1. New User with Question RE: NSW Laws

   Hi Everyone, I was searching the internet for some info and this board looks pretty cool and you lot look friendly and informed so i thought i would ask my question here. I have been suffering major depression for the last 4 years, it became extremely serious 6 months ago and i was sent to a doctor who prescribed me Aropax. At first it worked, but now i am back to my bad condition and the medication does nothing to me. I actually think i feel worse now as i am unable to get to sleep at night. Recently i tried MJ for my first time, and i have to admit it was the first time i was happy and actually laughed and felt relaxed in the last 4 and a half years. My question i…

4. MJ for pain - help needed!

   Hi everybody! I am a massage therapist and recently was called to a nursing home to give a massage to an 87-year old woman. She has osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, torn ligaments in both shoulders, and is in so much constant pain, she can't move her arms, walk, sit or lie down. She was prescribed different pain killers, including morphine, but they all give her constipation. Her niece has run out of options to help her. I am not an mj user myself, and know very little about the drug. But I remembered that mj can be used for pain relief. My questions are, first of all, what contra-indications and / or side effects can be experienced in an 87-year old woman. She has …

12. Best Strain for GWS

    What would be the best strain for my 'condition'? What is GWS? GWS is the Official Term being used for the Gulf War Syndrome, a nice present alot of us Vets recieved during the first round of the Gulf War, in 1990-91. Last speculation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Pentagon, and Private research is that it is more than likely attributed to contamination to some or all of the following: Pesticides, Sarin Gas (Nerve Agent), Mustard Gas (another NA), other trace ammounts of NBC Agents (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Warfare). Mixed with the antidotes we took in pill and shot forms, and other not so nice microbes in the area. Ailments? To name just a few, chr…

15. SMOKING TO FIGHT INSOMNIA

    I used to suffer from chronic insomnia. I'd been on and off sleeping pills for about 2 and a half years and found the medication was just fucking up my sleeping pattern completely. I started smoking pot a couple hours before I planned to sleep and if I let myself fall asleep just as the buzz is wearing off, I find that I sleep like a fucking baby. I wake up totally refreshed. The only problem now is that I can't get a good nights sleep without weed. My girl hates me smoking even though she understands the benefits of it for me. I'm thinking of asking her to move in with me, but she's made it quite clear that she won't do that unless I quit or seriously cut back on my usag…
