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. Painkiller tolerance?

    Hey guys, I don't consider myself a medicinal user, but some of you guys really know your stuff re: painkillers so I'd love to hear any comments you have. I had a really nasty soft tissue tear in my back over 3 years ago, wasn't able to move for a week and ended up on Valium when I finally got to the doctor. It was only 200mg from memory, maybe that's wrong it was so long ago. It's never really healed and I'm starting to think it never will. I'm doing all sorts of rehab and abdominal strengthening etc. but one thing I noticed over the last few months has scared the shit out of me. I've been using Ibuprofen as needed, not often and not until it becomes unbearable,…

  3. How to obtain a medical marijuana card

    How to obtain a medical marijuana card PR Cannazine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/544/27/ 20 August 2008 As a resident of California I have heard a lot of different things about medical marijuana such as who is eligible and how to go about obtaining medical marijuana if you are eligible. The laws that pertain to the medical use of marijuana in California were passed as part of proposition 215 and later amended as a result of state law SB-420. I’ll begin with a common misconception among people that you need a medical marijuana "license" to get medical marijuana. One thing that a medical marijuana prescription definitely is not is a license. A license…

  6. Kidney Desease and Pain

    Hey all! Awsome site by the way! I have a cronic kidney desease called hydronephrosis which recently caused my kidney to fail..... very painfull.... I tried loadsa other perscribed pills etc. but most didn't kill the pain or if they did they had some nasty side effets... I reccomend smoking with a mix of tobacco and green, persionally I think the pain relief was much more effective as the THC was slow released into my blood streme because the mixture is much less potent, but whereas maybe one or two joints of pure green are enough to get baked having several joints of mix makes the pain relief last longer.... also don't sit at an awkward angle, make sure ur c…

  7. Raiding California - Medical Marijuana and Minors

    Drew Carey 23 June 2008 Reason Video at <http://reason.tv/video/show/413.html> Should medical marijuana be kept from minors at all costs? Why is it that pharmacists can dispense amphetamines without getting busted, but legal operators who dispense medical marijuana face prison time? Why do armed federal agents persist in raiding California? With its sun, surf and small town atmosphere, California's San Louis Obispo County is a good place to grow up. Seventeen-year-old Owen Beck played football and soccer for a local high school, but one day his thoughts abruptly turned away from sports and school. Doctors told Owen he had bone cancer, and would have to begi…

    Medicinal-marihuana conviction sheds light on ambiguous drug law Jan Richter 11-07-2008 14:19 Radio Praha <http://www.radio.cz/en/article/106047> The Czech Republic is known for its liberal attitude towards marihuana, ranking top of the European ladder in the number of people who smoke pot.

  11. Medical Cannabis The Natural Way

    Medical Cannabis The Natural Way PR Canna Zine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/414/1/ 22 June 2008 Cannabis sentences are set to double when the government reclassifies cannabis from a class C, back to a class B in early 2009. Bringing with it jail sentences of 5 years a real possibility just for simple possession. The change of law also makes no allowances for the tens of thousands of people who use cannabis in the treatment of one or more medical conditions ranging from depression, to terminal cancer, and on behalf of the many medical cannabis users I know in the United Kingdom, I would like to ask "Why"? I think its fair to say the known efficacy of canna…

  12. Cannabis as Medicine - The Evidence

    Cannabis as Medicine - The Evidence 15 June 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/348/27/ Fully two decades ago, the Legalise Cannabis Alliance were presenting information to government which was quite literally, a matter of life & death for some people. And yet, the government in the UK paid absolutely no heed to what it was the LCA were saying. Today, in 2008, the arguments are exactly the same. The facts STILL as pertinent today as they were twenty years ago. The only difference? Over twenty years a lot of people have suffered , and died as a result of the legal status of cannabis in the UK, which begs the question, how much longer will politicians…

    Cannabis shown to help repair and regrow damaged brain cells http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/356/1/ 10 June 2008 Scientists link cannabis use with a damaging "shrinking" of certain parts of the brain, which is remarkeable for a number of reasons, not least of which as recent as 2005, scientists were hailing the benefits of cannabis, and its ability to repair damaged brain cells. Quite the connundrum? A team of Canadian researchers reported that cannabis use appears to spur the development of new brain cells in rats and to have further beneficial anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects.
