I will make sure to read that, nothing better to do than suck up information, on our favorite god given plant!

Happy belated birthday!

I was so happy to see this post that I started laughing, and I laughed the whole time I scrolled through all your posts - I laughed until tears ran down my face. This is a wonderful gift. There isn't a rep button big enough for the incredible wealth of information you have here. I'll be lucky if I have time to read even a tenth of what you've provided.

Happy 60th, and many happy returns! And mods, sticky this one for sure!

mseerob. No, I'm not asthmatic, but my hubby was/is. Hasn't had an attack for years. Smoke is bad for your lungs. Have you tried a vaporizer? You might be pleasantly surprised. The chemicals in pot are bronchodialtors (or however you spell it), but the smoke freaks your lungs out and they go into the asthma routine. Vaping allows you to get the chemicals without the harmful smoke particles. Eating pot, although slow to take effect, might be something to look into.

qdavid The articles are grouped by subject which is above the title and URL.

Addiction risk- PhysicalThis is the subject
Women's Guide to the UofC title of the article
Women's Guide to the UofC URL

Cannabis Basics title of 2nd article
http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabi...s_basics.shtml URL

Also the title of each post gives you the first and last subject.
"Amotivational syndrome to Autism" - Hope that helps. When I did it on my computer it was more obvious- the subjects were in bold 12 point and the articles and URLs were in 10 point. I wish it had come out the way it looks in Word, but like I said- I'm a computer dummy and I don't know how to get it looking like I have it on my computer.

imitator- YES!!! PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE! I want this post (and other ones like it) to pop up everywhere!

Blitzed- ENJOY! I love to spread knowledge!

LuckyG- Your post made me smile and feel happy inside!

G'night all - Granny

even on ur birthday ur giving to others.. happy birthday granny

Hey grams Ive started compiling all the information in the links in a single document, along with back references and citings. Im going to create a website with all this information!

__________________

Just make it clear when you do, Grazil, that most of them are abstracts. Abstracts are brief, high-level summaries, and while they provide compact information, they're not the proof that's in the pudding. That's in the actual study data and/or reports, which few people will be able to access, at least through PubMed and other sites. Abstracts are called abstracts for a reason. Many of them require someone with an ability to extract scientific information and draw correct conclusions, too. Lots of folks immediately take a postiive-seemng abstract and draw the conclusion "Well, this means MJ is all good and completely harmless," which is never what they're actually saying.

Hehe well I certainly thank you for your concern, Birdgirl. Yes I am well aware of that, and years of sorting through propagandist bullshit, and writing essays in medical format has prepared me for this task. I dont simply intend on creating a hodgepodge of heresay for all to read. Rather, I am going to use all of this wonderful information to gather as many studies and references on each and every one of these sub-categories as I can. Ideally, in the future I will have received grants to conduct research of my own. I also intend to have a comprehensive rating system that will place each claimed detractory/pository effect on a varied scale of truthfullness/bullshit. The aim is to take every single claim and myth ever placed upon this plant and address them all. Viewers can then see which ones are either scientific fact, probably true with supporting evidence, probably false, or straight up bullshit. In the interest of being totally unbiassed I will include as many of the detractors as I find as well. I dont want to be accussed of being a propagandist, this must be strictly truth, fact and empirical data.

P.S. My name is Grazi not Grazil

__________________

That is SO COOL!!!! And yes, I know that most are just abstracts. Most folks don't have the time or education to read a whole report-the statistics can be a pain, to say the least . I figured the abstracts would provide a good starting point for those who wanted to really "get into it", and sufficient info for most folks. Go for it, Grazi!- Granny

You misunderstood me, GraziL (and yes, that was a deliberate L I put there. You put it there before me when you chose your member name.). That wasn't a caveat to you about being aware that they're abstracts. That was a caveat to you when presenting them to your readers on your own compilation site and/or publication. That's why I began by saying, "Just make it clear when you do. . . ". You yourself seem to be able to see the high-level nature of abstracts and distinguish summaries from supporting data, but others cannot, as you probably have already seen here numerous times.

With all your years of propaganda-filtering and writing in medical format, I'm still interested in hearing how you plan to obtain grants and do cannabis research on your own. Are you going to take some formal academic training in bio-medical research?

Lol I love ya to death birdgirl, I swear I do, youre so feisty! I didnt mean to come off as rude, so Im sorry if I did! My nickname is Grazi(a shortening of my last name), and I love Mary Jane thats why Grazi Loves Mary was my name of choice for cannadot. Anyway thats off topic, you can call me whatever youd like I guess!

Ahhh yes I did misunderstand the tone of your post and for that Im terribly sorry, the library is supposed to be a place of quiet study, yet I find myself distracted by small children running around like fools, and old men yawning quite obnoxiously in my peripheral vision

You are absolutely correct, I most definitely do need to distinguish between empirical data and abstracts, and I plan to come up with a rather detailed system where I can assign a value to each symptom/cure that will let my readers know how much heed to pay it.

As far as grants, I would love to get grants to help fund my work, however as cannabis is illegal, Im not betting on it. Instead I am aiming to amass my own collection of wealth and fund it completely on my own.

Regarding academics, hopefully I will be able to return to college and continue to pursue my major in Nuclear Physics. I am contemplating turning my minors in biology and chemistry into separate majors and pursuing each of them to the fullest.

poiuyt, Love you too, hon! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you find it useful. Spread it around to whoever needs it.

I see that you are Canadian. Have you ever been over to .com ? I have this posted there too. TY is a Canadian medical site, and as such, might be more acceptable if you decide to gift a doctor with it, or point a straight relative towards. - Granny

Hi Granny, thanks for inviting me! Happy growing!

Granny you have no idea how thankful I am that you posted this.
My mom has suffered from severe Headaches/Migraine her entire life and has gone through numerous useless treatments for it. Last week she woke up with a migraine so bad that she wanted to kill herself and I had to call an ambulance to rush her to the hospital. Needless to say, that was the last straw and its about time she became educated.

Give your mom this from me-

Hi hon, I'm Granny- I'm 60 years old and am employed in Special Education. I've used cannabis medically and for pleasure for 40 years. You could pass me on the street and you'd never think "She uses pot." Besides my job, I quilt, sculpt, paint and keep up a lively "cyberlife". The second time around in college (in my mid50s), I wrote most of my papers high and graduated with honors. I have never been arrested. I am well liked and respected and that's enough about me.

I can really sympathize with you about the migraine. I get migraines and recurrent waves of pain through my head. And it always feels like there is a hand inside my skull pressing down on my right eyeball at a 45 degree angle. I can't really remember life before the migraines. This is the result of almost being murdered as a very young child- another child took a hammer to my head in a fit of rage. I survived, but with migraines.

When I was 19, I started getting high like many American kids in the 60s and 70s. For me, there was one major difference. The migraines stopped when I had cannabis. I don't know if it will work this way for you or not. But as long as I have a daily smoke or vape, I don't get migraines or the waves (just "normal" headaches caused by stress or too much sun- we both know the difference between them and a migraine!) My migraines are due to a head trauma, so it might just be a fluke that it stops them. However, considering all the studies done on migraines being prevented or even stopped by cannabis, it would seem logical to give it a fair trial!

No one has ever died from using cannabis. The main dangers are getting arrested (which is avoidable for the most part by using only at home), and lung irritation. Both of these problems can also be addressed by the use of a vaporizer. Your child can explain its use to you. The odor of burning cannabis is very distinctive and can lead to arrest- vaporizers eliminate most of the odor, making it far easier to hide the smell.

Your child has likely shown you some studies from my "Birthday post". I want you to look at the whole thing. Cannabis is a wonder herb! Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, stroke, MS, fibromyalgia and even cancer can be treated with cannabis. If it were any other herb, it would be being hailed as a panacea, because it is one!

Hon, try a joint or pipeful. If it works- HURRAH! If it doesn't, you are no worse off than you were yesterday. It's worth a try, the doctor's remedies aren't working- maybe cannabis will work for you as well as it has for me. I hope so, no one should ever have migraines! It has been more than 3 years since my last one. - Granny

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO.I'm suprised Crohns disease isn't there...Marijuana saved my intestines.Reason I will be moving to Cali

I just don't really think a lot of this information is from "unbiased" sources. Sorry to break your bubble, but I don't honestly think it has this many beneficial effects. People saying cannabis will "save the human race" have a serious problem, unbiased studies thats are performed correctly are quite rare. Fuel?, Medicine?, building materials?!? seriously, it can replace certain minimal requirements in every one of these fields, but it will not "save" the human race.
