1. Multiple Sclerosis

   Hi there, A really close friend of mine has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Iam trying to convince this person to try some weed to help with the attcks and tha pain. Can anyone either direct me to a good site that I can print out for her, or post something here that I can print out. She has a drs appointment soon and I would love for her to ask her specialist about this, BUT have some facts to back it up. Thanks for you help and understanding. Ferenge420.

2. 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…

11. Canada To Sell Marijuana Over-the-counter

    Canada plans to make government-certified marijuana available in local pharmacies, a move that would make Canada the second country in the world after the Netherlands to allow the direct sale of medical marijuana. Officials are organising a pilot project in British Columbia, modeled on a year-old program in the Netherlands. Currently, there are 78 medical users in Canada permitted to buy government marijuana, which is grown in Flin Flon, Manitoba. A 30-gram (about an ounce) bag of dried buds, sells for $US113 ($A150) each, and are sent by courier directly to patients or to their doctors. But the department is changing the regulations to allow participating pharma…

12. Eating viz smoking

    Hi if we are taking about medicinal use of a herb surely smoking would have no part, or minimum part, to play in that. Pumping toxic tar ridden fumes into your lungs is a recipe for disaster and ill health. I can't remember when was the last time I smoked a joint of basil. Even recreational users get a far better stone of ingestion thru the colon? What are your thoughts?? If any.. OK so the poor bastard at deaths door who cannot chew may have a point but for the rest why not munch on cookies? That way the health police cannot rave on..and we all avoid nasty oxidants either actively or passively.

15. Cannabis For Labour Pain Relief

    G'day all. My partner is a month away from giving birth to our first child. We've been attending hospital classes and learned about the usual pain relief option for labour recently. I was wonderiing if anyone here has used cannabis for pain relief/distraction during labour. The traditional options like epidurals, pethadine and nitrous all have their limitations and can be harmful to mother and baby. I'd happily take my electric vape to the birthing centre but I've been unable to find any reports on the topic apart from My Labor under the Influence at RxMarijuana. So has anyone heard of cannabis use in this context? I'd rather trust a natural herb that can be self -admi…
