Please if you would share with me what published sources you based your conclusions from. I am sure we could all submit competing anecdotes.
I also like to think I have some idea about pharmacology. I have posted at length the indications and actions of THC as well as many considerations in its prescription. Laudanum was once available without a prescription and used commonly. Was it also harmless compared to some of the "snake oils" also available at the time?
Show me a thc OD and we can "submit competing anecdotes" from that starting point. I've seen 100s of prescription pill ODs as I'm sure we all have, I've seen alcohol,heroin, meth, coke, etc. ODs. Never seen a thc OD...
Sure marijuana tars up the lungs, etc., in that realm it is not "harmless," but is it dangerous? LOL, at this point 10s of millions know better.
This whole debate is pretty meaningless - I think we all agree EMS "professionals" have no buisness consuming marijuana. I have no prob with drug tests or whatever. I would just like to clear out the hypocrisy. The medic earlier who suggested the kid try aderall to kick his pot habit is way out of line.
