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.

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..

An anti-cancer info bomb

Up in Smoke !
Well, from the headline..you might consider there is a slight Cheech & Chong motif so it kinda gives away my age. I have been smoking for over 40 years all forms, cones, numbers, dry pipe, pretty much however I could get it basically. As I am now 60 and wish to continue my only one "bad-habit", for some time to come yet (fingers crossed) I started thinking about changing to vaporizers to see if I could alleviate the cough. I , gave up smoking cigs over 25 or so years ago. Lately I have had a bad cough only when smoking, weather vapour or pipe or bong....I was hoping the vapouriser would be something pretty revolutionary but sadly no, and I wasn't impressed when usin…
