I have been advised to stop smoking marijuana for 24 hours before surgery.This includes edibles, tincture drops, and topical THC/CBD products. I am open about my marijuana use, especially since I have a painful autoimmune disease (Ankylosing Spondylitis), immunocompromised, Fibromyalgia, Congenital Spinal Stenosis, C-PTSD…. I live in California.
love your shows. I have a question, so i have told my psycholigest and family doctor i was going to quit thc products. they told me not to stop. they have me use if for my PTSD and bipolor deprition. and i do agree with them thc dose help the medication workbetter for me. iso what should a person in my case should do before sugery?
Fascinating report. They know a LOT more now than years ago when I smoked. I quit when I started meditating, as I could feel (finally) what it was doing to mess up my energy. And, I could feel that it stuck around for 2 weeks, so the 4 week number doesn't surprise me. I tried it a very few times after that and got to hate it because of the feeling of social awkwardness I would get. For all that I would never be tempted again, and would not advise anyone to use it. Meditation (I do soto-style "just sitting") is hard to do often but so so worth it. Truly, using weed is a replacement for other things in life: love, friendship, deep satisfaction of accomplishment….I could feel the light "addiction" and again that would take 2 weeks to disappear.
So how does my use of edibles change the effects of anesthesia drugs? I'll be having different surgeries over the next few years. I've been transparent to all of my doctors that I use it for pain. I despise opiods and would prefer to not have them. It's not daily use and I grow my own plants, it's legal here.
@21:35 My pet pev is when people say stuff like "push wed at you" and say keep saying "I'm not anti-marijuana". these people are so fnckn annoying. Weed is legal now it can't be pushed
All I'm hearing you say is don't smoke weed we got other drugs at the pharmacy we can get you hooked on.. people are out here dying in the streets from fentanyl that the medical world created. People are hooked on and dying from opioids again y'all created.. the biggest drug pushers on this planet are the pharmacies and the doctors.. but you dare say something about marijuana and they freak out 😱 why you ask because they don't get kickbacks from the pharmacy that's why.. you can go to a doctor and tell them that your toe has been hurting you and they will quickly whip that pen and pad out and subscribe you as many drugs as they can. Whether you need them or not..
What you're not distinguishing is behavioral addition, compared to physical addiction. Marijuana, indeed, is NOT physically addictive. You do not need detoxing from it with cold sweats, hallucination, vomiting, agitation, etc…as with PHYSICAL addiction. Emotional of behavioral addition is a choice for LIFESTYLE. If you would prefer to live pain free and without anxiety symptoms, it is a RATIONAL CHOICE to think it's unreasonable to stop BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS YOU HAVE JUST DISCOUNTED AS BEING UNIMPORTANT. If were living in pain, doc, I bet you'd change your tune in calling a MEDICINAL USE, ADDICTION. Tell me, do you call it addiction when Blood Pressure meds are not discontinued? How about Metformin? Are you "addicted" because you need it?
So…in DISTINGUISHING "needs," it seems you think there is little value in the quieting of symptoms in the one case…with petroleum based pharmaceuticals…but not with a natural plant with health side effects…that's GOOD HEALTH side effects.
I'm a chronic cervical neck pain patient. I've been hospitalized numerous times for various reasons. I have never been in the hospital saying wow I wish I could have some THC. There is no addictive withdrawals. I like what you said it's behavioral. I'm 58 years old I know that anxiety can be overcome if you just be mindful and present. America is over medicated on anxiety meds. Medical marijuana is a much safer alternative for overall relief of multiple symptoms. Smoking before Anesthesia absolutely affects the process. It happened to me. I will never forget that. It's absolutely dangerous.
As a lifelong cannabis User who has also abstained four years at a time and then gone back to using it. I can tell you you are wrong. Anyone can learn addictive behavior and it runs in families with any substance from sugar on . But as far as a substance goes is the one of the most non-toxic least addictive substances on earth. .. I have had tobacco issues my whole younger life and quitting weed was nothinv even ever smoking daily for years and experience no ill effects other than boredom the. Few days. Cigarettes that don't even get you high IS like heroin. I was highly addicted , two packs a day. I couldn't quit to save my life. And it took me many years to quit. Cannabis was not that way at all .. What your failing to mention the people is that we have the endocrinoid's system in our bodies, which literally shows that we were meant by nature to use cannabis and we. evolved with cannabis use because we have Endo cannabinoid system receptors… It literally is a super food that creates health and even the largest study of its kind ever at UCLA, proved cigarette smokers who smoke heavy cannabis have a way lower instance of cancer than cigarettes. smokers alone because it causes aptosis, the suicide of cancer cells.. I have seen people come back from inoperable . brain tumors without chemo ,with just pure t h c oil. I have seen it reverse stage four melanoma without chemo or other treatments. I know you would rather pump people full of painkillers and SSRIs when God has created a natural stress, relieving health Inducing plant.. But you are out right lying if you say it is in addictive substance. Smokers who have quit just to get their tolerance down and take a break. And no one has experience what you're talking about is heavy addictive quality.. Any habit that you have good or bad can take a little while to get used to not using but chemically. There is almost 0 addictive quality other than the euphoria being addictive. Because it heals you and picks you up abd brings close to your soul and creator… I literally know the story of someone was on their deathbed with cancer and their dad snuck in cannabis oil into their feeding tube and within a week. This person walked out of the hospital and it's still here to this day. Brave Mckayla, the brain cancer child survivor is still here. 20 years later, when the chemo didn't do anything but fail. And the dead had resorted to the cannabis oil. Quit trying to cast a dark light Things that nature and God get us in that we evolved with and Mini say it taught us speech and to walk on. two legs. Cannabis In solicibin have played key roles in our evolutionary development.. It can do nothing but help your prospects for surgeries of any kind. So why should you lie just to promote your agenda?

Thank you for information 😊
THC gummies cancelled out the Novocain that my dentist gave me.

Yes or no would have made it easier for old people.

Thank you❤
Good info
Thanks for some hard facts!
I love your channel. Love it. But your presentation on this one is convoluted and is going to lose a percentage of people you are trying to reach.
I clicked the like button, but wish there was a ❤ button!
Another speculation by the "Practicing" Medicine ⚕️ cannabis is medicine Politicians labeled It a Drug fyi 🐏🐑

I wish doctors would have the same attitude about all the drugs that they make people take .

IYou did not address the issue. Why should a patient tell the dr. They smoked in the morning? I am not convinced
Brilliant.
I present my medical Marijuana card with my ID for my medical records. No reason to lie to your Dr's.
I smoke weed occasionally l, no biggie. I do know people who are addicted to it, but for some odd reason I seem to be able to take it or leave it.
