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.

    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.

  12. 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
