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.

  1. Discussion with doctor?

    Hi, I have Glaucoma induced from medications I have taken for years because of Leukaemia, and a Bone Marrow Transplant I had. I have had laser surgery on one eye to soften the eye and try to reduce the pressure in the eye as glaucoma treatment. And been on multiple drops and medication each day to try to reduce the pressures. I read on here about Tony Bower and his hopeful medicinal marijuana clinic, and brang up the question of Meidicinal THC and Hemp remedies to my eye specialist and was met with a quick 'I don't know anything about it' and change of subject, indicating he wasn't interested in listening to or discussing the idea. It made me pretty mad, as I mentioned…

  3. doctor certificate/permission

    I have always had problem sleeping but it’s getting worse recently. I have seen my ex mother-in-law eventually taking about 8 different pills a day so I refuse to take sleeping pills. I know marijuana helps me sleep since I have tried it a few time before. I will see my GP very soon to ask for a doctor certificate/permission to use marijuana for medical purpose. Since I am new to this area, I have only seen him a few times. My GP is very nice and helpful but looks quite straight. Does anyone have any suggestion how I should go about it please? Thank you very much, mimjess

  8. ADHD

    i was sort of diagnosed with ADHD by a psychiatrist after a suicide attempt a few years ago.I spent 10 days in a mental ward of the hospital.after reading heaps of articles on ADHD the shrinks conclusion seemed to gell with me.I suffered impuslive behaviour,actions,speech etc was disruptive at school etc.Teachers and parents tried to belt it out of me to no avail. As a teenager my behaviour was the same,fighting drinking drug taking,real risk taking behaviours which continued into my adult life.I really should have died young or ended up in jail after certain instances.In hindsight cannabis actually had the opposite effects on my behaviour by relaxing me,making me laugh…

  10. Cannabis As A Medicine - (2011 Documentary)

    Found this one through the Hemp Embassy ... (Great work there btw! ... Quite the resource now ) Anyhoo .. I couldn't see it posted anywhere here after a little search ... So here it is : Cannabis As A Medicine <--- Can Watch It There (Might take a few Mb's tho) It's a pretty decent collaboration with Only Doctors and Experts discussing the Numerous Medical Benefits of Cannabis. There needs to be a whole lot more of these types of Doco's. Good to hear Dr. Tashkin Summing up all of his studies (from over 30yrs). This is something I wouldn't mind giving to my Old Man to watch because it's straight to the point and based in many facts and science. Likewize maybe to…

  11. Treating Epilepsy with Cannabis

    [/size Hi, this is my first post - thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and sincerely grateful to anyone who can help. I see there have been previous threads on the topic of treating epilepsy with cannabis. I would be great to read some updates on the continued and long term use of cannabis to prevent seizures. My 29 year old son has had epilepsy for the past 10 years. He has never taken conventional (??) medication - his doctor and I considered the potential costs/side effects were too risky given he had infrequent seizures. Sadly, the frequency of seizures has increased this year and I now have no choice but to administer some kind of anti-epileptic treatment…

  12. Mr Bower will be giving away his medical cannabis

    Mr Bower will be giving away his medical cannabis next Tuesday 23rd August from 11 am outside Parliament House in Sydney and already has many supporters and patients promising to be there. We have watched Tony help and heal people for years and we feel he’s a man of great integrity and deserves support. We will ask the Premier to review the ‘drug war’ and place it on the political agenda again. It’s in the news every day but rarely questioned for effectiveness. Mark Standen and the London gang riots are both consequences of the dismally failing drug war. http://www.nimbinmardigrass.com/images/EmbassyOne.jpg http://mullawaysmedi...annabis.com.au/
