David; Right now I can't express an opinion. I had briefly posted something the other day but... it's not here.
I only watched 6 or so minutes in (it's a long video) I'll try and watch/listen to it in spurts over the next couple days.
What did "you" think of it?

I watched about 1/2 of it. It sounds promising. Most of our drugs come from plants so I can see where something like this would seem possible. I would need a little more info from users.
I thought you'd put something here too Jackie. ??

Thank you David for posting this. I have been growing my own and eating or drinking my cannabis in teas. I firmly believe that this might be why my COPD has not ravaged my lungs as I believe that I have been living with this condition for the last 10 years I just wasn't diagnosed correctly at the time. I haven't had the time to watch this whole video (only 1/2) but it looks promising. Here in BC I will be losing my license to grow my own in April and find that very upsetting as I will not know who is growing my plants nor how the oil or tea will be processed. Has anyone else out there been using cannabis in some form and found it helpful? I actually starting using it form my chronic neck pain and found it made a big difference to my quality in life.

I've now watched about 20 min's.
Hmmmmm; I'm not quite sure what to think. I "do" beleive in the need and use of medical marijuana; especially for pain treatment and nausea i.e. from chemo.
I'm not sure if in fact it does "help" the lungs or does it just give the perception of breathing better (such as opiods do) I guess I'm saying I'd like to see a bit of research on it if anyone has any? (Maybe at some point I'll do some searches as well)
Stoker I'm sorry to hear you're loosing your license; it seems the Govt has pulled a lot of them to go with more govt assigned/controlled/larger ops. (They wanna get their tax dollars and percentages back after all) Perhaps your Dr can give you the name of a distributor that you could/would be having to use and contact them with your questions?
David; you still haven't said what you thought of it.
BTW; I'm sure you've all heard that Colorado has legalized it...

I believe it could be true. I was born and raised in Mississippi where Mississippi State University grew and studied marijuana for the Pharmaceutical companies back in the '70's and '80's. The marijuana plant is the most studied plant in history. There are like 700 to 800 chemicals in the plant. THC being just one of them. I don't know about now but in the past there was not one prescription drug that didn't contain one of the chemicals from the marijuana plant. They can leave the THC out. Medical Marijuana is very different than smoking dope. The Hemp plant is the most valuable plant on earth. They say it can do everything crude oil can do and more. Thanks to Harry Anslinger and our Government we are ignorant of the facts  |

Thanks you for pointing out David that medical cannabis is very different from what hippies smoked back in the day. I have used medical cannabis for chemo recovery (the THC was removed; that was given to me at the time in pill form when I lived in the US) and now for chronic neck pain. i am seeing my MD today for referal to a proper COPD clinic here in Vancouver and to see what I can work out with the new laws that prohibit me from growning my own now. i would never take anything without checking with my MD first.
