Side Effects of Marijuana use
Many medicines that we use commonly have a number of side effects and medicinal use of marijuana is no exception. With prior knowledge of these side effects, we can help minimize the losses due to it.
Restlessness
Even though you may use marijuana for relieving your pain, it may sometimes give you a feeling of uneasiness. Medically, there is nothing you should do about it.
infarct you should not take any medicine at that time. Just try and make yourself comfortable physically as well as psychologically. Lie down in a relaxed surrounding and play some soft music to diverty your attention from that uncomfortable feeling.
Hunger/Thirst
It is commonly seen that use of marijuana increases the appetite of the patient. But that is not such a negative side effect altogether.
For many patients this could be a blessing in disguise. One should eat nourishing food and not binge upon junk food. Use of marijuana also tends to make one extremely thirsty. Water intake should be proportionately increased. If the patient goes out, carrying a water bottle is a must.
Drowsiness/Insomnia
Though these symptoms are seemingly contradictory, a patient may experience any of the two symptoms. In both the cases, patient should try to relax in a calm surrounding and should not do any vigorous exercises or workout.
Memory Loss
It is not as bad as it sounds,. It happens in very rare cases and you will not lose your long term memory, only your short term memory will be affected. The symptom will disappear after a few hours.
