The British Medical Cannabis Register

Cheers

It is not suitable for everyone but it is great for some.

I think it is given too much dogma.

Many alternative treatments, therapies and supplements are suffering from ever increasing regulatory burdens.

ok. please stick around on the forum if you wish.

it may be against rules to only use it for promotion.

not accusing you but just a word of warning.

check those vids i posted if you get the time.

Edit: are you peter, the guy on the causes page?

Oh no it's not a business! It's information for all, that's something I hope we are all in favour of, particularly where the world suffers from so much ignorance!

I'm not Peter, he's one of the founding members. I'm just trying to get more aspergers registered so that when the 'powers that be' look at the statistics, they might get a move on with the clinical trials for the ASD side of things a bit quicker. GW Pharma, the makers of Sativex, were quite interested in us.

I am ALL for clinical trials. I will invite people who i believe will agree on causes.

Yes, trials will be for safety rather than effectiveness.

I believe it's impossible to reach the gold standard of a double blind placebo controlled trial because it's always possible to tell cannabinoid from placebo so hence the placebo effect cannot be ruled out.

What this means, in effect, is that the best we are ever going to get is to prove that it is safe. Then it's up to the user to decide whether or not it works for him or her.

Other than safety itself, can you summarise what benefits you may suspect from it please?

LOL! That's like making a site saying "sign up here if you're a burglar!"

The pharmaceutical industry is more criminal than any cannabis user or dealer.

Yes, the main one is that when I use cannabis I can 'drop it'.

When not, I tend to be too forceful in my daily dealings with people.

I see it in terms of MTBF, mean time between failures. A failure being a loss of job, home, girlfriend etc. (that's part D of your diagnosis, the important part).

MTBF is increased when using the right dose of the right kind of cannabis. That's the anecdotally produced theory, nothing in the sparse literature available rules it out as a potential palliative medicine for ASD so I'm hoping to persuade all the organisations worldwide who are allowed to research cannabis to put autism on their lists.

Cool. check the videos i posted above if you wish.

If you find any info in them and trace back the original work which went into it, the information may be supportive of your cause.

I really should look into this more.

I formally did not agree with legalisation, socially in the UK I think our attitudes towards drug-use would mean it would cause too many problems (for example look at our attitudes towards alcohol), until I realised that criminal records for possession are more damning to individuals, in turn to society, than the general social issues that cannabis may lead to if legalised. Medically it's a whole different issue, I know too many people who use it for this reason and would be doomed without it, I've been told I should use it for anxiety, OCD and migraines, but wouldn't want to risk legal issues...we need it more readily available for those who need it for medical reasons, it's disgraceful we have to fund criminals in order to get the medical help we require.

I'm told it's the best thing for migraines, just make sure you get some that's got some CBD (cannabidiol) in it, not just high THC, so it doesn't make the anxiety worse or give you all those psychotic side effects where god teaches you all about the sacred eating language of the monkeys or whatever it was Jesus got from his holy anointing oil.

I wouldn't give a f*ck about the law if I were you. The only thing that really matters is how YOU feel day to day and your health and your right to seek relief from pain are key to that!

If you do end up in court, you'll notice that everyone that works in the court is obese and alcoholic. You'll get a fine. They don't lock up white girls for marijuana nowadays!

Agree with you one million percent.

Also, since it is criminal, during my school years smoking lots of it made me and friends more isolated in a way. Since most of us developed serious habbits and that it was not socially accepted, it makes it harder for people who do need help to seek it for fear of being called a junky criminal stoner.

For anxiety, try natural herbs which are available at Boots and possibly Holland and Barrat as well.

Melatonin, St Johns wart and Gaba spring to mind as well.

Diet is a key factor as well. Avoid refined sugary foods, food additives such as Monosodium Glutomate (MSG) which comes under a variety of hidden names, aspartame which is the non-diet replacement for sugar and products with unhealthy fats.

Feel free to ask questions and i can help. Always do your own research as well to later confirm anything too.
