Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 This was a very good article. thank you for sending. Will pass it along! It seems to me that under "medical supervision" as in prescribed for specific disorders, that this herb would benefit many who are slaved to the " market" of Western Medicine ( drugs/pills)..

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm doing a project on herbs and one catagory is the "properties" of herbs. I'm trying to condense all the information from my umpteen dozen books into one single folder. Anyway, only one of my books has info on the medicinal value of cannabis (marijuana). When you read about its medicinal properties it becomes quite clear why it was banned. Over the years doctors and pharmaceuticals would be robbed of billions of dollars in profits for "prescription" drugs. Publically traded corporations would have had very good reason to have marijuana banned. "Drug industry profits are so large they outstrip every other industry's profits by far." That's a quote from - Public Citizen April 18, 2002 One of cannabis' medicinal values is its effectiveness as an antidepressant. Imagine how it could cut into the pharmaceutical's profits!! Here are a few tiny reasons why cannabis must be kept out of the hands of the people at all costs. http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/04/news/companies/antidepressants/index.htm "Any antidepressant drug ends up being a $2 billion drug at least.... Just about everybody has heard of Zoloft. The drug totaled $2.5 billion in sales in the first three quarters of 2005, ...... Robert Hazlett, analyst for Suntrust Robinson Humphrey, said Effexor sales totaled $3.5 billion in 2005 worldwide..... Wyeth filed a new drug application for desvenlafaxine to the FDA on Dec. 22 of last year. Bear Stearns analyst John Boris projects the drug will enter the market in 2007, reaching $1 billion in annual sales by 2010. He adds that Wyeth is well-positioned to "maximize [its] franchise" for antidepressants before Effexor loses patent exclusivity in 2010. " Take a look at the rest of the incredible medicinal values of cannabis. Barb Cannabis (Marijuana) Parts used: flowering tops and seeds Properties: euphorigenic, analgestic-hypnotic, topical anesthetic, antiasthmatic, antibiotic, antiepileptic, antispasmodic, antidepressant, tranquilizer, anti- tussive, appetite stimulant, oxytocic, preventative and anodyne for neuralgia (including migraine), aid to psychotherapy, and an agent to ease withdrawal from alcohol and opiates. No wonder it has been banned!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have a friend with Sleep Apnea, and he takes about ten hits of cannabis each night, it makes him sleep better, he lives with constant depression, but when he is taking the cannabis each night, he says the depression is better. He also told me that it makes sex better for him. He also said that he can stay focused more when he uses it. According to him, his life has been made better because of the use of cannabis. herbal remedies , " Barb Leppky " <bleppky wrote: > > I'm doing a project on herbs and one catagory is the " properties " of herbs.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Daniel, Congratulations for being able to terminate your dependence. That’s great. But your addictive claim for cannabis might suggest a little double standard. Aren’t all antidepressants “addictive”? My point is, under the criteria used to suggest that mj is addictive, all antidepressants would qualify. So the issue that remains is a harm one. Discounting the harm of smoke itself (and the danger and cost of procuring an illegal substance), which do you suppose is least harmful: prescription antidepressants or cannabis? No one is claiming that regular use of cannabis is better than sobriety, when sobriety is healthier. But when sobriety is not healthier (when depression is the alternative), regular use of the least unhealthy antidepressant IS healthier – which is true for any ailment and medication. -Mark ************ {American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote " not guilty " based on nothing more than a disagreement with the case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Since cannabis is a euphoric, and since euphorics make you feel great, I guess you could say that a person could get addicted to it, but as you said " psychologically " . The only thing about it is that it makes you feel so good, nothing else matters. I know a guy who smokes some much of it, he can't do anything. Cannabis is like any other drug, you use only what you need, and no more. There are some people who's lives are so bad, that cannabis is the only release from their terrible lives.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Come on, people If Cannabis was addictive, I would be a ZOMBI. I smoke it since I was 17, now I'm 53 and I still don't know a better medicine against depression. My life is not a misery, I work a lot, produce a lot of things, live normal as everyone, and smoke it everyday... What kind of dope have you been smoking???

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 You sound like my son when he was sixteen. He was argueing with me that marijuana is not addictive and does not open the door to other drugs.Well you got a buddy. My son continues to pick up horrid viruses and barcteri so that he can qualify for the heavest of pharmecuetical drugs. And he also has used marijuana since he was sixteen, He one time was on a camp out with the entire family. He fell out of his camper and embarrassed himself.And injured his ankle. I am a CDP and I can tell you that your brain is full of THC. You seem to think that you are thinking clear. Actually you are in a fog and cannot see it. And if you don't think that that you are addicted to it, why do you use it everyday?If it was gambling, or ice cream you would probably call it addiction. What is going on in your life that you feel that you have to put a mask on your life? Life is suspose to be wonderfull, full of adventure and happiness.( commonly called JOY) Earthfeathersagullinha7 <sagullinha7 wrote: Come on, peopleIf Cannabis was addictive, I would be a ZOMBI.
