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

So the long awaited Cannabis Live Drug trial is soon  to be aired on Channel4.   The Ecstasy drugs trial which ran sometime in 2012 was really great fully informed an well put together. Its consisted of giving participants drugs and or a placebo an monitoring there reactions. The same is to happen for cannabis. Along with having a live audience & the use of social media, It really is been set up for all to try an take part. Two of the world’s leading experts on the effects of illegal drugs on the brain, psychopharmacologists Professor Val Curran from UCL and Professor David Nutt from Imperial College will follow the trial as its conducted at University College London. In reality its nice to get a clear view on the drugs we be consuming.   I have no exact date on air time as of yet but I can tell you the participants will be using old style cannabis resin, “skunk” and a placebo and then undergo MRI scans and a variety of cognitive tests to assess the affects on memory and on

Drugs are not the problem

The war on drugs is the reason why so many innocent humans are incarcerated. The system is so wrong & due to the war on drugs been launched it really affected working class areas badly. In terms of drug abuse, robberies, addiction so much has been affected by Mr Nixons stupid plan I.e the war on drugs. Lets stand up for the drug dealers of the world & fight for there rights. Too be pretty honest without the drug cartels this world would be a horrible place,. Drugs are not really the problem , sometimes they may be the answer & if this world of ours really cares , don't ya think they should stop wasting resources catching drug dealers etc. When really they should be finding ways of funding rehabilitation centres & educate the children today for the problems they may face tomorrow. Its the children's world not ours , In the 80s/90s when I grew up Heroin was everywhere & if this is to continue, the future looks pretty scary. Lets try stick together don&

Short-Term Effects of Cannabis Therapy on Spasticity in MS

RESULTS: Thirty-seven participants were randomized at the start of the study, 30 of whom completed the trial. Treatment with smoked cannabis resulted in a significant reduction in spasticity using an objective clinician-rated measure. The placebo-controlled trial also resulted in reduced perception of pain, although participants also reported short-term, adverse cognitive effects and increased fatigue. No serious adverse events occurred during the trial. The full results of this study can be found here .http://www.cmaj.ca/content/early/2012/05/14/cmaj.110837 ABSTRACT: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common debilitating neurologic disease of young people, affecting at least 250,000 persons in the US, often between the ages of 20 and 40. Symptom manifestation varies considerably from person to person; however, one frequently noted concomitant is spasticity, which causes pain, spasms, loss of function and difficulties in nursing care. The present application is designed to expl

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

Cannabis World Summit

Overgrow the world fuel fibers foods....the list goes on it also gets you high Puff Puff Pass Have you ever seen the movie "Pay It Forward"? (watch it if you haven't) It's about a kid who got the bright idea that he could make a positive change in the world by helping a few people, instructing them to help others, and they then are instructed to help others... rinse & repeat. Great inspiring story! This is a grassroots movement (pun intended). There is power in us little-folks. Look at what can happen when we "little guys" pool our tiny resources together.

The War On Drugs is literally Wasted Resources

The war on drugs was launched in 1970s to reduce drug consumption, Reduce addiction reduce the amount of drugs on the streets, yet here we are 2014 Drugs on every street corner and the laws seem to love it as they are hooked on the money made from humans been convicted. The war on drugs is basically ruining humans life's & the system is set up to trap youths from a young age. They are not fighting a war on drugs they are fighting lower class humans like you & me. They don't want the drugs of the streets as they need you to fill there prison systems. Safety must come first an if drugs were legal well they couldn't get any safer - or could they big  Pharma been killing humans for years nobody says anything. One person overdoses on some dodgy street cocaine everyone goes anti drug insane. Illegality of anything only increases the price so they win yet again, as you are hooked on there very expensive drugs with serious consequences  if you are caught. Yes here i
