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.

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 …
