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. Fibromyalgia help

    My partner has been suffering from fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, for many years now. For a while he thought he had it mostly under control but in the last year or so his pain levels have gotten a lot worse and I'm getting very worried about him. He sees a doctor every few months about it but there's only so much that the doctor can do, nothing has really significantly helped, especially considering how expensive non-PBS prescriptions and supplements can be versus how much they actually help him manage his pain, and there is little left that we haven't tried. Recently I've been thinking about trying to get him some marijuana as we've heard of a few people with f…

  3. Chronic Pain Sucks!

    Hey there! First off, I am an advocate Medical Marijuana as I have a chronic back pain that just won't go away. I have been dealing with this since I started working as an online worker and I sit more than 8 hours a day.

  4. Medical Marijuana for Cancer treatment, help please.

    Hi Guys, I realise that I could probably find most of the info I need without asking... but I am sure some of you will have done the research for me, and as such wanted to save myself some time.... I have researched this a little in the past, thinking I might make some oil for my wife's back pain, and my sick dog.... but never really pursued it with any vigor. One of my best mate's old man has recently been diagnosed with Cancer. Unfortunately it is in a few places throughout his body and he has been given 6-12 months to live. My mate used to smoke with me when we were younger, but now has no contacts... so he gave me a call. his old man is actually the one wh…

  5. Key Issues Surrounding the Debate about Medical Cannabis - Australia

    From: The 'Alcohol and Other Drug' industries magazine - "Of Substance" The political hot potato of decriminalising cannabis for certain types of medical use is back in the air, with an increasingly lively debate occurring around Australia. Cannabis was legal for medical use in Australia until the 1950s; now its only legally sanctioned use is for a mouth spray for muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. While advocates argue that it should be made available to patients with a range of serious and terminal conditions, dissenting voices say the status quo of an almost total ban should remain. In the following group of topic ‘snapshots’, Of Substance looks …

  6. Advice on Best Strains for Treating Depression Sought

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to cannabis (used recreationally and occassionally, many, many years and not since then). I have major depression (with anxiety) which was professionally diagnosed and has been treated with pretty much all of the SSRIs, SNRI, NRIs, MAO inhibiters and tricyclics--and in desperation some of the antipsychotics (even though I have no psychosis), lithium and ECT. I am currently on desvenlafaxine and mirtazapine which I will continue taking even though it is providing only partial relief. Two events have plunged me into a deep than usual melancholic depression that I am only beginning to recover from and return to my basel…

  11. Is it possible to tell if this is Indica or Sativa?

    If I had to describe the high, I would say that it is predominantly a head one, with some body high. Sorry if this is the wrong topic to post in, just let me know and I'll delete it. I couldn't find a more suitable topic for some reason.

  13. Looking for medicinal cannabis users

    Hi all, My name is Taylah Hill and I'm a journalist from a community radio station in Sydney called 2SER. I'm currently working on a current affairs story about the legalisation of medicinal cannabis, particularly as the Victorian Labor Party recently announced they will introduce legislation for legalisation if elected. I am looking to interview someone in Sydney who uses cannabis for medical purposes that can shed more light on the topic and I guess in a way advocate for legalisation. As I mentioned before it is for a radio station so I will only record your voice - you don't have to reveal your identity or personal information in the story, however I do hav…
