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.

  2. Sanofi obesity drug rejected

    Sanofi obesity drug rejected POSTED: 5:10 a.m. EDT, June 14, 2007 Adjust font size: SILVER SPRING, Maryland (Reuters) -- U.S. regulators should reject a proposed weight-loss pill called Zimulti because of concerns it may increase suicidal thinking and depression, an advisory panel unanimously said Wednesday. French drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis SA sells the medicine in 18 countries under the name Acomplia. Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration said there were too many questions about potential side effects to support U.S. approval. "I think this is a drug that needs further understanding with respect to what it does to people's psyche," said Dr. Sid Gilman, a panel…

  4. Anger Management

    I have had anger problems since I was about 8 years old. Although my anger problem is not that of a normal person. Instead of releasing my anger I just contain it, which in time causes problems for my body (Lower back pains, severe headaches, cramping...etc.). Only when I began smoking I began to forget about things that made me angry during the times when I was baked. I even have dealt with a lot of my problems and resolved them while being baked as well. MJ is the only thing that can do this for me, and I'm grateful for it + =

  5. Dope smokers have crazy sperm?

    Sperm From Marijuana Smokers Move Too Fast Too Early, Impairing Fertility, UB Research Shows BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Men who smoke marijuana frequently have significantly less seminal fluid, a lower total sperm count and their sperm behave abnormally, all of which may affect fertility adversely, a new study in reproductive physiology at the University at Buffalo has shown. This study is the first to assess marijuana's effects on specific swimming behavior of sperm from marijuana smokers and to compare the results with sperm from men with confirmed fertility. Marijuana contains the cannabinoid drug THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is its primary psychoactive chemical, as w…

  7. Dr's certificate for Medical Cannabis Patients

    I hope this comes in handy for fellow NSW patients, I carry one in my wallet at all times - Standard form (PDF - file size: 52kb - paper size: A4) for doctors to sign (with wording relevant to NSW patients), identifying a patient as potentially benefiting from cannabis. Generally for the purpose of encouraging police to use their discretion to decline arresting a patient by providing somewhat legitimate cause. Note: not a legal document, a police officer may still decide to arrest & charge. Contains a harm minimisation clause. doctor__sstatement.pdf

  9. old interview - Brash & Katelaris on medical cannabis

    I've been going through old stuff, cleaning up my files and I recently converted an old VHS tape to mp4 and then put up an old interview with Katelaris on youTUBE (I far prefer someone else to pay for my bandwidth, in this case ultimately Google ). This was the interview (originally broadcast in 2003) used by the NSW Medical Board to de-register Katelaris recently - he allegedly endangered patients by giving them access to cannabis. above: screenshot I scored the little plant after the interview, it was white rhino - whoa. The packet of 'Tea Bags' was purely a prop made for the camera and not a real product. I also scored some cannabis-laced chocolate similar t…

    February 13, 2007 Medical marijuana might reduce the pain of peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve damage, among people living with HIV/AIDS, according to a study published in the Feb. 13 issue of the journal Neurology Comments, Reaction The results are "evidence, using the gold standard for clinical research, that cannabis has some medical benefits for a condition that can be severely debilitating," Abrams said (San Francisco Chronicle, 2/13).

  13. Afternoon grey and smoky, evening yellow and rose

    Afternoon grey and smoky, evening yellow and rose (I think) Maybe the last plant I ever grew came from the husband of a school friend of my mum’s. He brought some stash up for us to share and I kept the one seed. At the time I had access to an overgrown backyard and behind a hillock formed of years of dumped mown lawn I grew single plants over a few seasons. I was lucky always getting female plants with seeds from here and there. And there was always concern over storm clouds and prayers before bedtime. This old guy came from the Riveriena and he’d got it from a next-door neighbour who had been in a lot of pain - apparently. And growing in one of Sydney’s older, down-at…
