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. Effects of Marijuana

    I am not that naïve and inconsequent young girl that start to smoking marijuana anymore... I am getting into that stage where the hunger to conceive a child is warning me.

Dr. Gabriel Nahas Cannabis is four times more dangerous to your health than cigarette smoking. It dumps three times more tar in the lungs and five times more carbon monoxide. The key psychoactive substance in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – this co…

  4. Need advice for which strain?

    Bit of background. Never done any drugs. Will be doing some generic weed soon to see how it is. After which I will most likely be confident enough to grow it. I mainly want it for medicinal purposes. I suffer from depression, anxiety and sleeping problems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome). I think it's quite possible that I am depressed and that's why I am anxious and have sleeping problems. It's also possible I have sleeping problems which causes me to be anxious and depressed. So I want something that will give me the relaxation to leave the house and to sleep at night. But I also want to be buzzed and happy as well and be able to do things…

  8. Need info on marijuana and effects on Severe Depression

    Hi all my partner has severe and prolonged depression that is not being adequately controlled by conventional pharmaceutical medication.

  10. Cannabis and Swine Flu

    I developed the flu yesterday, and judging from the stiff neck, nausea and diarrhea im assuming it's the piggy kind. So far, a few bong hits a day have reduced the nausea, cleared the neck pain and reduced the coughing. If you're someone who mixes tobacco, however, don't do it while sick. I tried this morning and I nearly hacked and coughed myself to death. Thank you ganja, once more
