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.

  8. Marijuana for post-chemo anxiety

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this site but i thought id post some experience with my recreational/medicinal use of marijuana.

I'm now working with disabled people which has introduced another large amount of stress into my life, and weed has provided the escape that is so needed after a week of wo…

    the other day after having finished a session i went and sat in the lounge chair and started watching tv, i started feeling a rush, a sort of tingling, from my chest that emulated to all over my body, it wasnt completly a tingly feeling, it was deffinetly more of a rush. i was wondering, when this happens, what does it usualy mean. was it because it was high potent bud (more than what im used to) and i had reached a level of smoking, or was it something else i should really look into ps. it mainly focuesed to around my lungs and heart area of my chest.

  15. Need to find a good strain for my Anxiety disorders

    Hi All, OK first up a quick run down of where I am at; I've tried a fair share of Indica strains, and rarely Sativa strains. Fortunately I was lucky enough to get 2 overweight (35g) ounces of the weed once that was by far more fun any shitty Indica high. Now I decided to smoke those 2 ounces medically, a joint a night and maybe more on the weekends. So I would be right for work the next day. Basically the following 3 months were the best 3 months of my life. Anxiety disorders disappeared instantly. Confidence skyrocketed. Got a MASSIVE promotion. Social life exploded. My life improved dramatically. It was fucking incredible. Now back to where I am atm, I am …
