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.

  1. Having trouble sleeping

    G'day All, Due to some recent events I'm finding that I am unable to get anymore than 2 hours sleep at any given time, and, it's really starting to take it's toll. I have tried Valerian, Kava and Doxylamine succinate ( Dozile ) with little or no effect at all. Even 30mins of exercise a few hours before " bedtime" Having a smoke isn't doing it either unfortunately. I really don't want to hit the world of Benzo's or similar. Can anyone suggest a natural sleep remedy that may help me on my quest to the land of nod. Thank You as always

  3. Budtender coming to town!

    Hey everyone, I'll be coming to the brisbane - noosa area for the first two weeks of may. I am a medicinal budtender at a dispensary here in the states. I am coming over for my wedding in Noosa, my wife's from Melbs, I'll be surfing mostly but if anyone wanted to do an interview about the medicinal movement here and how rapidly things are changing or needs advice anytime on strain selections for ailments please ask! I help out about 150 different patients with their weekly medical needs. I really think Aus needs to have a medicinal program similar to ours, as should everywhere. The difference it is making in the lives of some patients is astounding. Can't wait…

  4. O the pain

    Well I have recently moved to Manly NSW from Scotland (no not Britain, Scotland).Anyway I have been a long time user of Cannabis because of my knee, as I have managed to dislocate it about 5 times causing a lot of damaged to it. I have had an operation to try stop the dislocation, and this seems to have worked (it was done about 2 years ago) but I still get a lot of pain because of the damage i Have done, and there is not much more than can be done to fix it. I used to remedy this by smoking, it really helped take the pain away far more so than the drugs I was put on, and I have used this method for the past few years and its been great.

  6. Cerebral palsy and cannabis

    Due to the fact that my youngest child has recently been diagnosed with mild Cerebral palsy I am on a mission to find as much information on treatments as possible. He is a long way from being old enough to share a bong with me but I would like to keep tabs on any research in this area for future reference . His symptoms are mild (no muscle spasms or fits) so hopefully he is only ever in need of it's analgesic properties and not it's muscle relaxant ones. If anyone comes across related studies or other relevant information please provide a link or description so that anyone else who is interested can have a look too. I will be dumping any credible articles or studies he…

  7. POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

    Hi I've just started the use of cannabis as a treatment of PTSD and would like to add some advice on the subject. First of all I'm not a regular pot user; once a week is more than enough for me, but when I do use it it is such a relief to the disorder and its symptoms. I am on an awful lot of medications for PTSD and although they work for a large majority of the time they don't work all the time. However a single cone of cannabis is such a relief. It takes all the signs and symptoms of fear, agoraphobia, body tingles and others away. It is such a wonderful few hours of escape for me to be without the symptoms of PTSD. How I got PTSD is not important here, however I ful…

  9. Requirements for a medical certificate.

    Well first off, I don't want to hear about any other topic already on this subject. this is more or less my own personal query. I suffer from mental problems which have interfered with my schoolwork for years and prevented me from achieving what i could have, i never take anti depressants, i was once FORCED to try them, and they fucked me up pretty bad, and made me even more unstable. I prefer Cannabis because it helps the body produce it's own medicine, especially with brain chemistry imbalances. Unfortunately, i live in QLD the worst place to be a pot user. I don't exactly NEED Cannabis in other words I'm not going to die without it, but it would benefit me greatl…

  15. 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…
