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. Marijuana proven effective in treating different types of cancers

    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. The feds have fought marijuana use for decades, disregarding its medicinal applications, in a senseless war against the herb. The demonized killer weed is turning out to be anything but that. As myths about this ancient herb are dispelled, scientists are using it to treat everything from chemotherapy-induced nausea to different cancers. In August, The British Journal of Cancer published the results of a study that found THC (the main active component i…

  5. Advice for helping friend

    I have a dear friend in the last weeks of terminal cancer, and have been asked by other friends who know I smoke if I could make up something easy to eat, that may help with both his pain and nausea, or at the very least give him a bit of a kick in his final weeks... he's never taken a drug in his life from what I know, nor drinks regularly, so a little unsure how to go about it. 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…

  10. The Ethics of Prescribing Cannabis

    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 …
