Again, compared to alcohol, those risks are not huge, but they're significant. And probably in older people, there are risks of falls just because cannabis does lead to gait instability. then there are suggestions that it may raise the risk for heart attack and stroke in older individuals and possibly raise the risk for certain kinds of cancers.

But that's very, very uncertain, in part because people tend, in some cases, to smoke cannabis alongside tobacco or use it with other substances. And it's hard from an epidemiologic point of view to separate those things.

That is a fair statement. So the cannabis we have today is a triumph of selective breeding. Essentially, growers, mainly in California, develop stronger and stronger strains of of cannabis to contain more and more THC.

And as part of the genetics of the cannabis plant, the more THC you produce, the less CBD there is in there to counterbalance it so that we have more tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical in the cannabis plant that is mostly responsible for getting us high, and less of the CBD that may offset THC's effects.

But just as a caveat, if people switch from near beer to whiskey, they don't drink pints of near beer. So they want to get high, so they smoke enough of the cannabis to get them high. So if there's more THC in the plant, then they'll smoke less of it.

Many of them are analogous to cannabis in that they have a good side and a dark side. So opioids are still used widely for pain control. In fact, they're the go-to drug for severe acute pain, even in hospitals and orthopedic clinics. And cocaine is still used in eye drops and as an anesthetic drug.

so the the fact that a substance is abused in some cases and has ill effects isn't to say that it doesn't also have good effects and there is a medicinal side to cannabis and cannabis derivatives so for example cbd that we spoke about one of the main constituents of the cannabis plant It doesn't get people high, but it does have psychoactive effects and calming anxiety.
