Yea, even though I don't use or have any apparent need for it now, I am all for Cannabis legalisation after having read much about its medicinal efficacy online, especially after listening to Rick Simpsons on you tube and much more.

First of all, I am not a pot smoker (since my High School days anyway, wich were a long time ago).
I did a web search on the term you listed.
I see MANY websites with these results, but not a single documented case of RESEARCH that was done listed on any of them.
Please name the source of such wide claims?
Where were these "studies" that were done and when they were performed?
In my opinion, much more information would be needed to believe such claims. Heck, if one out of seven people I smoked pot with in HS became schitzophrenic... Well - I would know one hell of a lot of mentally ill people!!!!
PLEASE - Look at the web SOURCES you are quoting. If there are no bonafide hospitals or universities listed... Well.... that says a lot.
Just my OPINION.

I was hoping to find something on CBD in the "Chronic Pain" section, but no mention.
Hemp Oil
Posted by Rsw (Oh) on 02/12/2016
Timh,
I came across this site as a result of reading the FaceBook page of a well respected doctor. Thought you might be interested. The capsules looked good, although I don't know about the absorption rate. Seemed to be high quality. I have no financial or any other interest in this company. http://elixinolcbd.com
Hemp Oil
Posted by Timh (Ky, Usa) on 02/16/2016 2043 posts
Of all the plant or natural medicines I have used over-the-yrs, Hemp/CBD Oil is in the top tier of all-time best. Laws concerning Hemp are very out-dated and are currently undergoing reform with new legislation.
For all USA residents, Hemp products are currently in the range of expensive in terms of cost for consumers. The reason for the high cost of H products is that most H products are imported from countries where it is not considered an illegal plant and is grown as an agriculture crop.
Please read more and support legislating Hemp as a legitimate agriculture crop and open the barn doors in terms of availability & affordability for consumers, as well as supporting local farmers. http://nhafederalcampaign.org/

What Chris is saying is true in all but one case, and that is ice water extraction hash... Also known as bubble hash... But this is very strong and concentrated.... however if you make it with a herb that has a higher CBD than THC ratio, than you can have a concentrate that is high in healing properties that will not make you high or as high, depending on the THC content of the plant. Many people find it tastes pleasing and eat it straight, or use it to make glycerine based tinctures.

I am replying to the cannabis thread. Your readers may want to look at GreenPassion.org as it has thousands of studies of medical cannabis cures.

I don't know where everyone who commented here really got their information. But this is what I have learned about cannabis. Refer to this link

The part of the plant that gets smoked is NOT curative. It is the oil that is extracted out of the bloom part at the top that is what is actually very, very healing and big pharma wants it clouded over, just like all of the other natural cures that come from the earth.

Lyn, I never said it cured me or any of my ailments! It helps with the side effects! Also part of what I smoke is the "the bloom part" that you speak of. Sometimes it is so sticky because of the heailing oil that you speak of! So you may want to study more than just one you tube video before you start criticizing others! Another thing you may want to know is the oil in the blooms comes form the roots, stalk, stems, and leaves, inwhich residue of the oil still remains!

I am seeing a lot of debate about the uses of cannabis and the proper parts of the plant to use.... I have lived in Nor Cal for 8 years and I have done extensive independent research... The best I can tell, all parts of the plant in all of the plants many varieties and forms have value... Different parts and compounds of the plant are valuable for different ailments... and the best, most heathy way of consuming it as a preventative or a cure is by juicing the leaves of juvanile plants or CBD heavy strains made into a glycerine based tincture.
Dr. William Courtney recently cured a baby sent home to die with a massive brain tumor. CURED. You can see the full story by looking him up on YouTube or Google.

Please talk more about the health benefits of Cannabis. I know some use it for recreation but this is a health form. For God's sake. Let's learn more. Too many of you are for what the government always complains about. I want to get better - how about you?
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
Posted by JJ (AZ) on 07/11/2023
I am interested in your take on "Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome"... it this a real "thing"? Or is it from long term use (I have smoked very low dose almost nightly for around 15 years)... that may have affected the thyroid function...
My enjoyment from use changed fairly suddenly around a year ago... no longer slept well, and my stomach/guts developed issues... I had been under a LOT of stress for the last two years before things changed...
Blood work all normal, except for slightly elevated hematocrit and very low Free testosterone. I quit for 7 months, felt a bit better but not completely... smoked a little the last 10 days and felt pretty rotten...
Is this the bitter end of my cannabis use?? I had hoped the long break would re-set things...
Any feedback would be appreciated and I will not consider any of it as "medical advice"... Thanks!!
