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.

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…

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 …

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.

Hemp derived CBD vs recreational derived CBD
I’m currently using some industrial hemp-derived oral CBD oil, with mixed results. The stuff is nice enough, works well when used on its own, but it seems to fight with any THC that is subsequently taken. It leaves u with a f**ked up Frankenstein kind of stone which is not satisfying at all. It also has a (less prominent) negative interaction with benzos and opiates. I have no doubts that this is a result of CBD blocking the pleasure/reward/dopamine receptors, which I have read about. So as I kind of expected, you can’t trick ur body into thinking u’ve been taking a strain with a balanced ratio of thc:cbd. The 1:1 stuff I was previously taking was completely seamless, t…

Trigger pulled x 2
So, I have been asking the question as of late - if THC kills cancer cells and your best mate and his partner were to be given 6 months to live, does law even matter? Because this past week that is what has happened. One my best mates, his partner now some 6 months ago was found to have a tumor in her brain - they cut out what they could and have had her on chemo since. She approached me recently saying she was over it and wanted to try Cannabis. So while giving what I had over and explaining that we needed to wake up the cannabinoid system inside her before giving her oil pills, my best mate was telling me about some lower back pain he had been having. In the l…

Prostate cancer
Hi all. Just joined and hoping someone can advise. I am 67 and recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am looking at making RSO. I want to grow my own product outside so, any suggestions for something suitable for this with high THC and can be grown outside in Victoria. I am also looking at using 190 proof alcohol in place of ISO and, using one of the distillers such as the green oil machine. Any advice would be much appreciated as new to all this at my age but, I would like to continue living and keep my prostate. Thanks guys, great community here. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Borderline Personality Disorder + personal grow
I've been diagnosed originally with Bipolar 2, but this has since been changed to borderline personality disorder. I'm growing Jack Herer (sativa dominant hybrid) and Amnesia Haze (indicta dominant hybrid). It seems the prevailing wisdom is that an early harvest sativa is good for this condition during the day, but when you can't sleep at night, a late harvest indicta, higher in CBD (amber trichromes) is a good fit. Does anyone have any other strains to suggest? I've heard girl scout cookies and laughing buddah are a good match as well to bring you out of a depressive funk.
