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.

Soma: a recipe?
Soma: This was my suspicon: There is more than one active component plus I think they brewed it with snake venom, wich acts like a cold temp catlyst for a repening of the cocktail. Remnants of ephedra, poppy and mostly cannabis was also found in the white sediment stuck to the sides of ancient pots*. I dont know much about Ephedra or its active ingredient, however both cannabis and Opium are ripend. So a completing of this procees maximising the potenial of the Herbs. Soma: Take a large amount of cannabis crush the juice out of the bud, milking all the trichromes and the remaining THCv,a.

Medical MJ and Me - My Christmas Miracle
Hi Everyone! It has been a very long time between posts. I have been very unwell for quite a while, but have a story to share.

helps heaps
The wife and I have medical problems between us. I have had discs removed from lower back and neck and have had bone graft fusion on the neck recently. I also have a duodenal ulcer from my earlier drinking days and have now been diagnosed with emphysema. The wife suffers from Chron's disease, has Fibromyalgia syndrome, has had lower back fusion and also has Arachnoiditis from the surgery. We both have nature's gift to thank for making life a bit more bearable these days.

I smoke aproximately .5g to .8g of cannabis per day, and have been since I was diagnosed with my injuries. I decided myself thr…

Marijuana Compound Treats Schizophrenia with Few Side Effects: Clinica
A compound found in marijuana can treat schizophrenia as effectively as antipsychotic medications, with far fewer side effects, according to a preliminary clinical trial. Researchers led by Markus Leweke of the University of Cologne in Germany studied 39 people with schizophrenia who were hospitalized for a psychotic episode. Nineteen patients were treated with amisulpride, an antipsychotic medication that is not approved in the U.S., but is comparable to other medications that are. The rest of the patients were given cannabidiol (CBD), a substance found in marijuana that is thought to be responsible for some of its mellowing or anxiety-reducing effects. Unlike the main i…
