SLEEP APNEA: SYNTHETIC CANNABIS PILL

Post by SilicaArt » Thu Sep 15, 2016 6:14 am

Sure, add another pill to my list. Or maybe just start smoking weed. LOL

Pharmacotherapy of Apnea by Cannabimimetic Enhancement. A small clinical study of 60 people and maybe 60 more added later.

" Dr Malkani: “This new medication, actually old medication, called dronabinol, is a medicine that affects certain neurotransmitters in the brain, serotonin and norepinephrine. And these neurotransmitters go down during sleep, and these seem to play a role in upper airway tone.”

This may be old news on this board but, it is new to me.

Would you take a pill over cpap?

Common side effects of Marinol (brand name):

mood changes;
dizziness, trouble concentrating;
feeling "high";
weakness, lack of coordination;
anxiety, confusion;
stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
warmth or tingly feeling; or.
sleep problems (insomnia).

Not a chance. I'll stick with my mask, thanks.

Me too, Katy.
Seriously, if you want to get high, do side effects really matter?
Sleeping is so much more complicated.

No.

Never take a pill when doing something with no negative side effects will work as well.
