Cannabis Use, Effect And Potential Therapy For Alzheimer's, MS and Parkinson's Science Daily — Cannabis (marijuana) is the most widely produced plant-based illicit drug worldwide and the illegal drug most frequently used in Europe. Its use increased in almost all EU countries during the 1990s, in particular among young people, including school students. Cannabis use is highest among 15- to 24-year-olds, with lifetime prevalence ranging for most countries from 20--40% (EMCDDA 2006). Recently there has been a new surge in the level of concern about potential social and health outcomes of cannabis use, although the available evidence still does not provide a clear-cut un…

by Jon Gettman High Times, March 1995 In 1970, marijuana was placed on Schedule 1 of the Drug Enforcement Administration's controlled-substances list, largely because scientists feared that, like opiates, it had an extremely high potential for abuse and addiction. But the discovery of THC receptor sites in the brain refutes that thinking, and may force both scientists and the DEA to re-evaluate their positions. INTRODUCTION The next century will view the 1988 discovery of the THC receptor site in the brain as the pivotal event which led to the legalization of marijuana. Before this discovery, no one knew for sure just how the psychoactive chemical in marijuana w…

Straight people my age, kill their pain with perscription drugs, in some cases they are addicted for decades. They argue that the actual smoking of the Cannabis, defeats the purpose of justifying it as a medicinal substance! If you smoked bongs & pipes in the 70's & 80's to kill the pain, any chronic stoner knows that if you made it to the 90's you naturally progressed to the rolling of the spliffs. So long as you exercise and eat well the "smoking" of medicinal herbs is not here nor there, or is it? ........ Is smoking Cannabis (Bush not Hydro) a small price to pay for a natural anti-toxant, anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, muscle relaxant, etc etc etc?

The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.

my opinion is very young people should not touch anything until they are mature enough to know and understand what they are doing. i believe dope affects young people health because there are so many of them that have some form of mental illness. I know some of them experiment with other drugs too but i do know of some young people being affected only because they were regular smokers.

High has anyone had the experience that if you have a quantity of smoke, so called friends seem to come around regularly hoping for a cone but they rarely seem to offer you a smoke from their own stash. It pays not to be generous doesn't it ??

Hi everyone I am new to Oz Stoners have been smoking now for about 30yrs, wondering if other people here have been smoking for a long time. I had a couple of breaks when I was pregnant, didn't touch dope then or booze. Even when I have had surgery I have had a cone within a few hours from getting out of bed. Smoking dope is better for you than smoking cigs, it doesn't make you feel sick

I have been smoking for years, since i have neck and back pain i believe that a smoke helps you relax and you don't seem to take as many pills. If my friend did not smoke dope when he had severe pain with his cancer he would have to use more Morphine, he found he didn't get as sick when he had a smoke plus he was with it mentally . He always had his smoke on the table ready for a toke, even inviting the district nurses to have a pipe. They were good they didn't judge him
