Urticaria

Urticaria, or hives, is a skin condition commonly caused by an allergic reaction, characterized by raised red skin wheals (welts). Hives are a skin-disease--itis or --uredo. Wheals from urticaria can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat and ears. The wheals may vary in size from about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in diameter to the size of a dinner plate; they typically itch severely, sting or burn, and often have a pale border. Direct contact with an allergic substance or an immune response to food or some other allergen, causes urticaria, but it also appears for other reasons, notably emotional stress or innocent events, such as mere rubbing or exposure to cold.

Should a Person Drink Alcohol or Smoke Marijuana?

While consuming alcohol is socially acceptable, society stigmatizes marijuana consumption. Prohibition on alcohol ended in 1933 while marijuana use is a federal offense. However, scientific views differ from written law.

Health Risk

A report by the World Health Organization concluded that most of the risks associated with marijuana in aggregate are unlikely to produce public health problems comparable in scale to those currently produced by alcohol and tobacco. The French medical institute INSERM found that alcohol, heroin and cocaine pose the greatest threat to public health, while marijuana posed the least danger to public health. The Canadian Senate Committee published an exhaustive report on marijuana concluding that scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that marijuana is substantially less harmful than alcohol and is more as an issue of public health and not criminal law.
A study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and conducted by the University of California at Los Angeles, found that there was not a positive association with lifetime marijuana use and cancers of the lung and aero digestive tract. Apparently the federal government was hoping for a different outcome since this, the largest trial of its kind, does not appear on the White House website.

More Risks

The journal "Cancer Epidemiology" published a report indicating that even moderate consumption of alcohol, six drinks or less per week, may lead to an elevated risk of stomach, rectal and bladder cancer. The body breaks down the psychoactive substance in alcohol, ethanol, to the known carcinogen, acetaldehyde. The psychoactive substances in marijuana are cannabinoids and mimic the so-called endocannabinoids, chemicals that the body produces naturally and that which are necessary for maintaining health. Alcohol consumption is toxic to healthy organs and cells. Alcohol use can pose serious problems, depressing the central nervous system, leading to unconsciousness, coma and death. It is not possible to die from an overdose of marijuana because cannabinoids do not act upon the brain stem. Drinking alcohol often results in injury and acts of violence. In addition, unlike alcohol, injury and aggression are not associated with marijuana use.
