Posted by: Cannabinoids and our bodys

01/19/2010

We really need to get cannabis rescheduled. It can do much more for the humane body than pain relief. For yourself, if you like, try looking up cannabinoids and see what you find(anti-cancer). If that is not enough to blow your mind, look up the nutritional of hemp(cannabis)seed(good for heart and brain). Seems to me, big pharma doesn't want us to know all cannabis can do. It has had many uses, not just medicinal. Like others say, we can grow and make our own cures, just like we did prior to prohibition for thousands of years. Prohibition of cannabis has always been about someones profit margin. It has nothing to do with it being physically dangerous.

Posted by: Science has finally caught up with medical cannabis

01/15/2010

This is a good story and the science is supporting everything users have been saying for decades, so finally science has caught up with the facts.

One thing that is beginning to irritate, the term marijuana, is simply that a slang term, it is not a plant or any part of a plant.

The species is Cannabis, there are 3 main strains and some 15000 cultivated varieties from there. Not one of these are marijuana.

Please start using the plant species by its correct name Cannabis and if you know then mention which variety we are discussing.

Marijuana is ignorance
Cannabis is medicine

Posted by: Great article!

01/15/2010

Thank you for this article! It's so great to read all this stuff, and not just on the "Cannabis Culture Magazine" website, either (God bless them, though). About 3 years ago, I slipped a disk in my lower back and spent nearly 5 months sleeping on a foam mattress on my lounge room floor because of the pain. I went through traction, and was popping 8 to 10 codeine/paracetamol tablets a day (not real good for one's kidneys, liver, or brain). I was a confirmed recreational herb smoker before, during and after this; but the whole experience showed me that while cannabis does not "take all the pain away" in my case, it certainly reduces it. Plus, you know what? It's a bunch of fun, and I really dig the way it helps me focus and think about things. Peace to all who read... may common sense rule regarding this God-given herb! (see Genesis 1:12,29)
