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.

  4. The start of something good

    hey every one, i thought id share the story of what got me smoking cannabis. i have only been smoking for about a year. 12 months ago i wasnt "awake" to the way the world really is. someone close to me rolled up one of the sweetest looking j's youll ever see, and offered it to me and i turned down the offer and began to lecture him about his impending death from smoking a class one drug that is comparable to heroin and meth....just ask the government! i was completely against it and was stubburn in my opinion once he inhaled the whole joint, he sat me down and he began to relax and look stoned. 2 hours and two docco's later my opinon was changed to what i believe…

  7. 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…

  9. How has Cannabis helped you?

    I was wondering on the many advantages that cannabis has help the many people on this forum? My story is that it helped me with but not limited to... Minor aspergers Social anxiety Major back pain (From working with the fire brigade) Occasional migraine Help during time of weight loss (you wouldn't think because of munchies ) But when I moved over here from N.Z I had to stop during a period working with drug tests. So to date I haven't smoked in over a year.....

Then the crippling back …

  11. 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…

  13. help with strain/s please.

    I'm not posting this because I like sad stories, I'm not posting this because I feel like telling some bullshit story in order to make you believe I'm a good guy. I'm posting this because I know that the legit people out there, who know weed better than I do, might have the answer. I, or more correctly, my partner, knows somebody who is dying. I have not met this person, it is my partners cousins biological father, and he lives about 20 minutes away. He is a long time cannabis smoker, but is finding it hard to get at the moment as the have been a lot of busts in his circle recently. To be honest, there's alot of it everywhere here at the moment. He has recently made conta…

  14. Using Cannabis for cancer patients

    Apologies if this has been covered already but I'm after some information on using cannabis for cancer patients. My mum had breast cancer last year. Two surgeries removed the lump and she's undergoing radiation and hormone therapy now which is making her sick and tired. I've found a lot of research on cannabis successfully treating cancer so I'm encouraging her to grow. She lives in Adelaide, has a large garden and a green thumb. How should she take it though? I'm guessing smoking it isn't the best, she has really bad lungs anyway. Apart from cooking it, are there any other devices that she could use? I've read a lot about hemp oil but how do you get it? Thanks for any ad…

  15. Recipes please

    I have hunted all over the site and the internet generally to try to find recipes for topical remedies such as balms tinctures, oils linnaments etc Never having used cannabis as a remedy I dont have any idea of what is the best way to use the plant and what quantities are involved. Cannversity has a cooking section but is food orientated and there doesnt seem to be a thread/forum on actual remedies(that I have been able to find as yet) Any recipes/advice would be appreciated.
