Cannabis Digest
By Gary Fergusson, March 9, 2007 (reprinted in digest)
The Pacific Aids Network (PAN) fully supports the continuation of the Medical Marijuana Access Division (MMAD) of Health Canada and the Medical Marijuana Access Regulations (MMAR) that governs it. in perpetuity. The beneficial effects of cannabis are varied and numerous, they are as much about human genetics as plant genetics in the medical realm. There can be little, if any doubt of the beneficial effects on such illnesses as HIV/AIDS, MS, MD, cancer, various types of seizures, and brain injuries bi-polar & and other mental disorders. This statement is braved in concert with powerful recent research and the existence of the (MMAD) since 1999!
What must be recognized is that the over 1100 various strains are target specific with a million strains farmed over a millennia from around the world, namely, one strain is not effective for all medical aliments and treatment side effects alike. It must be noted side effects are minimal or non-existent, moreover there has never been a reported death directly related to the ingestion of cannabis. As mentioned above human genetics and plant genetics are believed by scientists, herbalists, and medical cannabis users alike to have individual traits in relation to the medical implementation of cannabis for specific aliments or side effects.
Given the above statements, it is a fallacy to conclude that the one strain of government grown cannabis brand produced is the best for all will truly encompass the full spectrum of medical aliments this Government grown cannabis was produced to address.
Furthermore, the delivery of cannabis by smoking is now less common than it once was. Pharmaceutically produced synthetics such as Marinol and Nabolone along with most all such produced drugs come with their long list of potential side effects. Well-grown, properly produced organic cannabis though not tested is viewed by many as not being such a substance. Moreover, it is only Government grown cannabis that comes with a warning. Indeed with good reason for it is gamma radiated and grown in a mine in which no real testing into the effeteness of this product after being radiated has been enacted. No lawsuits have ever been brought against a compassion club for serving a dangerous product. Given this historic reason no warning is necessary when cannabis is cultivated, cured, and stored correctly. This is the same as potatoes no warning is necessary unless a crop duster has accidentally poisoned the field in which case the crop is destroyed!
Naturally produced cannabis used in a holistic/naturopathic form is invaluable in assisting many, many persons we assist. Your consideration of this matter would be greatly appreciated.
