The Bahamas Medical Association dropped the ball to say it nicely on Gambling Mental Health. They are criminally culpable in ignoring who/paho, icd 10- z72.6 says something about gambling. American Association of Psychiatry co-lists cocaine and gambling as DSM-5 for their equal destruction of personal finance, family, evil inducing moral changes, neglect and preoccupation when comes to children their welfare and education. At a macro level gambling also destroyed Out Island Settlements banking, changed the social and moral fabric and collapse of 99% church activity. Responsible Gaming around the world avoids personal, family and society collapse as described has happened to Bahamian females and with it child welfare neglect, generational educational delinquency, prostitution, break up of families and all bad things. BMA should have insisted on gaming houses with government partners enduring that the help is available wherever gaming houses exist. BMA lost out on Gaming billions for certified Gaming Councilors. As a result of gambling not receiving political and medical mandate as a mental health issue thousand of females will continue to work for the numbers man. Without providing mental health help care gambling is nothing short of blood money.
Marijuana is here like an island wide rain. It is everywhere. Some kids smoke it and many more do not. The crime first develops in parents and guardians being absent which allows peer contacts to have greater influence. Absentee patenting is dangerous as rich and poor have no time for healthy parent child relationships and bonding. Most adolescents smoke cannabis firstly and mist important - to belong. To belong to a group that us giving them attention and saying hey you are cool. Once that comfort zone has been reached among young smokers for a sustained period it is simply too late. Parents never notice the resulting loss of short term memory but school results will show. Neither the always sleeping stress less happy behavior that will follow into non productive adulthood.

It is kind of technical to understand Marijuana addiction because based on the THC percentage, personal tolerance and years of use all combine at different levels. Some Persons realize Marijuana addiction only after they stop use which is followed by extreme anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability and perceived change in personality. Cannabis over at 18% or higher releases so much Domaine or pleasure chemicsls that a person then becomes addicted. Psychosis almost never occurs at THC levels below 8%. 1970 THC was around 3% so the mist weed did was make you laugh then extremely hungry as a medicinal property. The CBD component in cannabis is not psychoactive like THC and is the best natural pain reducer for acute backache firms of cancer pains. The body also produces these medicinal components in the brain but cannabis has a higher concentration which acts also on stress, mood and memory. Because cannabis affects the brain C1 and bodily nervous system C2 it also acts as an aphrodisiac mostly for females. Then as a pain killer it never shuts down nerve X, as synthetic pain killers are known to cause extreme addiction and death. Depending on the form used the bio availability or time, strength and duration the effects is determined.

Based on my Certifications specific to cannabis, Canada, CAMH Cannabis Use in Primary Care. Evidence show that persons use of Cannabis and outcomes is directly related to the percentage of THC/CBD. if the ratio of THC is above 12/14% then psychosis is possible relative to low psychosis in users 1960 - 1980 - 1990. Also, personalities with high neurotransmitter Amandamide and 2AG or natural levels of just high happiness may fare worst with the additional extra release of Dopamine.

Rastafarian make up only 3% of Marijuana smokers. But because of their color designation are easily discriminated against. Over fifteen thousand Bahamians use recreationally and about twenty thousand have severe stress balance issues or daily acute pains.

In the medical Marijuana evidenced based literature, there are topics that relate to after effects on academics, memory, attention span and motivation of upon the young. In The Bahamas, as across the Westernized world structure because of the war on drugs and cannabis classifications it was illegal to engage in research. The governments of the world are bringing cannabis from the dark ages of open
no rules deregulation to regulation so that it could be addressed. We need our own national data on the results of sixty years of open Marijuana exposure and use. The line is drawn, the grid lines are there but need filling on why some kids with great potential land at BTVI or jobs and show signs of anxiety without being high daily. One puff could deliver four hours non productivity and relaxation on the job or during studies. The loss in missed academic accreditation and achievement is incalculable at the national level. Regulation as is being studies by the Brave administration if in accordance with known international standards and warnings.

The Bahamas Medical Association has billions to gain by enforcing Problem Gambling initiatives rather than let the gaming houses run their own program.

This writer has gone too far on ignoring the fact that this human body and mind ails and could be mended to alleviate sufferings of mental and physical pain, injury and death. Throughout history God has given mankind the will and wisdom to seek unseen spirituality to be aware of his presence, breathe air, eat food, drink water or use natural products to preserve life. If a wound is treated with the correct leaf the most ancient if man preserved human and feed animal life. To deny the most ancient gift of service, love and the preservation of life through medicine must be questioned upstairs. Could oxygen if abused kill? yes. So to too much water or food all fir the sustenance of life. Could a blood transfusion or operation save life? Well that has been the quest of civilization. Even dogs like their wounds. Being philosophical about science and religion is dangerous.
