Hello to the OzStoners community - here's an introduction to the latest GDS 2014, which has a focus on cannabis this year. Drugs are a funny thing. Lots of people take them, lots of people talk about them – often not knowing much at all about what they are talking about. The media sometimes does a fantastic reporting on drug issues, other times it’s just not useful or accurate. Sometimes it’s just plain rubbish. Researchers do some interesting stuff but most of it‘s focused on the harm that drugs cause – not the pleasure they can bring to people’s lives. Global Drug Survey hopes to change that. Collaborating with over 20 media partners and host of researchers and harm …

Hi there, I signed up to this site in the hope of getting some advice, feedback and shedding some light on an issues Im having.. My backstory, generally healthy female, been smoking daily for about 15yrs (just a few joints at night) usually hydro because all I can seem to get in Melb. 3 times in the past 6 months I have suffered what seems to be some kind of weird side effect when Ive gotten stoned. I use to smoke about 4 joints a night, but since this has been happening Ive cut it down to 2, but its happened again the other night ! So, what happens is about 10 mins after I finish my joint I all of a sudden start feeling really light headed, dizzy a bit nauseaous, …

Could cannabis have antipsychotic properties? In addition to psychoactive chemicals, cannabis contains components that may have a protective effect in mental illness.http://www.neura.edu.au/sites/neura.edu.au/files/event_images/candybar-734.png http://www.neura.edu.au/sites/neura.edu.au/files/event_images/tim-285.jpg When Dr Tim Karl, a senior scientist at NeuRA, says he believes that marijuana has potential as a treatment for schizophrenia, he’s adding fuel to a very contentious fire. Marijuana – or cannabis, as it is otherwise known – is a controversial substance, particularly in light of evidence that it can trigger the development of schizophrenia in some people. But…

Science for stoners: What is marijuana “abuse?” http://www.salon.com/2013/10/26/science_for_stoners_what_is_marijuana_abuse/ interesting read... may make you think I relate to this quote a bit too much "Consider, too, the marijuana use of a person with a mindless job (not operating heavy equipment or working with dangerous materials) who finds that marijuana use makes her more pleasant, more patient and less irritable. Her employer doesn’t know she uses marijuana and is satisfied with her job performance. Does the fact of her being “high” at work automatically categorize her “use” as “abuse”? Does being altered necessarily mean being impaired?" carry on

Im almost certain Im posting in the wrong place, but couldnt seem to find a forum to fit my question so.... I'm a bit of a binge smoker, I go hardcore for afew weeks, then take a break and have afew weeks off smoking. Every time I decide to quit, Im fine up until about day 7. Then I get really moody/depressed/angry. This lasts for another week or so until I start up again. Can anyone tell me what the cause of this is? Does anyone else get similar problems?

Hey guy's, got a genuine querie here for the gastronomes. Made some Canna butter recently, and used it to make two cakes and the icing. One was a vanilla cake, one a chocolate, both required equal amounts of butter, yet the vanilla cake floored everyone, while the chocolate was a mellow, cruisy stone. Thought it may have been toxicity, so the next day, munched the cake the other way round, chocolate first, but was still floored by the vanilla....... any thoughts?

Forgive the random interjection, but I just had me a thought (very rare thing round 'ere). I think it's possible and plausible that when certain 'active' chemicals within cannabis are oxidized more than normal, it causes the classical 'creeper' effect that some highs can get - where a hit seems very mild, but creeps up in intensity until you suddenly realise : hey! i'm toastered. Basically, all i'm assuming is that extra-oxidation changes one active chemical into another (or another form of itself) which causes the smoked cannabis to have less of a THWAK! effect and more of a creeper come-on effect. Does anybody have any thoughts on the prob-/poss-ibility of this…

Hi I am on a mission to grow some bud with the highest thc levels. As far as I know the highest recorded level of thc is 33% for Tutenkhamon at spannabis 2011. To try and achieve this goal I started growing the tutenkhamon a few years ago and I have learnt the optimal way for it to grow. However I had a clone that started budding very prematurely resulting from a dodgy bulb but now what I have is a super concentrated bud about 25cm tall and about 20cm wide and I plan on growing it until the end instead of throwing it out and starting again. Now this brings me to my question to test the levels myself I would need to buy a test kit however all of the kits I have found only …

sup dudes. sorry if this is the wrong section to post in but anyways winters been creepin up and i got my parents to build a fire place couple years ago. its an open fire place and every now and again i like to get a fire going. getting to the point i did some research and found that the smoke released from wood is pretty toxic, apparently as bad if not more than ciggies. the say that the particles of ash/dust penetrate deep into your lungs irritating them and causing cancer; bronchitus etc. anyone know if this is true/over exagerated? got me thinking does smoking pot have the same affects, carcinegons etc.

There's an excellent poll here started by niall about the price of an ounce, but it was started way back in 2003! So here's one for 2007 It's exactly the same as the 2003 poll so i'll use niall's original wording ... Thanks for voting!

Hey guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but a very recent, and excruciatingly painful discovery has been made by the Burner. Cannabis has the undisputed ability to effectively relieve pain of various forms. But I now know of one form of pain that cannabis has absolutely no effect on. Toothache. I swear, no matter how many cones I pulled, the pain did not dissipate in any way, shape or form. Right now, i'm dosed to the gills on codeine, feeling pretty fucking average, but no longer in agony. The wonderful thing is, every bong is bliss at the moment, not a smidge of pain for at least five minutes, that's only twelve cones an hour:-)

As I have stated, I am a long term smoker, and daily user. I also have some illnesses that cannabis use can benefit, though not legally prescribed. I also use, to a lesser degree, synthetics to manage one of my conditions, because I choose not to work under the influence of cannabis. I am posting this self study of my past and present use of cannabis, mostly because I am bored, but also to say to to you all, farewell. After 26 years, I'm quitting the puff. I personally feel that it is the right thing to do for myself, at this present time, in order to get shit back on track. Priority number one is health, have not been able to eat properly, every time I do I feel na…
