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.

Family Complaints of Medical use
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had the same sort of weird responses from family etc... I have a family member that I'm staying with.... Who smokes up daily... But yet thinks I have a problem because I medicate my severe sleep issues with green.... wtf kind of weird is that? I choose to use something other than the proscribed sleep meds which make me a zombie the next day.... Instead I smoke a little, go to bed.. n feel good in the morning... Anyone had any experience dealing with weird double standard prejudice against medicinal use?

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…

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

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…

colorado transplant
Hello All! I am a fresh transplant from colorado, just moved to the melbourne area. (I know......my wife made me do it!!!!!!!!!!!!) Anyways, I was managing a medical dispensary in colorado for about 3 years and have worked with literally hundreds of patients and thousands of strains to help treat literally hundreds of ailments and symptoms.

the DEA has no leg to stand on
Bit of good news here. http://www.rawstory....n-of-marijuana/ Government-sponsored study destroys DEA’s classification of marijuana By Stephen C. Webster Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:46 EDT http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/marijuanaleaf-shutterstock.jpg A government-sponsored study published recently in The Open Neurology Journal concludes that marijuana provides much-needed relief to some chronic pain sufferers and that more clinical trials are desperately needed, utterly destroying the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) classification of the drug as having no medical uses.

What a drag, Israeli firm grows 'highless' Cannabis
Marijuana is an illegal drug in Israel. Medicinal use of it was first permitted in 1993, according to the health ministry. SAFED - They grow in a secret location in northern Israel. A tall fence, security cameras and an armed guard protect them from criminals. A hint of their sweet-scented blossom carries in the air: rows and rows of cannabis plants, as far as the eye can see. It is here, at a medical marijuana plantation atop the hills of the Galilee, where researchers say they have developed marijuana that can be used to ease the symptoms of some ailments without getting patients high. Sometimes the high is not always what they need. Sometimes it is an unwanted si…

Amazing results with FEMALE IMPOTENCE
My inability to reach climax during intercourse is psychologically caused, I do just fine by myself. I just wanted to report my finding. I know everyone already knows here that weed makes sex better, but in my case it was a revelation and an enormous leap forward. I also would add as advice to anyone trying to use it for this purpose: it's extremely dependant on the strain, and there's just no knowing what the hell it is in Australia, unless you grow for yourself. Basically you need a higghh flying Sativa. I have heard Sweet Island Skunk works really well.

Cannibus to help with depression?
What the title states. I've had to swap three anti d's now, this one being Pristiq at the base dosage of 50mg, and when I was on Citralopram I had slight chest pains and my heart rate sped up for the first few minutes, which I helped settle by slowing how fast I inhaled. I'm just wondering if cannibus has a bad rep with Pristiq? Because its in my doctor's notes that I smoke semi-regularly, about once a fortnight to a month, and it's only ever to help me sleep and to kick start my appetite again - nasty side effect of anti d's with me is insomnia and lack of appetite within two days - and he actually suggested I buy some to try and help with the first weeks of this new ant…
