Yet when she fell and cracked a rib and the ER doc gave her a prescription for percocet she took the absolute minimum dose he suggested, less often than he suggested and stopped sooner than suggested. (throwing that in for balance) |

We had a constant flow of teenagers in our house and they probably knew the street value of those pills. I just got temptation out of the way. |

I will keep it brief as I am losing the will to live on this. I absolutely agree with the pair of you- I hate oxycodone and similar being doled out like smarties by doctors, I was shocked when I moved jobs over here. I strictly limit my opioids prescribing and regularly drug test. Diversion is a huge problem. Fentanyl has been around for decades. Drug users are playing russian roulette taking drugs cut with it often a synthetised high concentration version drug which often kills.- some people may say no loss :(
I have no control if people smoke cigs, do weed, drink 12 bottles of beer per night, eat Timmies do-nutser dayit is likely to do harm over time but it hacks me off that marijuana has put up as a panacea of all cures because people want to medicalise it's use, for a sore toe, a vague sense of unease or relieving an attack of the colly-wobbles. Sorry Danny, that is simply BS. :thumbdown: UK government finally concedes cannabis has a medicinal effect | The Independent |

Did you see this report today? See my post #14. Low dose THC weed is reported to have health benefits.
UK government finally concedes cannabis has a medicinal effect | The Independent This research specifically discusses CBD, not "medical marijuana" (I find that term crass and misrepresentative btw). You were encouraging everyone to get their medical marijuana licences (thanks for that evidence based advice Dr Dr Danny :lol:) with the whole contents of the plant. I can tell you now, the bulk of users of MM seem weirdly drawn to the psychoactive THC and the rest of the other harmful chemicals. I wouldn't have huge horror in people using isolated/purified CBD, purification done by a licensed pharmaceutical company with chromatography evidence that that is all that is in the product, not produced by "The Bong Factory, High street, Nelson" |
Re: Cannabis
I read a couple of reports about these guys over several years leading up to this article while they were still developing it, and wondered why the synthetic wasn't up and running by now? Could it be a business issue and just costs too much?

CBD and its potential benefits have been known for years. I think you need to correct your post #14 to read not low dose THC but - containing no THC. The difference is that CBD is a single isolated chemical extracted from marijuana dispensing with the other 70 plus identified chemicals including THC.

Can you do me up a prescription for one of these please Doc? Jnr Dr Danny will let you all know the results :lol:
I love the way that calling it a "Medipen"makes it seem all "medically" scientific. I note that they emphasise that it is organic .. therefore must be healthy :rofl: I am really uncertain about the benefits/harms of vaping tbh and I was thinking that if CBD had a value then it would be topical only 20% doesn't sound particularly high strength- what is the other 80% ?? Part will be that wonderful pother panacea of all cures, coconut oil but what else? |

I don't often see much from the National Post but this was on the local paper's website. The thing at the bottom with some rough stats from across the country is interesting, and the database thing works to find your town.

Re: Cannabis
So Ontario is going to set up stores similar to that run by LCBO staff under the LCBO banner. Lots of unhappy pot shop owners this week I guess. Maybe they did all jump the gun a little

Re: Cannabis
I'd give my right nut to have a legal weed store here in Kamloops next July. It would be a licence to print money.
I was at a store in Vegas recently and there were queues out the door. Cash only. |

Won't it be less available after legalization than now? Presumably there will be some sort of government store, like the LCBO, which opens limited hours. If your stash runs out at 2am on Monday you'll be stuffed until 9; no more calling for someone to bicycle round to your house on demand.

Re: Cannabis
I met Jodie Emery once, maybe 7 or 8 years ago and thought she was very nice but a bit loopy (as befits a zealous adherent to anything). I didn't realise who she was until years later when seeing her on the news.
