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.

  2. Cannabis shown to help repair and regrow damaged brain cells

    Cannabis shown to help repair and regrow damaged brain cells http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/356/1/ 10 June 2008 Scientists link cannabis use with a damaging "shrinking" of certain parts of the brain, which is remarkeable for a number of reasons, not least of which as recent as 2005, scientists were hailing the benefits of cannabis, and its ability to repair damaged brain cells. Quite the connundrum? A team of Canadian researchers reported that cannabis use appears to spur the development of new brain cells in rats and to have further beneficial anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects. While it has been known for more than 100 years that cannabis does no…

    A Multiple sclerosis sufferer says he was able to step out of his wheelchair for the first time in seven years when he took part in a trial of a tablet containing cannabis.

  9. Hazy thinking on medical marijuana

    To those with family members who rely on medical marijuana to relieve chronic pain, the federal government's crusade against the use of the drug is an outrage. According to a 2005 Gallup poll, 78 percent of Americans support allowing doctors to prescribe medical marijuana. Yet only one of the three major presidential candidates, Sen. Barack Obama, is calling for needed change in federal policy by stopping federal raids in the 12 states that have passed laws legalizing medicinal use of marijuana. In my 20s, I had expected my generation to understand the futility of Big Government drug laws. Au contraire, now in power, my generation imposes prohibitions on people who are …

  10. Cannabis derivative may help Alzheimer's patients

    NATIONAL - Using marijuana to help improve memory may seem like an oxymoron, because the drug is known to cause short-term memory loss. But experiments on mice have shown the drug can actually improve an Alzheimer's patient's memory. And there are now plans to begin trials on humans. A plant so controversial for its mind altering qualities - cannabis - better known as marijuana. But it's exciting experts about its possible clinical benefits. One of the compounds in the plant is about to be tested in human trials to see if it can delay the onset of memory loss. Professor Tony Moffat says, "Cannabis as it is normally smoked has mind-blowing properties and there are co…

  15. Medical Marijuana in Australia

    Gday, Recently i have been doing a whole heap of reading and watching doco's ("In pot we trust", "Waiting to inhale") about the medical marijuana revolution in some U.S states, in particular california. I am amazed by the growing number of semi-legal cannabis dispensaries (hortipharm etc) that are in business and it got me thinking... I know Australia's drug laws are state-specific, but can anyone tell me whether Australia has anything going on like what is happening in California? I have had a quick look on a few search engines, but can't find anything that relates to medical marijuana and cannabis dispensaries in particular. Any information would be greatly appr…
