Why did i temporarily go blind after smoking weed?
"Marijuana has also been shown to be dramatically effective in glaucoma, a disease of the eyes characterized by increased pressure in the eye. Untreated glaucoma often leads to blindness. Marijuana reduces the pressure in the eye by about 25%, providing dramatic relief for some patients.The Institute of Medicine concludes, 'Scientific data indicate the potential therapeutic value of cannabinoid drugs.'" This quote indicates a significant effect of marijuana on reducing pressure in the eye. Perhaps your experience is related to that reduced optic pressure, in your case causing some negative temporary result.
I have a fear of dark soda, is this weird?
I think I drank soda for less than a year when I was little, and then I decided on my own to stop drinking it for some odd reason, but now I am afraid of it. It's probably been around ten years since I've had a drink of dark soda. I'm sixteen right now.... Do you think I should try to overcome this fear? I honestly just don't like the look or smell of it, although I will drink chocolate milk that is dark. I will not drink any juice that is purple, green, or blue. The only color of drink that will touch my mouth is orange, red, pink, or clear, or chocolate milk. All of my friends and family think this is weird, but I don't know if I should try to fix it or not....
Why are my veins turning blue?
Your veins have always been bluish, but when those veins come closer to the surface of the skin, such as when the skin starts to thin as a normal part of the aging process or when there has been significant weight loss, those veins become easier to see in all their bluish glory. There are other reasons that can make veins more prominent, such as a bodybuilder’s bulging veins, or after having a child or two a woman develops varicose veins or spider angiomas (ugh), but there are some that may indicate a more serious condition that your doctor should know about.To delve a bit deeper, veins carry blood towards the heart and lungs to pick up oxygen and then the arteries deliver that re-oxygenated blood to all parts of the body so cells can use it and veins are there to take the blood back around and around and around…. Oxygen attaches to the hemoglobin inside the red blood cell (RBC) and turns them bright red when you look at it under the microscope. When the artery has delivered that RBC to the cell, it grabs the oxygen and the RBC turns pale. The arterial blood is very bright red (even bright pinkish candy red) and venous blood is sort of brick red to scarlet red)Normally, not every molecule of oxygen is grabbed up by the cell from the RBC in one pass, which is why when you stop breathing you can survive for several minutes as long as your blood is circulating. But, if your blood is not being fully oxygenated, a.k.a. oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) is low (normal is greater than 95%), then that makes your blood darker, so your veins will subsequently be darker and more noticeable. By the time this happens, you will be having significant other problems such as shortness of breath, tiredness, heaviness in your legs, etc. So another possible reason your veins are turning blue could be that you are not getting enough oxygen in the first place or not circulating the blood well enough to replenish the oxygen in the blood.Bottom line is, if it concerns you, ask your doctor and he/she can reassure you and follow up.
Is smoking and drinking really bad for your health? I'm 16 and I've been smoking 3-6 cigarettes a day since I was 12, and I am addicted to Kingfisher beer. Are the bad effects going to start showing up as I get older, or should I not worry about it?
I wish I had a recording of my mothers last five minutes of life for you to watch. She died of lung cancer which had wrapped itself around her heart. You know how movies show people sighing when they die and just going to sleep ?Hollywood BS.Try screaming. Try her head swollen up twice it’s size, half of it purple with clotted yellow eyes, fighting to live.She got the lung cancer from smoking since she was 16.She died 6 months before my first child was born. I watched life and death in a year.Sure, smoking is *fine*.
Favorite song lyrics?
mine would have to be Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon "Mayonaise" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a 2nd
