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.

  1. Opioid exit drug

    I gave some coco caps to a bloke who is desperately trying to get off prescription opioids to which he is an addict after a bad work injury 5 years ago. He was taking 4 coco caps a day while eliminating opioids completely. He is now on one to two caps a day and is over the shakes and sweats. His temperament has calmed and he is going well so far. An excellent result! No more costly opioids and lessening doctor visits.

  2. Topicals, Edibles and roadside drug tests

    Hi medical ozstoners, this a long post and not a simple question, but if you want to take time to read it, thanks in advance. So, in this thread I was hoping to have a discussion about cannabis topicals (creams applied to the skin) edibles and, ahem…suppositories and how they may or may not show up on roadside drug tests used by Australian police (as distinct from smoked cannabis). A bit of background to explain why I’m interested in this - I’ve never actually used cannabis myself in any form, but a while back I became curious about trying homemade topicals (like a coconut oil infusion) to see if they helped with chronic muscle pain, and as a general relaxant. So I st…

  4. PTSD - urgent help

    Hi all, I have PTSD and depression related to my military service. I have been taking prescription drugs for years and am on the best combination I've found but I am still unhinged, aggressive, depressed and often reckless and suicidal. Until recently I had never tried cannabis, but was fortunate that a wonderful Person supplied me with some CBD oil over the Christmas period and it literally changed my life for the few months I was taking it. Over 3 months I was able to reduce all my antidepressants/mood stabilisers by 50% and reflux disappeared completely. I was also able to cut-out Valium and Alcohol. After initial adjusting, I took the CBD inside gelatin capsules at…

  5. First try cannabis capules

    Well, I finally found something easy enough for even me not to get confused with zero hard work. Whole cannabis capsules. Saw it on Pinterest. I decarded the cannabis, then put it in the coffee grinder with about 1/2 teaspoon of soy licithin as the fat compound. The capsules fitted into a slurpy straw so all I had to do was use the straw to scoop up about 1c.m of the mix then put the while part of the capsule just in the end and basically just let the mix fall into the capsule giving it a light tap. Put the blue part of the capsule on and done. No mess, no waste. Will find out tomorrow morning how hubby goes with dose. If all goes well he can take these when he's away for…

  6. “I Use Weed for My ADHD”: A Qualitative Analysis of Online Forum Discu

    US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health] AbstractGo to: BackgroundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a risk factor for problematic cannabis use. However, clinical and anecdotal evidence suggest an increasingly popular perception that cannabis is therapeutic for ADHD, including via online resources. Given that the Internet is increasingly utilized as a source of healthcare information and may influence perceptions, we conducted a qualitative analysis of online forum discussions, also referred to as threads, on the effects of cannabis on ADHD to systematically characterize the content patients and caregivers may encounter about ADHD…

  8. TGA Exemption Approved - Vaping Medicine / E-liquid

    I was approved for medical cannabis a week ago. I am using a company called Cannvalate in Victoria. I have been sold 2 x 25ml bottles of Tilray 25/25 CBD Oil. I take 1.2 mls per day. I have also been vaping for the past 12 years until my TGA approval came through. I do not like the effects of this oral oil and I resent paying $350 for a 25ml bottle as it retails for $86 in Canada. Cannvalate has contracted with Tilray locking patients (or customers as they refer to us as) into outrageous prices that see Australians paying 4 times the price Canadians pay. I have asked Cannvalate to prescribe me an e-liquid or herb (preferably Australian product) so I can vape my medica…

  9. auto feminised strains feedback

    I am interested in auto feminised strains. More specifically strains that have been known to help with ADHD. A cannabis strain that is uplifting, energising and more Sativa based then indica. Moreover a cannabis strain that is ideally short as possible. I have seen on Caveman seeds, a strain called “Auto Sweet Tooth is a hybrid cross of the mouth-watering indica-dominant Sweet Tooth strain with Lowryder #2 ruderalis genetics. This is a short-statured plant which will stay below 1 meter in height and often a fair bit shorter. Its captivating aroma of ripe peach and mango leads into a rich, sweet taste which will have you coming back for more. Auto Sweet Tooth is suitable …

  10. Absorbing oil through the belly button.

    This is interesting and perhaps debatable by some who say that the THC molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin. It does seem like an ideal way to apply therapeutic cannabis if it works. https://canna-lance.com/2018/08/27/did-you-know-you-could-consume-cannabis-like-this/?fbclid=IwAR0pVn2_Je1fO_0WTTu8-WFORG34I9JF21tVDhcp1D5U7S_Seq5H8FBoBWY

  11. Epilepsy...

    Hi Mom here, I have a son who's been diagnosed with childhood epilepsy syndrome, this means their epilepsy has specific characteristics. These can include the type of seizure or seizures they have, the age when the seizures started and the specific results of an electroencephalogram (EEG).An EEG test is painless, and it records the electrical activity of the brain. In my son's case, he has "benign" which means they usually have a good outcome and usually go away once the child reaches a certain age. And as a mom, I don't want my son to suffer this kind of illness for a very long time. He's 5 yrs old now and he is doing great in school. That's why I am searching the best s…

  13. Autos, oil and cancer

    I have been told not to use Autos to make oil for cancer treatment because it is genetically modified. Being that Autos are crossed with Ruderalis I wouldn't have thought that they are any more genetically modified than a standard cross between an Indica or Sativa. Does anyone have any information either way on this theory? cheers

  14. Feedback on Green Crack

    Green Crack has branched into two genetic lineages, the most common of which is its sativaline descended from Skunk #1. The 75% indicavariety of Green Crack is said to have come from an Afghani strain, and is marked by a tighter bud structure. Because its name perpetuates a negative image of cannabis, some people have taken to calling this strain Cush (with a ‘C’) or Green Cush instead. ( Source https://www.leafly.com/sativa/green-crack ) Is my question has anyone grown this in Auz? If so how did it go? Was it for a medical condition Interested Thanks THC level – Up to 22 % Indica / Sativa – 100% Indica Climate – Indoor / Outdoor Yield indoor – Up to …
