“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,…

Personally I am just fine with natural cannabis ... but I will keep an open mind about cannabis in pharmaceutical forms as many people I know would prefer a pill over smoking or vaping the herb .... it's all a matter of making an informed decision about what's best for one's own health and quality of life.

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…

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 …

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.

Couldn't work out why I was str8ening out so quick, DER! I was drinking str8 sugar that I'm not used to drinking! I…
