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.

It was great for rec, but after a while me and the lads drifted more toward drinking.

  3. Medical usage of Marijuana

    Over the years, alternative medicine has become a popular approach to relieving everything from back pain to depression.

  11. My experience with Marijuana for depression and anxiety

    Hi Everyone. I am a long term sufferer of problems with anxiety and depression, and I thought I would post my experiences about how marijuana seems to interact with my "conditions". I was first hospitalized for what my doctors said was " a major depressive episode" when I was 13. after my mum died and various other disasters happened in my life. Various doctors have diagnosed me as suffering from depression as well as "dysthymia" which is a sort of low grade, persistant long term depression. Also from around the age of 21 I develop serious problems with anxiety, and had many years where I was quite neurotic and plagued by constant panic attacks, some lasting for h…

  15. any idea of approximate ratios?

    I'm making some hash. Going to be using an ISO quick wash to do the oil, and mixing the finished product with dry seived trichs to get a nice putty hash. I'm just curious as to what ratios to expect from say, one ounce of trim for oil, and one ounce of bud for trichs. Using the Afghan hermies from the last grow, tried to smoke a nug, but missed a seed and had the cone explode in my face, the smouldering shell casing landed on my eyelid and burnt half me eyelash. Decided to hash the lot not long after. Naycha, I hope you reply to this one, your knowledge on extracts on this site is second to none. If any one has a better oil method, beside butane extraction, do tell. Cheer…
