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. 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?

  2. Molecular biologist explains how THC kills cancer completely

    By Christina Sarich | Natural Society From Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, Dr. Christina Sanchez has been studying the anti-tumor effects of THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis, for over a decade. She delivers sound information that explains exactly how THC kills cancer cells entirely – without adverse effects to healthy cells. Her research is an addition to other’s work, such as British scientist, Wai Liu, an oncologist at the University of London’s St. George’s medical school. Liu’s research also reveals how THC has ‘potent anti-cancer activity,’ and can significantly ‘target and switch off’ pathways that allow cancers to grow. Liu points out th…

  3. Obtaining oil

    Hi all, I'm a newbie here and am trying to assist someone in obtaining some hash oil to treat someone with sever neurological issues (severe autism, seizures, amongst other things). Whilst I'm able to obtain sufficient product to make the oil for him, due to my circumstances I am unable to do so (regardless, the process sounds scary to me! Hah) I've tried contacting Mullaways with no success. Whilst I am close to places like Nimbin I'm aware I'm not going to be able to just wonder down the street and purchase it... I have looked up butter recipes but not only can he not eat dairy, I'm unsure if the strength will suffice. I've always been a smoker (osteoarthritis i…

  5. Dietary Guidelines for Cancer Patients Using Cannabis Treatments

    Dietary Guidelines for Cancer Patients UsingCannabis Treatments Given the complexity of the topic and the multiplicity of opinions on the subject, it is likely these will not be the last words written on the subject of diet and cancer. However, what I will attempt to do is briefly describe the major schools of thought, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. Firstly, amongst knowledgeable people there is concensus that the quality of the diet is primary in the prevention of the cancer diseases and critical in their management. The Gerson, Wigmore and Budwig schools of thought all have merit. Recent developments in the understanding of human biochemistry will …

  7. Obtaining Medical Cannabis Oil via Nimbin?

    Hello, For the past 5 months I've been suffering from dizziness and an ear infection that feels like is in both ears. I can't do much because I feel like I am going to pass out everyday, my ears always feel blocked, not with wax but an inflamed feeling, I can hear my pulse in my ears, and there is tension in my temples that leads all the way down to my chest. It can be very hard for me to goto sleep at night. A local doctor told me my right ear was infected and prescribed me drops, but being the paranoid person I am I decided not to use them. I have tried many other things to help naturally cure my infection and nothing has worked and I feel like it's getting worse. I k…

  8. Cannabinoids

    Hi, I am a newby to anything to do with cannabis. I am interested in it purely for medical reasons as I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis, fibroids and tumors (which are benign so far). There is obviously a major imbalance in my system that I have clearly had since my teenage years and western medicine doesn't have a clue how to remedy it. My research indicates that cannabanoids (CBD) can act as an anti-inflammatory, but not really sure if they would help with the tumors. Just wondering if anyone in the forum has used a CBD dominant strain to treat such a disease?

  11. Medical MJ withdrawl

    Gday, Ive been using cannabis to manage depression and anxiety. One of the directives was that I had to be able to manage the quality control, wich is the Dr way of saying grow dont buy. The past ten years have been a living hell. I quite literally needed to anebriate myself to be able to deal with the pile of shit the universe dished up, what doesnt kill you makes you stonger? Not sure about that. I feel very broken. I am not the man of motion and means I used to be. I was the guy that organised the shit that made things happen; and I feel like someone has taken a hit out on my insides. Ive been robbed. Shot in the head, crushed from on high and maybe this arrogant SOB…

  12. Pain Relief Usage

    Hi, I am a Total Newbie when it comes to the Blessed Weed, (As the following post will indicate) and I am kinda embarrassed at the naivety of what I do/did know until lately (from my sons, and this Site). I have recently been introduced to The benefits of "Medicinal Herbage", and do I find that it does have a marked effect in reducing pain levels, and I would really like to cut back on the large amount of Controlled Medication I am on, BUT, I have NO idea of what would be the best strain to try and replace some of the S8 Narcotic Meds I have to currently have to use.. I don't know if it is OK to put amounts or name of this type of medication in a post, so for now, unt…

  13. Insomnia and strains that help

    Howdy all So I suffer insomnia pretty severely. Most nights I get between 90 mins and 2.5 hours sleep. The rest of the time I lay there tossing and turning trying to sleep. My insomnia is eased by a cocktail of sleeping tablets and muscle relaxants but the next day it renders me useless for driving and sometimes I can't even hold a conversation because my head is so scattered and strange. HOWEVER I have noticed a change to my sleeping patterns since becoming a daily smoker. Depending on the quality of weed I can get my hands on, my quantity of sleep is greatly improved. No struggle to sleep! My eyes are closing before my head even hits the pillow. That hasn't hap…
