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. Dry Cannabis Tablets - Discussion

    Hi guys, new to the forum so g'day to all. I've been a smoker for chronic pain for about 7yrs. I smoke everyday. Recently, due to lung issues and the antisocial behaviour associated with having to go outside and smoke etc, I've decided to move to edibles. I've consumed many types many times, but recently I tried going to straight up decarb'd dry flower. Ground into a powder and forced into gel caps. Now, the first night I tried em, (2 caps at once) I got great results. A heavy body numb and nice head buzz. The next day, although, I did the same thing to what seemed to be half the effect of the previous day. The day after, I tried to take one earlier, and one later …

  2. Medical Cannabis Treatment for ADHD ( Bipolar. GAD 0

    Hello, My brief overview I have found your website during my research into alternative treatment medications for the treatment of Adult ADHD. I have a diagnosis of Adult ADHD , treatment resistant Biplor and Generalized disorder and current medication treatments have essentially resulted in what I would term treatment resistant to the most common medications such a Dexedrine and Ritalin & most Bipolar medication. The research to this point into the use of medical marijuana [ M.M ] for ADHD in Australia has me thus far of the impression that the use of M.M ] for ADHD is really not supported or covered under the governments publications that support ADHD as not ap…

  4. Honahlee & medical access

    I've been self medicating my rheumatoid arthritis for years. That's how I ended up on this great gardening forum! But I had never found good info on how to legally access med cannabis in AUS. My doctor is a nice guy and does a good job with the standard meds, but avoids my questions on cannabis. I just found this website and it has the clearest & most useful info I've found to date! Links to SAS docs, list of treatable conditions, flow charts for each state, etc. Just thought I'd pass it on for others here in similar circumstances... https://honahlee.com.au/

  5. Testing Cannabis oil

    Hi I have just grown and harvested my first two indoor plants. I think it was a success with one and half pound of heads weighed up. I've gone through the process of making oil and ended up with 30mls from 12oz of buds with the other 12 in the freezer for the next batch later on. My question is does anybody know where I could get my oil tested in Australia .

  10. Uses of medicinal marijuana?

    Cures my sleep walking. Ever since I was a teenager, EVERY night I would violently sleepwalk. One night I ran and jumped down the stairs in my house in my sleep. Got very injured. Went to the doctor, tried different sleeping medications. Nothing worked, still slept walked. Anxiety killed me, what if I ran out into the road when sleep walking? What if I die? One day I was hanging out with friends, took a hit of cannabis and that night my sister commented that I didn't sleep walk. Ever since then, I don't sleep walk, granted I take at least one small hit from a vaporizer before bed. The nights that I don't (Traveling, or something else) I sleepwalk every night. It's the O…

  13. Cannabis Access - Red Tape Madness - ACA

In which he states "The Government would encourage medicinal cannabis product manufacturers and suppliers to apply for inclusion of their products on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) for them to be fully assessed for quality, effectiveness and safety." But the costs involved in any such approvals are exorbitant to say the least, making them only accessible to the big pharmas who have the structures and frameworks in place to cover such costs to be able to make …

  14. Opioid exit drug

    I gave some coco caps to a bloke who is desperately trying to get off prescription opioids to which he is an addict after a bad work injury 5 years ago. He was taking 4 coco caps a day while eliminating opioids completely. He is now on one to two caps a day and is over the shakes and sweats. His temperament has calmed and he is going well so far. An excellent result! No more costly opioids and lessening doctor visits.

  15. Topicals, Edibles and roadside drug tests

    Hi medical ozstoners, this a long post and not a simple question, but if you want to take time to read it, thanks in advance. So, in this thread I was hoping to have a discussion about cannabis topicals (creams applied to the skin) edibles and, ahem…suppositories and how they may or may not show up on roadside drug tests used by Australian police (as distinct from smoked cannabis). A bit of background to explain why I’m interested in this - I’ve never actually used cannabis myself in any form, but a while back I became curious about trying homemade topicals (like a coconut oil infusion) to see if they helped with chronic muscle pain, and as a general relaxant. So I st…
