Prairie, we are all allowed our opinions! You have yours. I have mine.

All I know is that I don't get the migraines that have plagued me since early childhood, as long as I use cannabis. My first "California legal" harvest was about 3 years ago. I have not had a single migraine in those 3 years. I quit cannabis for almost 3 years before I "got legal", because of my job. I wanted to see if I could survive without cannabis. It was 3 years of hell. It hurt so bad that my doctor finally had my head scanned for tumors or other abnormalities. Nothing. Got a baggie. Migraines stopped. I got my medical records and ""got legal". No more migraines since then. For me, that is the simple truth. You can have your own opinion about it, but for me, the difference in the quality of my life is quite clear.

Knickerbka- MY BAD!

So to make up for it, you get a "sneak peek" at part of my update which I plan to let loose around New Year's! (I have over 100 new studies on various subjects)

I have this all in word on my computer. It would be really cool if some of you copy my post into word and then add the new stuff in as I do my updates and add your own discoveries! More is good!

I really want this knowledge to spread.

And thumbing through my paper copy, I'm noting just WHERE most of these studies originally came from- if PubMed, Nature, University of Israel, Sutter Health, Neuroendrocrinology Letters, and Medscape aren't good enough sources, then I don't know what are good sources!

Please don't get me wrong here, I agree cannabis has many benefits and of course many studies have been done by impartial groups and many articles exist on such sites as pubmed, or articles in the magazine nature which I do believe as quite credible. The balance of negative vs. positive effects of legalisation is definately in the positive side by a long shot. I just think your list is very exhaustive and most likely many of the ailments you state do not have very factual proof that cannabis can "cure" them or alieviate the symptoms. Do what works best by all means, but I believe you must show a little skepticism in regards to all these benefits. In my opinion cannabis will alieviate symptoms, but will not help "cure" anything, it will stop your body from feeling the symptoms though.

Also I was wondering what up with your name and your avatar? Did you get this from M:tg? Check this out Storm Crow information and rulings

Storm Crow · #53 (**permalink**) Dec-24-2007, 12:30

I have always had a knack of walking into people's lives just before the "sh*t hits the fan". I could see what was about to happen and would tell them- usually they didn't listen (at least, not the first time

). It got me down when I was young- telling folks about the brick walls that they are about to hit. I made the best of it. I am about 1 semester away from a BA in psychology. I work in Special Education.

Folks have the wrong idea about the term "Storm Crow". The storm crow is not the cause of the storm. The crow flies before the storm- getting it's little tail feathers out of there. The crow is smart enough to see what's coming. Along the way, the crow gives warnings of what is to come- even if it is unpleasant. You listen, or you don't. You take shelter, or you don't. Your choice.

I've had crows as "pets" and I admire them. Caw was my favorite. He would steal stuff, come when called (usually), and was an all around trip with a wicked sense of humor. We lived in an area where the crows would nest in the tall yew trees. Occasionally, a crow chick would be pushed from the nest by it's siblings and survive the fall. We would adopt them and let them stay with us until they decided to be adults and free. (Crow chicks love scrambled eggs!)

As for the avatar, a kid from the boards turned me on to it. I had no idea where it came from. It was beautiful, I loved it, so I used it. Thank you for showing me where it came from.

And I still believe that cannabis is for the healing of nations, and what are nations, but people?- Granny

i love u granny thank u so much for the info

Storm Crow · #57 (**permalink**) Jan-01-2008, 00:45

Random, I love you, too! Now go and spread the info! Your doctor needs educating! - Granny

GraziLovesMary · #58 (**permalink**) Jan-01-2008, 04:29

Yay I get to rate the thread! The higher the rating, the more people will see it immediately upon entering the forums. With such a load of invaluable information we have here, I cant think of a better thread for people to see right up front.

I love you granny!

Storm Crow · #59 (**permalink**) Jan-01-2008, 23:05

Thank you for rating my thread!

The more I learn about cannabis, the more I am amazed that I can be put in jail for using it, and I emphasize "USING". The only problem with having this information here is that it's like preaching to the chior. I have a feeling that sending the contents of one of these pages to my(?) congressperson would be a waste of paper, and a stamp to boot. The only thing that gets thier attention is if they think thier job is in jepordy. The only way we could pull that off is with numbers. The only way numbers do any good is if we all act. Registered VOTERS write ALL of your government officials from the mayor to the president. To do this you need to tell them who you are, name, address, phone #. Don't be afraid, I have been doing it for quite some time, and nobody has arrested me. If you realy care about the cause register to vote, AND VOTE WHEN THE TIME COMES.

This post was for Mseerob. I eliminated the original post, because it didn't belong here

Ironman · #62 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 14:36

Mseerob use a vaporizer, this eliminates the bad, and keeps the good.

. Using a bong will not help with your condition. Sad but true. Foxtrot, India, I give up

Storm Crow · #63 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 15:09

I know that posting it here is "preaching to the choir", but my little compendium has also popped up in a medical college to be shown around to future doctors, random pages are in a laundromat back east, I just sent it to a pro-cannabis veteran's group, and it's in the hands of a few "crazy activists" to be spread around. If we keep spreading it, educating people one by one,-maybe that 70 to 80% of the public who support medical cannabis, will eventually grow to 100%. Then, we will either have a change in the heart and laws of our government, or change our government!

Yeah, if ONE person sends a copy in, well, in all probability, it won't even get to the politico it's aimed at. Some little flapper (read the original Gulliver's Travels) will toss it- the first time. But what if ten, or a hundred, came in? It gets a LOT harder to ignore! It might "slip through".

Might be a nice party/project for some bored tokers to do some snowy evening- get stoned, put together some letters, get stoned-er, call friends, turn them on to the post and get them to send it in, too. And get them to call friends! Wouldn't be THAT hard to get 100 copies all coming in within a few days! Or everyone send it in to arrive April 20th. You don't have to be out there "singin' songs and carrying signs" to be an activist. A stamp is 41 cents.

How about everyone doing ONE "Activist act" a month? There are over 20,000 ACTIVE members at C.com. So get ACTIVE! Make it a late New Year's resolution- to make up for the one(s) you have already broken! - Granny

Wow, this is truly an amazing thread

josemartinez915 · #65 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 19:05

I will definitely send this to some friends and family

Storm Crow · #66 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 21:07

Thank you, Jose! Be sure to hit the link in reply #59! It has about 100+ new studies. - Granny

Ironman · #67 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 22:15

I know now why those post for Mseerob are the way they are. 1st I didn't read every post, or I would have known he had already had that suggested to him

. 2nd I haven't smoked a thing all day

. That's about to change

Ironman · #68 (**permalink**) Jan-04-2008, 22:19

The Inflamatory Bowl study. I can, from 1st hand experience, vouch for the validity of that one. You don't want to know. Let us just say it involved bodily fluids, and 3 days in the hospital.

SMOKIN A WHILE · #69 (**permalink**) Jan-08-2008, 12:36

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the incredible reading list. I must say its gonna take a while to figure out what to read first then reading. You have done quite a bit of research. Thank you.

Marijuana Ingredient May Prevent Mad Cow Disease

Sunday, September 16 2007 @ 11:05 AM EDT
Edited by: Michael Hess

Cannabidiol May be Effective in Preventing Bovine Spongiforme Enzephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease)

BBSNews 2007-09-16 — (IACM) According to basic research of scientists of the National Centre for Scientific Research in Valbonne, France, cannabidiol (CBD) may prevent the development of prion diseases, the most known being BSE (bovine spongiforme enzephalopathy), which is often called mad cow disease. It is believed that the BSE may be transmitted to human beings. In humans, it is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

The infectious agent in prion diseases is believed to be a specific type of misfolded protein called prion. Misfolded prion proteins carry the disease between individuals and cause deterioration of the brain. The French researchers reported that the non- psychoactive cannabis constituent CBD inhibited the accumulation of prion proteins in both mouse and sheep prion- infected cells, whereas other cannabinoids were either weak or not effective. Moreover, after infection with mouse scrapie, a prion disease, CBD limited accumulation of the prion protein in the brain and significantly increased the survival time of infected mice. CBD inhibited the nerve damaging effects of prions in a concentration-dependent manner. Researchers noted that CBD may be a promising agent for the treatment of prion diseases.

(Source: Dirikoc S, Priola SA, Marella M, Zsuerger N, Chabry J. Nonpsychoactive cannabidiol prevents prion accumulation and protects neurons against prion toxicity. J Neurosci 2007;27(36):9537-44.)

It’s an exciting development, to the best of our knowledge this is among the first substances discovered that has the potential to alter the invariably fatal course of bovine spongiforme enzephalopathy.

heres alittle info on mad cow and mmj.
im sorry if its a double mrs storm crow

great info in here!!! thanks granny

Glad someone else has caught on about what an earthshaking study this is! There is NO cure for Mad Cow disease in modern medical science! This is the first thing that I've seen that even touches those misfolded little buggers! I also read that some poor dudes had apparently gotten the porcine equivalent of MCD. Pig brain is an Asian delicacy

Why can't you be me grandma? this list is amazing....

I have found more positive points about marijuana in your list than anything, it truly has inspired me to spread the word.

I plan on making hundreds of copies of the 10 things every parent should know about marijuana and anonymously put them in mailboxes. That alone is enough info to considerably change the opinion of many people IMO.

Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge

DoDoFoShoDoe · #75 (**permalink**) Apr-23-2008, 13:02

Does anyone here have any clinical research studies about marijuana and helping minor turrets syndrome? or nervousness and ticking?

My little brother suffers from nervous ticks and minor turrets from what i believe leads back to my parents divorce. He is 15 years old turning 16 in less than a month and i have tried to talk to him about the benefits of marijuana and how i KNOW it will help him but he has been brainwashed by society and never wants the touch cannabis. so please, anything, will help.

thank you and toke on
