Title: Marijuana Linked to Narcolepsy

A new study found that adolescents who smoke marijuana fall asleep during class. The study said one in ten teens tested positive for marijuana are said to have narcoleptic symptoms. Participation in the usage of Marijuana has similar symptoms and is linked to narcolepsy.

An multiple sleep latency test or MSLT is used to diagnose narcolepsy. MSLT tests and drug tests are being paired to show that people who have narcolepsy may be narcoleptic or narcoleptic-like not just because they have narcolepsy, but also because they may be using marijuana.

A study with the Nationwide Children’s Hospital found 10 percent of young adults tested positive for marijuana. The ten year study showed that 43 percent (of the 10 percent) of young adults were positive with marijuana had results consistent with that of narcolepsy. The study said that males were more likely to have marijuana linked with narcolepsy or abnormal REM patterns of sleep.

The study consisted of 383 children shows the importance of pairing drug screens with MSLT tests. The study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that adolescents over the age of 13 should go through a drug screening while interpreting MSLT findings and this contributes to the narcolepsy symptoms onset by marijuana.

Narcolepsy is a brain disorder that involves little control of sleep to wake cycles. This is where people can fall into REM sleep very quickly, and involuntarily, often this REM sleep is during the day. Narcolepsy is where people or animals can fall asleep very fast into REM if they are too excited or it just happens.

Another symptom is called excessive daytime sleepiness, or EDS. Contrary to popular belief narcoleptic people do not spend large portion of the 24 hours sleeping, they just sleep more spread out, involuntarily.

The similarities between people who have narcolepsy and drug induced narcoleptic-like symptoms are that they both sleep four to five times a day. Dr. Splaingard, a faculty member at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, added that a negative drug test is an important part in of the clinical evaluation prior to allowing a teenagers to start treatment for the diagnosis of narcolepsy.

The study consisted of 383 children and young adults, everyone was under the age of 21 and everyone and no one under the age of 13 tested positive for THC or Tetrahydrocannibinol, the chemical present in pot.

71 percent of young adults whom tested positive for THC had several SOREMS or sleep onset rapid eye movement. Dr. Splaingard said that improvement was found in the excessive daytime sleepiness symptom after a community drug program. An important find in the study is that marijuana use is associated with daytime sleepiness in some teenagers.

After the community drug program, the participants were drug-free but did not come back for a second sleep study to re-establish findings. However, the young adults who tested negative for drugs only had 17 percent of them had narcolepsy or met the criteria for MSLT, this is versus the 43 percent whom tested positive for marijuana.

The statistics are significant because 43 percent of young adults whom tested positive for drugs have narcoleptic-like symptoms versus 17 percent of young adults whom tested negative for drugs. Marijuana is linked to narcolepsy and narcolepsy-like symptoms.

Marijuana Linked to Narcolepsy

Yeah, I'm gonna have to call a big ole' 'BS' on this. My wife has Narcolepsy, and if anything pot helps her maintain during the day and not pass out at inopportune times.

She didn't smoke before she met me...so I guess that also blows this 'theory' out of the water.

I remember school being so boring that I fell asleep
in class whether I smoked pot or not, quite frankly.

I have a solution!

There is actually a nationwide "Start School Later" movement which advocates letting the little dears sleep in and have schools begin later in the morning.

Just one more example of how our schools are NOT preparing kids for the real world.

Gatlin and GrandIsland are desperate to keep pot illegal as they see their police / welfare state crumbling before their eyes.

Gatlin and GrandIsland are furious and almost psychotic over the inroads Libertarians have made on the drug / welfare / government Police State issue expose. As such, Gatlin and GrandIsland's pathetic ''reefer madness'' will continue in here with daily Hearstesque hysteria hyperbole ''warning'' us of the ''horrors'' of pot---this as they harp and carp about how if only more trillions were diverted to the police welfare state, somehow, some day over the rainbow, they will ''win'' their foul wars on drugs.

Pathetic.

I've stated on multiple occasions that I'm not against marihuana being legalized in all states. I've also stated, more than once, that arresting for weed is an incredible waste of LE time.

You either are knowingly trying to trash up Stones forum with intentional misinformation as a catalyst to attack me, simply because you don't like me... or you don't read anything I post, you don't care what I stand for and just care to degrade this forum with your bias hatred.

Either way, it's ignorant.

I shall completely ignore you. I won't contribute to your plans of degrading this venue.

"Do you think crack and heroin should be legal too?"

Some legalization supporters do, but they only represent 2-3% of the population. They can safely answer "yes", knowing it'll never happen.

A better question is do they favor the legalization of soft "club" drugs -- Ecstasy, "shrooms", peyote, GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, amphetamine, LSD, MDA, nitrous, DMT, and a whole slew of others.

Hard to call for the legalization of marijuana without including them. Same argument.

I favor going back to the Constitutional position we had prior to 1900, wherein the Fedgov had no power to 'regulate' the recreational use of drugs. Such usage was a State power.

A better question is do they favor the legalization of soft "club" drugs -- Ecstasy, "shrooms", peyote, GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, amphetamine, LSD, MDA, nitrous, DMT, and a whole slew of others.

A better question is, do the feds have a power to criminalize drugs? -- the answer is, - NO..

Even for States the power to prohibit, imho, is unconstitutional. States can severely regulate drug usage, however, as long as their regs do not violate other individual rights...

IMHO, the country would be a lot better off if we stopped the war on drugs, let the addicts die of their own stupidity, and then treated drugs as we do booze.

Well, people are being dumbasses now and killing themselves off.

Some believe that even MORE people will start using drugs if they were legal.

Meh, I dont know if that would happen, but making them illegal sure hasnt stopped people from using them. Plus, i myself stopped worrying about someone else having fun in ways i dont approve of some years ago. It's not my business.

Hey, if you've decided to end it all, it's probably a pretty good way to go..

The last heroine overdose I investigated looked like this....

23 year old white male, in only boxer briefs, laying on his back on a mattress and box spring, that was not on a frame, but on the floor. His feet were on the ground and his ass, back and head flat on the mattress. A needle still stuck in his neck.... the heroine overdose caused his lungs to bleed. He violently choked on his own blood. His lungs were so young and so strong, that he managed to spit blood onto the 8 foot ceiling of the room, where it managed to drop back down all over him. He also spit large volumes of blood on the wall behind his head. He was covered with so much blood, responding officers couldn't tell if there was foul play.

The autopsy I sat through... was telling. He slowly died, violently.

On a happy note, he got out of several meth manufacturing charges that he was arrested on months prior. No need for a court appointed attorney.

Now, I'm not trying to spin this for an alleged anti drug agenda. I'm fair and balanced. Most (over 95%) of the drug related deaths that I've encountered, seemed rather peaceful.

I, myself, have seen people in multiple pieces. I've had to look for body parts of children. I've seen things my eyes will never forget.
