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. 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…

  3. 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 …

  5. 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…

  6. 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?

  9. 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…

  10. 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…

  11. 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…

  14. old path traveled a long ago.

    Hi folks, I am fairly new to these forums but I must say I am impressed with the site and the wealth of info out there. However I have a few queries I am wanting to get cleared up and maybe get some answers to. I turn 40 this year and have lived in pain for 12 years after a bad MVA and as a result I take large quantities of pain medication. Obviously these meds can cause all sorts of problems and as a result have been doing research on a better solution. This lead me to realize Can could be a soultion and gives me hope to reduce or even get off the meds all together. I have not however had any smoko for 16yrs or so and part of the reason is I had anxiety issues wit…

  15. Marijuana Games Helps Medically

    Cannabinoids significantly reduced pain in cases of people with multiple sclerosis. Marijuana also protects the human body from any kind of nerve related damage that occurs during any diseases. Usage of marijuana as a medicine is not a new thing to adopt it has been around since the appearance of mankind. Research results on the effectiveness of cannabinoids in the treatment of the tremors, muscle spasms and pain of multiple sclerosis (MS) - a disease of the nervous system that can cause muscle pain - are mixed. But its harder to digest an illegal drug as a medicine but it can be compromised by something engaging us with it. Games has the ability to engage people wi…
