Hi Ted,
it is horrible that your uncle is in pain, and he sounds like someone who needs a consultation from a chronic pain specialist. There are many options from ensuring that he is on adequate dosages of opiates, that they are long enough lasting, and that medications are being delivered to the sites where he is having pain. There are many adjunctive therapies that are not opiate based ( drugs called membrane stabilizing agents, centrally acting nonnarcotic agents, and others) The trade name for THC is marinol. It is used as an appetite stimulant, and as an antinausea agent, primarily. Some use it as an adjunct for pain- I believe it may be useful in that context, but is never appropriate as a primary analgesic (painkiller) as there are much more effective agents. Your uncle sounds like he needs someone agressively treating his nausea (for which THC can be useful, among many agents) as well. There are also nondrug theraies, like implanted nerve stimulators, which help many cancer patients with pain.

 

I have ZERO faith in modern medicine to assist with my chronic pain. Been to so many doctors, so many x-rays, they never see anything wrong so they just tell me to live with it. It's a crock of shit, so I no longer go to modern medicine for help, I find my own solutions that work wonders and allow me to continue being a productive member of my community.

 

Have you ever picked up a copy of something like Pharmacotheon or chemical abstracts? It doesnt require a medical degree to make intelligent decisions, it only requires intelligence. I partially agree with you that the average person will not be intelligent enough to do the research before ingesting an unknown substance.....but screw them....natural selection in progress.

As for the natural herbal supplements and such.... most modern supplements are derivated from supplemental compounds that have been in use for thousands of years. Yes, the FDA and USDA may not approve them, and there may not be any modern clinical trials performed but several thousand years of human use says a lot about a substance or compound to me.

Drugs are a double edged sword for certain, marijuana or otherwise, but a little common sense goes a long way. Too bad most people lack it.

 

where is the official marijuana thread, i seem to have lost it along with my memory.

 

I started smoking weed in 8th grade. that was the first time i smoked. It wasnt until sophmore year in highschool that i really started smoking it. I wasnt the best student, hell my grades C,D,F's. Junior year i started seeing an improvment in my grades when i started smoking daily. I was so stressed out that weed was the only thing really relaxing me keeping me in the zone. Senior year my grades got even better but they wern't amazign, but i still graduated. I just recently finished Chubb institute with a 4.0gpa and got an excellence award for not missing any days.

i have my days.. sometimes i hate it im sick of it and i dont even want to look at it..but theres just somthing about twisting a blunt and sitting back.

i also hate when people talk bad about weed saying its not going to get you anywhere it just makes you lazy

please if your blaming being lazy on pot you have issues. and if your blaming it on pot for not being any where in life you also have some issues.

im 21 and have my own design studio, car pay for some bills but still live at home saving up...while my friend on the other hand who is also 21 has no job and just recently got arrested for pot and also dosnt go to school...he blames it on the weed. but meh whatever
