Dosage: Not covered (AHP).“Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). Contraindicated in pregnancy except in assisting delivery (KEB). Potency of vasicine may be accentuated with piperine. Extracts (Malabar Nut) — Leaves contain the quinazoline alkaloids deoxyvasicine, vasicine, and vasicinone; the latter two are respiratory stimulants. At high doses vasicine protects against histamine-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs. Its autooxidation product, vasicinone, had bronchodilatory activity in vitro and in vivo, and relaxes the tracheal muscle in vitro. Vasicinone is more potent than vasicine with antiasthmatic properties comparable to (NOTE: hype literature often uses the word comparable to mean can be compared to, not necessarily meaning equal to) disodium cromoglycate. Vasicinone is reportedly synergetic with vasicine on bronchodilation and ciliary movements. Their 1:1 mix is more bronchodilatory and antagonized histamine-induced bronchoconstriction than vasicine alone or theophylline. The cardiodepressant effect activity of vasicine was normalized by vasicinone. Flowers contain the antiasthmatic quercetin.

Dosage: Class 2a, 2b, 2c, 3. Canadians do not allow its use as a nonmedicinal ingredient for oral use products (AHP). In too-large doses, an irritant poison, causing muscular weakness and coma, particularly injurious to eyesight, even causing blindness. Other symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vertigo, delirium, tremors, convulsion, and cardiac or respiratory failure. Allergenic in some and can be fatally poisonous if misused. It should be used only by prescription from a doctor, and I doubt many doctors will prescribe it (CRC). Contraindicated in anemia, cardiopathy, diabetes, hepatosis, and nephrosis (PH2).

Dosage: “Smoking cannabis causes bronchosis and can induce squamous metaplasia and bronchial tumors.†A cannabis cigarette generates ca. five times more carboxyhemoglobin than a tobacco cigarette. Cannabis is fetotoxic. Exposure to cannabis in utero may cause a 10-fold increase in childhood leukemia risk. It can trigger acute psychotic reactions in schizophrenia, and increases risk of new schizophrenia 6-fold. Cannabis smoking impairs learning and short-term memory, persisting for perhaps several weeks. Cannabis has been implicated in many road accidents and some air and rail accidents (Doyle and Spencer, 1995). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). Smoking quickly leads to euphoria with exaggerated sensuality, with alterations in space and time perception, and acoustical, sensory, and visual hallucinations, lasting 2–3 hours in higher doses. Although rarely reported, there are occasional acute poisonings with symptoms including cardiopathy, hacking cough, lacrimation, nausea, numbness, and vomiting. Chronic abuse may lead to apathy, bronchosis, impotence, laryngitis, and psychic decline. Instances of death “are very rare†(PHR). Smoking suppresses the luteinizing hormone in women.
