“The study opens our eyes to the hidden effects of cannabis,' said the lead author of a new study.
People who regularly use cannabis need a 220 percent higher dose of sedatives during medical procedures, according to a new study.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, an ingredient in the plant, is known to interact with the cannabinoid receptors in the body, and that could affect how drugs such as opioids and benzodiazepines interact with them. Mark Twardowski, a doctor of osteopathic medicine and lead author of the study, told Newsweek, “The study opens our eyes to the hidden effects of cannabis. Even though it is now legal in many states and some countries, it is still a substance that has real and meaningful effects on the human body that at this point are poorly understood and warrant caution.”
Asked whether there is a safe amount of cannabis to use, Twardowski said, “No data exists to my knowledge as to whether a 'safe dose' of cannabis has been determined. Those who choose to use cannabis regularly certainly need to be aware that the use may have effects on their medical care, including the doses of medications required to maintain comfort for procedures.
