Medical Cannabis

Tony, I'm migraine-prone and I've suffered a couple of  whoppers thus far, so I literally feel your pain.  I just wanted to ask everyone what you think about using medical m as an analgesic in these situations, given that one recent troubling French study about daily use and the acceleration of fibrosis?    The study didn't specify the delivery system, so they may have been documenting the effect of daily intake of carcinogens via smoking.

Thanks, I did recently see an article about valarian root as one of the herbs that may cause liver toxicity.. I have only used it a few times, I personally like Melatonin if I can't get to sleep.. it is naturally produced by the body, and is what your body is lacking if you are unable to sleep. Have you seen any bad info on it, or had a problem with sleep yet?? Very interested in the vaporizor. Sounds like something out of a Star Trek episode. Careful, I'll vaporize you! I must be getting old, what happened to glass bongs, and zig zags?? Rx'd by a Dr of course..

Valerian may not be the best thing to use with liver inflammation,  as it can have an overheating or stimulating effect.   And be real careful with the brands you're using.   All companies are not created equal.

No, gosh darn it, I'm not too high.  This is the real problem with middle age, my son -- you learn a little restraint!    But Marsh Mellow does have that certain ring, doesn't it?    What I'm referring to are devices called vaporizers (check google & Ebay).    Just took the plunge a couple of weeks ago myself  'cause I wanted to avoid unnecessary toxic pollutants in the lungs.  A vaporizer releases the THC at a lower temperature (vaporizes, not burns).  The super expensive $500  German device called The Volcano, a ballon-like contraption, is laboratory tested by NORML and  highly recommended by them.   But no, I didn't go there.   A local LVN recommended Vaporizer Brothers at 1/5th the price.   I _can_ tell you that with the VB model all heat and scorch are completely gone.  Very gentle on the raw throat and tight lungs.  And who says pegasys is going to kick your butt anyway?

I know that alot of people say that they have trouble sleeping at night.. Most have stated that they have their Dr prescribe them a medication.. Has anyone tried Melatonin?? Or any of the natural remedies, such as SleepyTime Tea, or Valarian root. I personally do not like Valarian, as it gives me sort of a hangover in the morning.. Just curious.
