Title: Smoking marijuana is dangerous. It can dull the brain of HIV patients

A new study has showed that more frequent current marijuana use is associated with a measure of cognitive dysfunction.

Weed smokers, beware. Previous studies have already linked smoking up to psychological problems and increased risk of stroke and heart failure. Now, a new study has linked marijuana use with cognitive dysfunction in people with HIV infection who have an alcohol or other drug use disorder. While researchers at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), and Boston Medical Center (BMC) did not detect effects of lifetime cumulative exposure, the study showed that more frequent current marijuana use was associated with a measure of cognitive dysfunction on the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey cognitive function scale.

Co-author Richard Saitz noted that people with HIV infection have many reasons to have cognitive dysfunction, from the virus itself to medications for HIV infection and related conditions, particularly as they age. “They also have symptoms like chronic pain and mental health symptoms, and use of marijuana, medically or recreationally, may seem like an option to consider. But at least among people with substance use disorders, it appears to have detrimental effects on cognitive function.”

“Few, if any, studies have examined the combined effects that alcohol use and marijuana use may have on cognition in PLWH,” the authors wrote. “Such an understanding could contribute to efforts to reduce harmful substance use and prevent clinical consequences, particularly in an era in which ‘moderate’ drinking is at times discussed in terms of possible beneficial effects, and in which marijuana is discussed as a relatively safe and even therapeutic substance.”

The researchers conducted cross-sectional regression analyses on 215 HIV-infected adults diagnosed with substance disorder, based on the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fourth edition). There were no effects detected of alcohol or past marijuana exposure on cognitive function, nor did there appear to be any evidence for synergistic effects on cognition. Furthermore, neither alcohol nor marijuana appeared to affect simple tests of memory or attention. The authors postulated that such effects were not detected, even though they are expected at the least with heavy alcohol use, because of multiple other exposures and comorbid health conditions that participants had. The study is published in Substance Abuse.

So, avoid HIV. If you get it don't blame us.

A recent study has shown that having an obsession with posting "Reefer Madness" style propaganda leads to ignorance.

Good advice - unfortunately Gatlin is on a Reefer Madness kick this month.

Don't confuse him with facts.

Not a large enough sample to be conclusive.

HIV often involves mental decline even without using recreational drugs.

It's a bogus study. A lot of HIV studies are bogus.

Let’s see how this works for him.

He reads some articles.

Then he reads some different articles that say the first articles he read are unreliable.

So, he chooses to believe the second articles.

Do you think I got that right?

You probably have it right.

But we all make our own decisions based on what we read and know. Then we form opinions.

He was just giving his take.

Then you have the faked twin studies and the studies about a genetic cause of homosexuality by dissecting diseased AIDS patients (less than a hundred as I recall), etc.

A lot of HIV studies [trials] are bogus.
I would need to know how you categorize a lot before I could ever begin to agree with you.

On the other hand, I do find it interesting that:

I also find this linked listing of observational studies and clinical trials to be very interesting.

All studies and trials are related to the research effort to cure HIV i infection, mainly derived from the clinicaltrials.gov online registry.

I would call these listings a lot of positive studies and trials.

None can be called bogus that I see….do you see any bogus ones?
