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. cannabis oil cures cancer

    my wife has been suffering from thyroid cancer which was confirmed to be stage four, the doctor told me there was little she could do since she wasn’t responding to treatment but my brother in law came to our rescue with rick Simpson hemp oil which he said has been helping some patient fight against cancer of various types so we decided to give it a chance, so far my wife is improving perfectly very well and presently she can walk around the house all by herself. I felt its necessary i let others who are suffering from this acute disease that once you have a good hemp oil it can really give one a sound second chance of living.

  2. I have no idea what I'm doing!

    So. I've been a chronic pain sufferer for coming up on three years. I have Oxycodone and Tramadol prescriptions but honestly I don't like either of them enough to take them regularly. I've smoked joints that've been passed around and I've noticed a couple of times that it's had a reasonable effect. Sometimes. I'm assuming different strains are better for pain than others? Basically I know nothing. I don't know how to roll a joint, even. [which is definitely my preferred method of consumption.] SO. I have some questions. 1. Are there better strains for pain relief. And if so, which? 2. How do I find cannabis? I'm in Brisbane. I have no idea what to do. I'm not a so…

  5. URGENT URGENT URGENT

    Hi guys for those that don't already know, Greens Senator Richard De Natali will be introducing a medical cannabis bill to the parliment tomorrow. One thing he has made very clear to us is that many politicians are totally blind to the fact that cannabis has legitimate medical uses and for this bill to have any chance of passing people need to be contacting the,Senators, local members and other state and federal members of parliment letting them know cannabis DOES have legitimate medical uses and urging them to support this Bill. What can you do you ask.... One thing you can do is copy and email the letter below to all or any of the Senators from the link at the end…

  10. Results from using High CBD Strains

    Hi all, I kicked off growing medical Jane about 1.5 years age with a specific target to find relief for a 30 year pattern of Migraine knocking me over every 6 to 8 weeks. Did heaps of research on Marijuana from a medical perspective and as a result I ended up growing out, harvesting and curing 4 different high cbd strains. In the process I started to understand how the high changes depending on when it's harvested and the length it's cured for, I was starting to understand how complex this plant was. However what I didn't find was the solution to resolving my migraine pain but I did discover just how effective it is at blocking nausea which gets to alarming levels …

  12. CFS and cannabis

    Decades ago accidentally discovered that eating cookies gives stamina - used this effect occasionally to better enjoy physically-taxing rock concerts. Didn't think of using it to overcome symptoms of long-term CFS (more than 20 years, unaffected one way or the other by smoking), but gave up smoking in favour of cookies (to avoid lung damage) and accidentally discovered it's an effective treatment for chronic fatigue! Only symptomatic unfortunately, the fatigue returns if (low) dosage is not maintained. No idea of the mechanism, can't find any reference on the internet to eating cannabis being associated with stamina. But it has been working for over six months, and life i…

  15. 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…
