The lines of "natural" are very blurred right now, but whatever way you look at it, Cannabis, Opium, tobacco and the caffeine in coffee are all naturally occurring. Opium really doesn't require much processing as it has been used for thousands of years - way before chemical processing and refining existed. You can also take a tobacco leaf, hang it, dry it and smoke it straight away and it's pretty clear how harmful tobacco can be. Some naturally growing plants are extremely toxic just to eat raw straight from the plant, which is as natural as you can get. So really, my point stands: just because something is natural, it doesn't mean it's healthy. With that said I'm not against the consumption of Cannabis. My step father smokes it because it helps with the pain from his osteoarthritis but doesn't hhave a long lasting crappy feeling like the other stuff the doctor gave him. As for myself, I used to smoke it every day. But there have been too few studies and too few controlled trials to vouch 100% on the efficacy of the treatment of mental illness. Epilepsy we know is very well treated by Cannabis which is why a new drug containing Cannabis has been doing well in trials here in the UK for treating epilepsy.

I use it but have to be very careful. It does help me even myself out, but more than a hit or two at a time can have the complete opposite effect and throw me into a paranoid panic attack.

Up until the last two weeks I was a heavy user. I managed to stay straight during the day but by 6pm I was heavily stoned throughout the evenings. My pdoc has always been against me using due to interference with my meds but I was desperate to 'check-out' each evening as the daily activities usually overwhelmed me. I think I used it more for my PTSD than BP as it calms me and makes me more light hearted. It is also an excellent pain killer for my Fibromyalgia. As I have been smoking it for years I have become worried about my lungs and two weeks ago I got a bad cold and could hardly breathe and my lungs hurt. This freaked me out so much I have hardly smoked since then and now plan to try making cookies. If I don't like them I will quit. I have had no withdrawals or cravings coming off it and have not noticed any change in my mood.

no i am saying it good for u based of the list of chemicals in it ..........coffee/caffeine has done more harm to ppl then cannabis.........looking at the list it is 90% or better anti something coffee is just the most widly accepted plant to be used by ppl each day with a drug that has a noticable effect on the person from energy lvls to mood.......where it takes more processing to have your cup of coffee compared to smoking a joint have u seen what they give us for Bi polar Mood Stabilizers - Bipolar Disorder Treatment Options | The Good, the Bad & the Funny of these Crazy Meds they are anticonvulsant...........epilepsy meds are they going with the oil this time in drops or the spray can method (heard alot of abuse was going on with the spray stuff but most effective way of controlling dosing .....like inhailer type of thing ) |
