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.

  2. Number Of Places In Nsw Medi Cannabis Trial

    In discussion with a leading cannabis researcher, who has just returned from a conference in Italy, he has expressed concern about the potentially limited nature of the previously announced NSW Medical Cannabis Trial. Announced on the 20th of May 2003, the trial was thought to go ahead by the end of last year. The Government line has been that the complex issues sorounding the legislation is the main problem for the delay. The Governement's prefered option is GW Pharmaceuticals product 'Sativex'. My researcher mate said he spoke to Sir Geoffery Guy (the G in GW Pharma.) who tells him they wont be able to even supply the British market, too much demand, when the get th…

  4. PLEASE READ THIS

    Like many OSA members, I use pot medically. I use it for a condition that will eventually kill me and I know that. I have a will and I'm an organ donor. I thought this was about all I needed to have. I am about to tell you a story, a true story of a woman who passed away last week from brain cancer. She was diagnosed 3 years ago, after having a siezure, with a glioblastoma or a grade 4 brain tumour. She was given 11 months to live and told the Dr's to 'piss off 'I want to be around for my granddaughters first day at school' at the time the granddaughter was 3. She had surgery, radiation and chemo (and some of my medication ), which worked for a while. About 9 mths ago …

  5. Me & My use of Cannabis Medically

    Hey all, So as I sit here this morning I am dealing with head spins (pretty bad at times), sweats, bad nausea & headache, To sum it up, I feel like shit... and the reason for this is because my body is going through Zoloft withdrawal... Yeah, Zoloft. I had been taking Zoloft & Valium prescribed by my doctor for major depression & anxiety, and while Zoloft may have helped initially, I should note that it did nothing for me except dampen all my emotions, and did almost nothing for my anxiety. Initially I admit that it helped in a way, but I remember thinking after 6-8 months "something has to give". Including my Arthritis medication I was taking 10-16 tablet…

  6. Help me pass a piss test for Medical Reasons

    Hi again ppls - for those who remember me.... Life's been all over the place lately and I haven't been here for a while but I do now need some expert advice from my OzStoner friends. I need to see a psychiatrist soon to get a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder as an adult. To get the meds I probably need to make me kinda sorta normal for a change - I need to pass a piss test and not be currently using marijuana. That's a requirement to commence this treatment. And I may have to repeat the test each year to stay on meds. Now the embarrassing but maybe necessary bit - I am 163 cm tall and 90 kg ... if it is stored in fat cells and comes out in urine I am fuck…

  7. Cannabis for post surgical pain, in the ass.

    Not long ago I had a colon surgery for a removal of a mass. No big deal but the pain was otherworldly. They gave me a TON of narcotics, valium, soma and other nonsense. This was in the US. The thing about the narcotics is that they back you up and it feels like passing a brick when you drop deuce. I came off all the crap with the use of some hydro I got there. Ive been smoking for 22 years but its mostly been shitty brick weed from mexico. Im an active guy and love to exercise and this gave me my life back. Theres no way I could be doing what I am without it. All the pills they gave me made me want to eat a bullet. It was like a job going to the pharmacy. I say if you n…

  10. What options are there for medical usage?

    Hello all, just had a chat with my father about a issue that might have some relevance here, but even with a lot of google kung fu I havent been able to find exactly the answer that i'm after, so i'll ask here. I got his permission to do so Dont Worry Bit of background: (I cant include many specifics, relating to his identity, just yet anyway) My dad is a ex-military serviceman with medically diagnosed severe PTSD. By that I mean that he, when not medicated, can be incredibly irrational, violent and aggressive, as many PTSD sufferers can be when re-integrated into society. To treat this aggression (and subsequent depression), he has been medically treated with jus…

  15. Medicinal And Legal Questions

    Hope I'm posting this in the right section. I was just wondering if somebody could explain to me if medicinal marijuana is actually legal in Australia (More so WA). I've heard so many mixed responses (and I did search and couldn't find straight answer). If so, what are the conditions that cannabis is used to help relieve the symptoms of or cure? I have had a terribly sore back for months now from a motorcycle accident and the only thing that stops the pain is.. you guessed it. Would I be eligible for medical marijuana? Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything relevant.
