Cannabis 'Scrips to Calm Kids? By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos Tuesday , April 20, 2004 Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_st...,117541,00.html As a California pediatrician and 49-year-old mother of two teenage daughters, Claudia Jensen says pot might prove to be the preferred medical treatment for attention deficit disorder (search) — even in adolescents. "Why would anyone want to give their child an expensive pill … with unacceptable side effects, when he or she could just go into the backyard, pick a few leaves off a plant and make tea for him or her instead?" Jensen asked the Drug Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee earlier this m…

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 …

Cannabis-Linked Cell Receptor Might Help Prevent Colon Cancer FRIDAY, Aug. 1 HealthDay News washingtonpost.com <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080100937.html> A cannabinoid receptor lying on the surface of cells may help suppress colorectal cancer, say U.S. researchers. When the receptor is turned off, tumor growth is switched on. Cannabinoids are compounds related to the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) found in the cannabis plant. It's already known that the receptor, CB1, plays a role in relieving pain and nausea, elevating mood and stimulating appetite by serving as a docking station for the cannabinoid group of signa…

When It Comes To Medical Pot, Rats Are Smarter Than Our Politicians Paul Armentano Posted July 18, 2008 The Huffington Post <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-armentano/when-it-comes-to-medical_b_113176.html> You can learn a lot from a rat -- especially if the subject is medical cannabis. According to a just-published study (see below) from the University of Milan -- you didn't actually think medicinal marijuana research took place in this country, did you? -- the administration of whole-plant cannabis extracts provides superior pain relief compared to the administration of the plant's isolated components (such as THC) in an animal model of neuropathic pain. …

Hi Everybody! We all love pot and stoned experience, hence this beautiful site! I'd love to start a thread here of your experiences...how do u stay stoned? What not to do to bring yourself down? Apart from just smoking more, lets share our knowledge on how to get the best out of our stoned time! Food obviously is a big one for bringing you down...and sugar I'm told.
