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. help with strain/s please.

    I'm not posting this because I like sad stories, I'm not posting this because I feel like telling some bullshit story in order to make you believe I'm a good guy. I'm posting this because I know that the legit people out there, who know weed better than I do, might have the answer. I, or more correctly, my partner, knows somebody who is dying. I have not met this person, it is my partners cousins biological father, and he lives about 20 minutes away. He is a long time cannabis smoker, but is finding it hard to get at the moment as the have been a lot of busts in his circle recently. To be honest, there's alot of it everywhere here at the moment. He has recently made conta…

  2. Using Cannabis for cancer patients

    Apologies if this has been covered already but I'm after some information on using cannabis for cancer patients. My mum had breast cancer last year. Two surgeries removed the lump and she's undergoing radiation and hormone therapy now which is making her sick and tired. I've found a lot of research on cannabis successfully treating cancer so I'm encouraging her to grow. She lives in Adelaide, has a large garden and a green thumb. How should she take it though? I'm guessing smoking it isn't the best, she has really bad lungs anyway. Apart from cooking it, are there any other devices that she could use? I've read a lot about hemp oil but how do you get it? Thanks for any ad…

  3. Recipes please

    I have hunted all over the site and the internet generally to try to find recipes for topical remedies such as balms tinctures, oils linnaments etc Never having used cannabis as a remedy I dont have any idea of what is the best way to use the plant and what quantities are involved. Cannversity has a cooking section but is food orientated and there doesnt seem to be a thread/forum on actual remedies(that I have been able to find as yet) Any recipes/advice would be appreciated.

  5. Soma: a recipe?

    Soma: This was my suspicon: There is more than one active component plus I think they brewed it with snake venom, wich acts like a cold temp catlyst for a repening of the cocktail. Remnants of ephedra, poppy and mostly cannabis was also found in the white sediment stuck to the sides of ancient pots*. I dont know much about Ephedra or its active ingredient, however both cannabis and Opium are ripend. So a completing of this procees maximising the potenial of the Herbs. Soma: Take a large amount of cannabis crush the juice out of the bud, milking all the trichromes and the remaining THCv,a. Filter this in a ceramic vessel with some wool stuffed ina hole ate the bottom act…

  6. Medical MJ and Me - My Christmas Miracle

    Hi Everyone! It has been a very long time between posts. I have been very unwell for quite a while, but have a story to share.

Basicly I worked and was worked to breaking point. On "D" day, I was working as normal before I had to go and prepare for a stocktake. At 10am I s…

    The wife and I have medical problems between us. I have had discs removed from lower back and neck and have had bone graft fusion on the neck recently. I also have a duodenal ulcer from my earlier drinking days and have now been diagnosed with emphysema. The wife suffers from Chron's disease, has Fibromyalgia syndrome, has had lower back fusion and also has Arachnoiditis from the surgery.
