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.

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…

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…

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…

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/

Best strain for medical use?
Hi All, firstly this is my first post so hello all, this site looks amazing. : ) i was watching a few doco's on the medical use of cannabis and must say it looks like if has huge potential. they did say in the doco that you really want good levels of all 4 active chemicals not just THC which most ppl breed for. so was wondering what strain would be the best to grow? would it be better to grow a more "wild strain" ?? any advice would be great because I'm a newbie. thanks ssdd

theraputic goods administration
I was just having a bit of a look around and found this section in the TGA http://www.tga.gov.a...-guidelines.pdf According to this terminally ill patients are able to use ANYTHING they need. All other patients are able to use whatever they need as long as they get approval from a TGA official.... Maybe we should be talking to the TGA instead of NCPIC..
