Cannabis Edibles are Harmful to Health, New Study Shows

Recently, a new commentary has shed light on the potential negative impacts of consuming cannabis edibles which are typically deemed as a safer option in comparison with smoking or inhaling cannabis. The researchers suggest that there should be strict and regular check-ups on cannabis on a state level as well as by the person taking the edibles.

Smoking and inhaling marijuana is not recommended even for medicinal use. Most of the health professionals prescribe cannabis edibles with a particular dosage. The researchers in the commentary, which appears in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), emphasize how people using cannabis edibles should be more careful.

Lawrence Loh and Dr. Jasleen Grewal from the University of Toronto in Canada state that the medical professionals prescribing the use of cannabis edibles should be especially aware of the dosage and potential risks or side effects associated with the drug. For instance, cannabis edibles typically take longer to show effects in the person taking them. Therefore, many people make the mistake of taking more than the needed amount for ‘faster’ results.

Such practices increase the risk of overdosing.
