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. 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…

    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.

    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.

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 …

  4. 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…

  7. Marijuana infused into coconut oil FIGHTS cancer (and other benefits&#

    Now THIS idea has serious merit .......... You cannot help but wonder if the vilification of marijuana has been another plot to deceive the public, just as generations of Americans were deceived about the so-called "healthy vegetable oils" we were told to consume daily... And it turns out those same vegetable oils (soy oil, corn oil, etc) were actually killing us all along! Thousands of studies have emerged over the years showing some of the therapeutic and medicinal uses of naturally occuring compounds in the Marijuana plant. Unfortunately, inhaling the smoke of ANY plant can be harmful to your health, especially your lungs. For that reason, I thought this article …

  8. Vaporisation of cannabis for therapy

    If you have any experience regarding vaporisation of cannabis or other herbs for therapeutic applications please contribute. I have been using a digital volcano vaporiser for nearly 2 years now and have found it to be a useful device. Firstly its german engineering at its finest, not entirely without fault though. There are a few handy tips/tricks when utilising the digi volcano vape and i'll briefly explain a few. The medicinal qualities of a particular cannabis strain based on our current understandings are derived from a combination of the plants terpenes, flavanoids & cannabinoids chiefly. When we set a flame to cannabis some of the active components are lost…

  11. Juicing cannabis for Proctitis

    Hi, first post here! I have recently been diagnosed with Proctitis, an inflammatory condition of the bowels. I have changed my diet and taking suppliments and feel a lot healthier but still have the condition. I have found that others are juicing cannabis and finding it is putting their symptoms into remission. I am new here so not 100% sure of the forum protocols I want to know if anyone is able to give me any advice to point me the the right direction on how I can try and assist my condition through the supply of cannabis for juicing. Thank you.

  12. Pain medication Withdrawal

    Hi folks, I have a question for those who have replaced opiates for cannabis. Currently I am on a very high does of Oxycontin and have heard that you can pretty much half your does due to the cannabis making the pain killers more effective. My question is has anyone been successful with this process and does certain strains make it easier. I really want to get off this medication in the long term as it is horrible. The other question is has anyone been able to get their doctor look at sativex as an alternative as a bridge and if so have you had any success with it?

  13. Cannabis black out, advice needed

    Hi crew, Its been a long time since logging in as I moved to Bali and ditched my daily toking up as I didnt want to be room mates with Corby.On the rare occasion where im in a safe private environment and am offered a drag I will happily oblige. Last night I was around at a friend's villa for dinner, during which I had two Bintang beers. For desert a large joint was rolled with some quality hash. It made three rounds of a table of 5 and I made sure to take significantly less than the others as I knew my tolerance would be down due to having not smoked in 2 months. For about 15 minutes after smoking I felt stoned but was in a good place and still engaging in the conv…

  14. Withdrawal symptoms - irratability, how do you deal with it?

    Does anyone else here suffer from basically getting shitty really easily when they go without smoking for longer than they're used to? It's the same sort of moodiness that I experienced when I quit smoking cigs, it can be just as powerful and at times I need to check myself from cracking the shits over trivial things that I would not normally let upset my mood. I'm just wondering what people that experience this do to deal with it. Obviously the cure would be to stop smoking or cut down a lot, but lets just say I'm interested in alternately remedies at this point, so how do you deal with withdrawals like this?
