Hello UK420

Due to certain circumstances (I run out of weed before I even started my current grow) I have been "forced" to do 3 months off until my babies are done. Today it's been 2 weeks without a single joint (after 3 years of every day use).
As I woke up and looked in the mirror, I noticed that my tongue has turned into a nice pink color again as opposed to the brown/green that it was for a long time (forcing me to brush my tongue as well, every time I brushed my teeth).

I'm a heavy smoker (tobacco) and now I smoke even more due to the lack of joints, even so my tongue seems to like the current circumstances better than smoking half the cigarettes and 2-3 joints.

As soon as I have weed again, I'll start smoking it with my bong and see if there's any difference, and then I'll buy a vaporizer and check that out too.

I just thought I should share that with you all.

Hi ppz,
Most of you, know my online crohn's diary, or my lack of treatment for my condition at present should I say? I have decided that I am the only person that can help myself, so after 19year's of some pretty awful treatment, I have decided to make it official, I need a solicitor, maybe online as I'm mostly housebound, so can't alway's go out? Does anyone have experience with any firm's dealing in medical negligence cases please? After seeing my GP last, he was totally unconcerned, would not accept any responsibility for my lack of referral's, also made light of the fact that I have lost over 3st since end of April, also my hair is falling out in handfuls, all he could say was, I had not lost that much weight, as there was only ten pound's difference in my weight, since I was weighed in 2007? I left in tear's, as they never appear bothered by anything I say, just stare at their monitor's!!
When at the hospital today, I asked my daughter's Crohn's nurse about myself and lack of referral, she went and saw the consultant straight away, he sent her down to medical record's, to sort out an appointment for me today, so I should be seen soon!! I'm keeping everything crossed... I asked if they had received a referral for me yet? She said yes they had just got one, marked. * URGENT * What I really do not understand is? Why would any Dr make somebody feel so guilty for even daring to go see them with a problem, make light of everything I told him, then mark my referral as
* URGENT * It makes no sense at all.. No wonder, I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes??
Love & Peace to all.

Hi

I am totally new to cannabis and this whole scene. I am disabled and have a number of medical conditions, the worst being gastroparesis which means my stomach is paralysed and doesn't empty properly. I am nauseous on a daily basis and have been like this for 10 months now. The antiemetics hardly help at all and it is destroying my life. Some days I feel to sick to even get up. A number of people have recommended I try cannabis and one wonderful soul even went so far as to bring me some! BUT I don't know what to do with it!!! I know I have at least 3 options - eat it, smoke it, vapourise it. Never having taken it before and wanting to be able to control it's impact on me I am wary about eating it as I may get really stoned which believe it or not is not my intention - I need to be able to get on with my day, I need to not feel sick! Smoking presents another issue - I have never smoked before, have asthma (though not badly) and do not wish to start smoking cigarettes / joints now. So that leaves me with vapourise it.

I looked online and vapourisers are so expensive. I could maybe find the money for one given some time to sort it out, but I don't even know if cannabis can or will help my nausea so I don't want to charge down this route and end up with an expensive vapouriser and no further use for it. PLEASE can anyone advise me? Is anyone is Leicestershire / Nottinghamshire who could let me try their vapouriser? Can I hire one from anywhere? Anyone who would be prepared to hold my hand and literally be my buddy ;-)

The canabis I have is all dried up and my friend said he was warned it was "strong" - how do I know how much to vapourise / put in something to eat. It is easy to say start with a little and see how you go but how much is a little - a teaspoon....more...less?!

Sorry this must sound so naive to all you pros but I guess everyone has to start somewhere! Please, please can you take some time to advise me?

Thank you!!

Hi,

Listening to Radio 4 this morning on my way to work i caught a really small tail end where some professor was concluding. She said they had been studying ME at UoD for a long time, since 97 or something; and that they have found inconsistencies in white blood cells in children suffering from ME.

I can't find a dot about it on Google, other than some reports etc that were published years ago. I was just posting this incase someone else is interested in it. You can dig around more than I, perhaps. Anyway, it was interesting listening to it from a kids perspective.

Hi everyone

I have been diagnosed with having this disease last year. I was wondering if any other members of good ole 420 have it and how you cope with it and does it stop you doing anything that you want to?

For those that are wondering what the hell is scheuermann's disease, its a disease that effects the shape of the vertebrae. Normally the part of the vertebrae that holds the disc is a square shaped but with scheuermanns the vertebrae are a wedged shape. This leaves you with an arch in your back.

I was diagnosed after having a nasty motorbike accident where i fractured the T7 vertebrae. The docs tell me i have had this diseaese since i was a kid but because i have had a good level of fitness and been active it has never caused me to many problems.
