Medical Cannabis / Marijuana

I find it interesting that the psychiatric labeling has been applied, "amotivational syndrome". Could it be that weed enlightens folks to the futility of the paradigm that they're living in?

I know quite a few people that seem to get busy when they smoke it because it seems to organize their thoughts. So, it is having the opposite effect on them. The effect on me-I just want to eat and zone out. That's why I rarely do it.

The strain is the key mostly, different genetics. Its the most beautiful plant grown in so many ways. Organically of course

4. Psilocybin could kill smoking addiction.

Psychiatry professor Matthew Johnson, who works at Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine, presented the preliminary results of a pilot feasibility study
looking at the ability of psilocybin to treat smoking addiction at the 2013
Psychedelic Science conference in Oakland, Calif. For the study, five cigarette-
addicted participants underwent placebo-controlled psilocybin treatment with a
psychiatrist. All five completely quit smoking after their first psilocybin session. At
all followup visits, which occurred up to one year later for the first four participants,
it was biologically confirmed that the participants had abstained from cigarettes.’

I hadn't heard of that application of psilocybin. But I've never felt psilocybin to make me want to not smoke tobacco. However, there is another psychedelic that has. In fact, it's the way that I quit smoking. There is a psychedelic called DXM (Dextromethorphan) that is classified as a dissociative anesthetic (same class of drugs as ketamine, PCP, nitrous oxide) that is available over the counter in cough syrup. In large doses it kills nicotine cravings. It does this by antagonizing the Alpha-3 Beta-4 nicotinic receptors A and B.

It should be noted that not only is it effective at suppressing nicotine cravings while on it, but also for days afterward. And you can redose if the cravings persist. It depends on the body weight of the person to determine dosage, but for me it's effective in suppressing nicotine cravings at about 350 mg. The night I quit, I dosed (by drinking a 4 fl oz bottle of DXM ONLY containing syrup, no other ingredients, which costs about the same amount of money as a pack of cigarettes) and sat back and watched a movie. By the time it kicked in, I actually gave my pack of cigarettes and my lighter away and told the person I gave them to, "I don't need these anymore." And I haven't looked back. And I had a very pleasant time doing it. Here is a scientific article showing what I'm talking about: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10869398

~the Dutch think crazy people smoke weed and not vice versa, i.e. it's not the causative agent in mental illness
....

etc.

I just want to comment on the "demotivational" effects of Cannabis. I am not a very motivated person, and I still smoke pot occasionally and used to a fair bit from the age of about 22.

I want so hard to blame pot on my lack of motivation, but when I think back, I was ALWAYS this way. My parents used to accuse me of being a pot smoker in high school because of my lack of motivation for school and frankly anything -- didn't get my license until I was 18, had a brilliant mind, yet skipped class and didn't do my homework - relied on tests to get me my c+ average.

I wish I COULD blame my lack of motivation on something, but it has been with me since my late blooming ego started giving the orders (around 6 or 7). All through high school I was clean and never touched drugs and rarely drank, yet there I was, already with motivational issues. If is a study were done on me it would conclude it was from the pot. Sigh.

Might it be that non-motivated people are more inclined to try and use mind altering substances?


PS Memory is humanities greatest gift, and the thing that causes us the most strife, maintaining the "fall" each day, because we remember our emotional programs from yesterday ...

That was very nice of you to share this information about yourself and you remind me of not only that Paul Rudd character in "Our Idiot Brother" but of my son too.... in some ways.

My son was in a special program for gifted students, the Gate Program, where he was a straight A student all throughout grade school and junior high. But once he hit high school, he barely squeaked through with nothing but C's and an occasional B here and there (but always A's in art). Granted he was in advance classes in everything, he barely had any interest in school anymore and instead focused on his snowboarding... and his friends.

Then when he went to college, he flunked out his first couple of semesters but then was pardoned by the "Freshman Forgiveness" policy they had there so he was able to start over with a new clean slate. Well, things improved grade-wise but he has always insisted on working at least 30 hrs a week at a job that allows him the time flexibility to fit in his classes at the time when they are offered. By doing it that way, it has stretched out his college career like taffy but he doesn't care. He's always been one to march to his own drummer and I'm very proud of him for being that way too.

Did he smoke pot in high school, lol, I'm sure about that one and of course I know he smokes pot now too. But of course, as a parent, when bad stuff comes out about pot, I read it and ... worry... a little.

But here's the bottom line. He's a sweet, caring and very sensitive individual. He's someone that more or less lives in the moment and is willing to take the chance that the future will somehow work itself out when the time arrives. That he came to that "awareness" so early when most of us don't "get it" until much later in our lives is something that I always marvel at. You sound like you're the same way and GOOD FOR YOU! All the power to you!

$64 million in bribes paid to UK doctors last year by drug companies






‘New data that once again highlights the incestuous relationship between Big
Pharma and the medical industry indicate that British doctors were paid some $64
million by drug makers, which was only slightly less than in 2012.

According to Reuters, such industry payments to physicians have increasingly come
under scrutiny following several scandals involving drug sales practices, most
notably in the United States, as well as concerns that such close ties put
commercial interests of drug makers ahead of what is best for patients.’

As noted by Reuters:

The figure, announced by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry
(ABPI) on Thursday, was slightly down on the 2012 level of 40 million pounds
[about $66.9 million].

Cozy relationships going to see the light of day

Criticism of the tight relationship between healthcare providers -- doctors especially
-- and pharmaceutical companies has led to some companies rethinking their
operations. For example, in December, GlaxoSmithKline said it would stop
payments to doctors to promote its drugs, but the company will still pay fees for
clinical research and advisory work.

Several other firms have also agreed to take limited steps to reduce physician-
related marketing practices. That includes AstraZeneca, which announced in 2011
that the pharmaceutical would end payments to doctors for attending international
congresses.

Under American healthcare laws, drug companies must now disclose all payments
to doctors; in Europe, meanwhile, pharmaceuticals will be required to make public
the names of individual physicians they have paid beginning in 2016.

In the interim before the law kicks in, the ABPI has taken to providing aggregate
figures based on data from 34 of 40 top drug makers operating in Britain. The trade
group said that payments to doctors last year, overall, comprised 27.7 million
pounds ($46.3 million) for consultancy services and 10.8 million pounds ($18
million) in sponsorship to attend third-party meetings.

Release of Medicare data reveals massive fraud, drug company collusion and bilking of taxpayers




‘Do you know what happens to your earnings after they are swept up and tossed
into the Medicare black hole?

A massive, new Medicare data release has uncovered a multimillion-dollar scandal
that has been growing through the years. Consumer groups have been pressuring
the government to release recent Medicare data and were taken aback when the
numbers were finally unveiled.

The data release reveals that government intervention in the marketplace has
created a cursed system of fraud, a cycle of inefficiency and a dependency that has
catered to special interests governing the medical establishment. Furthermore, the
data release shows that the fraudulent Medicare system has been pressuring
doctors to fraud taxpayers exponentially, as drug companies grow richer.’


The government program, designed to provide health insurance for senior citizens,
is really just a paradigm of social control, robbing citizens as they go through life
and then enslaving them to a system of abusive medicine as they age.

As the country's number one purchaser of healthcare services, Medicare ultimately
shells out at least $77 billion to healthcare providers in a one-year time period --
according to the new 2012 data release. It's now apparent that this long-standing
program has ballooned the cost of healthcare through the years, propping up a
health insurance industry as the only answer to cover the bloated costs. Now the
whole controlled medical system is so inefficient that even health insurance has
become unaffordable for millions. But, believe it or not, some think that more
government intervention and mandates is the answer, hence the formation of
Obamacare and forced health insurance. This will not only perpetuate the problem,
but also prop up drug companies as the greatest dictators in the history of mankind.


One doctor raked in $20.8 million from Medicare in 2012 alone

To understand the extent of this fraudulent waste, go no further than Dr. Salomon
Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who raked in $20.8 million from Medicare in 2012
alone. Dr. Melgen isn't the only one bathing in the fraud of this crony government
program. Medicare dished out over $1 million to almost 4,000 doctors in 2012,
according to the new data release analyzed by The Washington Post.

Jonathan Blum, principal deputy administrator for the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, is calling on the public for help in identifying fraud. He
says, "The program is funded by and large by taxpayer dollars. The public has a
right to know what it is paying for. We know there is fraud in the system. We are
asking for the public's help to check, to find waste, and to find potential fraud."


Getting to the root of the problem
But picking through the large data sets to find fraudulent intent is nearly impossible
and doesn't address the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem
lies in the idea itself -- dependency on government management of healthcare and
government management of the fruits of the people's labor.

The database release, which includes over 10 million lines of data, is a perfect
example of government ravaging the liberties and economic freedoms of the
people. It shows a government system poorly adopted, lacking accountability and
bloated beyond measure. The program is so out of control that it practically
camouflages waste, inefficiency and fraud. The data shows how many services
physicians are providing, "but you don't know how large their practices are, and
you don't know how specialized they are toward Medicare patients," said Urban
Institute senior Stephen Zuckerman in an interview with CBS.

Dr. Melgen, the nation's leading Medicare collector, stated to CBS in legal papers
that the billings are made "in conformity with Medicare rules."

Employing a staff of 30 people, operating out of four separate offices, Dr. Melgen,
like other doctors, knows how to pull in as much money as possible from the
Medicare program. In one instance, he billed Medicare $11.8 million for injections
of a drug used to treat macular degeneration.


The Medicare system allows drug companies to control healthcare, bilking
taxpayers in the process

But maybe the blame shouldn't fall primarily on doctors. After reviewing the cost of
the drugs, it seems that the drug companies have the upper hand in the system.
Drug companies charge bloated sums for their drugs because they know doctors
lean on them for the treatments and are entitled to large amounts of Medicare
money. Dr. Melgen's attorney said, "The facts are that doctors receive six percent
above what they pay for drugs, the amount billed by physicians is set by law, and
drug companies set the price of drugs, not doctors."

So in the end, it's the drug companies dictating the cost, and the government
Medicare program is the driving system which allows this cursed cycle to bloat. The
doctors are really just the middle men, abiding by the system that they were
brought up in and taught into. Still, the public can expect fraud investigators and
the media to pen the fault on doctors in the years ahead, as the root system
continues down its treacherous road, keeping its crooked wheels a-turning.

The reality behind the swine flu conspiracy

Tuesday 15th April 2014 at 05:06 By David Icke





The message is clear – we are all going to die from swine flu. It spreads fast, it is
dangerous, and it must be feared – says the World Health Organization.

But worry not – there is a way to save yourself. Just get a flu shot – and purchase
a remedy for the deadly virus. Those are the instructions from the WHO.

However, the WHO may find itself coughing up explanations, as more and more
scientists and health researchers, and even journalists, are starting to question the
organization’s motives behind raising the alert so quickly.

According to the Danish Daily Information newspaper, the WHO and pharmaceutical
companies are suffering from the profit bug. Or, to put it simply, the chief health
care organization in the world has teamed up with the drug makers to create a
phantom monster – and to rake in cash by selling a remedy for it.’

Drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline bribed doctors to boost sales, says whistleblower

Monday 14th April 2014 at 05:36 By David Icke





‘Britain’s biggest drug company, GlaxoSmithKline, allegedly bribed doctors in
Poland using money that was meant to be spent on educating patients, according
to new evidence revealed today by the BBC Panorama programme.

A GSK whistleblower claims that money put aside to teach patients in Poland about
an asthma drug, Seretide, actually went towards paying doctors to prescribe more
of the medicine.

Jarek Wisniewiski, who was with the company for eight years until 2012, worked on
a marketing programme across the country in 2010 to push the asthma drug.

He told Panorama that although officially the money was to be spent on medical
training, in reality it was used to bribe doctors to boost the company’s sales.’

What the Tamiflu saga tells us about drug trials and big pharma

Friday 11th April 2014 at 05:00 By David Icke







‘Today we found out that Tamiflu doesn’t work so well after all. Roche, the drug
company behind it, withheld vital information on its clinical trials for half a decade,
but the Cochrane Collaboration, a global not-for-profit organisation of 14,000
academics, finally obtained all the information. Putting the evidence together, it has
found that Tamiflu has little or no impact on complications of flu infection, such as
pneumonia.

That is a scandal because the UK government spent £0.5bn stockpiling this drug in
the hope that it would help prevent serious side-effects from flu infection. But the
bigger scandal is that Roche broke no law by withholding vital information on how
well its drug works. In fact, the methods and results of clinical trials on the drugs
we use today are still routinely and legally being withheld from doctors, researchers
and patients. It is simple bad luck for Roche that Tamiflu became, arbitrarily, the
poster child for the missing-data story.’

Interesting article below stating a man in colorado hallucinated from pot and shot his wife in Colorado.

http://news.yahoo.com/police-man-ate...BTNUUAFZPQtDMD

This is extremely interesting to me because I predicted to my boyfriend months ago that the government was using colorado to legalize weed, set it up as amazing and then smash it down. I realize that weed has been legalized elsewhere first, but something about Colorado was different. There was so so much press and positive coverage of it. MSM only covers what it is told to HOW it is told to, and they have been demonizing marijuana for years to hide it from us. Why would they suddenly with THIS state paint it this way? I believe to knock it down in a planned way.

Could this be the start of my prediction? I hope not. I want to be wrong about this one.

Interesting .. in all my years of use .. all my acquaintances that used, all my research, never an indication that pot caused powerful hallucinations. Never ever one time. A quick internet search shows people actually quite "familiar" with the drug reporting the same as my experiences ... interesting. I'd say you are on to something.

I seriously dont believe the effects of pot to be the true causes for those situations. Remembering back to when i first smoked, i forgot how to move and ended up lying on the floor for a couple of hours giggling telling the dog to bugger off and stop licking me. Another occasion i was watching "Idle Hands" with some friends, then i thought something in my head and the person next to me replied, i was like DUDE HOW ARE YOU IN MY HEAD! (i must have said it out loud)

So that's 2 things that should really freak people out. Unable to move, and thinking someone can hear what your thinking. I swear there's probably a more scientific explanation, but an effect of pot is calming/relaxing/de-stressing. It's also a downer... It's something you use with the intention of not doing too much physical activity afterwards...

Hallucinations and Suicide? Not unless the pot had been tampered with and something else that specifically causes those effects added.

We also seem to be ignoring the many many many practical uses that MJ has - You could turn Acres of Pot not only into stuff to smoke/use medicinally - but what's left of the plant (other than the buds) can then be turned into hemp, then used to make clothes, paper, furniture..... It would be a lot better on the environment but also it threatens a lot of big company's income..... Governments will do whatever is necessary to protect their master's (corporations) wallets.... becuase pot is so easy to grow and you can grow a damn lot of it with ease, it would not take long for the market to become flooded with hemp products, ultimately driving the price down very cheap - as it should be, because it costs dick all to produce.

[Zaya]

I am going to create a new thread to keep up with my theories about this over in the conspiracy forum so as to not derail this one any further. Just as an FYI.

'Marijuana refugees' give cannabis to epileptic children5 hours ago

Parents in the US with severely epileptic children are turning to marijuana for
treatment. Oil produced from a strain of the plant, which doesn't make the children
high, appears to be having a dramatic effect on reducing seizures. It's being
produced in Colorado, one of the two US states which has legalised cannabis.

Although not scientifically proven, families think it's making a big difference - and a
British pharmaceutical company is trialling a new epilepsy drug based on cannabis
extract, which has been approved by the US Federal Drug Administration.

The BBC's Alastair Leithead reports.

Marijuana May Heal Health Problems That Come With Old Age: How Can People Living in Senior Homes Get It?

‘Sue Taylor, a retired Catholic school principal and grandmother from Oakland,

“He told me, ‘Mom, I know how you can open up your metaphysical holistic center,’

Medical cannabis proves miraculous for terminally-ill pets

Tags: cannabis, pets, terminal illness




‘If your pet was sick, you would do anything possible to help it get better, right?
Well the verdict is in, and medical cannabis is the way to go. Pet owners
everywhere, thanks to the devoted work of people like California veterinarian Dr.
Doug Kramer (who unfortunately passed away last summer), are coming to the
realization that cannabis works, and that prohibition of a substance with such
limitless therapeutic potential is a waste of resources and an affront to health freedom.

During an interview last spring with Vice.com, Dr. Kramer, who was also known
as “The Vet Guru,” provided insight into the beneficial effects of cannabis for pets.
A longtime advocate of the therapy, Dr. Kramer told the story of how he was first
introduced to the idea through one of his clients who successfully treated her
terminally-ill dog Nikita, who had been diagnosed with “untreatable” cancer, using
medical cannabis.’

My stepson/son I hate that word step, but he had severe adhd his mom a gin and crack addiction, fas/fetal alcohol syndrome/learning disability, because he couldn't concentrate long enough to obtain lessons in school. His father being a chronic lower back discs sufferer and sciatic nerve spasm, used to go outside and smoke one w/coffee in our yard where I had it like my version of the garden of Eden. Little did we know our son was up in the window where sometimes a puff or two might float up. Anyway he came down because he also suffers chronic asthma and had to have hot steam lots of times before I met his single father and this would worry my hubby endlessly up nights listening for wheezing attacks, he asked for coffee, and I just looked at him and his father. His father said, doctor says sometimes coffee helps his asthma? Hey, what did I know about asthma, so of course I searched. I found that MJ also as a natural herb calms and repairs air passage ways in the lungs if vaporized. I told hubby after. He said he's only 13, but he was missing so much school because they wouldn't allow him his ventilizer, unless a docs note and hubby biggest sin is procrastination and follow up. Never got note, and then when he did give the school a note, it was every year to every school updated note. WE kept that boy alive. One time it was winter and he had an attack at 16, someone had picked on him, (very short stunted growth) and he came in so upset, he went into attack on his lungs through hyperventilation. Steam didn't help, because every time he thought about it, it just kept going. All his "why's" would come forth. Why am I so sick, why can't I play football, why can't you work a job like other daddy's? Why, why did momma drink and use crack while carrying me?

We did the best to calm him down in our room where we had smoked a joint. The boy seemed to calm down within minutes, and was able to breath better there. That was when my husband realized. 17 after struggling through HS w/barely a C, he started smoking with older boys, and he told his dad, that when he smokes, he can think better. That was how the boy put it, and he would know if stuff was scrambled in his mind or straight at that age. WE wanted to kick ourselves for waiting so long. He started making B's and A's and not sports. Math, science, music excelling. His last year, he came home w/3 A's and 1 C and 3 B's. I'd say that's learning our ABC's about mj and mental illness or brain damage and breathing difficulties. The serotonin levels are raised to balance the confusion, of the mind, thereby allowing for retention of studies even complicated ones. He's a strong interest in auto repair, and right now I can't help but wonder if the tinkering w/electrical stereos and small engines for scooters, that if we would have had him on a regimin mj, he couldn't have done a skill college or something. Instead, his health got better but the opportunities did not. He got jobs, and because of his height, they worked him like a dog, and paid him like a child. He quit. Long story short, there is a pharmaceutical company pumping out Marijuana oil for seizures in hopes of ending Englands epileptic children's misery.

Stupid Reefer Madness MOVIE messed up the oldster's heads, and I can imagine back then how the NWO probably played lots and lots of fear games/did a number, in communities in 1900's, to keep them afraid of listening within and just to whatever was on the boob tube.

My boy is able to cope with his insecurities in the world for being a shorty, asthma(no attacks in 3 years even in spring w/pollen allegies), and learning disability from FAS, and that's all the proof I need.

This is more than medicine. It's our companion plant. We need it. It has given me health since cancer in 2012.

The asthma thing is true.
I had an attack yesterday in the park after scaling a dirt wall/cliff.

Had run out of green a few days before.
Worst asthma attack in YEARS.

Learn about the amazing health benefits of juicing raw cannabis (marijuana) leaves

(NaturalNews) Contrary to popular belief, the marijuana plant is a whole lot more than just a psychoactive drug that "stoners" use to get high. In raw form, marijuana leaves and buds are actually loaded with a non-psychoactive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrient compound known as cannabidiol (CBD) that is proving to be a miracle "superfood" capable of preventing and reversing a host of chronic illnesses.

Though you may not have heard much about it, the CBD found in the marijuana plant -- marijuana is technically just a vegetable, by the way -- is a highly medicinal substance with unique immune-regulating capabilities. Since the human body already contains a built-in endogenous cannabinoid system, complete with cannabinoid receptors, inputting CBD from marijuana can help normalize the body's functional systems, including cell communication and proper immune function.

The way CBDs work is that they bridge the gap of neurotransmission in the central nervous system, including in the brain, by providing a two-way system of communication that completes a positive "feedback loop," according to Dr. William Courtney, a medical marijuana expert and founder of Cannabis International. As opposed to a one-way transmission, which can promote chronic inflammation of healthy tissue, the unique two-way transmission system engaged by marijuana CBDs mimics the body's own natural two-way communications system.

So individuals whose systems are compromised by autoimmune disorders, cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, cancer cells, and various other illnesses can derive a wide range of health-promoting benefits simply by consuming CBDs. And one of the best ways to obtain CBDs is to juice raw marijuana leaves and buds, according to Dr. Courtney, who currently runs a clinic in Luxembourg that provides raw cannabis medicinal services to patients in need.

"CBD works on receptors, and as it turns out, we have cannabinoids in our bodies, endogenous cannabinoids, that turn out to be very effective at regulating immune functions, nerve functions, bone functions," says Dr. Ethan Russo, a Seattle, Wash.-area physician who is also a senior advisor to GW Pharmaceuticals, a British drug company that is utilizing CBDs in a new marijuana mouth spray known as Sativex.

"There's a tendency to discount claims when something appears to be good for everything, but there's a reason this is the case. The endogenous cannabinoid system acts as a modulator in fine-tuning a lot of these systems, and if something is deranged biochemically in a person's body, it may well be that a cannabinoid system can bring things back into balance."
