain. My daughter had been given a gift of brownies from a young man who was allowed to grow his own 4 plants. She had a new baby and did not want to be inattentive or sleep too soundly. We gave the dog a tiny smidgeon of the brownie one night. He slept like the proverbial rock. EVERY night for the rest of his life, at 5 o’clock he sat under the brownie cupboard, begging us in his (talking)voice until he was given his smidgeon of brownie.
amazing! but probably better to choose a non chocolate based THC treat (in case others read this). chocolate is poison to dogs and brownies are made with cocoa aka chocolate.
Did it help him?
One other thing for dogs hips is Red Krill Oil. It allows my 12 year old dog to walk and do all kinds of things. The Krill Oil makes a tremendous difference in my life too.
The healing of the planet.
On so many levels.
But as with everything:

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.

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 .

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.
Thank you for the info. More info than I was ever given before.
Excellent, very thoughtful video and very well explained.
I broke my back at 18, developed and diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a painful arthritic condition. I was taking tramadol and arcoxia for 10 years. Tramadol is an opiate based painkiller.

As an abused infant and child my will and spirit were completely broken by the age of 8, and by 11 I had a pistol to my little head. I remember exactly where I was in 1975 when I first tried it, and it was life-changing. I seldom use it for "fun", it has ALWAYS been, long before the first dispensary, medicine for me, serious, life-saving medicine. I accomplished things in my career that will never be done again. I've stood in the face of militant youth, abusive cops, and violent bikers looking to do harm, I've juggled multimillion dollar projects on 2 continents, raised a family, and tried to stay benevolent and connected, ALL because of marijuana. I'm alive and my kids are here because of weed, I WILL NEVER regret using it as Creator always intended. It is literally a life saver for me and millions of CPTSD and PTSD sufferers. Where the myriad of big pharma meds failed, especially after I was shot during Katrina rescue, weed again came to my rescue. It is my friend and my savior to this point and to hell with ANYone who derides it solely out of their own stupidity and ignorance.

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.

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.
I don't know about the effects on the heart but I know for sure it opens up your eyes to the beauty of nature
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..
Regardless of what anyone says it does effect everyone differently. I work with many young kids who smoke and act like brain dead zombies, and some can function well. Me personally as I’ve gotten older it does made my mind wonder and often take me to dark places, sometimes it takes me to great places.it’s all about controlling those negative thoughts. I’ve smoked for 40 years and I can promise it’s not healthy for you, it does help people cope with certain conditions but I know 100% it has lead to some heart rhythm/racing problems I’ve developed. As mentioned in the video I believe it affects the whole circulatory system in various ways, also effects the nervous system. I always twitch much more when I’ve smoked. So I’m ready to quit after 40 years, can’t smoke forever….
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.
DR. Oh is an amazing presenter. Tell a story while introducing the chapters that you are going to cover. Excellent.
Dr. Oh seems to b full of shyt.
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.
He shoulda been a preacher and sell ice to the Eskimo or water to fish and the invisible man in the sky and the king in his new clothes!
He should get out if the profession. Doctor he is not.
Mentally proficient he is not.
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!!
I hear ya man....I have an increased appreciation for flogging the geese.

Lmao
Using it for about six months now. My anxiety and depression has decreased exponentially. Only use a couple of puffs before going to bed.
Excellent presentation. The Dr. knows best...
Not all Dr.'s...
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.
Ever since I've been taking CBD oil everyday since last week. I've chilled way out. Anxiety is almost 90% gone.
Remember to focus on what you enjoy. When you are enveloped with a task is when your focus cannot be broken, which from a personal standpoint is what I smoke these days for. My PTSD in the form of flashbacks does not occur when I am glued to the task I have prepared for myself. Good health to you.
This just good information for the general public on cannabis. He does a good job at noting all of it before heading into the study. Which I am so glad he does.
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!!!
@@kepigal 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.
I met Dr.Oh when I had my cardiac rehab a few years ago. He’s done a marvelous job educating people. Thanks so much.
I take, synthroid,metformin, lisinipril, Apixaban,cardezem, singulair, Lipitor, albuterol, potassium,magnesium, and calcium. 4 yrs ago I stopped Tramadol (20yrs) and Ambien(15yrs) and use med cannabis, Afib has calmed down intermittent episodes, sleep well, chronic pain has went from moderate/severe to mild. My daily life has improved! Went from 23 hrs a day on my back to being able to drive again and limited walking with rollator. I could not set up in a chair for more than 5-10 minutes, now no problems for 5-6 hours. Occasionally take a Tylenol but that’s it. Retirement is improving!😃
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.

This person is not a Doctor, he is a PAID SHILL to run a HATE DIALOG AGAINST Cannibuss BY BIG PHARMA! He is a REOUBLICAN MASS MURDERING BIG PHARMA GOON.
FUCK HIM. My DOctor says CANNIBUSS SAVED ME LIFE. This Doctor is a CON-ARTIST LIKE BERNEY MADDOFF and JEFFERY EPSTIEN. HE WANTS TO MURDER OLD PEOPLE.
And.. jacked up with Omega 6
@@protonman8947 So true, just another actor paid to sell drugs.
I'm glad to hear that this audience has evolved past the giggle-react nonsense that plagued this medicine for much of the 20th century.
After awhile I felt extreme heaviness in my heart ♥ After smoking weed similar to heartache,which is why I stopped.
This is still great info! Thanks!
I am 62 and I have smoked weed since 1969. My doctor says I have clear lungs a very healthy heart like that of a 20 year old. I don’t do any other drugs . I don’t take pain pills even after being in a accident involving a crane in which I fell 92 feet and cracked my neck in 3 places broke my chest bone and shattered my ankle. I was not smoking due I couldn’t due to my job but one month after my accident I started smoking again to relieve the pain did a very good job at it and I still smoked this day to control the pain but I have never had any incidents until I vaped a couple of years ago and my heart rate went sky high .After that I never vaped again .I stick to just smoking to relieve myself of pain.Thank god for marijuana.
them vapes are sketchy man. who knows what are REALLY in the vapes. With herb, you atleast know it's herb.
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
Yep
Marijuana is legal federally and sold in stores like beer, do u live under a rock
Marijuana (THC) is not federally legal in the USA. It is legal in a few states but not legal at the federal level.
@@donkeyballs3307 just no pot Texas!
It's simply a remarkable plant in all regards.
Nice talk, thanks for the information.
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!
My fiance smoked alot till she had a cardiac arrest. Dont know if it was the vaccine or her pain killers or the cannabis
@@mariosanchez-sj9yv You are telling me that your fiance died? Sorry to hear that.
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
@@mariosanchez-sj9yv probably the vax
CBD relaxes my heart, lowers heart rate, kills anxiety to 0%, with CBD I can feel better at work :)
Same here...CBD is as great medicine!!
@@darrelhouse5438 indeed thc did me harm racing heart but mixed it with alcohol now i do just cbd i notice how happy i have become.
what % of concentration do you use?
@@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!

In 2021, I went to Colorado to visit some family but stayed at a hotel my first night in town. Instead of waiting until I met up with family and had them instruct me on proper cannabis use, I decided to go directly to a dispensery and try some in my hotel room. I vaped fresh flower in a handheld vaporizer. I had smoked Cannabis when I was 14 but of course was ignorant of anything about it. I took 2 or 3 small hits from a tiny, miniscule amount of green leaves in a dry herb vaporizer. Then, sat down to have some dinner in my room. 30min later it hit me like a ton of bricks and I almost blacked out, lol. I layed down on the bed and didn't get up until the morning. Later, I learned the cannabis I bought was 30%!!! The amount I inhaled would have been around 40-50mg of THC, and I had no tolerance at all. A normal dose for first time user should have been about 5-10mg. Needless to say it was a very unpleasant experience and I didnt use cannabis again for several weeks even though I had full availability to it in Colorado. It's really important to talk with someone or do online research to understand the proper dosages. I thought I was starting with a tiny amount and didnt realize how potent it was. Since then I've experimented a lot and found the strains and dosage levels that work best for me. I prefer straight Sativa using a Live Resin vape. The Sativa doesnt affect my short term memory as much and the Live Resin extraction process makes the end product taste terrific instead of some weird chemical taste. Edibles take too long to activate and the affects are harder to control since the level of highness can be hampered or helped by the food in your gut. With vaping you feel the effects within 20min and if they begin wearing off you can just do one more hit to keep the buzz going. You have full control of when you want to get off the train. With edibles you're on that rollercoaster until the very end whether you like it or not. And if the high isnt as intense as you wanted you cant eat anymore because you might accidentally take too much and only find out 2hrs later when it hits hard.
I can count on 1 hand the times I've gone 12+hours without smoking since 16. I own a business, work outside everyday, workout every day afterbwork, fish and scuba dive and occasionally free dive...snowboard when I get to the Westcoast... I'm 34 and have 9-11 percent body fat, six pack year round and can run a mile in less than 6 minutes.
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.
Better than alcohol or pain killers
I have used daily for 40 plus years . I don't advocate this , but it worked for me. We are pretty good at it now.
