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.

  2. A first draft of rules of the state

    A first draft of rules of the state’s new medical marijuana law incites protest from patients and advocates. Neal McNamara 7 January 2009 http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/lansing/ar...ust-say-no.html The frustration of Desmond Mitchell, a state Department of Community Health policy adviser, was almost palpable at a public hearing Monday morning regarding the department’s draft rules for the state’s new medical marijuana law. Mitchell sat at a long conference table, slightly slumped, as lawyers, patients, advocates, and even one self-proclaimed pot-growing expert gave impassioned speeches about medical marijuana, as if they were being faced with the revocation of thei…

    Medical Marijuana Bad?: Oregonian Newspaper Good? PART ONE Dr. Phillip Leveque Salem-News.com 29 December 2008 Phillip Leveque has spent his life as a Combat Infantryman, Pharmacologist, Toxicologist and Physician. http://www.salem-news.com/articles/decembe..._1_12-29-08.php (MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Oregonian newspaper seemingly has NOT been able to print even a neutral article about medical marijuana users or the whole shebang even though they know that over 22 thousand Oregon patients have permits approved by 3 thousand doctors. I have been their target of abuse even though I was completely cooperative with them for a dozen or more stories. The final straw was when Th…

    Steve Kubby: How the US Government outlawed a harmless, but potent anti-cancer drug by Steve Kubby December 30th, 2008 Libertarian Party http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/...ti-cancer-drug/ Yesterday, I received word about a very special lady, who is also my cousin, and who is fighting for her life. Her name is Lisa and she is losing her battle with breast cancer. What saddens me most is that there is an epidemic of breast cancer right now — even though we already possess an effective, nontoxic, and powerful anti-cancer drug that could save her and millions of other women. Right now, we have the technology and peer-reviewed science to save millions of lives w…

  6. Cannabis linked to Biblical healing

    Cannabis linked to Biblical healing BBC News World Monday, 6 January, 2003, 19:18 GMT http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2633187.stm Many of the miracles concerned healing Jesus Christ and his apostles may have used a cannabis-based anointing oil to help cure people with crippling diseases, it has been claimed. Researchers in the United States say the oil used in the early days of the Christian church contained a cannabis extract called kaneh-bosem. They suggest the extract, which is absorbed into the body when placed on the skin, could have helped cure people with a variety of physical and mental problems. The medical use of cannabis during that time is suppo…

  8. License to chill

    License to chill Sac County supes come to their senses, approve state’s medical-marijuana ID card By R.V. Scheide 26 December 2008 rvscheide@newsreview.com http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=889340 For information on medial-marijuana laws, visit Americans for Safe Access at www.safeaccessnow.org. Last week, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved the use of the state’s medical-marijuana ID card in the county. There’s really no reason to thank them; the ID card was mandated by the state Legislature in 2003 and had already been approved by 42 out of the state’s 59 counties, including Fresno, for Christ’s sake. By not enacting it, the superviso…

  11. Neo Green Pharmacopoeia

    Neo Green Pharmacopoeia October 18, 2008 Cannabis Digest #19 by Kali Hart Being an employee and member of the Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada provides me the fortuitous opportunity to access an abundant green pharmacopoeia. Currently 26 edible and topical cannabis preparations have been created and are produced by our organization. Edibles are ideal because they provide long-lasting relief in a single dose. Topicals are favourable because they provide localized relief to whatever part of the body they are applied to. Both methods of delivery will aid in healing the body with habitual use. To fully benefit from the myriad applications of cannabis we produce some prod…

  12. Going Legal: Buying Prescription Smoke in LA

    Going Legal: Buying Prescription Smoke in LA By Al Bagot December 12, 2008 http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/going-...moke-in-la/5486 Rather than grope another day for a passable excuse to visit Amsterdam, I took my lunch hour to interrogate one of the jailbaiters who holler at sandy locals and lumbering Midwestern tourists about the benefits of medical marijuana outside of Venice’s beachfront Medical Kush Club. With prescribed pot quasi-legal in California for 12 years under Prop 215, I needed to know how close to the golden ring of a legal ganja prescription I could get. Ditching thoughts of $50-$80 dollar baggies of unmarked produce from the back of some bearded w…

  13. Rx MJ in Australia

    What's up, I'm an American who will be spending a few months in Oz for work. Just curious what the laws were like for medicinal use....specifically in ACT but also in NSW. Are there compassion clubs? Have spent some time in both California and BC where these are fairly common but have yet to be accepted by the federal government. Peace, Jimmy420
