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.

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 …

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.

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."

Downloading grief
I don't wish to bring anyone down but I have just come from visiting hospital and I need to download some grief to get it off my chest. Sorry to do this but occaisionally I need to off load some of the depressive stuff so I can face the hospital again the next day. Was visiting a friend (and member of SICC) and boy is he doing bad. He was been treated for pneumomia and has been in hospital since well before Xmas. Laying in a hospital bed can be like a long haul flight and sure enough BANG a deep vein thrombosis. Nearly killed him. Spent 4 days in ICU. Covered from head to toe in bruising from having very low platelets (natural blood clotting agents). Wow he looks bad …
