Marijuana- Not What It Used To Be Serious Health Consequences From Increased Potency of Marijuana Transworld News 19 September 2008 http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.as...1871&cat=15 Marijuana use in the past decades has evolved from being perceived as a relaxing pastime to a serious drug abuse problem. "Marijuana has been portrayed as simply a 'gate-way drug' to harder drugs." comments Mary Rieser, Director for Narconon Drug Rehab GA. "However, recent studies show that the higher levels of THC, the active component in marijuana, have turned marijuana into a 'hard drug' in and of itself. "Not only is marijuana more potent, but the perception that it is har…

Snuck this into another thread, thought it best to give it a thread to. A nicely buried little austrian study - Abstract Although a variety of drugs are available for the treatment of depression, therapy is not effective in all cases and finding alternative options is desirable. Results from animal studies, anecdotal experience reported by patients using cannabis and observations from clinical studies where cannabinoids were used in serious diseases suggest an anti-depressive potential of cannabinoid receptor agonists. From 2003 to 2006, 75 patients suffering from depression, stress and burnout syndrome were successfully treated in a practice for general medicine wit…

The role of cannabis (marijuana) in psychiatric disorders remains controversial. In bipolar disorder, it is known that many people use cannabis for various reasons.

Rimonabant

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimonabant To me it sounds completely terrible. Look at the side-effects section, it says because it's the opposite to cannabinoids it increases risks of Alzheimer's etc. etc. Why would anyone want to abuse their perfectly good CB1 receptor like this? Me thinks it's a government plot to ruin people's cannabinoid receptors so they can't get high anymore.

Marijuana patients advised "don't smoke..vaporize" 5 September 2008 PR Cannazine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/611/27/ Patients receiving physician approval to use cannabis should be warned that chemicals released when the dried leaves and/or flowers are burned put heavy smokers at increased risk for bronchitis and respiratory infections.1 The risk can be avoided, however, by an alternative delivery system: a device called a vaporizer that heats dried cannabis to a temperature where cannabinoid vapors are released, but below the point of combustion, where noxious and carcinogenic smoke toxins are formed. Patients can thus inhale the pharmaceutically acti…

“Medical Marijuana” Takes On New Meaning for Metastatic Breast Cancer PR Cannazine http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/578/27/ 30 August 2008 If you have breast cancer, you may have considered the use of “medical marijuana” at some point during your chemo treatment. Smoking marijuana has provided some women with relief from the nausea and vomiting that can accompany chemo, relief that the range of normal side effect drugs weren’t able to give. Some states permit the legal use of medical marijuana; most don’t. Nevertheless, most women who want to try marijuana seem to be able to get it. Personally, I didn’t experience any severe problems with nausea. But I wa…

Killing bacteria with cannabis By Yun Xie | Published: August 26, 2008 - 03:31PM CT http://arstechnica.com/journals/science.ar...a-with-cannabis Pharmacists and chemists have found another use for the multipurpose cannabis as a source of antibacterial chemicals for multidrug resistant bacteria. Ironically, inhaling cannabis is known to damage the lung's ability to fend off invading pathogens, but the ingredients in cannabis, particularly the cannabinoids, have antiseptic properties. Although scattered research has been conducted since the 1950s, no comprehensive study existed that relates the structure of cannabinoids with antibacterial activity. Giovanni Appendino,…

Now after some creative thought, I have put my ideas on the web, we know that cannabis contains chemicals which get us high, and we also know these chemicals are soluble in fats/oils but also alcohol. has anyone ever thought of using a bong like setup to extract pure THC? Could this be done? well my idea gos big cone piece, stuffed with weed or weed even mixed with hash, no tobacco. this goes into the first chamber which is just water, the other chambers contain a hydrocarbon such as pure alcohol. as the smoke passes through the first chamber the ash and crap gets filtered out, but also cools the smoke for the second chamber, in the series of chambers which …
