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. Looking For Good Bush Variety

    Where do I start looking here? I'm after an outdoors variety to grow in Queensland. After looking over the forums I'm uncertain where to begin. The guide is a bit lengthy and confusing as I'm new to this having mostly used bag seed in the past. I'm interested in aquiring something strong and popular to entertain visitors. Couchlock is ok but I prefer something low on paranoia and happy inducing. Sorry but I wasn't certain where to post this topic. All of the varieties sound good so I'm a bit overwhelmed and would welcome advice from experienced tokers. I've been smoking the same stuff for years and want to try something new.

  6. Complementary Medicines Can Save Youdanny Rose, Medical Writer, Aap

    September 13, 2010, 1:26 pm Complementary medicines offer the potential to shave millions of dollars from the nation's burgeoning health costs, an economic analysis shows. A study by Access Economics has compared the costs and health benefits of complementary as well as conventional treatments for a range of common ailments, from depression to heart disease and back pain. It found cases where a complementary medicine carried a significant health benefit for a fraction of the cost of conventional treatments, or it could pose a cost effective and beneficial add-on.

  7. Sativex

    http://www.fiercebiotech.com/forward/emailref/84299 Was interested to read Sativex has finally got the green light in Britain. Not sure where I stand on this one. Way I'm seeing it, big pharma = big money; prohibition = big money. It's almost like they are legalising without having to legalise. Cake and eating it too kinda situation. But then there's a part of me that thinks thank fk some people in Britain at least will be able to access some relief derived from the great plant, even if big pharma is involved.

  9. Spasms/ MS/ Spinal Treatment

    Hi Crew, Thanks for letting me join this wonderful website I am fairly new to this topic (in a way ) and i'm thinking about using pot to treat myself and make my life a bit easier. Basically i broke my back a few years back and resulted in me being in a wheelchair, but even those i lost control over my lower half i still get bad muscle spasm. When i say muscle spasm i don't mean 'tightness' it's more like chest muscle fits that throw me out of the chair or legs kicking up in bed and kneeing myself in the head type spasms. Leaving the hospital i was on so much anti-spasm medication that i was pretty much a zombie, and i also got the great news that the medication …

  10. Oral cannabis as like snus or chewing tobacco

    So I was wondering would there be any benefit in having a small wad of cannabis in my mouth, has it been done before? I came up with the idea as a mouth antibacterial, and well I just kind of like the taste of cannabis too. Not really expecting to get affected and well don't really want to be toasted 24/7 although I could be interested from time to time to up the amount for more than taste if that was possible anyone know?.... cause I will soon

  11. home delivery

    From his apartment building in San Francisco’s bustling Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, Kevin Reed, owner of The Green Cross, goes about the daily business of running a medical-marijuana delivery service. Reed, an Alabama native with a warm Southern accent, oversees the baking of pot brownies and cookies, prepares bags for delivery, and, beginning at 8 a.m., takes phone orders from registered members of his collective. According to Reed, his enterprise isn't so different from any other operation. “It really is just like running a pizza service.” The emergence of door-to-door pot delivery services is at least one unintended consequence of the cat-and-mouse game between l…

    Isn't it amazing that this doesn't seem to have made one mainstream news source, given it's an Australian study?! http://www.opposingviews.com/i/new-study-m...hrenia-patients Yet this story, another study by the same group, was covered extensively by the MSM: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/...6-1111116525007 Makes ya wonder.
