Study Confirms Marijuana Can Help In Arthritis

[itchy]

Jesus you lot dont get it at all???

I smoke and I enjoy it but! After awhile you do not feel the effects
of giggles, munchies etc you just relax.

The more you smoke the less mad you feel? If that makes sense...

My missus and a close friend cannot touch the stuff sends them nuts, but
i can smoke it all day and night and have no ill effects.

Dont get me wrong if I am out on the pop I dont smoke it, but when
I come home after a skin full and have just one, emergency fetal position and sleep!

Some people can and some cannot smoke it, that is what it boils down too.

If it can kill or send you psychotic then I should be a one flew over the cuckoo`s nest or dead after 25 years....

pahahahahahaha lightweight, i mean who does this though? Seriously. And a couple of hours? gimme a break.

Its not an unusual "side effect" to lose track of time and/or slightly altered perception of time but IIRC those kind of effects usually wear off in like 15 minutes tops not 2 hours.

Well you don't get it in that reference as the idea is it can "induce" a psychotic episode. given you don't suffer from any mental illnesses that result in you having psychotic episodes it's not going to affect you in that way.

It's like claiming you've been taking certain medication for years with no problems so it's 100% safe yet to a person with the right heart condition it could induce a heart attack.

but yes well done you have an acquired tolerance what relevance is that to anyone?

Biggest alteration of time perception is gaming period! I done loads of stuff nothing comes close to a good game to eat time like popcorn...

Think the last time I've really had that happen proper is when Unreal Tournament (99) was released - bought it, came home started playing about 2-3 in the afternoon - found a busy assault server mostly playing operation overlord and next thing I knew I could hear birds tweeting and it was gone 4am - literally I thought it was like maybe 10pm at the latest.

Because the more you use the less side effects you feal and more pain relief, sleep etc or what ever ailment you are suffering.

What I am saying is do not be afraid of the side effects if the drug is helping you, as over time the psychotic effects become less.

pain relief is a side effect though. I've been on strong opiates for a while and now barely feel the effects of them and the pain reducing effects have also diminished.

however no matter how long you've been taking weed you're not going to be safely work in many environments because of the reduced reactio ntimes etc

What I am saying is do not be afraid of the side effects if the drug is helping you, as over time the psychotic effects become less.

I hope you mean psychoactive effects there not psychotic, as they're radically different meanings and if you've been having psychotic effects you should probably go check yourself into an assessment ward for your own safety.

 

[Efour]

Its a relaxant so im not surprised it "has benefits"
id guess drinking 1L of vodka would relax you too and help you forget about the pain.

Need a test subject ?

lol

Ok a misinterpretation on my behalf hands up I digress!

Opiates only work for so long, I do not know what your taking or for what, but
I know all opiate based drugs the tolerance build up is fast.

Thats why cannabis I think is a solution once you get passed the buzz effect.
It does work, the is many stories about it working on many things from cancer to alzheimer's.

It is mad the law on cannabis as I have taken most drugs and I find cannabis least effective than alcohol in many ways. But as I said before some can some cannot, my missus can drink 2 bottles of red wine in a night! that would put me in a coma or kill me. If she smoked 10 joints a night same effect she would be in a coma or dead lol!!

Swings and roundabouts I say!

This is the exact reason marijuana is illegal!

Do you think they actually care about drug abuse? please.

Firstly, the issue here is that marijuana makes the phrase "money doesn't grow on trees" factually incorrect and the government most definitely doesn't like that.

Secondly, most people can produce this medicine with very little expertise and a £20-50 one-time investment, yet to make anything GSK or Bayer and the entire pharmaceuticals industry currently make, you need million dollar equipment, hundreds and thousands of clever minds, and huge production plants.

Now I'm a regular. I had a cold the other day. In front of me I had a few grams of weed and a pack of Nurofen. Lets just say the Nurofen is still sealed and I also got my remedy.

Now ask yourself, how many currently legal drugs can you make at home with next to no effort?

No ill effects? Clearly it also causes some severe side effects such as excessive use of smilies.

 

[Guru]

I used to smoke loads, I don't any more, but I do have savage arthiritis. I wouldn't want to get high to be out of pain, but I would love to have some way to make the pain more bearable.

Any idea if the UK will even allow the use of medicinal marijuana?

Not in our life time.
Think about this, big pharma wouldn't make money from crap like chemo (yes, chemo is actually a killer), painkillers and paracetamol and lots of other stuff, simply because cannabis is a weed and anyone could grow and distil the THC rich oil, in their back yard. (THC has massive healing properties, including cancer, search up Rick Simpson)
The oil industry would cease to exist, plastic companies would be able to produce their very own hemp oil for next to nothing, much faster than big oil can pump it out the ground.
The cotton industry would collapse as hemp fibres are easier, faster and cheaper to produce, not to mention better quality.
The logging industry would also collapse for the exact same reason as cotton, hemp paper is again, easier and faster to produce than wood based paper.
The government wouldn't make money from fuel tax, again anyone could produce the stuff in their back yard, and within 3 months be able to power their car for a year on hemp oil.
Not to mention the taxes the government collect from all of those industries I have listed above, not just corporate tax, but VAT on pretty much every thing!
And the best part, all of those industries I listed pay the government several billion to keep cannabis illegal, in order for them to keep making money.
If the government relax their stance on cannabis, they threaten to pull funding.

So, as long as they are all making money, cannabis will stay illegal.
This is just the 4 big industries too, possibilities of cannabis is infinite almost, it would pretty much destroy most western industries as we know them. (and I am all for it )

Now ask yourself, how many currently legal drugs can you make at home with next to no effort?

Now let me ask you, what types of weed can I smoke to help reduce the pain from the Arthritis in my elbows and right ankle that will allow me to 1) Stay awake through my 12 hour shift. 2) Actually allow me to work in any hazardous working environment. 3) Let me legally drive a motor vehicle for the 5/6 hour drive I'd have to do to then get home.

I also know a fair few people that smoke weed, and they're in their late 40/50s and all have absolutely no mental capability at all it's clearly affected them in the long run.

Relieving pain and being wasted out of your mind are two completely different things.

Also, if the post above mine isn't a joke I'm mind boggled, hemp is not illegal to grow in the UK so long as it has a low THC content, you can make bio oil if you like and run your car of that, so you can already avoid that tax if you like.

N1) Stay awake through my 12 hour shift.... 3) Let me legally drive a motor vehicle for the 5/6 hour drive I'd have to do to then get home.

So on days you work you spend 10-12 hours driving to and from work while also doing a 12 hour shift?

 

[Antony101]

I generally do 5/6 hours drive to work, 12 hour shifts and 30/45 minutes (each way) travelling to my hotel between shifts. Then on the last shift I grab some sleep back at the hotel and drive home.

arrr get you now, I was thinking those hours don't work out and no wonder you're in pain.

My brother has just been diagnosed with arthritis, and I've had pains in my knee's for years but got told the blood tests were negative for it (turns out the results never came through) so had more tests the other day.

Massive pains in my left shoulder, knee's, feels like a pin through my right elbow and aches in my knuckles. hoping it's not going to be arthritis but who knows

What about Dronabinol pills?
