I was going through some of my old post material from the days before live-streaming my thoughts directly, and I found the message that kicked off that little spat with NCPIC after they released another piece of propaganda on medical cannabis. a spat that lasted months and resulted in them losing their funding lol
I've included samples of their so-called facts in my message
Check it out:
I just took the time to read the latest of your info on medical cannabis and was curious as to why you did not mention in the preamble that it was a work of fiction, for instance, your introduction seems deficient in a few facts:
Prior to the development of modern science, cannabis was used as a medicine.
1 It enjoyed a brief period of popularity as a medicinal herb in Europe and the United States in the 1800's being prescribed for various conditions including menstrual cramps,, asthma, cough, insomnia, birth labor, migraine, throat infection & withdrawal from op**te use.
2 Because of the problems with titrating the dose there were issues with patients being given too little or too much resulting in anything from no effect to adverse effects.
Cannabis was removed from the register of medicines in the early twentieth century in the USA and made illegal at around the same time.
Firstly to state the removal of cannabis from the medicine list was because it was unable to be safely dosed, control the quality or to say it's medical use was limited or only for brief period of time in the 1800's,
Well quite simply that's like saying the cow has had a brief use as the source of beef. Cannabis use in medicine can be traced back over four thousand years & in use by our culture for as long as recorded history consider the irony that much of the records of ancient history was probably first recorded on a cannabis derived product.
Consider the simple facts, such as why if it was so difficult to use Cannabis as a medicine what was the reason for the American Medical Association to petition the INCB (International Narcotic Control Board) to not place cannabis into schedule 1 and not to remove it from their range of treatment options and to maintain availability for research purposes.
There is also a failure to mention cannabis was a highly successful treatment for epilepsy and a number of assorted spasmodic conditions and yet with no other effective medication replacement available at the time nor has an effective medication been developed since the medication was withdrawn, There is no avoiding the simple truth, Cannabis was & is still the only effective treatment a fact which has been known to the field of medicine for hundreds of years which really makes the millions of men women and children who lost their lives prematurely some after many years of pain & suffering and others after very few all these deaths caused by something that could have been successfully treated. Instead they label the conditions untreatable forcing those that want to live and wish to have some element of quality of life being able to go to school make friends and do what everyone else considers just normal daily activities rather than being filled with steroids and statins in a semi conscious state depending on others to wipe their backsides for the limited life they will experience.
Are you not getting tired of doing nothing but distributing lies and misleading propaganda which is intended to harm the 30-40% of Australians who use cannabis regularly & responsibly as they have for decades with NO harmful effects and on a personal level over thirty years of ongoing use and hitting half a century without any serious illness whatsoever I would be interested in exactly how long a term of use is required for all these long term effects we hear so much about. Try supplying factual information about cannabis and get behind the truth instead of standing like fools in the market place telling everyone the end is nigh. the kids all have google in their smart phones and their parents are either my generation or my oldest kids generation so they already know the truth. Earn a bit of respect by respecting the truth and lets work together to make this work properly you cant stop it happening at this point and need to realise how much work is required to even understand the potential impact and opportunities if planned and implemented correctly, transitioning industries where the biomass is the more economical option developing a dept to regulate both cultivation and availability. The need to top this charade of ignoring facts & publication of statements such as this:
• addiction
• adverse psychological effects including impaired judgement and thinking
• delusional thoughts, anxiety and depression, psychosis (all conditions that may persist)
• persistent cognitive decline
• physical problems including circulation (such as stroke and heart attack) and lung problems (chronic cough, sputum production, wheezing and bronchitis) and some cancers
• financial problems
# All respected peer reviewed study's conclude cannabis is Not Addictive
# All short term effects of intoxication with a much less harmful impact than alcohol
There are no links between cannabis use and any form of mental illness all claims of predisposition being activated by cannabis use have been categorically dis-proven in many studies from institutions such as Harvard University, these studies consistently showed no causation between cannabis use and schizophrenia as have all factual peer reviewed study'son the subject. There is evidence of efficacy in the results from a series of clinical trials conducted with 9 human volunteers as participants for a study on cannabis treatment efficacy at reducing aggressive cancer cell growth.
The the outcomes of the various treatments trialed showed some very positive results, which is why its quite surprising why many deny these trials took place despite the British Medical journal having Published the results in 2001.
I am supplying a link to the sync online data storage where a folder containing 9 studies which you may find of interest in regards to cancer treatment, try googling the pharmacy guide for the 1920-40s and see how many treatments contained Cannabis., https://ln.sync.com/dl/6d704c830 -s94ry8na-7bmigstw-fxtk4wur
