1. Kids' Antidepressant Concerns 'hushed'

   Having read the following article I am beginning to wonder if cannabis would really be all that bad as a kids medicine after all. Could it possibly be worse than some of the other "legal" medicines we are shoving down their throats? Kids' antidepressant concerns 'hushed' April 23, 2004 - 12:51PM Drug companies may have deliberately suppressed evidence that many antidepressants are unsuitable or even dangerous for children, it was claimed today.

3. Wish You Well

   Sooo good to see you working on these issues. I have tried same for a health problem, but it didnt work. However, Magic Mushrooms do. I am desperate as my supply has run out and I am looking for anyone who could help me with a contact where I could get my hands on some spores, (hopefully in Aust) - I need to try to grow my own. I am in WA - they do grow down south, but not until around August and by then I will be a "blithering mess". If anyone is interested, they work wonderfully for Migrain and Cluster Headaches - nothing else works for Cluster Headaches, but sh'rooms do. Thanks

4. Healing With Cannabis

   Healing with Cannabis When should inhumane laws made by men supersede human suffering? What right does anyone have to forbid the use of a plant that has not been proven to do great harm? Alcohol and Cigarettes are legal all over the world....consumers are encouraged LEGALLY by advertising to use them. Many thousands die from using these LEGAL poisons. They have been proven harmful to all humanity. And still profits are made at this terrible cost. The real message is what is happening here on OGF (www.oregongreenfree.com). People are TALKING about the things they can do....after using Medical Cannabis. Sharing the information that comes from their own experiences. Tal…

7. Cataplexy,epilepsy,neuro Probs.

   Anyone in Australia have Cataplexy? Epilepsy? Other neuro disorders that use Cannabis to help control their symptoms? We have been campaigning the Government to be able to use Cannabis as a plant for our disorders, and not as prescription pills, patches, suppositories and other potions the government feels that we should have, if canabis is to be used at all! Cannabis has helped keep my many problems (seizures, paralysis, nightmares, pain, etc. under control). One medication whereas the doctor would expect me to take 4 or 5 pills.....with side effects! Would love to hear from you. We need to stick together and encourage one another and work towards being able to use our …

8. Treating Cannabis Users

   Does anyone know more on this clinic? The address? My activist buddies were planning an action with 'head' nurses and donation pots. People wanting to give up cannabis could drop their unwanted 'pot' in the pot for distribution to medical users who need the stuff.

10. safety with mixing meds with weed?

    Hi, I was just thinking where could I find out if MJ is interferring with my other pain meds? MJ helps ALOT with my pain, but I also have to take other meds, one of these other meds is also used as an anti-depressant, and someone told me NOT to mix MJ with Anti-depressants. the drug I have in mind is doxepin. I have to take 100 gms a day. I also consume like a packet of nurofen every few days. I have been getting alot of mood swings lately and doing and saying things really out of character. as you guys have seen . WP

13. Cannabis Is Just Another Prescription Drug

    GRONINGEN, Netherlands -- With a lever controlled by his left arm -- the only part of his body he still can move -- Peter Boonman maneuvers his motorized wheelchair across his spacious apartment to a table where he keeps a vaporizing pipe and small plastic pharmaceutical containers of pungent marijuana. Getting high makes Mr. Boonman's life bearable. Since his multiple sclerosis was diagnosed at the end of the 1980s, his body has slowly deteriorated. At 52 years old, he is almost entirely paralyzed and is confined to his wheelchair or bed. "The MS makes me tired," he said. "The marijuana gives me strength and energy." Mr. Boonman smokes about three grams of marijuan…
