How To Get Cannabis Prescribed In The UK? Here's the method - first, a GP cannot prescribe medical quality cannabis oil ("Sativex"). They can however refer you to a pain clinic that specialises in pain (typically, Multiple Sclerosis sufferers).
At the pain clinic, you inform the consultant that you use cannabis as a palliative and it is effective. You listen to their bullshit.
Then you ask them to prescribe Sativex, from Beyer & Beyer. If they refuse, you can then report them to the General Medical Council for negligence (usually the threat works).
If they still won't prescribe, the only legal reason to possess cannabis is for "medical necessity". If you can prove, in writing, that you have a medical condition that cannabis can treat, the courts CANNOT find you guilty FOR YOUR OWN STASH. You may still NOT supply it, although if you can prove (again, in writing) that you ONLY supply medical necessity, the CPS would be most unwilling to prosecute.
Thanks to local disabled hero Hugo for this. Guy has a letter from the Chief Constable, apology in writing and undertaking not to further harass.12…89

Medical MARIJUANA in the Netherlands – June 2001 Medical marijuana
By RNW.nl - June 2001
Copyright: RNW.nl
Paul's last visit to Amsterdam was to say his "farewell to marijuana". He's 43, a musician and a producer, and lives with his wife in Minnesota, in the USA. He's been smoking marijuana for 27 years. "Like many of my peers in the 1970's, I began smoking marijuana socially. I found that I enjoyed the effects of marijuana over those of alcohol".
But Paul's story is very different to most of the other tourists you'll meet in Amsterdam's coffeeshops. Paul is going blind. "I am losing my eyesight to a combination of retinitis pigmentosa and cataracts. I also suffer from nystagmus, a condition which causes the eyes to tremble rapidly. This causes a stroboscopic effect in my vision". He's been told that people who have this disorder typically lose their reading vision somewhere between the ages of 25 and 30, and that within another 10 years, somewhere between 35 and 40, the vision is reduced further and you are left only being able to see light. But Paul appears to have defied these predictions, and he's convinced it has something to do with the fact that he smokes marijuana. "There appears to be a strong correlation between the fact that I have been a steady, but moderate cannabis user, and the fact that I retained my reading vision until about 6 months ago". In his opinion, "Marijuana use may have added between 5 and 15 additional years of usable vision to me".
Easing Discomfort:
In addition to apparently slowing down his loss of vision, Paul says the use of cannabis helps ease the discomfort caused by the condition. "Rather than treating the tremors of the eyes with diazepam or a muscle relaxant, I choose to self-medicate with marijuana". Some people might say it was just a coincidence, and that the marijuana doesn't have anything to do with it? But Paul says "five different doctors have agreed, at least in principle, that marijuana may have contributed to the preservation of my eyesight.
The effectiveness of marijuana in treating my eye disorders may be a matter of faith, or of pharmacology. Sadly, in the U.S. I may never really get to find out which".
The U.S. government only rarely allows medical research into the uses of marijuana, and of course, in the USA anyone caught using or in possession of cannabis faces prosecution.
Forced to Choose:
So why is Paul turning his back on the very thing he thinks is helping him? "In the USA, I am forced to choose between breaking the law, endangering our livelihood and placing my wife's career in jeopardy, or to abstain from marijuana, thus avoiding prosecution, but losing the benefits of cannabis for my eyes and health. In light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, [a ruling that "medical necessity" is no defence for marijuana use], and the current political situation here, and considering the cost and difficulty in obtaining cannabis, I have decided to cease using weed. It's a difficult decision; I believe I should have the right to treat my health with whatever I choose". Paul's decision is made, but his eyesight continues to deteriorate, and his search for treatment goes on. "I would invite any eye doctors, neuropharmacologists or other experts to contact me. I will gladly come back to Holland for a consultation with scientists".

Alternative Meds? Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative meds? I have read many articles about medical marijuana and how it can help you in terms of chronic pain, bone injuries, eating disorder/anorexia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks, inflammation, even cancer and a lot more. Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don't even smoke. If this is true I cant find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks
How Cannabis Oil Works to Kill Cancer Cells First let’s look at what keeps cancer cells alive, then we will come back and examine how the cannabinoids CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) unravels cancer’s aliveness.
In every cell there is a family of interconvertible sphingolipids that specifically manage the life and death of that cell. This profile of factors is called the “Sphingolipid Rheostat.” If endogenous ceramide(a signaling metabolite of sphingosine-1-phosphate) is high, then cell death (apoptosis) is imminent. If ceramide is low, the cell is strong in its vitality.
Very simply, when THC connects to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site on the cancer cell, it causes an increase in ceramide synthesis which drives cell death. A normal healthy cell does not produce ceramide in the presence of THC, thus is not affected by the cannabinoid.
The cancer cell dies, not because of cytotoxic chemicals, but because of a tiny little shift in the mitochondria. Within most cells there is a cell nucleus, numerous mitochondria (hundreds to thousands), and various other organelles in the cytoplasm. The purpose of the mitochondria is to produce energy (ATP) for cell use. As ceramide starts to accumulate, turning up the Sphingolipid Rheostat, it increases the mitochondrial membrane pore permeability to cytochrome c, a critical protein in energy synthesis. Cytochrome c is pushed out of the mitochondria, killing the source of energy for the cell.
Ceramide also causes genotoxic stress in the cancer cell nucleus generating a protein called p53, whose job it is to disrupt calcium metabolism in the mitochondria. If this weren’t enough, ceramide disrupts the cellular lysosome, the cell’s digestive system that provides nutrients for all cell functions. Ceramide, and other sphingolipids, actively inhibit pro-survival pathways in the cell leaving no possibility at all of cancer cell survival.
The key to this process is the accumulation of ceramide in the system. This means taking therapeutic amounts of CBD and THC, steadily, over a period of time, keeping metabolic pressure on this cancer cell death pathway.
How did this pathway come to be? Why is it that the body can take a simple plant enzyme and use it for profound healing in many different physiological systems? This endocannabinoid system exists in all animal life, just waiting for its matched exocannabinoid activator. This is interesting. Our own endocannabinoid system covers all cells and nerves; it is the messenger of information flowing between our immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). It is responsible for neuroprotection, and micro-manages the immune system. This is the primary control system that maintains homeostasis; our well being.
Just out of curiosity, how does the work get done at the cellular level, and where does the body make the endocannabinoids? Here we see that endocannabinoids have their origin in nerve cells right at the synapse. When the body is compromised through illness or injury it calls insistently to the endocannabinoid system and directs the immune system to bring healing. If these homeostatic systems are weakened, it should be no surprise that exocannabinoids are therapeutic. It helps the body in the most natural way possible.
To see how this works we visualize the cannabinoid as a three dimensional molecule, where one part of the molecule is configured to fit the nerve or immune cell receptor site just like a key in a lock. There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptor sites, CB1 (CNS) and CB2 (immune). In general CB1 activates the CNS messaging system, and CB2 activates the immune system, but it’s much more complex than this. Both THC and anandamide activate both receptor sites. Other cannabinoids activate one or the other receptor sites. Among the strains of Cannabis, C. sativa tends toward the CB1 receptor, and C. indica tends toward CB2. So sativa is more neuroactive, and indica is more immunoactive. Another factor here is that sativa is dominated by THC cannabinoids, and indica is predominately CBD (cannabidiol).
It is known that THC and CBD are biomimetic to anandamide, that is, the body can use both interchangeably. Thus, when stress, injury, or illness demand more from endogenous anandamide than can be produced by the body, its mimetic exocannabinoids are activated. If the stress is transitory, then the treatment can be transitory. If the demand is sustained, such as in cancer, then treatment needs to provide sustained pressure of the modulating agent on the homeostatic systems.
Typically CBD gravitates to the densely packed CB2 receptors in the spleen, home to the body’s immune system. From there, immune cells seek out and destroy cancer cells. Interestingly, it has been shown that THC and CBD cannabinoids have the ability to kill cancer cells directly without going through immune intermediaries. THC and CBD hijack the lipoxygenase pathway to directly inhibit tumor growth. As a side note, it has been discovered that CBD inhibits anandamide reuptake. Here we see that cannabidiol helps the body preserve its own natural endocannabinoid by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down anandamide.
This brief survey touches lightly on a few essential concepts. Mostly I would like to leave you with an appreciation that nature has designed the perfect medicine that fits exactly with our own immune system of receptors and signaling metabolites to provide rapid and complete immune response for systemic integrity and metabolic homeostasis.
Dosage Information: How to take cannabis oil
For most people it takes about 60 grams/ml of cannabis oil to kill most cancers. For the average person it will take about 90 days to ingest the full 60 gram/ml treatment of cannabis oil. It is important to remember that the 60 gram/ml 90 day treatment protocol is just a recommendation and starting point. It can take some people a longer time to finish their treatment.
People should start by orally ingesting three doses of cannabis oil per day. For the first week each dose should be the size of a half grain of white rice. After the oil has been taken for a week, start to double the dose. The dose should be doubled every four days until 1 gram/ml per day is ingested. Most people to get to the point where they can ingest 1 gram/ml per day in about 30-35 days. Once ingesting one gram/ml of oil per day is achieved, dosage should continue at that rate until the cancer is gone. Some people have however increased each of their daily doses to 2grams/ml or more.
Since the starting doses of oil are so small it is very easy for cannabis oil to be dosed out of an oral syringe right into empty pill capsules. This allows for the dosing of the cannabis oil to be very consistent and precise for beginners or children just starting the cannabis oil treatment. Precise dosage is important so that the “high” side effect can be avoided as much as possible. Oral syringes also make it very easy to store your cannabis oil discreetly.
Dosing cannabis oil from Oral syringes into empty pill capsules will also allow for a patient/care-giver to dose out the cannabis oil treatment for many days or even weeks in advance. This makes it easy for a patient to keep track of how much oil that they are taking and when they take it. It also makes it easy to add the cannabis oil treatment to any other oral medication regimen that a patient might be on.
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries If you are a new medical marijuana patient or have not used a marijuana dispensary to get your medication before, you may have some questions about how dispensaries work and how to choose the right one for your personal needs and preferences. Understanding what a medical cannabis dispensary is, how dispensaries work in our state, and how to go about choosing a dispensary will help you feel more comfortable with the process and make it easier for you to get the important medicine you need from a safe, legitimate provider. The following article will introduce you to dispensaries and offer useful guidelines to help you choose one.
What are Medical Marijuana Dispensaries?
Medical marijuana dispensaries are places where marijuana is distributed for medical use. They are legally allowed under state law in many locations across the United States – spanning the country from California, which was the first state to allow their establishment, all the way to Rhode Island. In states where the medical use of cannabis has been legalized, dispensaries are one of the primary ways that marijuana patients are able to get the medicine they need. Although allowed under state law, the sale or distribution of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. These dispensaries are known by a variety of names, including:
Marijuana Dispensaries
Marijuana or Cannabis Collectives
Marijuana or Cannabis Cooperatives or Co-ops
Marijuana Pharmacies
Pot Parlors
Pot Shops
Marijuana or Cannabis Clinics
Cannabis Clubs
Cannabis Wellness Centers
Although they may have a variety of names, legitimate medical cannabis dispensaries have a few things in common. They generally have a relationship with local cultivators, offering marijuana that is grown in surrounding areas. They also usually offer a variety of types of cannabis to aid in treating a number of medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis, AIDs, chronic and nerve pain, glaucoma, seizures, colitis, and more. They operate under state and local laws and maintain the regulations and guidelines required by those laws. They provide a safe and secure way to obtain the medical marijuana you need when you need it. These commonalities ensure that marijuana dispensaries are able to remain open and provide this important service to their local patients.
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in California
In 1996 California passed the Compassionate Use Act,allowing the use of medical marijuana for the treatment of certain medical conditions. A later bill implemented an identification card system for patients and caregivers and included other modifications to the original act. With these laws in place, patients throughout the state were able to grow, use, and transport cannabis for medical purposes. Medical marijuana dispensaries soon followed, providing cannabis to patients under state law. California dispensaries are allowed to dispense cannabis legally by following the collective and cooperative cultivation guidelines established in the state. California requires dispensaries to meet certain guidelines and apply for a license in order to operate. Many individuals, groups, and organizations have opened and continued to operate dispensaries in the state, providing an estimated 16 million ounces of marijuana to California patients annually.
To dispense medical marijuana in California, a dispensary must abide by the state’s guidelines, complete the necessary paperwork, and maintain certain standards. First and foremost, California requires dispensaries to maintain a non-profit status and prevents them from cultivating or distributing cannabis for a profit. Additionally, growers and patients must join the dispensary as members, and the dispensary is required to properly regulate membership. Only members who join the collective and present the proper medical marijuana identification card are allowed to buy or sell cannabis. Dispensaries are also required to properly track all marijuana that enters and exits their place of business. These records should be securely maintained. In addition to properly securing their files, medical marijuana dispensaries must also establish proper security practices to protect their product and their members.
When joining a medical marijuana collective, you may be required to complete certain tasks. The majority of these tasks are required under state law for the dispensary to remain open. This includes completing a written application, presenting your medical marijuana ID card, allowing your card to be copied, providing your recommending establishment’s name and contact information, and signing a contract agreeing not to illegally distribute or supply the medical cannabis you purchase at the dispensary. If you are not asked to complete all of the tasks, double-check to ensure the dispensary is operating with a proper license. Make sure that you have the proper documentation, identification, and information with you on your first visit to ensure you are able to get your medicine as soon as possible.
What to Look for in a Medical Marijuana Dispensary?
If you need cannabis to treat a medical condition, finding a dispensary is one of the easiest ways to get the medicine you need. Although it is possible to cultivate cannabis yourself, growing can be somewhat challenging and requires a commitment of time and resources. A dispensary provides an alternative to the do it yourself option, allowing you to conveniently get the medical marijuana that has been recommended to treat your condition without the hassle and wait time associated with growing your own. There are numerous dispensaries in the state of California, which can make choosing which one is right for you a little tricky. Before settling on the first dispensary you see, you will want to carefully consider the following important factors. Make sure the medical cannabis dispensary you choose has:
A Legitimate License
Before choosing a medical cannabis dispensary, it is important that you confirm the legitimacy of their license. According to the California Department of Justice, all medical marijuana dispensaries in California must be properly licensed in order to be considered legal in the state. California state law requires a dispensary owner to complete specific steps to get and maintain their license, including maintaining standards, regulating their membership, properly tracking their product, and maintaining other requirements. A medical marijuana dispensary license protects the dispensary and its clients from potential legal issues. If you choose a dispensary that does not have a license you could risk loss of access to your medicine, delays in getting your medicine, or worse, potential legal or criminal repercussions.
A Convenient Location
Another iportant consideration when choosing the right medical marijuana collective or dispensary is the location. Although state law in California allows the medical use of marijuana and the establishment of marijuana collectives or cooperatives to dispense the medication, certain counties have additional laws that prohibit dispensaries from being established within their county lines. If you live in one of these counties, locating a nearby dispensary may be more difficult. There are a variety of medical marijuana dispensary locator options online. You can use a Google search for medical marijuana dispensaries near me, check out listings on popular sites like Yelp or cannabis-focused Weed Maps or Leafly, or stick to the most popular dispensaries as listed in this article from LA Weekly.
A Reasonable Price Structure
Pricing is an important consideration when it comes to any purchase – especially those that you have to make on a recurring basis. Your medical cannabis purchases are no different. You will want to find a dispensary that has prices that you find reasonable. Dispensaries are legally allowed to set their own prices. According to California-based law firm Shouse California, medical marijuana distributors can charge prices they consider reasonable, offer marijuana in exchange for services, or provide it free of charge. This means that medical marijuana dispensaries prices can differ from location to location even for the same quality of product. To find the best price, it may be a good idea to shop around at dispensaries in your area.
A Positive Reputation
As with any product or service provider, user reviews are available for most well-established medical marijuana dispensaries. Before joining a collective, determine if other patients had a positive experience by checking out the ratings and reviews available online. You may also want to take an opportunity to meet the staff and determine if they are friendly and knowledgeable. You want a marijuana dispensary that provides you with a good experience, ensures your needs are met, and can answer any questions you might have. This will ensure you feel comfortable getting your medicine when you need it and can help ensure you get the type of cannabis best suited for your condition and treatment goals.
Now that you understand more about what medical marijuana dispensaries are and how they operate in the state of California, you are prepared to choose one where you can obtain the medical cannabis you need to treat your condition. By ensuring the establishment you choose is properly licensed, has a convenient location for you, and offers pricing you can afford, you will be able to join a collective that meets your needs and allows you to continue to provide you with regular access to your medication..

Smoking Marijuana is Good for Lungs? Pretty interesting findings here:
takepart.com/article/2012/01/11/marijuana-not-bad-your-lungs
"After 20 years of testing, researchers found some buzzworthy results: regular marijuana smokers (defined by up to a joint a day for seven years) had no discernable impairment in lung activity from non-smokers. In fact, researchers were surprised to find marijuana smokers performed slightly better than both smokers and non-smokers on the lung performance test. Why? The most likely explanation seems to be that the act of inhaling marijuana—holding each puff in for as long as possible—is a lot like a pulmonary function test, giving marijuana smokers an edge over their cigarette smoking counterparts."

Was i better off Smoking? So after chronic weed smoking since I was 19 with a 6 month break when I was 21 I have decided to give up weed, or at least reduce it back down to the occasional recreational spliff. Gone are the days of smoking it habitually every evening and often throughout the night.
My two reasons for the change are my health (both mental and physical) and of coarse I'm going to be saving at least £30 each week, probably more to be honest.
I've not bought any for a week now and the last time I smoked anything was Friday night, a friend came round with a few joints and I thought it would be rude not to.
I have to say its been much easier than I expected, no cravings despite always smoking my weed with tobacco. I've tried to quit before but not been mentally ready so failed after 36 hours or so, this time though I want to do it.
It feels good not to be coughing all the time I can't deny that but I don't actually feel any better for it, in fact I'd have to say I've become an emotional rollercoaster, but this reminds me why I started smoking it as often as I did. It put my fluctuating mood on an even plateau. I seem to be going back to the way I was when I was 19, a hyper-depressive mess.
I'm certainly not going to just fall back into smoking it the way I was but I also really don't want it to turn out that weed actually was regulating my mood as effectively as I led myself to believe.
Why did I even make this thread? Because I'm not having a spliff so I need to pass the time somehow12

Cold press Vs Hot press Had a conversation with someone whose opinion I generally respect - they told me that, without the addition of heat, THC isn't psychoactive, and so cold pressed products and eating/spraying are less likely to produce psychiatric problems if people are using Cannabis for medical, rather than recreational, use.
Anyone have any experience or links on this? Actual medical trial comparisons would be most appreciated but I've only just heard about this and would value any info people have.
Incidentally, "cold press" means the substance isn't subjected to heating or fire beyond boiling point of water (100 degrees Centigrade or Celcius). Which obviously cuts out smoking weed.
