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.

    ABSTRACT In many Western jurisdictions cannabis, unlike most other psychoactive drugs, cannot be prescribed to patients even in cases where medical professionals believe that it would ease the patient’s pain or anxiety. The reasons for this prohibition are mostly ideological, although medical and moral arguments have been formulated to support it. In this paper, it is argued that freedom, properly understood, provides a sound ethical reason to allow the use of cannabis in medicine. Scientific facts, appeals to harm and autonomy, and considerations of symbolic value cannot consistently justify prohibitions. WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS? A hypothetical case Suppose that I suffer …

  11. Cannabis Science

    Endocannabinoids are marijuana-like compounds that are produced by most animals, including all vertebrates. Quite surprisingly, the endocannabinoids system has an all-pervasive role in maintaining homeostasis (biochemical balance). All living creatures suffer from a common biochemical imbalance, we are all aging. Today, in developed countries, most people suffer and die from age-related illnesses including cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, and cancers. Modern science from an abundance of peer-reviewed publications indicates that stimulating the endocannabinoid system benefits all of these conditions. We understand what patients need a…

  12. Effects of Marijuana

    I am not that naïve and inconsequent young girl that start to smoking marijuana anymore... I am getting into that stage where the hunger to conceive a child is warning me. I was reading a book from the Foresight Programme, and I am concerned about the effects of Marijuana especially in women: “Marijuana’s impairing cellular effects on DNA can result in incomplete genetic information being transmitted to the offspring”. Dr. Gabriel Nahas Cannabis is four times more dangerous to your health than cigarette smoking. It dumps three times more tar in the lungs and five times more carbon monoxide.

  15. Need advice for which strain?

    Bit of background. Never done any drugs. Will be doing some generic weed soon to see how it is. After which I will most likely be confident enough to grow it. I mainly want it for medicinal purposes. I suffer from depression, anxiety and sleeping problems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome). I think it's quite possible that I am depressed and that's why I am anxious and have sleeping problems. It's also possible I have sleeping problems which causes me to be anxious and depressed. So I want something that will give me the relaxation to leave the house and to sleep at night. But I also want to be buzzed and happy as well and be able to do things…
