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. What do I do?

    Hello and best wishes to all. Might be my 1st post, can't remember. I've had a number of spinal surgeries that has left me with constant pain. The experts call it "failed back surgery syndrome." I'm on the usual junk (MS-Contin, Endone, pain patches, Valium etc.). Having operation number 8 soon. I've smoked bongs for years and years. I'm intrigued by the vaporizer method. So, I bought a machine, followed the instructions and it did sweet FA. Have I bought the wrong machine? I chopped until it was nearly dust, but, it just didn't work. Am I better if staying with a billy (I'm 48 now) or is there a machine that someone could recommend? I'm not into joints, e…

  2. Cookies for anxiety, how much to eat?

    Hi, I hope this is the right forum, I wasn't sure where to put it, but since I'll be taking it for medical reasons I thought this would be okay. I'm hopefully getting hooked up with some marijuana cookies soon for my anxiety/PTSD/depression/etc, I've never had any before. I'm getting them from a friend, and honestly I have no idea what strain will be in them, I'm not sure they even know. I'm wondering how much should I eat at first just to see if it's okay? I know to wait an hour or two before trying more, but I'm very worried about having too much and suffering the paranoia side effects. So basically, how much should I try at first? Just a nibble or more?

  4. Is this just plain stupid?

    HI all, I've found on a Facebook site someone from the UK that mails Marijuana internationally, so my question is: what would happen to me if the package was picked up in Aust by the authorities e.g. would I be charged with Importing? Ok I pretty much know everyone will say that I'm an idiot for buying over the Internet and I'm well aware there's a high chance that once they've received my money I'll never hear from them again, so let's put that aside because what I really wont to know is what are the consequences of ordering Marijuana (one ounce) and it getting intercepted? thanks

  8. Medical Marijuanna - Cancer

    Hi guys, A while ago i posted a thread seeking advice on medical marijuanna. I am back again, as the frist time around i never placed the order. This was mainly due to nerves about QLD customs, and also relying on somebody else to come through for me, which never happened. So the idea died off temporarily. I am back now, and still seeking similar advice. I've narrowed my search down to two seedbanks: Demon Seeds Attitude Seedbank Bonza Which one of these suppliers have a high success rate shipping to QLD? Can anybody tell me from their experience? Sorry to post another thread related to the same topic, it was awhile ago the other one. I feel as if i'm ready to t…

  11. National marijuana legalisation inches closer with new bill

    Medical marijuana would be grown under licence from the federal government under a legalisation plan to be introduced to parliament next week by three MPs from the major parties and Greens. Under the bill, a new regulator separate from the Therapeutic Goods Administration would oversee the growing and supply of medical marijuana and determine the conditions for which it could be prescribed. The bill will be jointly backed by three MPs from a cross-party working group on drug policy: Green Richard Di Natale; Labor's Melissa Parke and Victorian Liberal Sharman Stone. "Let's be grown up about this," said Ms Stone. "We should allow those currently suffering cruel deaths to ha…

  12. Making it go further - supply stress

    High everyone, Please excuse me if this isn't the right section to post in. I am such a hopeless newbie, I dunno what I'm doing. I am so thankful to discover that using a bit of weed every day helps my illness immeasurably - heaps more than some of the awful pharmaceuticals doctors have put me on over the years. I've been having a toke for just over a year now and I'm in my late 30s - early 40s. I've been getting stuff from a mate and he's been awesome and stacks helpful - but I worry about leaning on his stock too hard. He never charges me. I'm learning more about growing my own, but my current real estate situation isn't conducive to a grow room - and waiting fo…

  13. Fibromyalgia help

    My partner has been suffering from fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, for many years now. For a while he thought he had it mostly under control but in the last year or so his pain levels have gotten a lot worse and I'm getting very worried about him. He sees a doctor every few months about it but there's only so much that the doctor can do, nothing has really significantly helped, especially considering how expensive non-PBS prescriptions and supplements can be versus how much they actually help him manage his pain, and there is little left that we haven't tried. Recently I've been thinking about trying to get him some marijuana as we've heard of a few people with f…

  15. Chronic Pain Sucks!

    Hey there! First off, I am an advocate Medical Marijuana as I have a chronic back pain that just won't go away. I have been dealing with this since I started working as an online worker and I sit more than 8 hours a day.
