OH KNOWLEDGABLE ONES

As I’m sure you are all sick of hearing about my studies I’ve had a question about a statement I made. I missed it. I have stated that some people have reported that cannabis taken for medical purposes helps their autoimmune symptoms. I’ve now been asked for source material or to cite a peer reviewed report. Can’t find my original source material. Anybody on here got any ideas? Any help appreciated as it is a fairly crucial point of argument.

Its why we always ask for links here so that we can go back to people. You might get some help when everyone wakes up again. Good luck.YBB

Forget formal materials and reports; They've only just started being justified due to increasing medical use. You've got to try cannabis and see if it works for you. It eases my PMR discomfort and it goes back to the ancient Chinese as a viable natural herbal medicine that grows on God's Green Earth.

I know it is so frustrating. What I'm trying to say is that they have found new neurochemicals which, if produced they have the effects of the cannabis plant. Negating the need to break thel law.

There's probably something in this journal or others on pharmacology and neuropharmacology (???) . I can't access but the bibliographies might help you.

Only got a phone so would take yonks to do it.... Computers do serve a purpose afterall.

You know, I have a vague memory of hearing an item on the radio about how if we'd discovered the cannabinoid receptors before the dopamine receptors we'd be treating them much the same way in terms of our attitudes and medical handling. The cannabinoid receptors are there for a reason.

I do not have either the patience or the background knowledge to understand this paper but it may relate to your question:
