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. Gotta do without for awhile

    Hi all, new poster here. I’ve been using weed to medicate my insomnia for a couple years now, usually just a joint of Skywalker an hour before bed, at least six days a week. I’m traveling out of the country for a couple months and plan to do without medication for the duration. I have a background in psychology, been reading lots of research about marijuana withdrawal syndrome. Based on the research it looks like I’m in for a couple weeks of (and I quote) irritability, anxiety, decreased appetite, restlessness, and sleep difficulties (ugh), but after that I should be out of the woods. Have you been in situations like this before, like having to go without medication for a…

  3. Unsure how to maximise my harvest

    Hi all After goggling and reading countless articles and viewing many youtube vids, I'm still unsure that I'll be getting the most from my crop. Although cannabis doesn't alleviate all symptoms of my illness, it 100% works for my chronic severe nausea and inability to sleep due to pain .. nothing, not even the wafers given to chemo patients eased my nausea in the past. I get a few bad headaches and have balance probs due to inflammation in ears .. so am wary of using anything 'too green' like juicing the leaves (as I've read it can cause headaches). That and I've always needed to eat food I really really like as I never have an appetite and forcing down something I d…

  5. Father faces jail for medicating his daughters with cannabis juice

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-07/father-faces-jail-for-medicating-daughters-with-cannabis-juice/9523898 Royal Australasian College of Physician, Adrian Reynolds, urged caution about making access too easy. "I would not want to see the floodgates being opened before we have much more robust evidence around the benefits, risks and harms associated with the cannabinoids," he told 7.30." ​"...urged caution about making access TOO EASY!!!!" For Christ sake I doubt they could make it any more difficult or convoluted to gain access. Presently it's easier to obtain 'Hillbilly heroin" (Endone) than it is to get canna legally. ​So I ask you, whose the criminal, the father…

  12. PTSD Success!

    Hey All, New here, joined the 420 Crew cause I browse a lot and figured I’d give back. There are other threads with a similar vibe but any who, having just left the military and battling with my own demons has anyone found success in effectively treating PTSD / Depression? What strains? Vaping/edibles? How long till condition manageable without need for canna? Pharma is getting real old, real quick. Prolonged use of these legal drugs are destroying me, the only answer given by pshychiatrists is to UP the dose (which honestly just makes things worse) Also what’s the deal with craigslist/wickr bullshit. I’ve been out of the game for years but it’s getting near si…

  14. MEDICINAL WHOLE PLANT CBD OIL

    Hi all, anyone know where you can buy CBD oil made from whole plant cannabis, with THC in it ? Theres lots of "hemp" oil, out there although this isnt meant to be anywhere near as good as oil made from whole plant. Apparently CBD with even a little THC, is a lot more beneficial than CBD alone. So long as the THC is below.3%, it can be legally imported from anywhere This is $40 a gram & isnt that high in CBD, meaning you need large doses & it becomes expensive 10ml oral syringe 1859 cbd Oil per syringe Ingredients 18.6% raw organic CBD oil CBD – 1365 mg CBDA-491mg CBN- 3.4mg THC -< 0.2% THCA-<0.2% Will eventually grow some, but for now just want to …

  15. Getting oil tested?

    Hi, I receive oil , and not in a state at the moment to make it myself. Am I right in assuming that no lab in Aus would accept samples for testing given legality issues? Could one send to a lab in Cali, or would customs likely confiscate it here or in the US anyway, and no point? Thanks so much for any insight and help. Cheers.
