medical marijuana

South Africa has long had a sizable Rastafari minority and cheap outdoor weed is easily available here (growing conditions are favourable). Although there has always been a small legalisation movement, this is first time that I'm aware of where someone has stood up in parliment and called for a...

I was talking to my friend and I guess he stopped talking the naproxin I gave him after taking two pills for his arthritis because he thought it was too dangerous it was too dangerous. Now he has the idea of putting pot in his juice smoothies to help with his inflamation. Is there any scientific...

http://reason.com/blog/2011/06/30/white-house-overrides-2009-mem What they are saying doesn't even make sense: But who are they going after? Not gangs or cartels, but medical marijuana businesses authorized by state or local laws. The US needs a third-party or independent...

http://www.medicalmarijuana.net/ i figured i could learn from the educated members; perhaps some can assist with understanding what this program is all about.

Hi all, I have recently become interested in learning about medical uses for marijuana, they seem very far reaching. From stopping nausea, to treating mental illness (CBD's and CBN's within marijuana alledgedly can treat THC psychosis, if my memory serves me right) through to arthritis and MS...

Proposition 19 on the California ballot would legalize marijuana. I'm inclined to vote for it but an Anti-19 article has some arguments against it. One I have no knowledge of at all: What's the skinny here? Is this a valid concern?

At the suggestion of another forum member on another thread which was becoming off topic, I would like to discuss marijuana, and its link to adult onset schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder and Bipolar Disorder. This is the post I left on the other thread: I've recently seen two young...

You gotta love the Bay Area :D So what are people's thoughts on drug law reform? For? Against? Indifferent?

New study released SACRAMENTO — Medical marijuana is a promising treatment for some specific pain-related medical conditions, researchers from the University of California's Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research reported Wednesday. State-funded studies conducted over the past decade have...

So, is marijuana now "legal", in those states that have passed medical marijuana laws? ETA: I am looking for the video of his announcement, now. He said they'd no longer waste limited resources on places that are using marijuana under the law. Over a dozen states have passed medical...

Finally some progress on the drugs front, decriminalisation is still a long way off, but at least this one horrible policy is being ended. A big victory for state's rights advocates as well.

:( Doesn't it make you angry whenever you think about the fact that the hemp plant, cannabis, and marijuana are illegal in America today? This fact, alone, is enough for any critical thinker to realize that our government is absolutely corrupt beyond measure. This is a conspiracy REALITY. So...

:cool:Cannabis, hemp, or marijuana is the world's most valuable plant yet it remains illegal in America. Valuable? How so? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and virtually all of America's founding fathers believed hemp was the most commercially important crop in the world and...

I'm seeking some advice about a fellow called Rick Simpson. Simpson is a Canadian who claims that hemp oil cures cancer. Not hemp seed oil, but actual hemp oil containing high concentrations of THC. Naturally there is a website devoted to his cause and of course there is the obligatory YouTube...

Watch Mitt Romney refuse to answer a person in a wheelchair when asked if he would arrest him for using medical marijuana: NY6UTnS6Z-A This was a toss up between politics and science/medicine, so if mods feel it should be moved I have no problem.

What is there to gain in prosecuting a dying woman? http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8NS32N82&show_article=1

http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/04/21/medical.marijuana.ap/index.html Is this a political move or a scientific conclusion? I am not really familiar with the studies for or against.

Justices Rule U.S. Can Ban Medical Pot How about that? The conservatives were in favor of protecting legal pot, and the liberals were against it.

Conservatives pride themselves on resisting change, which is as it should be. But intelligent deference to tradition and stability can evolve into intellectual sloth and moral fanaticism, as when conservatives simply decline to look up from dogma because the effort to raise their heads and...
