Chronic Pain & Medical Cannabis
Between 1840 and 1900 over 1000 major medical articles recommending
cannabis as a therapeutic agent were published.
It is still puzzling that no serious modern survey of the therapeutic
value in cannabis has been conducted. This is because it is illegal, and may
well be due to pressures from the pharmaceutical and drug companies who fear
loss of profits if cannabis is accepted medicinally. Just imagine all those
people growing their own remedy!
CANNABIS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY USED IN THE
TREATMENT OF:
This is the list of states
with medical marijuana to the best of my knowledge - California, Oregon,
Washington, Alaska, Arizona, and Nevada. Colorado and the District of
Columbia both voted in favour of it but were both denied by the
government. (November 1998)
At the 10th International Conference on Drug
Policy, 1996, USA John P Morgan MD, Professor of Pharmacology, City University
of New York Medical School, said of Marinol, the synthetic THC marketed in the
States, "In a recent study, the scientists gave patients 20 mg of Marinol
by mouth to see if it increased their appetite. Not only could they not detect
much appetite-increasing effect, but also they learned the interesting fact
that, in one-third of people who take Marinol by mouth, you have no blood
levels at all. The drug is so poorly bio-available it's surprising that it got
onto the market. There may well be some reason to believe that there are
individuals in our government who are interested in getting Marinol on the
market to diminish the pressure for marijuana smokers."
One of the best effects Marijuana can have in
any terminal illness is to produce a degree of euphoria which boosts morale in
a depressing situation.....Dr. Anthony Henman
