Major Health Benefits of Medical Cannabis

Posted by Delta9 with No Comments

There are really quite a few medical benefits to cannabis. There are nine main conditions that medical cannabis can help. These conditions are migraines, tumors, chronic disease, Alzheimer’s, glaucoma, seizures, ADD and ADHD, PMS and OCD and Tourette’s.

Migraines

Medical cannabis has been shown to treat migraines. Migraines are characterized as a very severe headache along with nausea, light sensitivity and dizziness.

Tumors

Research has indicated that cannabis helps slow down the growth of tumors. It slows down the production of cancer cells. It also helps with the nausea and vomiting that is often associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapies.

Chronic Disease

Cannabis helps to lessen the pain and symptoms that people with chronic diseases suffer from. It is one of the best pain relievers around. It helps them be able to relax more and not deal with the typical side effects of most other pain medications.

Alzheimer’s

Marijuana can help to lessen the occurring depression that those with Alzheimer’s experience. It can also help Alzheimer patients maintain a higher level of brain function which goes a long way after the onset of the condition.

Glaucoma

There are some strains of cannabis that can help decrease the amount of force that glaucoma places on the optic nerve. People who have this disease can get rid of the condition by smoking or ingesting the plant.

ADD and ADHD

Folks that deal with ADD and ADHD have found that smoking cannabis can help to calm them down so they can focus on the task at hand. They experience less hyperactivity and less impulsivity with marijuana use.

Seizures

Seizures affect over 30 million people throughout the world. Using medical marijuana has been shown to control seizures in patients with epilepsy. It is cautioned that care be taken when using oral THC since there is no evidence on the convulsive properties.

PMS

There are millions of women who experience PMS each and every month. Symptoms include cramps, headaches and bloating. Cannabis use can give women great relief from these symptoms.

OCD and Tourette’s

Studies have shown that by taking the prescribed amount of medical cannabis on a regular basis can help lessen the tics for those with Tourette’s. It can also help those who suffer from OCD.

Medical Marijuana Helps Fight Pain and Depression

Posted by Delta9 with No Comments

Few herbs offer the incredible array of therapeutic effects provided by use of medical marijuana. Marijuana (cannabis) has been in use around the world for thousands of years, for both its psychoactive properties and for treatment of a wide variety of illnesses and ailments. Practitioners of traditional medicine have for centuries utilized the THC found in cannabis leaves, oils, and marijuana smoke to treat complaints such as insomnia, headache, gastrointestinal disorders, and even the intense pain of childbirth.

Today, medical marijuana is prescribed by licensed physicians to treat an ever-growing list of ailments; including muscle spasm and tremors, chronic pain, intense nausea, glaucoma, and decreased metabolism. Many cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, as well as patients taking other nausea-inducing medications, take medical marijuana to combat nausea side effects. Cannabis can also ease the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, hypertension, constipation, and even hangovers from over-consumption of alcohol.

Medical marijuana has a wide array of beneficial effects on different systems in the body. Because cannabis acts as an antispasmodic and anticonvulsant, it is often prescribed for patients with neurological conditions such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis; its analgesic and immunomodulator capacities make it a widely used treatment for migraine, arthritis, and spinal disorders; and it is beneficial for asthma patients for its bronchodilatory effects. Some cannabinoids in the drug are also believed to help ease addiction cravings, such as those suffered by heroin users.

Recent studies have also shown marijuana to be effective in the treatment of mental health issues and mood disorders. Patients suffering PSTD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and a variety of anxiety disorders can experience greatly decreased symptoms with the use of cannabis. The drug is also prescribed to ease the chronic pain and improve quality of life for terminally ill patients.

Know the Law: FAQ

Posted by Delta9 with No Comments

This section is designed to help patients find quick answers to their questions. It is currently under development and we expect more question and answers to be added in time.

Q. As a patient, where am I allowed to smoke cannabis?

A. There are different rules depending on where you are. In public,
you can smoke anywhere cigarettes are permitted, EXCEPT near parks,
schools, and in a vehicle. In private establishments, such as bars
and restaurants, the owners make the rules… check with them first.

Q. Do I have to show a police officer my recommendation?

A. No you do not have to show an officer your recommendation to be
protected in court. If the officer has already found your meds
showing your recommendation is a good idea.

Q. How much cannabis can I legally possess as a patient?

A. Unfortunately there are no specific rules for the amount of
cannabis a patient can legally possess. The technical answer is
an amount reasonably related to a patient’s needs. In other words,
the more serious your illness, the more marijuana you can possess.
The original standards for possession included 6 mature plants or
12 immature plants, and up to 8 ounces of dried cannabis.

Q. Is having a pipe illegal?

A. No. Under the law, a pipe is not contraband and you cannot be
arrested or cited for a ticket solely based on the possession of a pipe.

Know the Law: Patients’ Rights

Posted by Delta9 with 2 Comments

As a patient, you are not committing a crime by buying or possessing personal amounts of medical marijuana. Due to vague laws, however, your provider is at risk for persecution. Please help the cause and assert your right to remain silent when questioned by officers. You could do a lot of damage by saying the wrong thing. It is always best to tell the officer that you respectfully would like to remain silent.

Know the Law: Hash and Concentrates

Posted by Delta9 with No Comments

There is much debate among medical marijuana patients and even some providers as to the exact legalities of hash and other concentrates in California. The intent of the following article is to provide those who are unclear about this medicine, everything they could wish to know. First of all, yes, medical hash is legal under California’s Prop. 215.

As of October 21, 2003, Attorney General Bill Lockyer made it clear that hashish and other concentrated marijuana are protected under Prop. 215, saying that

Concentrated cannabis or hashish is included within the meaning of ‘marijuana’ as that term is used in the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.

However, this is not to say that you shouldn’t exercise caution when obtaining not only concentrates, but your regular medicine as well. For instance, if an officer pulls you over, he or she may still refuse to comply with state law, due to the fact that it remains federally illegal. They can take your medication, but cannot take you to jail if you have the proper documentation of your eligibility for medical marijuana. You will then have to attend a court date and plead your case if you wish to get your medication back.

Needless to say, without a prescription for medical marijuana, hash is a felony in California.

Some contradiction and confusion lies in the exact legalities of hash oil, honey oil and other types of hash made from solvents such as isopropyl alcohol and butane gas. The production (meaning making) of hash and honey oil is illegal, even under California’s medical laws. This is due to the fact that unless the proper safety steps and utilized, making concentrates oils with solvents can prove somewhat dangerous. However, hash and honey oil is covered under Prop. 215 and SB 420 as a type of hash. This means that dispensaries are able to sell it and you, the patient, are able to buy and possess it, but it remains illegal to make it.

Edibles are also considered a concentrate, but there is no accurate way to test them since they can’t be weighed for THC content and lab tests prove highly inaccurate. Edibles are a safer alternative when lawfully transporting your medicine.
