Smoked Cannabis Proven Effective In Treating Neuropathic Pain

ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2007) — Smoked cannabis eased pain induced in healthy volunteers, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Center for Medical Cannabis Research (CMCR.) However, the researchers found that less may be more.

The study used capsaicin, an alkaloid derived from hot chili peppers that is an irritant to the skin, to mimic the type of neuropathic pain experienced by patients with HIV/AIDS, diabetes or shingles -- brief, intense pain following by a longer-lasting secondary pain

So if your chillies are to hot you know what to do

They use very small samples in many US studies.
How do you get your stats. programme around 15 people?

Check this out.
A lot of people get "burned out" from smoking cannabis because it's such a great muscle relaxer.
I've found two amazing remedies to cure this lack of energy.

1. Spicy food. Works wonders. (I say this 'cause you said capsaicin, my love)
2. Dancing. Moving around rhythmically and shaking up my cells sweating off all the negativity. It's like shedding skin.

Opium And Marijuana Research Go Underground

ScienceDaily (Nov. 2, 2007) — The world's leading expert on the opium poppy has joined forces with researchers working on another infamous drug-producing plant -- cannabis -- in hopes of finding new uses for the much-maligned sources of heroin and marijuana.

Very sad

Well there is asong called "COws with Guns" but this is from Left field(actually New Zealand)

Pot-smoking cows could stop BSE, maybe

Article from: NEWS.com.au

A NEW Zealand pro-cannabis groups says it has scientific evidence that cannabis can stop the development of mad cow disease.
. . .
Scientists at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France found cannabidiol - a non-psychoactive ingredient - may prevent the development of prion diseases (progressive neurodegenerative disorders), the most well known of which is BSE, Norml said.

There is all sorts of money in drugs, research, policing, running jails etc?

Peter Facchini, professor of Biological Sciences and Canada Research Chair in Plant Biotechnology, has received a $650,000 NSERC Strategic Project Grant to create new varieties of opium poppy and cannabis that can be used for medicinal and industrial purposes, but will have no value as illicit drugs. And his work is taking him where few Canadians have gone before: Deep underground into the country's ultra high-security medicinal marijuana growth facility.

Search for new uses for heroin and marijuana

Speaking of cows;
I've seen cows eat the psilocybe cubensis mushroom that grows off their dung in the warm humid regions of Florida.
So if the holy cow eats it's own psychedelic mushroom . .
I think blowing some ganja smoke in a cows face would help him out a bit.
Especially with all of those stomachs . . wow. (For all of those who don't know, marijuana is the best cure for stomache discomfort of any kind)
Following along here I think about my mothers poor chihuahua. she rescued her from supposedly a very abusive past. very strange little dog. I forget the story but in a nutshell this dog can only eat this certain kind of food or it will die, basically.
Sometimes in the past when she wouldn't eat her food I would blow a hit or 2 in her face and she would make this cute little sneeze and just meditate like the sphynx.
Then immediately when we went inside she would eat.
Never told my mom about it but I did help the pup.
I know it sounds pretty wacky to blow ganja smoke in your dogs face,
but I'm an animal too and I know how it feels to not be able to eat.
Some of the best medicines I've found on this planet are illegal,
I know. I also know first hand that it works in cases like these. over and out-

Many say that to get mushrooms you need
1. Cows
2. Lightening

[orbsycli]

It's true.
When the temperatures rise and the rain falls the lightening strikes the cow poops the mycilia forms over a period of about a week and the spores get swooshed around the muddy grasslands and when the sun rises in the morning psilocybe cubensis rise over night.
I used to go out and pick these back in the day. I liked roaming with the cows. It blew my mind to actually see one of the cows eat one of the caps.
They're affected by psilocybin too, right? I don't see why not.
Unless all those stomachs break it down or something...?
Our stomachs break down DMT and without an maoi we can ingest a ton of it orally and it wouldn't affect us at all.
Maybe cows have some sort of mechanism like that?
Maybe cows trip too?

Either way, that's fascinating that thc can kill mad cow disease.

That's not true at all. I've seen them growing on grass on the coast of WA state with no cows anywhere in site.

Well yeah depends on the region.
It was true for the psilocybe cubensis in the south.
Dead of winter cold california mountains you can find thousands of strains! everywhere you look there's some different kind of mushroom.
No poop or lightning needed.
