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.

  1. Where do you start?

    Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if I am allowed to post here, so my apologies if this is against the rules. I wanted to start this thread, for some advice on where to get started.

  2. Cannabutter in caps?

    Hi All, My girlfriend suffers from major headaches due to a small tumor. Her hands shake heaps now when she starts to get them. From the cannabutter of course I have made many things but she hates being stoned. One day thinking about the temps that I use for the cannabutter, I figured most of the THCA was still there and not converted to THC as that would happen in the cooking process. So we have been trying just the butter in caps. The butter has been made from trash, so leaf and steam mainly with bud trimmings and small budlets. Its working wonders!! Getting rid of the headaches and even bringing back her sex drive! (YAY for me ) but also stops her hands from…
