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.

  7. Medical professional identifies health benefits.

    I notice the benefits that may be approapriate for some, select, individual who are still recovering from an Aquired Brain Injury. I personally, am someone who is recovering from an A.B.I. I noticed that if my time is applied and managed appropriately, the benefits of minimal T.H.C is efficient to 're-direct' and address the 'chatterbox' part of the brain (located on the left side of the brain and is very very tiny in sie). T.H.C enables the right side of the brain to address what is necessary and fluff off what is just that...fluff. T.H.C enable the brain and body to self appriciate and appriciate others. Compassion is part of the T.H.C character. T.H.C ofte…

    Marijuana proven effective in treating different types of cancers The Times-Standard Posted: 10/18/2009 Dave Stancliff Marijuana opponents in the federal government are up against the wall and the wall is crumbling.

As myths about this ancient herb are dispelled, scientists are using it to treat everything from chemotherapy-induced nausea to different cancers.

The problem I have is that most recipes call for huge amounts of leaf and tip, where I would be looking to use an ounce of good bud, so would need to ensure that a) I have a recipe that will work, and the strength is right in not being too over the top, or underdone. Does anyone have any use…
