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.

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 …

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…

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.

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?

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…

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?

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…

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…

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 …
