How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain and Adrenal Gland?

11/8/2012

Marijuana and Brain
Marijuana and the Brain
Colorado and Washington became the first U.S. states to legalize the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational use on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, in defiance of federal law, setting the stage for a possible showdown with the Obama administration.

Is Marijuana Good for Your Health?

It is a fact that marijuana, like tobacco can be very addictive as it raises the sodium level and make you feel more normal, as though you have good adrenal function.

In effect all drugs, including marijuana, are stimulating to the Adrenals because they create a toxic reaction inside the Liver which draws its energy from the Adrenals.

All toxins will create an Adrenal response which feels stimulating and gives us the illusion of having more energy than we really do.

Alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, heroin and other seemingly depressant type of substances are actually very stimulating to the adrenal glands and therefore give us a sense of euphoria and energy, as our pain, anxiety, worries and agitation are forgotten.

The problem is that as our Adrenals become weakened more and more by the very substance that is causing us to be so tired, we crave it more and more, in order to provide that momentary relief from fatigue, pain or depression.  Click here to read more about the
adrenal gland. 

Now, let's look at how marijuana affects the brain, according to Dr. Lawrence Wilson. 


What is Marijuana and How to Use It?

Marijuana Plant
Marijuana Plant
Marijuana, also called cannabis, weed or pot, is a species of the hemp plant.

Hemp is grown worldwide for its oil, food and fiber.

The variety in question, however, contains much more of a psychoactive chemical, termed THC.

Pot can be smoked or added to common foods.

Some people use it only occasionally at parties, for example.

While many may believe it to be harmless, driving while stoned is at least five times more dangerous than driving without the drug.

​Others use it to self-medicate for feelings of anxiety, depression or irritability. Its low cost makes it, by far, the most widely abused drug in America today.


How Does Marijuana Affect The Brain?

The main active chemical in cannabis is THC or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

THC damages very sensitive cells of the brain related to perception and coordination.

These are sometimes called cannabinoid receptor cells. This is a misnomer, however. The cells attacked by THC are just very delicate cells.

THC and other chemicals in the plant can reduce some pain, nausea and other symptoms by numbing the sensitive cells that record pain.

This is the rationale for the legalization and use of “medical marijuana.” However, this does not change the fact that the drug is highly toxic to the brain.

Symptoms of brain damage from THC and other chemicals in marijuana

Symptoms include distorted perception, impaired coordination, difficulty in thinking and problem-solving, and problems with learning and memory.

The main impact wears off after a few hours; research indicates, however, that some adverse effects can last for days or weeks.

Long-term use of marijuana 

Marijuana alters the brain in ways similar to that of other major drugs.

For example, pot withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress response system and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine.

Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward.

The addictive potential of marijuana 

Many claim that marijuana is not addictive.

This is simply not true. Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety and drug craving, all of which make it more difficult to stop.

Some 6 percent of those who use marijuana will become addicted.

This is about the same percentage of social drinkers who become alcoholics.

Marijuana and mental health 

Many studies indicate an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and especially schizophrenia.

The younger a person is at first use, the more likely his or her chance of developing a serious mental illness.

This may occur because the brain is still developing and, therefore, most vulnerable to damage from THC and other chemicals in marijuana.

At the present time, the strongest evidence links pot smoking with schizophrenia.

High doses of marijuana can produce an acute psychotic reaction.

​In addition, use of the drug may trigger the onset or relapse of schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals.


Aspects of Marijuana Use on the Brain

Growth and development of the human brain should continue anywhere from age 30 to 40.

However, the effects of marijuana retard the development of the finer brain centers.

When this form of development does not occur on schedule, a person will not be able to function nearly as well in a complex modern society.

​This is the saddest aspect of marijuana use.

A person who uses pot even once a week is rarely aware of the destructive action of the drug, because he does not realize how much better he could function if his brain were not so affected.


Other Effects of Pot Smoking 

Effects on the heart

Studies estimate that, as with cigarettes, marijuana smokers have a four-fold increase in heart attack risk in the first hour after smoking the drug.

This may be due to an increased heart rate, as well as the effects of marijuana on heart rhythms, causing palpitations and arrhythmias.

This risk is greater in aging populations or those with cardiac vulnerabilities.

Effects on the lungs

Marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke.

Regular marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue.

A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently, but do not smoke tobacco, have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers.

Many of the extra sick days among the pot smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.

Effects on daily life and society

​
Research shows that regular marijuana use reduces cognitive abilities. Several studies associate workers’ pot smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers’ compensation claims and job turnover.

Thanks Dave for all the links you have provided for others to make their decision as to whether or not marijuana is bad or good for their adrenal glands.

You can also go to http://www.naturalhealthprotocol.com/medical-marijuana.html for further information...

In the meantime, here is a quote from the author of this article, Lawrence Wilson MD from the Center of Development ( which we agree with 100%:

"This subject is not up for debate, from my clinical experience. I receive many emails attempting to convince me I am wrong about pot smoking. However, no matter how many positive studies about pot one can quote, my clinical experience tells a very different story. If you are using it, I suggest you quite while you still have a brain to think with."

Have a nice day!

She is partly correct and partly not. I'be been on and off marijuana and never felt any trouble while quitting it. I smoke during our festive seasons (October to December) every year and then again I call quits from Jan. But the fact that many of the long-term abusers (in its real sense) suffer from a lowered immunity. That involves the intrinsic factor and I think we need to see some info on that.

All subjects are up for debate. Your credentials do not constitute knowledge Mr. Lawrence. Show us the data in which prolonged THC use has on the blood levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine an prove there is a significant difference using the Chi Squared test otherwise your anecdotal assumptions are simply an uninformed and biased opinion.

Hello I know is late but you wrote comment also year after article. In my country I hold MD in neurology and toxicology and my lab study cannabinoids. " Lawrence Wilson MD from the Center of Development ( which we agree with 100%" then you are incompetent. "Growth and development of the human brain should continue anywhere from age 30 to 40" he claim that from one study Blakemore et.al but what she forgot is that this region is very plastic and this not maturing rather adapting (changing) to person experience."These are sometimes called cannabinoid receptor cells. This is a misnomer, however. The cells attacked by THC are just very delicate cells." here is very good definition QUACK so he claims that cannabinoid are wrong name? maybe should read some information http://www.news-medical.net/health/Cannabinoids-What-are-Cannabinoids.aspx. THey are also occurs in breast milk so infants start use cannabinoid. What is important they are not damaged but depleted, and after one month in daily users they back to reference level like cognitive function. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22731735
http://jnumedmtg.snmjournals.org/cgi/content/meeting_abstract/52/1_MeetingAbstracts/10
So using word brain damage here shows that author have little knowledge in this field, if this changes are reversible we cant call this damage only temporary shifts(adaptation). "If you are using pot, I strongly suggest you quit while you still have a brain with which to think." advice from person who clearly dont have any idea about this topic. I wonder he gets licence in Mexico there is only general medicine, in my country this "doctors" are for giving directing to specialist, He from this studies know nothing about brain, after this article I be say that have know little that average person. "my clinical experience tells a very different story" this claim point that he can be fraud. I will copy my one comments for other person where are information and reference about cannabis:
"I read your reference. Does dopamine mediate the psychosis-inducing effects of cannabis? A review and integration of findings across disciplines. This assumption is flawed and rejected by many scientists why? because cannabis cause little dopamine release probably the same level as caffeine. Here is good study about dopamine
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22290115
""Psychosis is a side effect of marijuana use in some people, and that fact is generally accepted by mental health providers because of evidence" not its not, the truth is that cannabis can induce in genetically vulnerable individuals but cant cause itself. (we can compare this to very severe allergy, when someone die from anaphylactic shock we says that nuts kill him or allergy?)
http://www.schres-journal.com/article/S0920-9964(13)00610-5/abstract
"Towards a Cannabinoid Hypothesis of Schizophrenia: Cognitive Impairments Due to Dysregulation of the Endogenous Cannabinoid System" again I wonder do you even check studies with current scientific knowledge? or only take studies which supports your claims? ( belive me in my country have MD from toxicology and neurology and see how it is easy to make mistakes and cause that entire study is flawed.). Dysregulation of cannabinoid receptors cause cognitive impariments (and here one example why most studies here are flawed) but after month of abstinence (in heavy users) they back to normal

In this studies they screen person who stop smoking 12 h ago (residual effects) and yes brain size can change temporarily
here example
http://www.biomedcentral.com/2052-1847/6/4
What more correlation does not imply causation and what is interesting in cannabis brain screening studies that they cant find consistent brain changes (in the same brain region) like in virtually all others drugs studies some even shows opposite increase brain size. Of course both increase or decrease can be bad or good things. Of course what is true that as I know there is no even one study which direclty be show that cannabis cause this brain changes.
Only in one you have right. If your children have genetic predisposition to schizophrenia they should avoid using it because as I wrote earlier smoking can induce onset in them.
"Here's one of many studies which may contribute to your education:" Please dont spread about education because clearly you cant drawn conclusion from studies, as I wrote: I wonder do you even check studies with with current scientific knowledge? or only take studies which supports your claims?

There isn't any science to support most of these claims. Lawrence Wilson MD received his medical degree in the 70's from Centro De Estudios Universitarios Xochicalco, Mexico. He has published 3 papers in journals and the last was in 1986. You're propagating disinformation. Please if you're going to claim things like
"It is a fact that marijuana, like tobacco can be very addictive "
"Marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke."
and insinuate that marijuana causes brain damage... Please, for God's sake, include more than one reference in your reference section. It's almost like you idealize an unpublished quack who got his MD degree 40 years ago in Mexico..

how is it that cannabis "contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke" when 6 million people die every year from tobacco related diseases (American Cancer Society) and the death rate for cannabis is unknown? If cannabis contains this extra 50-70 more carcinogens wouldn't the death rate be higher than that of tobacco.....................................................................??

Thank you so much, Dave. I was going to go on a rant about this article, like the fact that the only credible source they use is a single doctor, who apparently doesn't like changing his opinions, even when they go against the majority of what current medical practitioners believe. But you've put it in such a succinct manor, with credible links, that I don't really have much to add. So, once again, thanks Dave.

I also wanted to put this sites own disclaimer up on this thread. It can be found under the contact link on this page. I couldn't help but copy the entire bit of writing there, in which this site also adds a "single solution" "nutritionally balancing science" developed by a single doctor. In my experience, there isn't, nor has there ever been, a single solution that works for everyone. So, below is a simple copy/paste of the disclaimer page.

This article jardly mentioned anything about pot causing cancer, only that the smoke is carcinogenic, so why did you just list a bunch of links about it curing cancer? I personally can where to learn about the adrenals and how they are affected by weed. I've checked many sites and they all say the same: pot raises cortisol, after the initial buzz/chill and adrenal excitement. the reason people continue smoking is because they need it to numb their boredom, sadness, pain. Or they are stuck, unmotivated, and Need the temporary happiness that weed provides (just like cigs, alcohol, and caffeine). I smoked from age 15 to 26. My adrenals are suffering, I've been getting intense panic attacks when I smoke, my throat feels sore when I smoke, and it simply does nothing positive for me any more.
We can pretend all we want that pot is good for us but I really don't believe this anymore. Maybe small amounts for healthy people. Also, weed used to be balanced as far as cbd and thc content. These days it's nearly all thc and hardly any cbd. The cbd protects the brain and neutralizes the affect of the thc. Now more than ever is a good time to stop. Also, I work in the weed industry and most of the growers are dik heads who spray pesticides and herbicides on their plants. Not cool.

Dr. Lawrence Wilson's quote seems to suggests he refuses to change his mind even as he gets hoards of new evidence suggesting marijuana isn't as bad as he says it is. I tend to shy away from people, especially "experts" who refuse to accept new information.

I've seen numerous studies showing absolutely no link between cancer and marijuana, and in fact, some studies suggests that marijuana actually has a protective effect.

I am wondering if your site has published any article from the scientists and doctors who hold an opposing view to Dr. Wilson.

Anything that unnaturally raises your cortosol level isn't good for you. Weed is okay if used occasionally. Unfortunately for me and many others out there is difficult to stop once we start. Proving it has medical value didn't dispute the fact that chronic use has negative effects on brain growth and function. I suffer from adrenal fatigue and I'm sure weed is one of the culprits to cause this.

Please check first studies then spread your "knowledge" adrenal glands are implicated it PTSD and many studies show that cannabinoids help here.http://www.jneurosci.org/content/29/36/11078.full About adrenal fatigue science dont support such claims "“Adrenal fatigue” is not a real medical condition. There are no scientific facts to support the theory that long-term mental, emotional, or physical stress drains the adrenal glands and causes many common symptoms."

I perform few times double blind studies and many people feel better after sugar pill in symptoms we checked, here good example quote from my frend optican
"I recently had a patient come into my office for an adjustment. I noticed two tiny radio transistors wired to each temple. I asked the reason for the "hardware". This was her answer. "according to my chiropractor, I have a problem with picking up radio waves and it's affecting my vision." Well, what could I say? I asked if I could possibly help her with the problem. I pulled off the transistors and used clear heat shrink tubing on the temples. I explained that if the problem was because the metal was to close to her head (her reasoning, not mine...) maybe the tubing would help and would look much better. I also told her that if it didn't work, we could put the transistors back on the frame.
She agreed and I made the switch. She called me an hour later and told me she felt 100% better and I had "fixed" the problem. Needless to say, I now have a very loyal patient for life.....still scratching my head on that one"
" I think you should respect this man's research." the problem is he has no research and virtualy all research say opposite to what he say.

I used marijuana heavily throughout my late teens and twenties.
This combined with stressors in my life, which seemed to be worse (as my perception was altered), l wound up with severe adrenal fatigue. Of course doctors didn't know what was wrong, even with my addmision of pot use. I still deal with an auto immunity, not necessarilly brought on by marijuana, but from my body and mind being totally worn out from it's over use. I eventually found a good MD that diagnoised the adrenal fatigue/ hormone depletion, and got me 'well'.
I do still believe marijuana should be 100% legal.
However in my case, and possiblely yours, use in moderation. That's my experience.
Best to you all.

The fact is the drug stresses the adrenal gland, the salient and uncontroversial point. The rest plunges this forum into debate and politics. I wonder if good health is to strive and not stress the adrenals. Since aside from premature death from cancer (which may not be true) the health of our adrenals leaves a neuro endocrine system suitable to reach and exceed its eighty or more years. We are addicted to stress as a culture. This could be called stressed adrenal response. But for, ladies and gentlemen, the many contested pros and cons, marijuana appears to compromise the outcome of longer living.

The article is strong in the science for the adrenal segment. Perhaps this is because we only have sufficient information scientifically on cannabis for the adrenals. A simpler gland than the organ brain. For the brain and cancer fighting segments, I can't see more than a partly coordinated dance. The citations don't speak to each other. Condemning or condoning makes moot what attempts we have to understand it. For the given evidence, to reject or accept it wholeheartedly rather spurs political sentiments and ideology from experience. The evidence, on the other hand, is speculative as to whether marijuana is actually the agent in these anti cancer miracles, and it seems there isn't a host of proper controlled double blind studies even to find and isolate cannabis sativa's constituent parts. It's contestable.

It being the case our bodies stress to drug intake, it's probable the toker is a sometime beer drinker, wine man and smoker. Suppose weed's issue is it's a major lifestyle add on, too. I have one cigarette and go to work. I drink one Merlot and am refreshed. I smoke a joint and it is the friends, half a pack and a bottle of red. The worst element is the need for daily tickles of the adrenal gland like only pot can do me. Habit born and maintained. I smoke tobacco and it pinches my stress response, alcohol in the liver raises sodium from the kidneys for God knows why, yet marijuana's mood changing effects will make it particularly memorable (and long lasting).

There is a personal reaction to toking for the spectator and participant. The frame of the debate is skewed by the cancer rebuttal and to the clearly-claimed pruning on the brain's sensitive cells. Is this latter declamation even capable of proof without dissecting gray matter from cadavers? (ie will not be researched). However, given the distance from the those without cancer, why wouldn't I smoke if I had cancer? Most people will jump through rings of chemotherapy, far worse and taxing, hell, medicate diagnosis depression. So for the sake of those without cancer, am I to give the thumbs up to you and say, thanks bud? Its cancer fighting properties are just that, not an intuited sign of a wholly good plant, but important to those with cancer. However, we are concerned for effects on life outside the crosshairs of the fatal condition. So rebutting the ill effects purported on brain anatomy with the anti-cancer effects of pot, it confirms that my search finds nowhere a cognitively improving therapy with weed. Memory impairment, disorientation, distorted perception: totally! The only question is if these are made lasting effects to neuro anatomy structure. This debate is bravely unresolved, one part having no proof and Dr Lawrence not being able to prove these minute neuronal defects without dead subject's human brain, a microscope, a petris dish and a scalpel. Good or bad, I would say it can only attain personal preference here.

Weed makes its way into the company of lifestyle habits that conspire to impair long lasting adrenal function. This means fewer octogenarians who make it past 89. This means more premature deaths due to premature aging by continued stress response. Lowered immunity and a litany of many effects are widely published as to the stress epidemic. Tacking pot to that stack gives a clear lens to view its role in my life. It being a recreational semi defining substance, and partly a master of the user, this makes any clear, unpoliticized proof as why not to use it if you had some and can't stop, an addiction. Personal feelings are involved for why I praise and exemplify, we see an adrenal- pot connection. This is not muddied and truly real science that is thorough and not blurred from bias and wishful thinking. That being the case, do you want to see 90?

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for your comment.

It is safe to say that most people addicted to stimulants or other drugs including cigarettes, cocaine, marijuana, and others has some degree of adrenal insufficiency.

Here is another article from Dr. Wilson: http://drlwilson.com/Articles/CANNABIS.htm

"The fact is the drug stresses the adrenal gland, the salient and uncontroversial point. The rest plunges this forum into debate and politics. I wonder if good health is to strive and not stress the adrenals."
Actually sience say something different

"Although previous pharmacological studies using plant-derived or synthetic cannabinoids have implied a stimulating action on the HPA axis, more recent findings have led to the conclusion that an endogenous cannabinoid tone might exist, which is actually inhibiting the release of both adrenocorticotrophic hormone and glucocorticoids. "cannabinoids relax not stress adrenals thats why they are implicated in positive results in PTSD treatment http://www.jneurosci.org/content/29/36/11078.full

Everyone I know who is a cannabis addict looks and seems burned out as hell as the years go on. They do not give off any healthy appearance at all and are extremely self-absorbed and can't remember where they put their keys or forget this or that, which just creates more stress. So glad I gave up. It is interesting to see how angry other cannabis addicts get about other viewpoints or other experiences that even hint at threatening their drug of choice - and that is still what it is - a drug - a plant that has been altered for maximum high over time for profit. Yes, it is good for some conditions, but most of the folks I know are just old burned out stoners who are recreational drug addicts and I won't be joining them. Ironically, I found out that the conditions, I thought I needed cannabis for, were being made worse by cannabis - chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, etc. It was placing a toxic burden on my total system of functioning.

Cat, to treat those illnesses you need to eat the the concentrated oil, not to smoke it. Nobody should be smoking it, neither medicinally or recreationally. The health benefits are unbelievable when the oil is eaten though. Give it 10 years and the info will be mainstream. The whole darn country is doing it wrong!!!!

I have tried the CBD only oil, which is the only way I would use cannabis. The whole THC thing is just a burnout factor for me anymore, on top of other effects. I had no ill or energy draining effects from the CBD oil. But I think the THC thing just did something to me over time that didn't agree with me and my energy systems. Now I am at almost 9 months and I'm still struggling but doing so much better. PAWS is a real thing and can be long-term.

Typical a "professional" who declares their knowledge is correct regardless of the information presented. I have a Bachelors in biology and the first thing they taught us is that Science is ever changing through series of tests. It is not simply an absolute declaration based on ones knowledge and experience as you clearly think it is. Your views reflect the mid 1900s not the modern day. It is also flawed because there is barely any references to back up your bold claims, show the study in which marijuana is as addictive as tabacco or alcohol other wise you are not allowed to state it.

Also I do believe Ibuprofen , Acetomeniphen, and Naproxen are abused more often than THC.

A compromised immune system is more common in those who take antibiotics than smoke marijuana. Yet I assume as a "Medical Professional" you have no gripes about prescribing antibiotics. That is the definition of hipocracy.

I've been smoking pot chronic for over a decade and it's catching up with me. Just became aware of adrenal fatigue but I'm sure this is what I have, and it's largely because of smoking. During the few times I've managed to quit for 6-8 weeks at a time over the past few years, my body felt amazingly strong & healthy & light & free. But shit happens and the drug always manages to get me back in its clutches. One week sober again and I pray it will hold.

Have you considered your just far to self absorbed to admit that your work could be biased and their are benifits regardless of the disadvantages... Everything has an equal and opposite reaction... Right? So whether you want to apply that now.. Its has its good effects and possibly bad effects.. Yet the only thing ive seen or found plausable about weed being bad.. Is the fact that people become dependant.. And that is in no way caused by weed.. That is solely due to the will power.. And if the cant control that.. Its not for them.. Not the weeds fault its.. Not rolling itself lighting itself then forcing its way into your lungs is it.. Thanks for looking into it but! i simply cannot justify biased studys..

You know, what nobody seems to realise is how far far removed we nowadays are from the sacredness of such things. Tobacco, Marijuana and other plants were used in ancient times in a sacred, ceremonial way and with the purpose of spiritual growth. But today whatever we do seems to often be extreme and without any conscious interaction with the substance or food stuff itself. Of course Marijuana is beneficial for health in so many ways. Tobacco is still being used in the jungle in some parts of the world for ceremonial purposes, especially for cleansing the body and the spirit. How is it being used in the West? As with EVERYTHING, overuse and abuse are going to leave their marks, spiritually and physically. Yes honey is healthy, solo many amazing properties many of which science is still only just finding out- however it doesn't mean it will still be healthy if you eat a kilo every day for the rest of your life. So question is not so much who is right and wrong here about the health effects of Marijuana use, but we should look at HOW it is being used. Condemning such powerful plant and putting putting it in the same category as alcohol, heroine and cocaine is just as ignorant as smoking it unconsciously and without any respect for the plant.

sorry for my english....i smoked pot on and off for years even heavily, i am 51 years now. my adrenals are very fatigued i have a hard time going to work, but the main problem for my adrenals are:
NR 1 psycological stress - job stress
NR 1 shift work and insomnia
NR 1 thyroid drug (not all of them)
NR 2 hepatitis C stress
NR 2 Perimenopusal hormone unbalance
NR 3 Wrong food
NR 3 not being happy with my life
NR .....maybe some toxicity from weed...even because my liver is not healthy
conclusion: i would be not happy if my children smoked , but keep in mind the killer nr 1 is anxiety, stress and fear...and most people who smoke weed on a regular basis do so to cover an anxiety problem...

Most people who smoke weed on a regular basis do so because they want to, though cannabis (specifically CBD) can reduce stress and anxiety.

As long as mental health is a taboo subject that people (primarily men) will be embarrassed to seek help for, then you have to expect that many will self-medicate, whether with weed, booze, sexual promiscuity, excessive eating or anything else for that matter.

Hello everyone. I thought i'd share my views on this subject which has been central to my life. Indeed, I've been smoking cannabis for 20 years now but I am also a serious scholar of astrology and holistic healing disciplines. Strange mix, but that's me. I wholeheartedly agree with the original statement that many have bashed. Yes, it does fry your adrenals. Many people like me have seen it, others wish to deny it. Chronic users are often faced with facing this uncomfortable truth, as I was for at least 15 years having only heard one side of the debate, but over time, if one is honest with himself the truth is there for you to see.

From an astrological perspective, Cannabis is a VENUSIAN plant. By that I mean taking it will push someone into the Venusian spheres, which usually has the effect of diminishing your Mars (drive, motivation). Pleasures, music, art, easy-goingness are all favoured. Isn't it interesting how Venus rules the kidneys ? And isn't interesting how Mars rules the adrenals ? Reflecting on these things should be enough for a user who is serious in finding out the truth. How do you behave when you smoke a doobie ? Surely if you are hyped it's because as the original statement said, it's stimulating the adrenals (mars), but this doesnt last long...Then Venus takes over.

It's important to consider what your relationship is to the venusian vs martian archetypes. How strong is venus in your natal chart vs mars ; which is more powerful ? Let's imagine mars is in aries in the 1st house or in another strong position...this person is unlikely to lack drive and strength and would face adversity head on. What if this person has a weak venus though ? Then he might resort to cannabis to experience more venusian things, and will be more resistant to it, people will wonder why he smokes so many joints and yet still gets stuff done. Now let's imagine you have a strong venus and a weak mars. This is definitely more dangerous, and one would even wonder why smoke in the first place. Is it some sort of unsatiable desire, some hedonistic complacency one can get into ? Yes. The effects can be disastrous for these people on the long term. They are in effect living out an astral life full of desires and illusions that cannot be manisfested. Living in a dream, where nothing gets done, even for artists ! nothing is brought into the material world, which is mars.

Then, it's good to look at Neptune, the planet which rules addictions. In essence a strong Neptune in the chart will dissolve boundaries. A more dangerous placement than above since one is actually living out the lives of others instead of his own, there are more emotional issues over time, one loses a sense of identity. This is the negative side of Neptune, the positive being spirituality. So let's imagine you have jupiter on neptune in your natal, then in that case the chronic user's liver (jupiter) - ie an emotional organ where memories are too often locked in - will be completly overwhelmed by others' crap, or by some sort of haziness. And jupiter always wants more, more of what, more of Neptune (drugs, escapism).

We can see from these two examples that smoking weed depends on one individual to the next. All holistic cases take into account the individual as a unique individual. And how are you gonna understand that without astrology ? Is the healer just supposed to say "its bad for you" and that's it... How can an individual actually stop taking it once he understands completly in his whole being that its actually bad for him ? thats when the real story begins...and it has to do with knowing yourself, what we are all here to do.

Who is anyone to judge what another's soul's purpose should or should not be ? Maybe the chronic user's soul purpose is to understand, through pain and addictions, the limits of escapism or excess venusian needs. Some people have this as a central theme in their chart. It's good to give these people time and understanding, only they can fix it themselves. Taking herbs such as ginseng, rhodiola, sage, astragalus, etc,,,will not solve the root issue, but will only buy them time, and thats ok.

Its useless to quote all these scientific articles. You guys are a joke. Live things yourself, be honest, observe, know yourself, seek and you shall find.

"Live things yourself, be honest, observe, know yourself, seek and you shall find. " I wonder how incompetent you are? what science do? observe by this we drawns results.
"And how are you gonna understand that without astrology ? " very simply because astrology is the biggest pseudoscientific b.s. unsupported by any evidence you only take money from quackery you spreaded, creating diseases which dont exist. "Adrenal fatigue” is not a real medical condition. There are no scientific facts to support the theory that long-term mental, emotional, or physical stress drains the adrenal glands and causes many common symptoms."" compared to you I perform studies about cannabinoids.
P.S If all will waste their time to astrology you will be wrote this comment on stone plate because without science you will be live in cage.
I also know you lie, why? because even the biggest quack from holistic healing are based they theories on science.

Taking adsptogenic herbs instead of smoking pot will eventually lead the person to healing the root issue of addiction. Smoking pot will continue to numb while taking adaptogenic herbs will guide the person down more and more paths of healing , until they discover that the root is held within a past trauma, leading them to emotional healing techniques. Marijuana is escapist and I know this from personal experience

Cannabis does not cause brain damage! this has been proven time and time again. In fact, it actually has neuroprotective properties which can benefit anyone from premature babies, elderly adults, professional athletes and even trauma victims.

According to one study which looked at the medical records in an ER over a three-year period, those with cannabis in their systems has an increased chance of survival compared to those who didn't.

Furthermore, cannabis that had been administered to baby pigs who had been starved of oxygen immediately after birth (to simulate oxygen deficiencies that premature babies often face) showed COMPLETE recovery in ALL AREAS OF THE BRAIN.

To imply that THC causes brain damage is not only wrong, but a blatant lie at this point considering all of the evidence that suggests otherwise. And I have a hard time trusting liars, even if they do have a Ph.D.

I started marijauna use later than most at 35. I've tried many health fads including EatRightByBloodType, Vegan etc. Two months ago I started TheRosedaleDiet. I never stopped pot but did stop coffee, sugar, and grains. First of all my life has improved vastly since starting the sacred herb. I found this diet to improve stress symptoms, brain fog, paranoia and fatigue. I beleive this article is correct about one negative aspect which is its affect on adrenals. That said, if one were to eliminate all other adrenal jackers and simply choose your battles wisely, marijuana is a keeper. Things I'm not addicted to include Approval, television(20yrs), coffee, sugar, grains(turn to glucose shortly after combined with saliva), video games and porn off the top of my head. I'll respect these findings though and be sure to give my adrenals a break. Party on ; )

I don't have any "statistics" or studies but have desperately tried to find any and unsuccessful outside of forums of people going through what I am. I originally chose cannabis for anxiety, what I thought was extreme anxiety and being a naturalist, I was all for it. I made my own oil and took in a veggie capsule. I'm on my third month of not using after about 2 years. My tolerance was too high and it was becoming expensive. My endocrine system is completely screwed. I have constant burts of adrenaline. If you have ever been in a car accident, that adrenaline Felt aftewards is the same type of adrenaline I have felt nearly non stop for 3 months. The weight loss is especially concerning. The withdrawals have caused my blood pressure to rise significantly. I am 34 and used weed to prevent needing medication. I am now on 5 medications. It has severely dibilitated my life and I am no longer an advocate and feel this drug is just as dangerous as alcohol and heroin. I honestly don't know how much longer I can live like this.

I get that smoking marijuana isnt going to get you a PHD. But for recreation I think it has great potential. Although I do not regularly use marijuana I have recently learned that the sativa strain, sometimes called the energy drink of herbs, has the ability to enhance energy, or at least the feeling of it. This sounds great to me. Typically I believe I have tried indicas which seem to be more available. These are more sedative. Alchohol is OK for recreation but I'd like something more upbeat. Going to Denver this month to try some Sativa. Im curious if caffeine has a more profound effect on the adrenals?

I was able to increase my intake by adding cannabis suppositories as well. The combination of treatments proved very potent, and by September 3rd, 2014, a scan showed that i was cancer free.

that his oil will heal my cancer problem only if i can order for it as soon as possible.


He calculated the dosage for me to buy and the dosage he calculated was 60grams of the oil which i ordered plus 30grams maintenance free and also with a body lotion and soap. He told me that if i order it online now by the next 48hours the medication will get to my door step through the delivery services, we decided to give it a try and behold when i did exactly 48hours of ordering the medication came to my door step through the delivery agent and deliver it to me. immediately i emailed Ricksimpson back that i have gotten the medication, and the usage instruction manual was also delivered to me. I started the medication immediately just after a month of using Rick Simpson cannabis oil, i was now free from cancer problem, i am living a healthy life my utmost priority of sharing this short testimony is for those that are suffering from my kind of cancer diseases or if your friend or family members are suffering from this deadly disease, please don’t die in silence there is a cure for your cancer today don’t waste anytime further you have to email Rick Simpson directly and save your live and the lives of others

My Mum who was experiencing weight gain, hair loss and acne, bouts of chest and abdominal pain and several months of unrelenting headaches that no medicine could relieve, In fact, it got worse. saw various doctors they decided that the lab levels indicated nothing much at all, until we met a Doc. who did CT scan, and she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. So after one year, A surgeon advice was to remove her tumor, along with her left kidney. she needed to see someone with extensive experience in treating adrenal gland tumors for the next phase of her treatment. Knowing she needed to get an answer once and for all, we looked up on the internet and saw someone who testified about Aryan herbal medicine which she took and she had no more symptoms since then. You can also contact him if interested at

Are we talking about thc/cbd ratios or just thc? In general, most articles against weed is that the thc is damaging...

What about 1:1 or better 8:1 thc cbd to thc?

my wife has been suffering from thyroid cancer which was confirmed to be stage four, the doctor told me there was little she could do since she wasn’t responding to treatment but my brother in law came to our rescue by ordering this hemp oil from Rick Simpson Foundation which he said has been helping some patient fight against cancer of various types so we decided to give it a chance, so far my wife is improving perfectly very well and presently she can walk around the house all by herself. I felt its necessary i let others who are suffering from this acute disease that once you have a good hemp oil it can really give one a sound second chance of living. if you happen to be in need of this hemp oil you can contact the foundation who supplied my brother in law with this email: ricksimpsonfoundation@outlook.com or call +17372107440

I recently cut back on smoking and completely removed caffeine and my energy is definitely up and feeling better overall. I feel like my body has a chance to heal. I think the caffeine was doing most the damage, but THC definitely played a role.

I was diagnosed of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in 2012 at the age of 63. I had been a heavy smoker, my symptoms started out with dry cough and shortness of breath, i ended up in the hospital, on a ventilator. I should have known it was coming, but like most smokers, thought it would never happen to me. My COPD got significantly worse and unbearable because of my difficulty catching breath. Last year, i started on a natural COPD Herbal therapy from NewLife Herbal Clinic, i read a lot of positive reviews from patients who used the treatment and i immediately started on it. I had great relief with this herbal treatment. I breath very much better now, no case of shortness of breath or chest tightness since treatment. Visit NewLife Herbal Clinic website ww w. newlifeherbalclinic. com. This COPD treatment is a miracle!!

First, I want to complement this page administrator for creating this platform for us to express our feelings. Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine from DR. ISHIAKU the greatest herbalist doctor in the world and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine from Dr ISHIAKU .. I have read about Dr ISHIAKU the great herbalist doctor from African who can cure disease with his powerful herbal medicine. for the people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes,HIV/Aids, Cancer, Also, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv, Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes. Although, i sent him what he requested and he sent me his medicine through DHL courier delivery company which i took for some days and today when i went for test, i was tested herpes negative. you can reach him through his EMAIL: ishiakuherbalcure@gmail.com or What-sApp him at +2348180828544

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. All other claims made by other practitioners, not approved by Dr. Lawrence Wilson on his site, have altered Dr. Eck's principles and as such have no in depth understanding of the science, which is very unfortunate.  

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing program often ruins it rather completely.  This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson.  In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
