Title: MARIJUANA USE IS LINKED TO INCREASED SUICIDE RISK

Marijuana-related suicide is a controversial topic because other websites include commenters who claim marijuana saved their lives. Pot interferes with the reward center of the brain, just like cocaine, alcohol and heroin. So when someone dependent on the drug doesn’t have it, their depression or anxiety becomes stronger than previously. After prolonged use, the brain eventually doesn’t function as well.

For this reason, it’s much wiser to rely on yoga, counseling, walking, and other exercise for depression and anxiety. (Others will say that anti-depressants are safer, although we won’t actually endorse them, and don’t think they’re always necessary.)

Marijuana increases the risk for psychosis more than any other drug. Marijuana is not the panacea the pot industry wants you to believe.

What Conditions Increase Suicide Risk?

Daily marijuana use below age 18 is connected to 7x the risk of attempted suicide before age 30.

In today’s world, students have huge problems and challenges even if they don’t abuse substances. Marijuana is the most likely drug of abuse for teens. Any substance abuse –marijuana, alcohol, opiates, other drugs or a combination – generally makes the depression more difficult to overcome.

The town of Pueblo, Colorado has had an alarming trend of suicides among its teens, at least five this year. Although local officials link these deaths to bullying, Pueblo is infiltrated with marijuana and other drugs. Dr. Steven Simerville, head of pediatrics at a Pueblo hospital, has spoken about the connection between marijuana and teen suicide. In October, 2016, he said that all but one of teens who attempted suicide had THC in their toxicology reports.

A few years ago studies showed that 28% of all high school students are depressed. There are plenty of reasons for teens to be depressed in this society: hormonal change, social pressure, relationships and academics. The social media adds a layer of complication to the problem with cyber bullying. When a teen becomes an adult, additional challenges emerge, and for some, entry into adulthood is jolting.

Family relationships and community connection are important. With support systems, many youth go through the rough patches and come out stronger. It’s a reason that government needs to protect our youth, educate against marijuana and stop legalization.

Suicide is Increasing Above National Rate in Colorado

The opposite is occurring in Colorado. Suicide rates in Colorado have reached all- time highs, according to a recent report by the Colorado Health Institute. Each one of Colorado’s 21 health regions had a suicide rate higher than the national average.

Those old enough to go into dispensaries can see how the pot industry advertises marijuana to treat depression or anxiety. Dispensaries prey on the vulnerable. For veterans and those without a job, it’s hard to resist.

When the pot industry tells us that “no one ever died from marijuana,” they’re being dishonest. There’s a popular strain of marijuana called Purple Suicide. There’s also a line of vape pens called Suicide Girls, specifically marketed for using honey/hash oil. Makers of the vape pens and marketers of Purple Suicide are onto something: marijuana use increases the suicide risk.

When they assert the numbers of those who die from alcohol each year, please ask who is tracking deaths from marijuana. Maybe it is time for the CDC to start tracking marijuana-related deaths. (2 images)

MARIJUANA USE IS LINKED TO INCREASED SUICIDE

MARIJUANA USE IS a form of deferred suicide but people using it don't realize it because of the temporary high.

The article isn't as ridiculous as its critics.

For the most part I agree with this article. Adolescent minds are very different than adult minds in that they are still developing the pathways between the amygdala and the cerebrum -- the emotions and the cognitive function. In adults this development is abated, although activity continues.

MJ is an analgesic that inhibits the pathway between those major components of the mind. Adolescents need to experience the process of learning why certain emotions are provoked by certain stimuli. True correlations between cognition and emotion are beneficial -- signals for go or stop, or proceed with caution. False correlations need to be identified and discarded.

The healthy "well adjusted" 16-17 year old has been through this process, usually with the help of capable parents and adult influences. Those who are have the least help generally have the most to lose by numbing their emotional reactions and so not developing coping skills. It's like taking a strong painkiller for a broken leg then not getting it treated. They can walk around while on the analgesic until it wears off, and then they are in worse shape because the damage has gotten worse.

Adolescents deeply experience the dynamic between competition and fitting in. When their emotional development falls behind -- they are not competitive developmentally -- their anxiety (emotional pain) increases because they no longer fit in. This becomes a vicious cycle of pain -- analgesic -- retarded development -- pain.

Adult minds are in a much different stage. Where they have experienced traumas, including the adolescent traumas associated with the process described above, but also any other trauma from childhood or young adulthood, they have worn pathways for their cognitive-emotional responses. When these responses are themselves contributing to continued trauma and emotional pain, an analgesic can be the best thing for temporary relief, so long as it is in conjunction with efforts to rework those amygdala-cerebral pathways; developing new cognitive understanding of the traumas they have been through and readapting their emotional responses.

The author above suggests, "yoga, counseling, walking, and other exercise for depression and anxiety", which is fine. What she is missing is that to get moving to yoga or walking, etc., the analgesic effects of good MJ can be a godsend for adults. This is because depression and anxiety are inhibitors, inhibiting activity because the person can not generate a positive emotion related to any activity, and may be suppressing rage at the pain they have experienced which makes them afraid of themselves. MJ is one of the best substances for soothing that pain without completely erasing inhibitions. (Prosac wipes out inhibitions, but leaves the pain, so people are literally walking time bombs depending on the quality of their developmental help).

Enough for now.

What a ridiculous article.

These mothers of suicides don’t think the article is ridiculous. .

But you go ahead and think that because what you think doesn’t matter.
