9 Studies of adult users of cocaine and heroin have found that youth use of marijuana correlates strongly with later use of cocaine and heroin. Children agedtwelve to seventeen who use marijuana are eighty-five times more likely to use cocaine than children of the same age who have never used those substances.
Urine pH. Urine pH is used to classify urine as either a dilute acid or base solution. Seven is the point of neutrality on the pH scale. The lower the pH, the greater the acidity of a solution; the higher the pH, the greater the alkalinity.ecretion of an acid or alkaline urine by the kidneys is one of the most important mechanisms the body uses to maintain a constant body pH. A highly acidic urine pH occurs in: 1  Acidosis. 2  Uncontrolled diabetes.
The pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline (basic) the urine is. A urine pH of 4 is strongly acidic, 7 is neutral (neither acidic nor alkaline), and 9 is strongly alkaline. Sometimes the pH of urine is affected by certain treatments. For example, your doctor may instruct you how to keep your urine either acidic or alkaline to prevent some types of kidney stones from forming.
