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.

Med users?
Hi all, this is my first post in the med users forum so a big hello I have never really thought of myself as a med user, rather a recreational user but I do suffer from backache and have done for some time. I noticed the other day that while pottering around having just smoked a J I realised that having a smoke has never really made my back feel any better, infact I would go as far as to say that because of the muscle twitching effects of my weed it has made it feel worse at times? The weed I have right now is as sativa as sativa gets I rekon, if I smoke before I go to bed then I'm not getting to sleep for another 3 hours and a very trippy 3 hours it is too. C…

"This is pioneering work," said David Ringer, scientific program director for the American Cancer Society. "It's a very novel use of cannabinoids." The patch would be a breakt…

Marijuana Does Not Accelerate HIV Infections
Marijuana Does Not Accelerate HIV Infections NEW YORK ( Reuters Health ) - Short-term cannabis use does not seem to adversely affect CD4+ cell counts or viral loads in HIV infected patients, according to a report published in the August 19th issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. In HIV-infected patients, marijuana has been used as an appetite stimulant and as a treatment for the nausea associated with some antiretroviral agents. However, concern has been raised that such therapy could have a harmful effect on disease status, because in theory, cannabinoid use could increase HIV levels by impairing the immune response or by interfering with the activity of proteas…

"High-less" strain???
I know this may be a silly question, but I am curious what happens if a old or middle aged person, who probably never smoked or digested pot in their whole lifes, and their "medicial condition" is getting worse, and they tired using cannabis as last resort for their "condition" and they tried, and found it very benefitical in their case, but what happens if they didn't enjoyed the cannabis "highs", but enjoyed the medicial efffects of cannabis?? I know this may be "off tracked question". I guess they could always cut down the doses, because I read some of my Amercian Cannabis cookbooks and they mentioned (a very small sentence) that the "THC's" can be beneifitical in smal…
