Jim, you !@#$, how's the back?

 

The back is fantastic. You want what's left of the 1/8 I bought nearly a year ago that was supposed to relieve my pain?

 

I love how one of the things it can help with is "substance abuse."

 

Having trouble with crystal meth? Smoke a joint! :lol:

 

I tried to use it when I was drinking too much. I just ended up as a drunk stoner.

First Church of Cannabis’ inaugural service will not include weed

 

 

Church founder Bill Levin, who anointed himself the Grand Pooh-bah and Minister of Love, asked his followers on Facebook to refrain from bringing pot, which they intended to smoke as a sacrament, to their inaugural meeting.
Levin, a 59-year-old carpenter, said that his Indianapolis-based house of worship would have a better chance securing its right to get high for spiritual purposes if his congregants were not dragged to criminal court.

I'll give you a buzz when I'm on the left coast next time.

This is a good collection of fairly recent studies. When reviewing the report, keep in mind that it is from the UK.

 

http://clear-uk.org/static/media/Reports/medicinal_cannabis-_the_evidence_v1.1.pdf

 

The report details an extraordinary quantity of peer-reviewed, published evidence that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of using cannabis to treat a wide range of conditions. It looks in detail at five therapeutic areas where the evidence is strongest: Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer, Chronic Pain, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.

...

 

Peter Reynolds, author of the report, said:

“This review finally does away with the myth that there is no proof of the value of medicinal cannabis. There is high quality evidence available from dozens of different sources, including double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. No one who examines the evidence can be in any doubt, any longer. This is a medicine that saves lives and rescues people from pain, suffering and disability with far fewer dangerous and unpleasant side effects than pharmaceutical products. We must move urgently to allow doctors to start prescribing and introduce professional training in the use of cannabis medicines”

In this case does the term "peer" mean another stoner?

Next time you hear that we need to do more research before approving cannabis as medicine, consider most FDA approved medicines get tested far, far less before approval.

 

Here is a list of clinical studies and surveys involving cannabis or cannabinoids. Make use of the search function to save time.

"Cannabidiol for the treatment of cannabis withdrawal syndrome: a case report".

 

What can be better - you take cannabis as a cure for cannabis withdrawal. I've heard heroin stops heroin withdrawal, too.


For anxiety and PTSD: "Cannabidiol enhances consolidation of explicit fear extinction in humans."

 

I have no idea what explicit fear extinction is so I googled it - every entry on at least the first page had something to do with cannabis.

Next time you see a list of clinical studies involving cannabis or cannabinoids, consider that most of those studies are non-clinical and largely bull ****.

Some of the scientific/medical terms can be difficult to understand. As mentioned before, I am not a medical professional but following was how I read things.

 

- Cannabidiol, or CBD, is just one of the very many cannabinoids found in cannabis. This study points out that CBD, a non-psychoactive substance, can alleviate the withdrawal symptoms from giving up whole cannabis, including THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid.

 

- PTSD is a disorder where the mind cannot get certain disturbing memories to go away. CBD seems to allow those affected with this fear disorder to better compartmentalize those disturbing memories.

In other words, pot causes memory loss and turns people into morons.

Would this help my elderly mother to forget about her memory loss?

More total BS from you, B in M. Pot helps with a stroke? I guess I should have smoked up and my BP of 246/? and being 50 pounds heavier had nothing to do with it. According to your "medical data" they should have yused pot on me instead of the tPA thet gave me immediately after the stroke,

The thing you referenced cited "subjects" an then stated they were rats mice, and primates.

PROBLEM: "Marijuana use is associated with an acute increase in caloric intake," goes the clinical jargon for popular lore. Still despite eating more while high (by some measures, over 600 extra calories per day), marijuana users' extra intake doesn't seem to be reflected in increased BMI. Indeed, studies have identified a reduced prevalence of obesity in the pot smoking community.

Doctors' Word Choice Affects End-of-Life Decisions

 

METHODOLOGY: Researchers at the University of Nebraska, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of over 4,600 adults. About 12 percent of the participants self-identified as current marijuana users, and another 42 percent reported having used the drug in the past. The participants were tested for various measures of blood sugar control: their fasting insulin and glucose levels; insulin resistance; cholesterol levels; and waist circumference.

 

RESULTS: Current marijuana users had significantly smaller waist circumference than participants who had never used marijuana, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, tobacco and alcohol use, and physical activity levels. They also had higher levels of HDL ("good cholesterol"). The most significant differences between those who smoked marijuana and those who never or no longer did was that current smokers' insulin levels were reduced by 16 percent and their insulin resistance (a condition in which the body has trouble absorbing glucose from the bloodstream) was reduced by 17 percent.

 

People who had previously used marijuana, but not in the past thirty days, tended to have similar outcomes, but to a much lesser degree. In addition, none of these measures were impacted by how much marijuana people reported smoking.

if you had smoked pot maybe you'd wouldn't be 50lbs overweight and had a stroke in the first place
