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.

Is it possible to tell if this is Indica or Sativa?
If I had to describe the high, I would say that it is predominantly a head one, with some body high. Sorry if this is the wrong topic to post in, just let me know and I'll delete it. I couldn't find a more suitable topic for some reason.

Moving To Perth - Looking for help and advice
Good day fellow OZ Stoners. I just discovered this community. I will be moving to perth in January 2015. I lived in Wollongong back in 1989 for a year. After that I lived in Canada for 13 years. I have several close Australian friends who live in Canada and a few in Perth. My best friend moved to Perth a month ago and she has a close family member that requires medicinal edibles and/or Cannabutter. She has zero experience with this culture and I am eager to help her out. Problem is that I can't visit her for four months and am looking for a kind enough member to ask for some tips. Cheers Stoners Would really appreciate some help

Looking for medicinal cannabis users
Hi all, My name is Taylah Hill and I'm a journalist from a community radio station in Sydney called 2SER. I'm currently working on a current affairs story about the legalisation of medicinal cannabis, particularly as the Victorian Labor Party recently announced they will introduce legislation for legalisation if elected. I am looking to interview someone in Sydney who uses cannabis for medical purposes that can shed more light on the topic and I guess in a way advocate for legalisation. As I mentioned before it is for a radio station so I will only record your voice - you don't have to reveal your identity or personal information in the story, however I do hav…

Just want some peace.
Hi, I have severe emetophobia ( fear of vomiting) and although I am medicated to control it, this phobia dominates my life and always has since I was a child. i have heard that cannabis is an antiemetic and effective in controlling nausea and vomiting. Is this true? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi
This is sort of a last resort for me I have a stage 2 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and am undergoing radiation, I suffer horribly from side effects and have smoked marijuana in the past and it has been able to let me live my life without suffering the side effects and pain. My partner wasn't keen on me using it so I stopped. We have recently broken up. The content here within this cannabis community is for educational & entertainment purposes only.

Tips: using vaporizer for cancer pain?
Hi folks, My sister-in-law has been suffering end-stage bowl/liver and bone cancer for some months - maybe not long to go now. As the chemo/radio/medication's efficacy wears off, her pain/nausea are escalating, and her appetite decreasing. She got a Volcano classic and some local Tassie bush-grown bud to try vaping. It's only day 3, so she's not sure how best to use it to help. She's ground up the bud, put a thin layer in the chamber, and filled a couple of bags on Temperature setting 6. It's a light vapour. She had a couple of bags on Day 1 and felt a bit stoned but no pain reduction, but slept better that night. Similar on Day 2, I think. I'd be interested in …

Enemies of the state
They spoke to Sunday Night just weeks ago to help create awareness for a miracle cure - then police took it away. Just watched the interview of this couple supplying there son with cannabis tincture, apparently the police raided the couple a month or so after going to the media about there sons use. I got the thought and feeling this was all planned and is on the media to scare other couples to not go ahead of this treatment because this could happen to you, using this couple as an example. I think this has been orchestrated because of the overwhelming support from the public. making politicians act on the problem, because at the end of the day this tincture can be ma…

Too sick to grow- no other treatments for pain in SA anymore
We are in trouble people. many people are, and my wife and I personally. She is in a very bad way. Read this. I know it is long, but it explains a lot (in general and our situation) Please. All of us know peopel who are in pain. Some far too ill to grow. many have no chocie but Ocycontin as they are allergic to other meds. However the Oxycontin formula just changed as of June 2014 for Australia (it is bad, not as good, makes people sick, it changed in the USA in 2010). Do a search yourself. The new stuff is "tamper proof" (contains plastic & other nasties). Have look here. http://www.drugs.com/answers/anyone-else-having-worse-side-effects-from-new-315593.html and …

Medicinal pot for dogs ?
I noticed this the other day from Oz... https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/pot-pets-cannabis-now-helping-dogs-cats-100000888.html I have a very old staffy who suffers from pain in her back legs, is going blind and deaf, and has a large growth in or around her spleen. The vet is uncertain without testing and surgery, but at her age I just want to make her comfortable until such times as I have to let her go..... Many years ago she managed to eat a couple of "medicinal" cookies I had made and left laying around on the coffee table... and I honestly thought she was gonna die, could not walk or move for a good 12 hours. however, is there a way i could give her small …

Medicial Marijuana Thoughts
Hi Guys and Gals, I just wanted to share my thoughts and rants on Marijuana for medical use. I just watched the Woody Harrelson documentary and was astounded to hear that pre-1930's, Marijuana was prescribed by doctors for many ailments and that once the US removed alcohol prohibition, the bastards had nothing better to do than go after pot...then for some stupid reason the US convinces almost every other country to do the same thing...ridiculous considering I read nobody has ever died from overdosing on marijuana! Alcohol takes and ruins so many lives. One of my high school classmates was beheaded when he was drunk and slammed into a tree.. But the other guy in high…
