While on probation for a year I still got away with smoking a few days a week by taking the weightlifting supplement creatine while drinking a lot of water to dilute my tests. I had to call into a testing center on Wednesdays and Fridays to see if I had to come in for a test, I was randomly chosen twice per month. I would smoke Friday - Sunday and then clean out until Wednesday morning when I would call in. If I was chosen that day then I would start pounding liters of water and drink some cranberry juice along with Niacin tablets to flush me out faster. Around noon I would take a THC dip test, that I ordered in bulk online, to see how dark the positive mark was coming …

Hi I'm new to this community, so I apologise if I'm not following correct posing conduct I'm a university student writing a research report on "Marijuana as a Moral Panic". Basically, that means I'm examining how weed is portrayed in the media, and then examining the actual facts and deciding whether the controversy surrounding weed is really about health risks or moral ones. I was wondering if any of you have seen any media articles which portray weed in a largely negative light. This may include use of negative stereotypes, misleading information to make weed seem worse than it is, or predicting disastrous outcomes. Particularly useful would be ones where weed ha…

Okay, so I'm new here so take it easy (: Also not sure if this is in the right thread so if need I will move it. So, about a year and a half ago, I smoked pot for just about a year.

CANNABIS use can speed up the appearance of psychotic illness, a ground-breaking Australian study has found. Dr Matthew Large, a staff specialist in mental health from the University of New South Wales and the Prince of Wales Hospital, said the risks were especially high for younger people, whose brains were still developing. “What our research has found is that ... cannabis smoking ... brings schizophrenia on early by an average of 2.7 years,†he said. For young people who smoke cannabis regularly, instead of having about a one per cent chance of developing schizophrenia during their lifetime, they would end up with something like a five per cent chance of devel…

Hi all, I'm new here, hoping to get on live chat but can't because I need to make 15 posts first before I can get on there (why is this the case?!?!). Anyway, anyone seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4GzKy62UBE A component of marijuana has been shown to kill cancer cells in the lab, and has also been tested on mice clinically with amazing results. No human trials yet as far as I know. Anyone else on here from Melbourne (Vic)? Lophophora

People tell me that medical marijuana would be a better replacement for many other more harmful drugs But if this was allowed to be controlled by pharmaceutical companies and doctors, would marijuana then become another thing that gets manipulated I wouldn't mind hearing what other people think of this, it has been running around in my head for a while

The West Australian 24 November 2008 Scientists have found a way to release the pain-relieving potential of one of the same proteins in the body activated by marijuana, according to a study released on Sunday. In experiments on mice, researchers found a chemical that prevents a naturally occurring enzyme from blocking this cannabinoid receptor, called 2-arachidonoylgylcerol, or 2-AG. Once the enzyme, known as MAGL, is deactivated, the protein is more effective in dampening pain, say the team, led by Benjamin Cravatt of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. The complex human cannabinoid system is thought to hold great potential for the control o…

Great teamwork Growing Marijuana With Government Approval A Conversation With Mahmoud A. Elsohly By CLAUDIA DREIFUS Published: December 22, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/health/2...tml?ref=science Q. WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE MARIJUANA PROJECT DO? A. Though cannabis had been used by man for thousands of years, it wasn’t until 1964 that the actual chemical structure of the active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol — THC — was determined. That stimulated new research on the plant. At this laboratory, which began in 1968, we often investigate marijuana’s chemistry. We also have a farm where we grow cannabis for federally approved researchers. Our material is …
