Marijuana DVD

2008-04-22T11:20:00.007+01:00

Today I thought we talk about a really cool marijuana DVD that has recently been released. After all comedy is healthy for the heart.

The following is a short description on the marijuana movie:

Totally Baked is a stoner comedy – executive produced by AC/DC’s Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson also wrote three new songs for the film soundtrack which is a big highlight of this marijuana DVD! In addition, 10% of all direct sales through the website will be donated to NORML (The National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws).

Please see the following trailer for this cult marijuana DVD, we would appreciate if you could comment on the film.

Medical Marijuana Vending Machines

2008-03-15T12:30:00.004Z

I have given a writer the opportunity to practise her craft by writing an article. So please share your thoughts on medical marijuana vending machines:

Although it sounds like something out of a satirical cartoon (I can definitely see Homer Simpson using it), marijuana vending machines are now a reality. The first one appeared at the Herbal Nutrition Center (HNC) in Los Angeles. The HNC is a popular medical cannabis dispensary that strives to bring a positive service to the Los Angeles community.

This Prescription Vending Machine (PVM), which is being casually referred to "the marijuana ATM," will only be available to those with a legitimate subscription. Those who register with the program will be given a prepaid credit card with all of their personal information on it. This card is simply used on the PVM, just like an automated bank teller.

Patients will be able to receive their prescriptions day or night, even if the dispensary it is located in is closed. The machine is located in a secure, isolated room and a guard will also be on hand 24 hours a day, which answers people's concern about the safety of the machine. Further measures have been taken in the machine's design, as it is armored and locked.

Just what is the purpose of a marijuana vending machine? Convenience is obviously the main concern, but owner Vincent Mehdizadeh also says the machine was designed to offer lower prices and anonymity. It seems that there are still patients who feel marginalized for their use of medical marijuana. Perhaps this simple, isolate machine will allow them to access their medication without any embarrassment or fear.

Since the first PVM was installed in Los Angeles' HNC, two other machines containing marijuana have been installed. Also, a similar machine was recently erected at a domicile on the USC campus. Although the latter machine does not offer marijuana, it does contain other medications, in addition to prophylactics.

Everything seems to be going well for the vending machine program, though it may not last for long. DEA Special Agent Jose Martinez recently told the Associated Press, "Somebody owns (it), it's on a property and somebody fills it. Once we find out where it's at, we'll look into it and see if they're violating laws."

Hopefully, there won't be any legal problems for the owner of the vending machines, as it really does look like it's a successful way to provide medication for those that: a) can't make it to their local dispensary during work hours, b) are in too much pain to stand in long lines or c) are too hesitant to openly pick up their prescription in front of a large crowd.

Breast Cancer and Medical Marijuana

2008-02-10T19:44:00.000Z

Thought this might be of interest to you; one of the top health columnist / bloggers wrote about the new cannabis study suggesting that a particular compound may be effective at taming metastasizing breast cancer cells with low toxicity.

Please read this breast cancer blog post.

Then we would like to hear your thoughts as to whether medical marijuana can be used to fight breast cancer?

Heath Ledger found Dead!

2008-01-24T19:38:00.000Z

Was saddened when I heard Heath Ledger had died from what appears to be a drug overdose. This overdose seems to have been fuelled by insomnia and depression. I am an Australian and Heath Ledger was a brilliant, down to earth Australian celebrity.

It turns out that Heath Ledger had prescription and non prescription drugs in his apartment. Also Naomi Campbell’s former assistant said she saw Heath taking cocaine and ecstasy. Taking hard drugs seems to be pretty normal in the celebrity world.

Insomnia is quite common for people, especially those that have intense jobs, working long hours. Deep sleep is vital, but many drugs can be harmful especially when you are sick. Maybe medical marijuana would have been a better option for Heath Ledger.

If you have problems sleeping, do you think it would be best to take medical marijuana, instead of sleeping tablets?

Herbal Vaporizer Review

2008-01-13T20:46:00.000Z

Herbal vaporizers provide a healthy way for users to inhale marijuana. Vapor is proven to be far less harsh on your throat and lungs, compared to smoking. Hence it is much healthier to use a vaporizer.

There are now hundreds of different vaporizers on the market. Some are brilliant and others just dont work well enough.

What your thoughts on herbal vaporizers, please make specific mention to the different vaporizer models?

Alternative Health - Vaporizer

2007-12-07T17:13:00.000Z

Today I am going to make a post based on an email I received from one of our visitors, in relation to alternative health.

The reason I started this site was mainly to help people. So it would be great if medical marijuana community could help this person in need.

The following is the almost the exact email I received:

My father had a heart attack yesterday. He is only sixty. He has smoked doobies for the past 45 years, and he has also smoked cigarettes, although the latter he has tried quitting numerous times. I'm sure that this time it will stick, since he has really no other choice.

I live in Taiwan (my family lives in Canada), and according to phone conversations with my brother, he says that dad will have to quit smoking all substances altogether. I'm sure that this is a huge disappointment to him, since he usually smokes five or six a day. And my mum has said that she's going to change her lifestyle to accommodate his. This all sounds fine while he's recovering, but once things return to normal, they're going to want to have a smoke after a long day.

So it donned on me yesterday that dad needs a vaporizer. Christmas is coming up, and so i could order and have one at the house by the time I get home.

Do you guys feel that a vaporizer is a safe way of smoking in order to reduce risk after heart disease is already set in. Is the vaporizer an alternative health solution for my dear ol' dad?

Do you think it is positive that more and more states in the USA are legalizing medical marijuana?

Anorexia Pictures

2006-12-03T17:43:00.001Z

Do you think Marijuana could help people with Anorexia?

Marijuana helps increase appetite in people without the illness. But would the illness override the feeling of wanting to eat caused by marijuana.

Also would marijuana relax or alter the mind, making the person more likely to eat? Perhaps you know someone who has anorexia, who has taken medical marijuana to fight the illness.

Vaporizers are a great way for people to take their marijuana. It is much easier to inhale vapor which travels smoothly into the lungs. Bongs and pipes are usually too harsh for medical marijuana patients.

Even recreational marijuana users may find that marijuana smoke is too harsh.
