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 …

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).

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…
