wow. so many issues here. where to begin? i think there may be some miscommunication going on. sepsis is a life-threatening condition that normally leads to immediate hospitalization. people can die very quickly from sepsis so i think it's unlikely your friend is home lounging around smoking weed after being diagnosed with this illness. next there's the obvious issue that no 17 year old should be taking illicit drugs. not only is it illegal but the brain is not fully developed at age 17. no 17 year old is truly able to make informed decisions about using such drugs. in fact your question about whether or not your friend's use of these drugs is essentially "bad for him" illustrates that neither of you know the first thing about how these agents work or what effects they have on your body. no one should take any drug (including prescriptions) without knowing the answers to these questions. lastly smoking is bad for you. if everyone on the face of the earth doesn't know that by now woe betide them. it's one of the worst things you can do for your health can lead to many types of cancer and may shorten your lifespan. i wish your friend all the best. he needs to stop all of these bad habits to overcome whatever illness he has and to go on to lead a long healthy life.
sepsis do i have to stop smoking weed and taking ecstasy? . ok so my best mate just told me he has a systematic blood infection and that it's pretty serious. he smokes cigarettes weed takes ecstasy and drinks and i'm really worried that any or all of these habits are going to impede his treatment and decline his chance of surviving. obviously he should stop these habits because he is only 17 but what i really want to know is if all these activities are going to make his treatment harder. and if so which ones in particular? thanks in advance.
