			<description><![CDATA[So I've had these chest pains since I was in Kindergarten. They come and go every once in a while...typically they come once or twice every few weeks/months and it causes a considerable amount of pain in my chest center/right side. When I get them, sometimes it gets so bad that it's hard to take breaths any bigger than what a half dead ant would take. Hurts a lot to breathe...

anyways....

I never really worried about it until lately, when one morning my chest pains woke me up and hurt a lot. Usually they leave within 30 seconds to a few minutes at most, but this time it stuck with me for hours. Hours turned into days.

So, these annoying chest pains stayed with me for 2-3 days, and then I encountered some green. Smoked it and voila, my chest pains are gone! :cool:

Now, I was never diagnosed with anything, there's no history of heart disease or anything like that in my family...these are just weird, unexplainable chest pains. After doing some research it looks like it's probably just normal teenager stuff, something muscuo-skeletal probably.

Point being...whatever was wrong with my chest, is gone now! I'm sure they'll probably come back in little 30-60 sec episodes, but after it being stuck with me for a few days, it's gone thanks to mary jane! :)]]></description>

			<title>THC receptors in your EYE - CNN Article</title>

			<description><![CDATA[CNN - Links found between marijuana and vision - December 7, 1999 (http://archives.cnn.com/1999/HEALTH/12/07/science.marijuana/index.html)
*
Links found between marijuana and vision (1999)
*
 WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The active ingredient in marijuana and hashish may affect vision by plugging into tailor-made receptors in the eye, researchers said Monday.
 
   They said they found the receptors -- which are chemical doorways into cells -- in animals ranging from chicks to salamanders to monkeys.
 
        This suggests that chemicals similar to the cannabinoids in hashish and marijuana, known to occur naturally in the human body, are ancient and highly important in eye function, the researchers said.
 
   "The fact that this system is so highly conserved in species separated by hundreds of millions of years of evolution suggests that it's important," Alex Straiker of the University of California, San Diego, who led the research, said in a statement. 
  *'Nature likes to tinker'*

   "Nature likes to tinker, so any time you see something this consistent, it raises eyebrows."
 
   Working with colleagues at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego and the University of Washington in Seattle, Straiker found cannabinoid receptors known as CB1 receptors in the retinal cells of rhesus monkeys, chicks, salamanders, goldfish, mice and rats.
 
   They also occurred in both the rods and cones, which are the eye structures that respond to light, the researchers wrote in a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 
  *New piece to puzzle of eye function*

   "We understand very little about how the retina works. By demonstrating that this receptor system is present, we add another piece to the puzzle, opening one more window into how the eye works," Straiker said.
 
   "It also suggests that marijuana affects vision, because it plugs into an existing signaling system that is abundant in the retina."
 
   Cannabinoids naturally occur in vertebrates. For instance, pain triggers the release of one class of cannabinoids known as anandamides. Anandamides are neurotransmitters, or message-carrying chemicals.
 
   The chemical THC found in marijuana also is a cannabinoid.
 
   Cannabis has been used for centuries to help relieve pain, and some research suggests it can affect vision and also may be able to help relieve symptoms of the eye disease glaucoma.
 
   Researchers think THC must plug into the body's natural system for using anandamide and other neurotransmitters.

Well it's an old article, but it says that thc gets absorbed in your brain, AND your eyes... Anybody ever feel like your vision is brighter or better? Maybe thats why.. who knows]]></description>

			<title>D.A. will prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries</title>

			<description><![CDATA[-- even if L.A. does not ban sales
 [Updated]
November 17, 2009 | 12:00 pm

Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley said today he will prosecute dispensaries that sell medical marijuana even if the Los Angeles City Council adopts an ordinance that does not ban such sales.

On Monday, two council committees rejected the city attorney’s advice and changed a provision in the proposed ordinance, allowing cash transactions as long as they complied with state law.

“Undermining those laws via their ordinance powers is counterproductive, and, quite frankly, we’re ignoring them. They are absolutely so irrelevant it’s not funny,” Cooley said.

Cooley said state law and state court decisions have made it clear that collectives cannot sell marijuana at dispensaries.

He reiterated his view that most, if not all, dispensaries in the county were in violation of the law. “We don’t know of one that’s not engaging in just over-the-counter sales,” he said.

The district attorney said his office was already prosecuting some dispensaries, and he promised to step up efforts next month. Cooley said he decided to weigh in today because he was irritated that the council had ignored the advice of the city attorney, Carmen Trutanich.

“What the City Council is doing is beyond meaningless and irrelevant,” he said.

The district attorney’s view could complicate the City Council’s deliberations. The council is scheduled to consider the ordinance Wednesday, more than four years after it first began to study the issue of dispensaries.

“These guys over there, God love them, are four years into this, and they won’t listen to their good lawyer,” Cooley said. “They’re sort of doing their own thing.”

[Updated at 12:58 p.m.: Councilman Ed Reyes, who has overseen the development of the city’s ordinance, said he did not think Cooley’s comments would cause the council to rethink whether to allow sales. “This is not about Cooley versus Reyes, or Cooley versus the council. This is about the quality of life. We all have better things to do than to do this legal jousting,” he said.

Reyes said the law was not clear on the issue. “We’ll let the courts decide,” he said. “We are trying our very best to work with a system that is very vague at this moment.”

He also noted that Cooley and Trutanich were allies and that both spoke at a training session for narcotics officers focused on eradicating dispensaries. “We’re here to serve the people, not to serve each other’s political agenda,” he said. “It makes no sense to play political football with people’s lives.”

Once the council acts on the issue, Reyes said, “We expect the city attorney to vigorous defend our medical marijuana ordinance.”]

			<title>Need Some Direct Scientific Studies Showing No Immune Impairment For Pot Users</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok so my sister and I got into this discussion the other day about pot negatively effecting immune function. Both her and I smoke cannabis, but both of us have somewhat a different attitude towards it. While she knows it's safer than most other drugs, which is one of the reasons why she continues to use it, she still takes a sort of guilty conscious "Oh it's ultimately bad for your health and society, I use it now, but one day I should give it up". One thing she often brings up.

Keep in mind that she is a medical student. And no matter how much I have stated that marijuana impairing immune function is not true and has not been proven, she insists on telling me that no she knows this a lot better than I do. That her two years of pre-med and two years of med school training gave her the right perspective, even though I have a huge feeling that med school does not give the complete picture on cannabis. Heck many doctors today really have no idea about medical cannabis, my own doctor for example bought into many of the untrue claims about cannabis. In reality, it seems to me that only a doctor who actually specializes in cannabis would be the only real "authority" on cannabis. Even then, when it comes down to it, the scientific evidence and the logical inquiry based off that scientific evidence is the only real authority.

I remember a friend of mine saying how he knows a friend who was also in med school that claimed LSD decreased spinal fluid. And this girl who claimed that started to get all intellectually arrogant on how "Oh I'm training to be a doctor, I know what I'm talking about." It seems that some people can be so brainwashed to think that everything they learn in classes is the truth, even the unbridled scientific truth. I guess many kids think the same thing about the DARE programs in their school, which is ultimately the same sort of thing.

Now of course there are articles like this;

Erowid Cannabis Vault : Exposing Marijuana Myths (http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_myth5.shtml)

That expose certain marijuana myths on immune function. However it would be nice if I can get some more current peer-reviewed scientific studies showing no decrease in immune function. Et al studies would be preferred, but any other formatted peer-reviewed scientific studies work too.

You know something like the tashkin et al studies that shows that smoking cannabis, unlike smoking tobacco, does not lead to lung cancer. I think showing her a few of these studies would shed any doubt on marijuana having a negative effect on immune function.]]></description>

			<pubDate>Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:13:34 GMT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[I was diagnosed with postpartum depression & anxiety disorder after the birth of my second child...  I have never had depression or anxiety before, so I was really taken a back regarding what I was experiencing.  Especially the anxiety.  My Dr. offered prescription anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication which I did not want to take...  I opted for counseling and exercise instead...  

After a year of suffering from anxiety & depression.  I finally broke down and accepted a prescription for anti-depressants & anti-anxiety medication...  I was put on a anti-depressant/anti anxiety medication that gave me horrible side effects...  I was also given a prescription for Xanax for the "days my anxiety was really bad"...  I told the Dr. I did not want anything addictive, and she said just don't take the xanax more than 4 times a week...

I went back a month later & reported my side effects, and the Dr. took me off the first anti-depressant/anti anxiety & prescribed me a different one along w/ xanax on a need be basis...  The prescription did not give me as many side effects, but it has provided me no real relief...  I went back to the Dr. a month and a half later, and she told me the dose of the anti depressant was too low and doubled the potency...

I have been taking the double dose of this medication and it is not working...  I have also taken the Xanax periodically which I do not want to take...  I have a follow up appointment coming up in which I get to tell the Dr. that the double dose has not helped...  I am worried she is just going to give me a different med that I get to play guinea pig w/ for another month...  

I am getting fed up, & did not even want to take prescription meds in the first place...  I broke down and gave it a try and it has been almost 4 months...  I am looking at additional alternatives at this point...
In my research I have found some information on how certain strains of medicinal marijuana have been successfully used to treat anxiety & depression...  Can anyone provide me more insights on this...?  or certain strains that have offered great success?

I live in California and am seriously considering getting my license to give this a try...  I also have 2 kids that I adore and would never smoke around them or jeopardize their safety in anyway...  I am concerned that having my medicinal marijuana license might jeopardize my parental rights?  Could I be discriminated against for having a license and being a mom of young children? 

Any information any of you can provide me would be appreciated...  Thank you......]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This thread is mostly for those who live in Michigan or have knowledge or experience with medical here.

I'm a clarinet performance major working for my undergraduate degree. As a performance major, I'm practicing upwards of seven hours a day. As a result of the sheer amount of time I spend practicing, I have pretty severe waves of tendinitis, and as a result, am almost in constant pain in my right wrist and have been in and out of physical therapy since my senior year of high school. My range of motion in my wrist is often limited to about 60-70%, and the very process of stretching or exercising my wrist (as recommended by my therapist) is excruciating.

My question is, does anybody know if tendinitis qualifies you for medical in Michigan? Anybody have, or know anyone who has, medical for the same or a similar reason?]]></description>

			<title>Traumatic Brain Injury</title>
			<link>http://www.marijuana.com/medicinal-marijuana/133576-traumatic-brain-injury.html</link>
			<pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:51:15 GMT</pubDate>
			<description>Well, I will start by saying what exactly a traumatic brain injury (henceforth TBI) is. A tbi is either when a blunt force hits the head, when something penetrates the head, or when the head is jerked about very hard (like an extreme form of shaken baby syndrome). It is different from damage in that the brain recovers from it. Recovery ranges anywhere from 0-100% and usually takes between 1 and 3 years, with younger people usually recovering much quicker.                                                                                                                                                             On march 24th I was walking along the side of the road when a old lady drove by. She saw me and watched out. Her friend, who swerved away from the center line, did not, and hit me going anywhere from 40-60mph. Consequence was that I was sent airborne about 15 feet and suffered numerous shattered and broken bones and a TBI. I was in the hospital in a medically induced coma for a couple of weeks, and then to a rehabilitation hospital. I have been home for most of the time since the accident and still suffer from sometimes crippling pain. I am on pain medicine(40mg oxycontin 10mg percocet, which was decided after months of trying different ones out) but it is sometimes insufficient. I was wondering if there would be any chance of receiving medicinal marijuana? I have heard of it being used for pain and am willing to try anything. I was also wondering (outside of getting a script) if marijuana is okay to use with a TBI? If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated. Any responses would be helpful.</description>

			<title><![CDATA[Cannabis users found to have a ‘significantly reduced' cancer risk Options There are]]></title>

By Paul Armentano NORML 
 
For some 35 years the US government has 
 been well aware that cannabis possesses 
 potent anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. 
 And for the past three years, government- 
 funded researchers have speculated 
 that these qualities may offer “protective” 
 effects against the onset of various types of 
 cancer, including lung cancer, in humans. 
 Yet to date, virtually no investigators 
 had scientifically assessed the potential 
 anti-cancer effects of cannabis in humans 
 — until now. 
 
In a clinical abstract published July 28 
 on the Cancer Prevention Research website, 
 a team of US investigators report that 
 cannabis use, even long-term, is associated 
 with a “significantly reduced risk” of head 
 and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 
 Investigators at Rhode Island’s Brown 
 University, along with researchers at 
 Boston U, Louisiana State, and U of 
 Minnesota, assessed the lifetime cannabis 
 use habits of 434 cases (patients diagnosed 
 with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 
 from nine medical facilities) compared 
 to 547 matched controls. 
 
The authors reported, “After adjusting 
 for potential confounders (including smoking 
 and alcohol drinking), 10 to 20 years of 
 cannabis use was associated with a significantly 
 reduced risk of head and neck squamous 
 cell carcinoma (HNSCC).” 
 
Perhaps even more notably, subjects 
 who smoked cannabis and consumed alcohol 
 and tobacco (two known high risk factors 
 for head and neck cancers) also had a 
 reduced risk of cancer, the study found. 
 
“Our study suggests that moderate 
 marijuana use is associated with reduced 
 risk of HNSCC,” investigators concluded. 
 
“This association was consistent across different 
 measures of marijuana use (marijuana 
 use status, duration, and frequency of 
 use). ... Further, we observed that cannabis 
 use modified the interaction between alcohol 
 and cigarette smoking, resulting in a 
 decreased HNSCC risk among moderate 
 smokers and light drinkers, and attenuated 
 risk among the heaviest smokers and 
 drinkers.” 
 
A separate 2006 population case-control 
 study also reported that lifetime use of 
 cannabis was not positively associated 
 with cancers of the lung or aerodigestive 
 tract, and noted that certain moderate 
 users of the natural drug experienced a 
 reduced cancer risk compared to non-using 
 control groups. 
 
By contrast, a study published recently 
 in the journal Cancer Epidemiology reports 
 that even the moderate use of alcohol (six 
 drinks or less per week) is associated with 
 an elevated risk of various cancers – 
 including stomach cancer, rectal cancer, 
 and bladder cancer. 
 
As of this writing, no mainstream 
 media outlet has reported on the July, 2009 
 release of the cancer study.
