THC and the immune system

White blood cells are the guardians that protect us from infections are composed mainly of fat. Marijuana thus lowers our defenses and makes us more prone to infection. Hence, the marijuana smoker is exposed and unprotected against viruses and bacteria.

Indirectly does not protect the human immunodeficiency virus or AIDS virus, and moreover in those infected by the AIDS virus the possibility of smoking marijuana infected precipitates the onset of illness and lowering all defenses and organizational resistance.

Marijuana is very dangerous. Unlike alcohol, which generally leaves the body within 24 hours under its soluble nature, marijuana is fat soluble, which means that the psychoactive chemicals are set in the fatty parts of the body. (usually the brain and reproductive organs) and can be detected until 30 days after the initial one.

Tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC) and Fatty Tissues

tetrahydro-cannabinol

THC and brain fatty tissues:
The nervous system has billions of neurons with two free energies (electrical and chemical) that are responsible for all behavioral processes, mental and psychological. Among all the walls of neurons and in the intercellular spaces that are fatty tissue deposits is parked and THC. Neural walls thicken. We studied the brains of two monkeys who smoked two or three “joints” per week (with only 2% THC power) for three months and was found in biopsies of brain that had large accumulations of THC in the intercellular spaces.

Brain biopsies of monkeys that did not use “dope” and the neurons were not thickened and the neural system functioned normally. How the THC affects the animal and human behavior?. In principle it is a nervous system significantly slower. Concentration decreases, distorted time perception, altered reflexes. Peripheral vision is reduced. The eye movements are slower.

Marijuana filled pages of newspapers, on the one hand is mentioned as a drug somehow light and innocuous, is overlooked or minimized its effects on physical health, mental and social. Insidiously mention that alcohol and snuff more damage.

Actually in the last 20 years the brain biochemical re-search is inconclusive about the lasting effects on behavior and sickening.

We will disclose various data that confirm these assertions:

1 – Each marijuana cigarette is composed of over 800 chemicals. It has various carcinogens, including benzene. The tar yield is 10 to 20 times more than the one with the cigarette (responsible for bronchitis, emphysema and general destruction of lung tissue). Marijuana is 6 to 7 times more carcinogenic than snuff.
