[...some good, simple advice, thank you, any time] Marijuana as a Medicine In this edition, I felt it was about time that the subject of "Medicinal Marijuana and strains" be discussed, especially with the introduction of medical marijuana in the "apotheeks", (Chemists) as of 1st September 2003, here, in fair Holland. Just what makes one strain better for "medical" use than another strain? what illnesses can marijuana be used for... in short, what is medicinal marijuana? Cannabis use as a medicine is not a new revelation. Historically, medicinal cannabis was first written about in the Ancient Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Sheen Nung's Tsáo in 2737 BC. So, the obvious question is why in our "civilised world" (quote, unquote) has it taken so long for governments to give their "seal of approval" to this versatile plant? In short, politics, big pharmaceutical companies and money! Anyway, back to the subject in hand, "Medicinal Marijuana". There has been many clinical researches concerning the use of cannabis and cannabinoids for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, experienced by some cancer patients (1). In the instance of Pain, marijuana proves to be the most common symptom for which patients seek therapeutic relief, to combat 'the sensation of physical discomfort, mental anguish or suffering caused by aggravation of the sensory nerves'. If one refers to the authors of the 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, "Marijuana as Medicine: Assessing the Science Base", one will find reference to three types of pain to which marijuana can make a difference to the sufferer - somatic pain, viscereal pain and neuropathic pain. There is much evidence to support the use of inhaled cannabis and cannabinoids for patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Disease, HIV, Phantom Limb Pain following amputaion (2 and 3), Spinal Cord Injury, Tourettes Syndrome (4) and menstrual cramps to name but a few... The next question is, what makes a good medical marijuana strain? It has been established by many reputable sources and medical marijuana organistaions, including scientists at GW Pharmaceuticals lab in England, that Sativa strains are more effective at treating pain than Indica strains. Sativa has generally higher THC (tetrahydrocannibinol) than CBD (cannabidiol)... (see also Newsletter #8, Harvesting and Drying) ...which means it provides a more cerebral, soaring type of high; more energetic thus stimulating brain activity and may produce hallucinations. Flavours range from earthy to sweet and fruity. Indica's higher CBD than THC equals a much heavier, sleepy type of high. Indica plants have a very stony high that is relaxing and can help different medical problems. As quoted by Hilary Black of the British Columbia Compassion Society: "...the Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. The Sativa strains are MORE of a stimulant, effective in appetite stimulation, relieving depression, migranes, pain and nausea. We are now aware of specific strains that are effective for specific conditions and symptoms." ********HGF Medical strain tips******** Sativas

The first major report on the effects of cannabis use in Ireland revealed:
Dr Des Corrigan, Chairperson of the National Advisory Committee on Drugs, said that the report highlighted the need for more research on cannabis in Ireland. "The NACD, as a result of its analysis of the report concluded that there is a need to monitor the potency of cannabis products on the Irish market; as well as establishing the extent of cannabis dependence, and whether there are links between cannabis use and mental ill-health and respiratory illnesses, in particular," he said.
