In 1975, Dr. Donald Tashkin, a lung expert and medicine professor at UCLA, and his team put the highly contested notion, you shouldnt smoke cannabis if you have asthma debate to rest; they studied the effects of smoked cannabis on eight subjects with clinically stable bronchial asthma, specifically monitoring the behavior of the specific airways. As a control, they administered placebo cannabis as well.









Bronchospasm, is the abrupt narrowing of the airway and the primary characteristic of asthma and bronchitis. Researchers induced bronchospasm on four different occasions: first, by the inhalation of methacholine, a synthetic choline that causes wheezing and shortness of breath; second, by exercise on an electric stationary bicycle or treadmill.









Naturally, methacholine and exercise caused decreases in airways. A 40-55 percent decrease was noted for the methacholine and a 30 to 39 percent decrease was noted for the heavy exercise.









Heres where the experiment takes off: After the methacholine-induced bronchospasm, patients were given the placebo cannabis, which produced little to no changes in the behavior of the airway. However, the cannabis with 2 percent THC (the chemical that results in some type of high) immediately corrected the bronchospasm and resulting hyperinflation.....

Good to know, hubby has asthma and we were wondering if it would help him. Now to get him to try it, he unlike me doesn't like the high.
