Cannabis linked to school drop outs

A new study of cannabis use has found that those who use the drug before the age of 17 are 2/3s more likely to drop out of school. It was also found that suicide attempts among cannabis users are 7 times more likely. The study was carried out by a team of Australian and New Zealand researchers. It involved an analysis of data from more than 3,700 cannabis users. The study shows cannabis users are more likely to become dependent on cannabis later in life. Other long term effects can result in memory loss ,psychosis & or depression. And Has also found that users are 18 times more likely to become addicted to cannabis and or harder drugs Cannabis has many different effects on different users , depending on what strain or THC levels its really a mystery as to how it affects each of us, as each human has different immune systems. Leading to different reactions. I remember many moons ago, i took a puff of cannabis for first time ever time, without eating breakfast or anythin

Vaporization as a "Smokeless" Cannabis Delivery System

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a vaporization system (the Volcano; VAPORMED® Inhalatoren) as a “smokeless” delivery system for inhaled marijuana. The study looked at heating marijuana to form a vapor and then comparing drug levels in the blood to those obtained from smoking an identical amount of marijuana from a cigarette. In addition, we compared the tolerability of the two methods and measured expired carbon dioxide to evaluate whether the vaporizer reduces exposure to respiratory toxins. Eighteen healthy subjects were recruited and admitted to the inpatient ward of the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at San Francisco General Hospital to investigate the delivery of marijuana by vaporization compared to marijuana smoked in a standard cigarette. One dose (1.7, 3.4, or 6.8% tetrahydrocannabinol) and delivery system (smoked marijuana cigarette or vaporization system) was randomly assigned for each of the six study days. The analysis suggests that the

Cannabinoids for Neuropathic Pain.

Treatment options for neuropathic pain have limited efficacy and use is fraught with dose-limiting adverse effects. The endocannabinoid system has been elucidated over the last several years, demonstrating a significant interface with pain homeostasis. Exogenous cannabinoids have been demonstrated to be effective in a range of experimental neuropathic pain models, and there is mounting evidence for therapeutic use in human neuropathic pain conditions. This article reviews the history, pharmacologic development, clinical trials results, and the future potential of nonsmoked, orally bioavailable, nonpsychoactive cannabinoids in the management of neuropathic pain http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25160710?dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19789075

Break The Taboo

The war on drugs make humans look weak , It was enforced way before there was even synthetic drugs yet drugs became more popular & more readily available soon as it was enforced, Don't you think its time for change?  How would Earth be today if the war on drugs was never introduced?? Stop arresting drug dealers & leave those users alone . Save some sick humans visit other planets just let the drugs be as they are.... EndTheStigma   http://www.breakingthetaboo.info/

So Does Cannabis Cure?

Regulations and restrictions on the sale of Cannabis sativa as a drug began as early as 1619.
