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.

PTSD advice please
I was brought up in an abusive home with a father who abused his two boys and I started smoking weed when I was 17. I stopped when I met my wife aged 21. After I stopped I immediately (within the month) started to get migraine headaches. Every week I would get two or three, couldn’t work or see, and pain was incredible. Started to want to die and went to endless medical appointments. To cut a long story short I a, 50 next week and still get them. Doctor just diagnosed me as having chronic depression.

Insomnia and alternatives to prescription medical cannabis
Good evening I have a question after a few decades of shift work I have developed an debilitating insomnia health issue which the doctors are classifying as a major morbidity issue to my health. I refuse to take chemical sleeping tablets after the first week due to them causing other medical problems as well as they make me feel very sick in the morning. This year I have managed to obtain a medical prescription through a local doctor who is specialist in this field, apart from the shocking cost of the medication most nights I am still suffering. I don't suffer from any mental health and medical issues but did use the devils drink "scotch" to assist for many years "I hav…

Great info about decarboxylation rates for raw cannabinoids
g'day all was trying to find out about temps and timings for decarbing kief and came across this very informative thread ... https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/heated-natural-decarboxylation-testing-project-for-thc-high-cbd.1317888/ this fella basically has used his own cash to get multiple tests done on cannabinoid levels during different types of decarboxylation. of greatest interest to me, was how cannabinoids naturally decarbed in tintures at about the 3-4 month mark - making the need for heating redundant. this natural process allows for a full entourage effect, with limited loses of terpene and cannabinoids. this is a list of his experiments, if interested: …

Candidiasis treated by rso ?
Hi, A doctor diagnosed me with candidiasis a few days ago, I have candida spots on my body that appear and disappear after treatment for 2 years, I don't go out much from home while I was active but I never took this as a side effect of the disease until now and I have lost 33lbs since these 2 years. I am waiting to hear from him so I can start treatment and adapt to a diet to eradicate this candidiasis, But I was wondering after documenting for years on rso if it could have a beneficial effect on candida? I hope that some smart and spontaneous advice will be able to enlighten me after not having found anything similar elucidated questions. Thanks https://en.wik…

metastatic cancer and pain management
Hi Helpful people:) I'm seeking recommendations of doctors in the Gold Coast region who could work with my Dad's oncologist and pain specialist to manage his pain. The doctors have been unable to make a dent in his pain since his most recent admission to hospital 4 days ago. They changed from targin and endone to lyrica and endone but nothing is helping. He's asked the oncologist about cannabis but got no encouragement or assistance.
