TU Dublin Kevin St Library: New: American Medical Association journals (JAMA)  collection now available via IReL“Occasional and low cumulative marijuana use was not associated with adverse effects on pulmonary function.

Marijuana may have beneficial effects on pain control, appetite, mood, and management of other chronic symptoms.

“A common misconception about medical marijuana is that if inhaled, it will have detrimental effects on the patient’s lungs. However, according to a 2012 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), this notion is simply untrue; in fact, this study points to an idea quite the opposite: that medical marijuana just might improve lung health under certain conditions.” HTTPS://AGRIMEDINDUSTRIES.COM/2018/06/08/STUDY-SHOWS-MARIJUANA-HAS-A-POSITIVE-IMPACT-ON-LUNG-HEALTH-UNDER-CERTAIN-CONDITIONS/
