Another good herb for pain in Kratom. It is from a leaf from a family of trees. It is a non addictive pain reliever. It taste absolutely disgusting but it works amazingly well. Marijuana more or less just makes you feel so good you just ride through the pain. Kratom actually makes the pain level go down. I'm sure it will be illegal at some point just because it is competition to big Pharma.

My neighbor smokes a lot of marijiana for pain. He is starting to throw fits and has been for a while. I think he may have developed a bipolar problem from the dope.

Throwing fits from pain or just anything in general.
I don't think the marijuana is the cause unless he is withdrawing from not having any.
It may be a root of bitterness causing him to throw fits. That's a deep rooted cause that comes from past issues that have been tucked away instead of resolved.

Having been someone who has suffered from addiction from Marijuana to Meth. It's such a personal choice when it comes down to these things, some say it helps, and thus they use it. Having been an non-sober person for a complete year, its a subjective thing.

I personally believe that weed is not good for me, nor is meth. Therefore be careful with what you do with your own body in which Christ lives with-in. Quenching the Spirit can keep you down and out for the most part of being a purposeful Christian who can help someone who may be in need right away but if one is messed up on drugs one needs to be careful, it's not that God doesn't love you even so you are doped up. It's just your body is going through so much it can be dangerous, though people have mixed feelings about it.

Im not against people going to the doctor for medications to help them with pain, and for healing infections, but when it comes to drugs, personal discretion is advised always.

Reading the word of God helps renew the mind, and helps reinforce the spirit of Christ with-in you and it is the most profitable.

I really don't know but the other day he apologized for making so much noise. He's been throwing anger fits like I was before I got on psych meds. Mine were caused from bipolar schizophrenia. But you should probably read the government site on marijuana:

"Clinicians agree that cannabis use can cause acute adverse mental effects that mimic psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Although there is good evidence to support this, the connections are complex and not fully understood." Cannabis-Induced Bipolar Disorder with Psychotic Features: A Case Report

Smoking dope that is grown under lights is what can cause problems and should never be smoked.
Smoking Synthetic dope is outright stupid and should be jailed for using such.
Not all natural dope is the same thing as well.

A old mate smoked dope form 19yo to 55yo totally full on as anyone ever could and he did the Speed for some years like a total moron.
He is a compulsive obsessive person, he would drink like a fish and want competitions drinking all the time, too see who could drink a beer the faster and who could drink the most !
We just thought he was joking, but he was truly serious about such nonsense ! but then I came to understand this is a real problem, it's real ! and it's a serious problem !

Out of all the people I knew who smoked dope a bit back in the 80's only about 10% would still smoke dope nowadays.

That old mate gave up smoking dope easy as, he said but giving up smoking the fags was truly hell for him and still battling with that
He would smoke dope on the hour, he would go away in a room pull a cone and walk out blow the smoke outside.
Old mate was just born stupid and still is stupid, but he has learnt, just like another mate up the road who is much the same, you can learn from people like that, who are open and honest with you about such things.

Some people just should not smoke or drink at all because they are not like people who have self control. not to mention some people can not drink Rum because their gut can not deal with it the way others do, so this type of person just becomes a total pest on Rum but is ok on beer.

What has happened as regarding dope it was given a bad wrap over the years, that the majority of people were only brainwashed and not truly educated on the subject at all. so the subject is like dealing with a 3yo. my mum is hysterical thinking she will become addicted or happy, grave fear of taking any medical dope for pain. and sure the Hippy's back in her day were the lowest of the low drop out trash, so she thinks that's how one ends up. sleeping in a dumpster etc, seriously ! Medical dope is nothing to do with that rubbish at all and the hippies were into more than just dope, but the dope got the bad rap for everything.

Cannabis can cause temporary Psychosis if taken in huge amounts. If you have Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder you should not use it as well as teenagers s their brain is still developing. As in everything moderation.

I am not sure how I feel about medical marijuana but I have 3 family members (age 24-78) all of which suffered some kind of chronic disease....one of them was taking 5 blood pressure medications and they still couldn't get her blood pressure under control.
She has been taking medical marijuana in a liquid form and her blood pressure has been normal for.the past 8 months......
The other 2 members suffered chronic fibromyalgia and neuropathy......and had to stay on strong pain medication in order to just get around the house.
Now both are off the pain meds and strictly take medical marijuana in gummie form.
I believe that the results speak for themselves. Did we not know that God has his own pharmacy and that modern medicine hijacked many natural plant based medicinals and synthesised a component to make a drug that could be patented so that the drug companies could sell it for as much money as they believed it was worth.....it’s a disgusting racket. You can’t patent a plant. And the whole plant is designed by God to cure disease. A component may only address some of the symptoms, but never fix the problem.

How strange that the drug industry demonised the plant they called “weed” so that they could replace its medicinal value with a range of manufactured, chemically based synthetics, all with a long list of side effects. Drugs that only keep symptoms at bay without actually curing anything. No money in cures...that is a bad business model.

Side effects are not usually seen with natural medicines if they are prescribed in appropriate doses for appropriate ailments. It’s the abuse of this plant that has caused the problems. Of itself, cannabis in not harmful or addictive, and can be use to treat all manner of ailments successfully without a huge cost...and has been for thousands of years. Our bodies have canabinoid receptors all over it. So no matter what is wrong it goes to the part of the body that requires it.
It’s so easy to grow and to make your own medicIne in your own kitchen for free...especially if you know what strain and dosage to use for your particular problem.....but that of course would put the drug companies out of business.
I asked God how can something like marijuana cure or treat so many ailments....yet cause so many problems?
It’s not the plant that causes the problems.....it’s the people who use it and the corporations that try to cash in on what God created free of charge.
Now I am not advocating for anyone to start using it...I am just so naive about it and would like some input.
This medicine should be freely available as it is from pharmacies it’s where it is legal to buy it. Those behind the counter know exactly which strain of the plant is needed for what ails you. We should be able to consult the experts and gain the most benefit from its many medicinal strains.

God’s medicine works with the body, not against it.
It stops epilepsy in children, but they won’t allow its to be used to replace their expensive and useless drugs. Parents who wanted to use it because they saw how effective it was, and obtained a supply, were reported to police and had their children taken off them and placed in hospital where their drug therapies with horrendous side effects were reinstated.
They had no side effects with cannabis....and they had no seizures.....so what is going on here?

A Father here in Australia treated both his daughters who had IBS, with cannabis so that they enjoyed a better quality of life and even put on weight, so he attempted to grow his own medicine for them only to have some ignorant “do-gooder” report him to the police and had him arrested. His girls were put back on the drugs that had kept them ill for so long, and they got worse. This is how controlling and evil this world is....greed drives everything. Misguided people spreading the ignorance put out by the drug companies.

Have you ever seen “Reefer madness”...it was an old propaganda film designed to demonise cannabis. Seeing it now, just makes you shake your head. I think it’s still on YouTube. It just makes you laugh at how gullible people are.

The medical system as we know it today is a colossal sham. The medical schools who train the doctors are only teaching them to prescribe the drugs that big pharma manufactures. They are penalised here in Australia for even mentioning alternative treatments. They are locked into the system whether they like it or not.

Surgeries can cost ridiculous amounts of money, if you don’t have insurance, and specialist doctors charge like wounded elephants! Some people have to sell their homes to pay for medical treatment....that doesn’t even work....that is appalling!

The truth is coming out and exposing the medical system for what it is. Part of the world ruled by the devil. (1 John 5:19) I avoid doctors if I can....and prefer natural therapists.

The fact that it is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug in many places is ridiculous. It is not harmful or addictive, like alcohol which is freely available and has been causing havoc all over the world for centuries…..paramedics and Emergency service workers are kept busy all weekend with drunks off their face causing harm to themselves and others. It is the worst drug of addiction…and yet, it’s still legal.

What does that tell you? That here is another big industry where profits mean more than peoples lives and health.
Governments also profit off their taxes.
There are so many natural medicines that have been demonized as quackery, but real science proves their effectiveness…otherwise the drug companies would not need to copy nature (albeit badly) to produce their drugs.

Follow the money trail….

Hello. I am very sceptical about the long term use of medical marijuana. About forty years ago I watched a documentary about pot abuse. They showed an MRI type of brain scan, of a long term user. Their was a half inch black strip of dead brain running down the middle of this guys head. I don't know if that happens to people who use pot medically and in controlled amounts. But after seeing that program, I never smoked pot again. I think we need allot more research into the effects of marijuana, at different levels and quantities etc . You should have a chat with a neurologist and get their point of view before using It . Cheers and good luck

Hello. I am very sceptical about the long term use of medical marijuana.
This plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years with no documented problems.
We are talking about medicinal cannabis that is administered as an oil taken orally. Prescribed by those who know this plant and it’s medicinal benefits, and who prescribe the proper strains at the appropriate dosage.

We are not talking about “pot heads” here.
About forty years ago I watched a documentary about pot abuse. They showed an MRI type of brain scan, of a long term user. Their was a half inch black strip of dead brain running down the middle of this guys head. I don't know if that happens to people who use pot medically and in controlled amounts.
The “Reefer Madness” propaganda that was broadcast around that time was designed to scare people so that they would not be game to even try it…it was touted as a most destructive gateway drug, leading to addiction to other drugs…..strangely, smoking cigarettes seems to be a bigger starting point for addiction in most people. If you have an addictive personality, you will be tempted to try harder drugs anyway, but those who take medicinal cannabis do not become addicted and there is no danger of stronger addiction if they are not drug oriented in the first place.
Most people take it for pain relief, as well as for some neurological conditions and also for the symptoms of PTSD.
It has a wide range of applications and in the majority of people has no side effects.
But after seeing that program, I never smoked pot again. I think we need allot more research into the effects of marijuana, at different levels and quantities etc . You should have a chat with a neurologist and get their point of view before using It . Cheers and good luck
Isn’t it strange that the drug companies who demonized this plant as a dangerous drug, are now producing it themselves because the benefits of it usage have been published and they want to cash in on the popularity of it. It actually works, and with little to no side effects. Yet friends of mine who have had it prescribed by their doctors here in Australia, have trouble finding any consistency in the pharma produced products at $200 a bottle. You can grow it and make it yourself at home for free…..but they won’t let you do that……I wonder why?

A medical practitioner trained by the current medical system will often refuse to prescribe it because of being indoctrinated with the use of pharma drugs for many years….despite the fact that their drugs cure nothing….and that is basically on purpose.
Medical doctors would be the last people I would talk to about medicinal cannabis….unless they are on board with the latest medical knowledge……talk to the people who know exactly how it works, what strains to use for different conditions, and appropriate dosages. It’s about knowledge and control of usage….

If people can still legally obtain alcohol and cigarettes which are proven to cause terrible health problems, what on earth could they possibly have as a reason to demonize a harmless medicinal plant that has been used throughout history all over the world…except to want to make money from the drugs that are basically designed to keep people sick and exploiting them as customers for life. The lid has been lifted…
Greed drives this world because of who is its god. (1 John 5:19)

As I said follow the money trail…..

People were brainwashed for years about cannabis being such a great threat ! so it have became such a great struggle to make such people open their eyes !

Iike just look at how many prescribed drugs anyone gets ? They can kill anyone in fact ! Seriously !
But real old days dope can not kill anyone in fact, you can smoke or eat it and It will not kill you.

Most problems that I seen with people on Dope has to do with people with real problems or some mental Issues, like a mate of mine had. and being stupid he got into Speed ! and that smashed him ! He lived in a fantasy world ! but got off all Drugs for 5 years after his sister died of an over dose in his arms.
He said it was easy to give up the Dope simple as from smoking such crap every hour on the hour that I seen him do, but the smokes were real hellfire for him to give up !
He is dead now, as he had gut issues and would drink milk for such an issue and got real fat as ! then he just bleed out of his mouth in bed too his death. at 60 years old.

Here is a link to the trailer for the 1936 movie… “Reefer Madness”…..portraying a harmless plant as something so sinister that it was called “public enemy number one”! The scourge of youth leading to all manner of aberrant behavior…..1936! That is how far back this sickening lie went….and look how long it’s taken to undo the damage.

Knowing what we know now……you can see the basis for this propaganda film that is so full of misinformation that the ignorant and uneducated swallowed it, hook, line and sinker…..does anyone recognize propaganda for what it is? It has been used for centuries to paint a dark picture of the enemy whilst portraying oneself as the hero….it works on all platforms…..intended to sway people’s perceptions….not towards the truth, but to promote a lucrative lie….again follow the money trail. Out of every propaganda film someone is adding to their bottom line.

Propaganda is usually broadcast these days as the daily NEWS. I don’t watch TV news anymore…..I don’t believe a word they say.
