TopicCannabis related psychosis and addiction on the rise

Not long ago when Joseph Garbely, chief medical officer for the Caron Foundation, reviewed younger patients starting drug or alcohol treatment on his unit, he usually saw people shaking, sick, and seizing from alcohol or opioid withdrawal. Marijuana was seldom what put them in those medical beds.

That has changed.

A few years ago, it was rare to see a young person enter Caron with marijuana-induced psychosis, said Garbely. Now we see it on a regular basis. Older teens and young adults approximately ages 18 to 26 are the most impacted. We see a significant misperception about the safety and efficacy of marijuana among our teen and young-adult patient population.

Marijuana, legal for medical uses in well over half the states in the country and as a recreational substance in ever more states, is generating increasing concern as a dependency-causing drug capable of serious impairment and harm, particularly among its youngest users. New Jersey voters will get to decide in 2020 whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use for people age 21 and over.

While it was once doubted as an addictive substance, treatment professionals now say they are seeing more adolescents and young adults with cannabis use disorder. Often starting in their early teens, many graduate to daily use.

The majority of cases we see of substance use disorder are marijuana, said Ned Campbell, medical director of Rehab After School, an intensive out-patient program for adolescents in Southeastern Pennsylvania, including the Philadelphia area.

Terri L. Randall, medical director of Childrens Hospital of Philadelphias Substance Use Disorder Clinic, said it has become more common for young patients to experience such bad reactions as extreme anxiety and even detachment from reality from cannabis use and continue using.

The fact that kids continue to use, even despite an adverse experience or unpleasant experience with marijuana, is really concerning to me, Randall said. Not only are they having difficult consequences of their use, but they also are finding themselves using more and are unable to control their use. That really is at the heart of the diagnosis of addiction.

I decided to have a nacho grande platter from a local mexican place tonight. It honestly smelled like a toilet as soon as I walked in the place but that didn't stop me! I feasted on that thing...

Then got to drinking and had some of my home made absinthe before going to bed.

Laid there for an hour or two before I gave up and decided I needed to puke.

Don't know if it's from the nachos or the absinthe. Or both. I have to be up for work in 3 hours though.

I fucked up either way.

Trump is not an eloquent speaker, especially these days. He seems to have trouble coming up with the words he wants to say. He means well though, that's all I'm saying. We did so much work to save the bald eagles and now they're dying out because of these things that barely even generate anything. They're not sustainable.

Well I ain't reading those spoilers

But yeah DDD is crazy. Lots of gameplay changes that make it more interesting and more difficult. My usual strategy of mashing X really isn't working. The big guys fuck me up when I try that, so I need to keep doing the Flowmotion moves. And then the whole "drop" thing between Sora and Riku is really weird and adds this timed element to it. There's a lot to get used to.

Are these people in Traverse Town from The World Ends With You? I've never played it but the main guy seems familiar.
