Yes I also would rather have something like that for arthritis and pain relief. the pain medications are addictive and I don't want to even start the routine. hopefully the research continues and the fine tune it so it works well.

Just in DEA approved marijuana for medical research for PTSD and will consider changing it to a lower class drug.

99% of people buying medical pot are doing so to get high. Med pot is a farce concocted by drug dealers to legally sell pot to people seeking to get high. Have you looked at the sales pitches? the sales pitches say pot cures most every ailment, do you really think pot is a magic cure of all these ills? Of course pot makes sick people feel better, It makes all people fell better. that's why I and many others like to smoke occasionally, but I call it what it is: getting high.

If you like to get high, just say so, and quit making up medical excuses for your recreational drug use, no one believes them!

Look at it this way. In Colorado, and other states where it is legal to purchase cannabis for recreational use, a medical card isn't necessary. Just buy your bud and get high. There's a reason why some folks get a medical card. And there's a reason cannabis is available to those who don't want to get high but want medicinal relief. DEA approving cannabis research for PTSD is a step in the right direction. No magic cures but many substantiated studies for pain relief. Do the research or shoot from the hip, Tom.

I inadvertently (sneaky pot-laden brownies at a party) was exposed to pot---------made me VERY paranoid, frightened, and a bore, and I drove my friends nuts with my incessant talking. I certainly did not "feel better". Never again!!!

Micah,
Please leave the prefix "moto" out of this....."Goatscrote" sounds way better...

Cancano and Lee--------very interesting info, and not previously known by me------thank you for your comments. Aspirin scares me, so probably will not experiment, but I appreciate your comments. Now, some good sipping Canadian Whiskey----that is a different story.

I smoke pot on occasion but only because, at times, I have PTSD issues. I don't smoke in public but only when I want to get to sleep. The high part is extra.... makes pretty much any lame comedy really funny.

Kinda like reading Goat-scrotes' comments on BN for me!

It's unfortunate that there is such a moral judgement by some around the use of cannabis (in whatever form).

It's always interesting to read about folks glorifying their alcohol consumption and NORMLizing it as a social standard....but dissing cannabis users. The old Reefer Madness link has already been mentioned....seems like some folks buy into it.

Some folks react poorly to cannabis (especially when gobbling the brownies unknowingly ), but it is fair to say that for those with anxiety problems, it sometimes increases anxiety until the user is more "experienced"....it's a matter of dosage, intention, and managing one's consciousness...a challenge of balance.

High grade pot can certainly have psychotropic outcomes, but not usually hallucinogenic to the extent that LSD or organics (e.g. peyote cactus, psilocybin, etc).

"Medicinal" pot is a curious term....as has been referred to earlier...."medicinal" is more a reference to the application more than the strain....aside from the strains being developed to more the intended effect of pain and seizure management than the "high".

Go into a medical pot place. They are primarily marketing pot to get buzzed, very few of the customers are there for treatment of any real disease.

Make America Great Again....grow it like they did while writing the Constitution....except without the slave labour....

Made in America....none of that "Bad Trade Deals" stuff from Mexico

There are parents from around the world trying to get approval for their child to take part in CO's program that uses special, high CBD stains to treat epilepsy. It was covered in depth by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on his show on CNN among other news shows. Wiki it....Charlotte's Web CBD oil.

Its criminal that this treatment, that has proven effective, is outlawed in most places. Saw the program and there are folks moving their whole families to states where they can get help.[/ Yep. Criminal.

CBD pain relief without THC, fascinating, I had no idea about this. here's a question, if all this low to high test weed is available through dispensaries, who's buying all this pot thats being smuggled through the border??? is it that much cheaper?

....for the 3rd time! .....

..here's more inf on high CBD.... http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cann...

......... for sure, it takes care of the no-sleep PTSD issues... actually, for quite awhile on one round. There is a lot of research going on with PTSD and hallucinogens for cures, too. Beats the hell out of a lifetime of the anti-depressants the AMA wants you to ingest.

What Is THCV And How Is It Different From THC?

http://www.theweedblog.com/what-is-thcv-and-how-is-it-differ...

"THCV is a new potential treatment against obesity-associated glucose intolerance with pharmacology different from that of CB1 inverse agonists/antagonists."

"THCV has been found to reduce or even block panic attacks and, as a result, can be highly effective in the management of PTSD and other mental disorders involving anxiety or stress, as shown in research in places like Israel, where a great amount of cannabis research is done. THCV doesn’t appear to suppress emotions, only the ability to panic, associated with Fight or Flight response.

THCV has also been shown to reduce tremors associated with diseases such as Parkinson’s, along with ailments associated with motor control. There is also promising research demonstrating reduction of brain lesions associated with Parkinson’s.

THCV also stimulates bone cell growth, and has potential in the treatment of osteoporosis and similar ailments; possibly even in the micro gravity of space, to combat the loss of bone mass."

Fascinating field of study .... How things work

Marijuana is more benign than alcohol. I say this even though I have not partaken in it for a couple of decades.

so its safe to say you don't know WTF you're talking about....

P.s. For perspective you should state that 15000 per year die from guns. [Edited on 4-30-2016 by mtgoat666][/ rquote] Most of those died from bullets, although I'm sure a few were beaten to death with a gun after the shooter ran out of bullets

Lee, with all due respect, i'm two out of three.... I quit puffing tobacco at 28, but i'll say WHAT I please WHEN I please, and if you don't like it, FO&. BTW, i'm on your side, tough guy. You can be a civilian any time you choose.

One of the reasons I choose not to puff the pot any more is my heart disease; smoking of any kind is not a good idea. Also, some PTSD doesn't agree with it; I have a lot of Nam buds (pun intended) who do well with it, but some of us don't. So quit with the STFU advice already, willya? You're supposed to be a mellow-yellow kinda guy if you practice what you profess, que no, amigo? Also, you can prove anything with statistics or the bible they say. Again though, you're 99% correct.

Israel develops revolutionary medical marijuana inhaler

http://www.israel21c.org/israel-develops-revolutionary-medic...

Think Canada has approved this means of delivery and there are a couple that have been approved and are being sold .. in Canada .... The FDA hasn't made its final call "yet" I might be wrong .. and will stand corrected if so

Lots of stuff coming out of Israel .... on the medical and/or clincial benefits of THC and/or other molecular variations of this substance

Ain't mother nature great ..

Would imagine that most of the "Majors" are fighting over who has the genetic patient on the plants DNA .... Kinda like the Seed Companies back in the mid 70's ... which lead to Monsanto's patient over their genome of Corn ... which is an interesting call in its self .... A patient on Life by a Chemical Company ..

Grow it in your back yard ... and help stop the Cartels If ya like smack ... Poppies .. If ya like blow ... sorry in most cases it only grows in its own climate which doesn't exist in large areas of the planet ... certainly NOT the North American continent
