Effects of Marijuana in Anxiety Disorder- Still Undefined?
from:Marijuana or cannabis is a painkiller by nature. However, it remained to be one of the more controversial substances during the last century. Proponents of marijuana defend that it must be characterized as a pain remedy. In truth, for several decades marijuana has been sold by the Federal Government practically for that purpose. But the latter years have seen emergence of a host of society problems due to marijuana abuse. So restrictions on the use of substance became significant. Fortunately or unfortunately enough (depending on the view that you support), use of cannabis have gained more freedom these days because of reconsiderations on its effects.
Marijuana is produced from obtaining the flowers and other important parts of the female plant. The manner of ingestion is usually by means of smoking wherein the active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is inhaled. It has medicinal and psychoactive results when consumed which in turn can cause effective effects in treatment of some disease but only on the controlled level.
Why should marijuana be used on a controlled level and why are too few people are allowed to use the substance? Why the prohibition?
One point asserts that the use of marijuana induces the alteration of the brain chemistry. And any alteration that is beyond the normal processes of the brain is unhealthy as much as any substance that may cause the same effect is possibly not a productive substance inside the body.
For sure, you are getting fed up with adults telling you not to try marijuana (or even think of trying). But one thing is for sure, there is surely some ways to link anxiety disorder, panic attacks, agoraphobia and marijuana.
Marijuana-induced anxiety disorder does not cover doses of smaller rates. Rather, the effects usually happen when the person begins with higher doses of marijuana. Cannabis can cause the small part of your brain, amygdala, to reset the normal anxiety level to a much higher state. Research has perceived that when this level is returned to its normal state, the possibility of recovery is high.
However, there have been a host of misconceptions that have been attributed with the use of the substance and anxiety disorder.
The clinical image of someone using marijuana is typically exaggerated that it leads to include extreme depression, loss of control and sensation of becoming crazy, and depersonalization. The truth is, people who have no pre-existing psychopathological conditions and those who have histories of maladaptive behavior only experience these advanced symptoms. Episodes such as these only occur to individuals who are prone to anxiety over drug dependence and inexperienced users who have gone great lengths to dramatically increase their dosage. And even those who are already experienced with the use of drugs yet have taken dosage that is beyond their tolerance.
The most important features of marijuana-induced anxiety disorder are significant and recurrent sensations of anxiety that are directly linked to the physiological effects of inhalation or withdrawal from the substance. However, this is not exclusive for anxiety disorder alone, there may also be developments of other conditions like panic attacks and anxiety attacks as well as obsessions and compulsions.
Apparently, the paradox that has been discovered between marijuana and anxiety disorder is that while marijuana may cause anxiety disorder for some individuals, it is also appears to relieve some from the same condition.
