I also offer a general discussion on the safety of using cannabis and some precautions you should be aware of. An 11-old-boy died from myocarditis - inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall. Doctors found the presence of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in his system.Doctors could find no other reason for the cause of the myocarditis. It was confirmed that the boy had an an unstable living situation and the parents admitted to possessing drugs, including cannabis.Cannabis use has been linked to cases of myocarditis in the past, but never a fatal case. The report was interpreted by media outlets as the doctors to be making the claim that cannabis was the cause for the myocarditis and death. This was later debunked by both doctors. In separate statements, the doctors explained that they are not conclusive that the death was directly caused by cannabis. Rather they wanted everyone to be aware of the fact that they could find no other cause for the myocarditis. The doctors rightfully made it clear that further investigation is needed to see if cannabis was actually the cause of the death. Moreover the doctors wanted to bring awareness to the caution needed when cannabis is being used around minors or stored in a home where children are present. While cannabis is very safe compared to some of the most used drugs in the world (alcohol and tobacco), safety precautions are still necessary.In this video I go over some of the important details you need to consider before using cannabis:- Cannabis use (THC) can increase heart rate- Cannabis overdoses (although not fatal) are still possible if a person takes too high of a dose- Cannabis is not for everyone - people with preexisting conditions, especially psychiatric conditions should be very careful before using cannabis or just avoid it completely- Extra precautions must be taken before children, animals, and the elderly are exposed to cannabis- CBD Oil has far less negative side effects than THC, but precaution must still be taken as side effects and interactions can happen- Talk to your doctor before you start using cannabis or any other new supplement Make sure to visit CBD School: https://cbdschool.com/ReferencesPediatric Death Due to Myocarditis After Exposure to Cannabis: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1n10w5pcThe truth behind the ‘first marijuana overdose death’ headlines: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/11/17/the-truth-behind-the-first-marijuana-overdose-death/?utm_term=.3ce5cd09c660CAN YOU OVERDOSE ON MARIJUANA?
