I'm really worried about the accusations that 'weed' is highly addictive. People tell me horror stories of people they know being addicted to it and not being able to get off it and needing help. My theory is that all these people always used it with tobacco. But we all know studies confirm it is about as addictive as coffee. However I believe in australia its the norm to sell 'weed' as marijuana+tobacco. I myself have never bought off the streets so I am unsure. I think weed spun with tobacco is hurting the reputation of cannabis and as such helping to prevent it from being legalised. EDIT: you may have noticed I have edited out the poll and changed some things…

CANNABIS smokers beware: stress or dieting might trigger "reintoxication", resulting in a positive drug test long after you last used the drug. The main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and once in the body it is readily absorbed into fat cells. Over the next few days it slowly diffuses back into the blood. Since THC is taken up by fat more readily than it diffuses out, continual intake means some THC can remain in the fat cells. It has been suggested that stored THC can be released at a later date in situations where the body's fat is rapidly broken down. This is based on anecdotal reports of spikes in blood cannabinoid levels in peo…

The 1933 Report of the "Military Surgeon" stated, regarding marijuana use among the soldiers in the Canal Zone, that: marijuana as grown and used on the Isthmus of Panama is a mild stimulant and intoxicant. It is not a "habit forming" drug in the sense that the derivatives of opium, cocaine, and such drugs, are as there are no symptoms of deprivation following its withdrawal. Delinquencies due to marijuana smoking which result in trial by military court are negligible in number when compared with delinquencies resulting from the use of alcohol drinks, which is also classed as a stimulant and intoxicant(Geller and Boas, 1969: 147). http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/mj003.…

I checked back on this pdf someone sent me a while ago. And finally found the bit on Cannabis. It's quite interesting. Here's an exceprt Here's the link for it. I'm still not quite sure whether we even have Dronabinol in Aus.... Apparently it is an extract, not synthetic. Go to page 142 http://www.tga.gov.au/ndpsc/record/rr200902.pdf I just sent a letter to the TGA asking them about it.

Hi All, Like Sally R, I'm from the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC), and would like to post an ad for a web-based survey I'm running. I know that some of you were less than impressed by Sally's request and by NCPIC in general, so I apologise in advance if my post also causes offense to anyone. My survey is on self-managed change from problematic cannabis use. This study is based on what appears to be the case that most people who change their cannabis use (by either quitting or cutting down from levels they thought were a problem for them) do so without the help of formal treatments (e.g., GPs, counsellors, psychologists, drug and alcohol se…

This was posted at my home site at TY and thought I would share it here. Posted by Pflover 25/6/09 Here is a patent on a very unique THC extraction and purification process that relies on extraction THCacid using an acid/base extraction technique. It's intriguing if nothing else. I've tried a simplified version of the process out and altho not that great of a yield off dried bud it did work and seem to produce a very pure product. The yield made me wonder if it might be more effective with wet bud. Interestingly it yields both a high grade "honey oil" (which the patent actually suggests is tossed) and this purified THCA/THC. Production of .DELTA. 9 tetrahydrocannabi…

Hi all. Thought we could do with a thread to help protect cannabis information. Personally don't condone young kids using anything, but we were all young once and did experiment. Some, no doubt have trouble with some substances. Biting tongue as much as I can, toward our caring friends at NDARC with their National Cannabis Propaganda Invention Centre (NCPIC) they showed a tiny display of balance here and there in this month's bulletin. Find it here http://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/NDARCWeb.nsf/...ANUARY+2008.pdf "Key points • Young people are most likely to present to residential substance use treatment in Australia with cannabis as their principal drug of conc…
