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. 20.5% of People with HIV use Cannabis medicinally

    HIV Futures 5 'Life as we know it', a 2006 survey by La Trobe University has found 20.5% of respondents use Cannabis for therapeutic purposes in the past 6 months. 982 HIV+ people were interviewed believed to represent 6.4% of Australia's total HIV+ population (approximately 16,000). This equates to approximately 3,200 HIV+ Australians who regularly break the law simply for treating their illness. A further 44.9% admitted to recreational Cannabis use. I was one of the 982 and I break the law daily, therapeutically of course :-)

    Hey all What a fantastic website! I used to be a bigtime skunk smoker back in the 80's and then didnt smoke for around 10 years.... but Christmas last year saw me diagnosed with metestatic colon cancer (yep its in my liver as well). Chemotherapy has been a godawful toll, but thank the gods, I found smoking again. It reduces my nuasea and pain, increases my appetite and makes me feel a whole lot better about this whole shitty situation. im the only one at the Cancer treatment centre on chemo that actually puts on weight during treatment anyhow keep up the good work you guys!

  9. Call on cannabis medicine

    Call on cannabis medicine By Carol Nader January 24, 2006 AUSTRALIA'S drug regulator should decide whether medical use of cannabis is permitted, according to the head of the committee developing the first national cannabis strategy. In a move likely to increase pressure on federal and state governments to allow medicinal use of the drug, Richard Mattick, chairman of the national cannabis strategy, said the Therapeutic Goods Administration determined the effectiveness and safety of medication, and cannabis should be treated the same way.

  11. Cannabis a Treatment for Childhood Mental Disorders

    In 1996, California legalized cannabis as a treatment for "any... condition for which marijuana brings relief." Although the law does not constrain physicians from approving the use of cannabis by children and adolescents doctors have been reluctant to approve cannabis use by patients under 16 years of age, and have done so only in cases in which prescribable pharmaceuticals had been tried unsuccessfully. The case of Alex P. suggests that the practice of employing pharmaceutical drugs as first-line treatment exposes children gratuitously to harmful side effects. Alex aged 15 years and six months, had previously been prescribed Ritalin, Prozac, Paxil, Maxalt, Immitrex, …
