MEDICINAL CANNABIS WARNING / DISCLAIMER

There is no pharmacological free lunch in cannabis or any drug. Negative reactions can result. A small percentage of people have negative or allergic reactions to marijuana. Heart patients could have problems, even though cannabis generally relieves stress, dilates the arteries, and in general lowers the diastolic pressure. A small percentage of people get especially high heart rates and anxieties with cannabis. These persons should not use it. Some bronchial asthma sufferers benefit from cannabis; however, for others it may serve as an additional irritant.

  3. Diabetes - and Cannabis, my experience

    A few short months ago I decided to start growing MJ for my personal health needs.. You see i have a brain tumour, it is slow growing but causes occasional seizures. I also have some anxiety issues and insomnia. In short i was not good. I planted white widow, a k47 , lowryder. Since I harvested and started medicating, my life has totally turned around. First thing I noticed was that i slept a full night for the first time in years. My anxiety was significantly reduced and I just felt healthier. But the big shock was to come...you see as a hyperglycaemic type 2 diabetic who has been taking 80 units of insulin a day, I swear that I have only got my blood sugar levels to …

  7. Cannabis oil colon cancer

    With stage 3 colon cancer and no additional treatments being offered due to a very bad reaction to my first chemo dose in 5 years and a perforation in my bowel I am looking as using cannabis oil or cannabis tincture. My story is that I was diagnosed with colon cancer 5 years ago had chemo and radiation therapy for 3 months with my tumour shrinking back to almost nothing but instead of giving me another round of chemo the doctors told me no and wanted to cut me up and put me on a colostomy bag which I don't want as I had a friend do through the same and ended up in a lot of pain and died within a few months. So I changed my diet and started taking a lot of herbal suppleme…

  9. How to deal with the munchies

    I know this will be begging for humorous replies, and I will enjoy reading them, but it is a serious question as this is an aspect of cannabis use that can have a negative medical impact, just hope this is the appropriate section for it. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge on ways of combatting/avoiding the munchies, preferably not involving pizza and a crate of Tim Tams. I'm not proper overweight, but I am dr advised overweight and struggling to maintain my level, let alone lose weight, and I have other medical issues that are affected by my weight. I make up for night time munchies to some degree by not eating much through the rest of the day, but spending ti…

  10. What's your problem?

    Hey guys and girls, I am just curious as to what problems and or conditions you may have or had that cannabis helps / helped with. I'll tell you a bit about me. So I'm 31 years old and I have been a sufferer of depression and OCD for a looooooooong time. Docs have classed me as having severe depression and I have been on all kinds of meds, most of which make me worse but I'll get to that later. I have been suicidal and a self harmer with my last being about a month or so ago when I cut my leg a few times whilst taking lots of pills and lots of alcohol. It was going to be the day that I took my life but at the last minute I couldn't do it. It's a hard thing to try …

  11. Anyone with using Marijuana to relieve Migraines?

    Hello I've suffered from migraines for about thirty years and nothing i've tried cures it. So does anyone here have actual experience of using MJ to relieve Migraines? If yes what is your advise re dosage, type e.g. More THC, CBN etc or anything relevant. I must admit to being a bit of a sceptic re medical MJ, my experience with MJ is that it tends to increase how you're feeling e.g feeling happy then you'll be very happy, feeling sad then you'll feel very sad etc Any comments from people that's actually tried this will be appreciated. Thanks
