( #Weed, #ImmuneSystem, #BoredtoDeath )
MSNBC just released an article stating that smoking marijuana suppresses the immune system. Is this right wing propaganda because weed has been inching closer to legalization or the straight up truth? Like most articles with eye catching headlines, it seems to be taking both sides of the argument:
Marijuana cannabinoids present us with a double edged sword,” Nagarkatti said, because they can cause increased susceptibility to cancer and infections, but they can also open the door to opportunities to treat disorders where a suppressed immune system is beneficial, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and hepatitis.
What do you think potheads? Do you find yourself getting sicker? Or does “nature’s medicine” keep you out of the hospitals?
I’ll be honest, I just wrote about weed so I could post that clip of Bored to Death. I love Ted Danson on this show!
