163305 tn?1333668571 Within a decade of the end of America’s War on Drugs, hemp is going to be an even bigger industry than psychoactive cannabis—and it's healthy. July 1, 2013 | How can a decision be both astonishing and a no-brainer? On June 20, the U.S. House of Representatives passed (as the rest of the world long ago did) an industrial cannabis (hemp) cultivation provision in the massive five-year Farm Bill. The vote was 225-200.
Avatar f tn This was because of the vast variety of uses that came from this plant; clothing, medicine, food, etc. Hemp can replace cotton, and that is another reason the government was pushed against it's growth/use. Cotton uses ALOT of pesticides (which are obviously bad for the earth) it also makes the land of which cotton is grown on UNUSABLE afterwards. Hemp/Marijuana needs NO PESTICIDES!
Avatar f tn And of course, smoking industrial hemp, which most hemp is made of, would just give you a raging headache. Wasn't really suggesting anyone smoke hemp. But traditional medicine would have made a tincture out of the whole plant, and it probably wouldn't have been very potent and probably wouldn't have worked.
Avatar n tn I used to smoke but had to quit in order to get the pain meds that I need very much to help control chronic pain from RSD. The only bad side-effect from smoking weed is jail time.... & the fact that you can't get the medicines you need if you smoke!! It's a God given plant, made on the 6th day of Creation, I believe. God looked at ALL He had made & deemed it ALL good!!!
Avatar m tn Right before he began to lobby for the ban on marijuana and all hemp made products in the USA, he had purchased many paper mills. Ones that cut down TREES to make paper instead of using hemp. Hemp is a renewable source of paper making. But he didn't invest into hemp farms. He was investing into saw mills and that cut trees and made paper from them.
Avatar m tn There are dozens of different varieties of hemp, most of which are very low in THC. Over 25.000 useful products are made from hemp. Industrial hemp has been legalized in Canada since a few years ago. There are multiple variable risk factors in regards to developing an addiction to marijuana (to make a distinction from hemp) which is predominately psychological. Do a search for the following study: Hall, W., Degenhardt, L. and Lynskey, M. (2001).
1353720 tn?1414503124 As he took the Zyprexa for about a few weeks, he experience negative side effects of weight gain, feelings of emptiness and drowsiness. He is a vegan and he use to smoke weed on occasion. He recently was thinking about smoking weed again instead of taking zyprexa, he has already stopped taking zyprexa because he was scared it was doing damage to him. Just to clarify, are you saying that you are taking marijuana rich in CBD to relieve your symptoms?
1054985 tn?1257173275 I relize that there is no medical studies on the effects of joint smoking and MS, however I doubt it is that bad. Hopefully I am not outcasted as an outlaw! Just looking for opinions.
Avatar f tn I'm a little confused -- you say you want more protein. Is this a body building thing, because there are a lot of vegetarian foods high in protein. Brown rice powder isn't one of them -- brown rice protein is, but that's protein isolated from brown rice, whereas hemp powder is just powdered hemp, which as a seed will have some protein but is mostly nutritious for its omega 3 fatty acids. But all nuts are high in protein, as are all beans.
Avatar n tn This is where the federal prohibition on all hemp products has really put a crimp on us -- before this ban industrial hemp was one of the most valuable agricultural crops in the US and that industry has gone to other countries because of our decision to ban it. According to historians and political scientists, the ban on it was a racist move to enable throwing more African-Americans in prison, as jazz musicians and intellectuals were using it.
Avatar f tn Finally, cannabis use is increasingly emerging as a novel co-morbidity in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Indeed, regular cannabis smoking is an independent predictor of both fibrosis and steatosis severity in infected patients. In addition, experimental studies have shown that cannabinoid CB1 receptors enhance liver fibrogenesis and steatogenesis by distinct mechanisms, therefore strongly supporting epidemiolog- ical findings.
Avatar f tn I have heard about this, Rick Simpson's web page is http://www.phoenixtears.ca/ .He has a awesome video that shows hemp oil's effect on a man with parkinsons disease, it totally relieves him of his shaking, which at the start of the video is clearly causing him severe discomfort. After ingesting the hemp oil he seems to be able to function and is able to keep his hand almost completely still, its amazing. Here is the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Ue8OBhT2U .
Avatar n tn Hello, Dark circles under the eyes are temporary and caused due to insomnia, smoking, a family history of dark circles, deficiency of vit K in diet, allergies like sinusitis and eczema, and adrenal gland disorders. Take rest adequately and eat healthy nutritious food containing lots of green vegetables. Try to avoid caffeine, because it promotes water retention and leads to the dryness of the eye.
397118 tn?1219762250 The only test that shows THC usage after a 4 week cycle is a hair folicle test. But, a hair folicle test can cost upwards of $75. Which, is very rare for any type of municipal or regulated testing. I wish u luck in your trials with your nephew. I am raising my neice. I am a strict *******. But, she loves me for it. God bless. Oh, one other thing. Simply ask him if he has to pee when he is testing. If the answer is yes, then you have your answer.
Avatar f tn What is the proper terminology for an allergy to cannabis? Does the term also include hemp in its name? I'm trying to conserve space on a medical bracelet. Thanks for any comments.

Avatar f tn I sell skincare and body care products. Hemp lotion does wonders! I live in the Canadian prairies and our winters are very brutal. Hemp lotion is my best selling item all year round. Hemp has healing properties and is natural so it shouldn't sting. I'm not sure if you live somewhere that has the body shop but they have the best hemp products by far. Maybe try putting a thick layer of lotion on your feet and put on cotton socks over night. Hopefully it works out for you.
Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
451191 tn?1264432890 I nearly had a heart attack when I found Hemp Milk in Whole Foods last May when I was prepping for RAI.
Avatar n tn thanks so much to both of you! I am going to look for hemp milk today, and if I can't find, buy lots of coconut milk. I have been reading your RAI threads too and they are sooo helpful. I hope you are both less nauseus today!
Avatar f tn ok i have had the same experience with the hemp lotion to except i have broke out in little small rashes that are blotchy and extremely itchy!& the more i itch them the more it spreads! if ya know anything let me know.
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar f tn So I used to use hemp lotion every day during the summer cause it helps keep a tan and I'm wanting to start it again! Is it okay during pregnancy?
Avatar n tn i also have alot of random thoughts and alot of things remind me of people usual they just pop into my head. im trying to figure out whats going on and if it will just go away?
Avatar m tn You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
