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.

  3. Introduction from new member (patient coming to austrailia)

    Hello my fellow Pro-Cannabis people, I am a US citizen coming to visit Sydney and or Melbourne for possible relocation for work purposes and opportunities. I am an avid athlete in Cross fit, which is a miracle from above, since my neck and back have been fractured from posture related injuries and car accidents and rollercoasters.

  4. 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…

  7. Pets and Medical Cannabis

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever administered medical cannabis to their pets? I have a cat with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Cat AIDS essentially) and I'm contemplating the posible benefits of medical cannabis as I know it is helpful for human AIDS patients with various wasting sydromes. I'm interested in anyone elses experience with this sort of thing. Did it improve your pets quality of life or well being? Were there any nasty side effects? What method of administration did you use? What was your Vet's attitude? Of course I'll broach the topic with my vet next chance I get but I was also hoping to get some insight from anyone whos been in this kind of p…

  9. Marijuana for cramp relief (girls only)

    Anyone else draw a nice warm bath and take a few tokes when the cramps come around? Then feel magically cured even once the high has worn off? Always works for me. I'm thinking of making hash oil and trying to rub that on my lower tummy as an alternate to just getting blazed, anyone know any theories or proven research about this? Thanks

  10. Introduction- new grower with some health problems

    Hi guys, I'm new here and thought I should shout out and get some opinions and feedback. I have a 3.5 year history with illness in the form of chronic fatigue and major food intolerances. I'm 20 now. I can function- study, work etc but my quality of life isn't great and a lot of the time I feel blah. I am on a restricted diet.. I can't drink alcohol or ingest any type of drug. I had done weed before getting sick but not often. About 2 years ago I started doing it more often and realised I could do it without it really affecting my stomach. I think it does affect me more than other people since I have a sensitive system (good for my wallet!). I have used it to sleep someti…
