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.

  3. Cannabis smoke 'worse' than tobacco

    Found this "report" by the British Lung Foundation in the BBC Health News: Cannabis smoke 'worse' than tobacco Smoking pure cannabis is more harmful to lungs than tobacco, a health charity is warning. A study by the British Lung Foundation found that just three cannabis joints a day cause the same damage as 20 cigarettes. And when cannabis and tobacco are smoked together, the effects are dramatically worse. Evidence shows that tar from cannabis cigarettes contains 50% more cancer causing carcinogens than tobacco. Dr Mark Britton, chairman of the British Lung Foundation, said: "These statistics will come as a surprise to many people, especially those who choo…

  5. CFIDS (aka ME) and FMS

    Hello to All: I have Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I discovered 3 years ago (after 12 years of narcotics hell) that marijuana was the best medicine for me. I now use only marijuana and am in much better shape than previously. I would like to feel even better, so I am going to grow my own medicinal marijuana using hydroponics. I would like to hear from anyone who knows for certain which strains of seeds are the best for the various symptoms of these conditions. Thank you so much for answering this post. Love & Light, Starfire

  10. Canna-Massage Oil??

    I remembered last year or something I saw somewhere in some mag or website about making Canna-Massage Oil, they say you make the same way as using cannabutter, but replace with oil, and end up having Canna-Oil, at the end product add few drops of lavender or some your favourite flower oil to make the massage oil more pleasnat smelling, and pour some on your hands and massage someone's or your lover's body, and somehow the skin aborbs all the THC and gives nice body relaxed feel, I have never tired this, but I can remember few times when I made my own Canna-Bread or Canna-Pesto Bread, and I have to rub/prepare the bread dough by hands, and at the end of 20/30 mins rubbing…

  14. Marijuana Anonymous....

    Surprised to find this in Channel Nine's Good Medicine Website's Factsheet, only useful for those based in South Australia...... CANNABIS: Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug and about 10% of people who use it will become dependent. In the past marijuana, or cannabis, was thought to be a soft harmless drug, but the drugs on offer today are very different to the "pot" of twenty years ago. Recent surveys have shown that nearly 50% of 14 year olds say they have used cannabis. Sydney Neuro-scientist, Dr John Anderson, studies the effect cannabis use has on the brainwaves of young people. He says some kids who experiment won’t continue but others with a …

  15. Pot May Ease Parkinson's Symptoms-Czech Study

    Nearly half of Parkinson's disease patients who have tried marijuana say the drug helped relieve their symptoms, according to a survey of patients with the degenerative neurological disorder. Dr. Evzin Ruzicka, an attending neurologist at Charles University in Prague in the Czech Republic, reported the findings here at the Movement Disorders Society's Seventh International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders. Ruzicka is also a consultant at the Prague Movement Disorders Center. "It's difficult to directly study the medical effects of cannabis in the Czech Republic, where we conducted our research, because of its illegal status," Ruzicka told Reuter…
