The study cannot prove that pot use in the teen years caused the men to end up on disability later in life, the researchers acknowledge. They don’t know how much marijuana the men used after they entered the military or many other details of their lives after age 18.
Despite the study's limitations, the findings highlight the need for further studies on marijuana and other illicit drug use in relation to possible health and social consequences, the study authors conclude.

The study it find this guy he will be ok

Something tells me I will eventually be disabled as I grow older.

I have seen studies that show MJ harms developing brains. Not so much once developed. But I have never tested the theory myself.

Pot is a drug. No drug is without side effects. And smoking is clearly detrimental to our health. The fact remains however that there are literally thousands of dead, not disabled, but dead, people that did not die from any drug use but from being involved with the illegal distribution. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Gang-ravaged Mexico stuck in weed ban as U.S. opens up
Thu Dec 29, 2016 | Mexican advocates for drug reform are voicing alarm about the country's widening gap with the United States on marijuana legislation, as criminal violence surges again south of the border.

Tens of thousands have been killed over the years in Mexico, on the front line of a U.S.-led war on drugs. The country's prohibitionist approach to marijuana is increasingly at odds with the United States, where liberalization is advancing. California in November became the first state on the U.S.-Mexico border to vote for comprehensive cannabis legalization, further pressuring Mexican legislators to change policy.

Earlier this month Mexico's Senate duly passed a limited medical marijuana bill. But it has yet to be approved by the lower house and critics say it is still far too little. "It's a teeny, tiny reform for an enormous problem in the country," opposition leftist senator Mario Delgado said during the discussion of the medical marijuana bill. "It's absurd that on this side of the border we continue with the violence, the deaths; and on the other side ... this same drug is considered legal for recreational use."

Driven by widespread gang violence, murders are on track to breach the 20,000 mark in 2016 for the first time in four years, adding to more than 100,000 gang-related deaths in the decade since the government began a military-led crackdown on drug cartels. Many thousands more have disappeared. Pena Nieto said in 2014 that Mexico could not pursue diverging paths with the United States on marijuana. Earlier this year, he submitted a bill to close the gap on U.S. legislation. But his own lawmakers have been reluctant to follow his lead.

Starting with Washington and Colorado in 2012, U.S. states have begun to legalize recreational use of marijuana, and many more now permit medicinal use, as does Canada. California, which has an economy roughly twice the size of Mexico's, was widely seen as a bellwether for a shift in policy. Mexico's Supreme Court last year set the ball rolling in a landmark case, granting four people the right to grow and consume weed, and inspiring hope for change. In April, Pena Nieto proposed decriminalizing possession of up to 28 grams of marijuana for personal use, and said it would allow people jailed for holding up to that amount to go free.

Nearly meaningless study. Acknowleding the subjects high rate of alcohol and other drug abuse is not the same as factoring it out. Also how much of the disability might be lung related from smoking pot and tobacco? We have edible pot now and you don't even need to bake brownies.
Bottom line is human beings like to get high. There are risk to that especially when we abuse the substance. But is that any reason for the government to chose for us which highs we can have and which we can't? In fact the risk from most illegal drugs is enhanced by their illegality. Odd that the two most destructive drugs on the planet, alcohol and tobacco are not only legal but suport our beloved megacorps.

First Marijuana Overdose Death Reported in Colorado
November 16, 2017 | In Colorado, a state which has legalized recreational marijuana use, an 11-month-old baby’s death two years ago was determined to be the first ever documented marijuana death.

The report in the journal Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine reported that doctors found THC - the mind-altering drug found in marijuana - in the baby’s system. Furthermore, the baby’s cause of death was reported to be a heart attack. Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, is rare in children, and fatal myocarditis is usually caused by the virus Coxsackievirus, which was not found during an autopsy.

The baby’s death also represents the first pediatric death from marijuana overdose. “Given the existing relationship between cannabis and cardiovascular (CV) toxicity, as well as the temporal progression of events, post-mortem analysis, and previously reported cases of cannabis-induced myocarditis, the authors propose a relationship between cannabis exposure in this patient and myocarditis, leading to cardiac arrest and ultimately death. This occurrence should justify consideration of urine drug screening for cannabis in pediatric patients presenting with myocarditis of unknown etiology in areas where cannabis is widely used,” the report stated.

Marijuana has been linked to other cases of heart inflammation, but those cases did not lead to death, the study’s authors found. “The link between cannabis use and myocarditis has been documented in multiple teenagers and young adults. In 2008 Leontiadis reported a 16-year-old with severe heart failure requiring a left ventricular assist device, associated with biopsy-diagnosed myocarditis. The authors attributed the heart failure to cannabis use of unknown chronicity. In 2014 Rodríguez-Castro reported a 29-year-old male who had two episodes of myopericarditis several months apart. Each episode occurred within two days of smoking cannabis. "In 2016, Tournebize reported a 15-year-old male diagnosed with myocarditis, clinically and by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, after initiating regular cannabis use eight months earlier. There were no other causes for myocarditis, including infectious, uncovered by these authors, and no adulterants were identified in these patients’ consumed marijuana,” the report stated.

The report also warned of the dangers of children ingesting marijuana “edibles.” “Unlike our patient, all three of these previously reported patients recovered. In the age of legalized marijuana, children are at increased risk of exposure, mainly through ingestion of food products, or ‘edibles.’ These products are attractive in appearance and have very high concentrations of THC, which can make small exposures exceptionally more toxic in small children,” the report stated. Doctors also recommended that parents be counseled to prevent marijuana exposure.
