Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm here to post a brief summary of the many diverse medical purposes of marijuana. I do not wish to engage in a conversation about the ethics, or the legality of marijuana. So, without further adieu...

It can:

-Prevent nausea associated with chemotherapy
-Prevents blindness caused by glaucoma
-Serve as an appetite stimulant for AIDS patients
-Act as an anti-epileptic
-Ward off asthma attacks and migraine headaches
-Alleviate chronic pain
-Reduce the muscle spasticity that accompanies multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and paraplegia.

Taken from "Marihuana, the Forbidden Medicine" a book by Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Note: I think it's fair to note however that many doctors in the field of psychiatry are against using marijuana because it contains over 400 chemicals, and is therefore thought to be too crude to be used in modern pharmacopoeia. This is because they believe the advantage of synthetic drugs is that you can obtain a precise dosage, and also ensure purity.

Whoa! this are the things I wish Mariguana was legal, it helps so much.



Then taking the mariguana a little bit wont hurt any one, it's how you use it or how much. (I think. X_X)

Some pills are made from chemicals, and some from plants. But if it was made from a plant then they would add more stuff to it, like...

1. Make the pain worse then it is now, or not doing anything at all.
AND
2. Making us want to buy more even if help a little bit and even if it's expensive too.

Now if Mariguana was in town, we would ruin their business. Which that is what they don't want.

That's how I see things. ^_^

True; I'd be loathe to recommend raw herbage to anyone--especially taken from different plants--since it's impossible to tell if you're getting a steady, reliable, effective doseage.

Thing is, though, marijuana is so safe (all 400+ chemicals in it) one wouldn't really have to worry about taking too much. (assuming they won't be driving or operating heavy machinery...) Unlike most drugs, if the bit you took isn't working, you can just take more.

It also helps RSD biggrin Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy,
that is why I take it, Actually its pretty awesome, I can grow six plants, 3 in flowering 3 in vegitation, i can have up to 6 pounds of marijuana in my house legally, I can carry two ounces on me at all times and I wont get any paraphenilla charges.
Id also like to point out that the ONLY way to overdose on marijuana is to smoke Twice your weight in pot, do you think you could smoke that much weed?

And youd probably be so stoned after about 2 pounds anyways that you wouldnt have the energy to smoke any more, so really, I dont think its possible to OD on marijuana

here in canada my buddys mum was just put on the THC pill, but she cant smoke anything at all! drug tests every week ><, they knew she smoked before, and now shes actually getting les THC than when she smoked, so she might get put on medicinal *fingers crossed*

i dont think it varies much, but man i love it, usually if u get cought by the cops smoking of if u have a bit for personal use on ya, they either tell you to throw it o the ground and step on it, or they take what little you have on you and usually your pipes etc. (usually to go smoke themselves) but if you get caught with a large ammount and a scale, then you get probation, or like a 200$ fine for trafficing.

god i love this country blaugh

actually I heard that it wouldn't even be the pot that killed you if you smoked that much but rather a lack of oxygen lol in either case its pretty implausible that some one will die from it xd
