How do you feel about medicinal marijuana for people who have hypoglycemia?

Earlier this month I got a head cold and ever since I haven’t been finishing my meals. At first I chalked it up to being sick, and after that I just said as long as I can get a quick snack I should be fine, but a few days ago at tryouts I nearly fainted. So that was the last straw, I told my parents what had been happening and they took me to a nutritionist. She then suggested that I might have hypoglycemia, and the doctor’s test proved that to be the case. Anyway, for those who don’t know hypoglycemia comes with anxiety, stress, dizziness, night sweats(random sweating in general) and weakness(well atleast those are what I’m experiencing). Anyway due to this stress and a drastic change in scheduling with college, my eating habits have become basically non-existent. Like I would start eating a bagel for breakfast finish about half way through it and feel completely full, but then about an hour later or so I would be starving. Or I would order something for lunch then two bites in I would feel full and not be able to eat another bite, sometimes I have actually walked into a deli,restaurant, or subway and turn right around and walk out cause my stomach felt full and didn’t want me eating anything.

So the reason(s) the doctor suggested the marijuana is because it would help relieve the stress, relieve the anxiety, and bring back my appetite(which in the long run would/should help get rid of any dizziness/weakness I feel.)

So that’s “my arguement/where I’m coming from” anyway leave your feedback…but again please no arguing, just leave your feedback and be done with it, that would probably be best.

P.S. I have tried it before, and honestly I never got hooked, and I never saw what the big deal about it is. So please don’t use “you’ll get addicted your first try” as a reason to not take it. I’ve taken/am currently taking addictive drugs(vicoden) and a. I have pretty good self control, or atleast I think so. b. my parents periodically check on how many pills I have left to make sure I’m not over dosing, so they would take the same approach if they ok the marijuana.

Anyway now I’m done, please leave your suggestions.

Answer #1

I am completely for the use of medicinal marijuana use when the pro’s outweight the con’s.

Medicinal marijuana has been proven to drastically help people with chronic pain due to ilnessess or diseases that are life threatening. People who were once restricted to wheel chairs have had the strentgh and ability to walk again due to marijuana use helping reduce their pain. Cancer patients have been able to enjoy and live their last months/years without being in as much pain and dealing with unbearable symptoms.

In your case however - i don’t feel that inhaling smoke into your lungs on a daily basis therefore increasing the risk of lung cancer is worth it. Your too young and otherwise healthy in my opinion to take that risk.

Answer #2

I think they should legalize it fully. for a certain age and up. it really causes no harm. as for alcohal and cigs cause way more harm. If we can just have one release to the stresses of the days we face and life i think it should be marijuana. U dont hear about people dying from smokin it.

Answer #3

Legalize it and put the drug cartels out of business. ( don’t worry, taxes and regulations will follow but what the heck ) as for your hypoglycemia, you just need to eat. Almost everyone has some type of medical ailment and weed is’nt the answer to ALL of them, although I’m well aware that it does help many people such as cancer patients as just one example.

Answer #4

I have hypoglycemia..

Answer #5

You can get lung cancer.

Answer #6

According to a recent study by the University of California Los Angeles, there is no increased lung cancer risk in smoking marijuana..they did find a an increased risk factor for cancer in those who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day. But im not sayin it isnt bad for u. any smoke u inhale is bad. But if there was a choice in smokin weed, cigs, and alcohal. Weed is better for you. If we have to have one escape from the stress of the world i think weed is a better choice. Some people dont need to escape by smokin or drinkin but some do. if ur gonna do one might as well be the safer one. I dont do it but i used to ;p

Answer #7

And there are plenty of other ways to get it into your system instead of smoking it.
