Carcinogens and tars are largely left behind in the preparation for eating and are not released into the lungs. Also, ingesting it leads to a markedly different experience from smoking. Eating marijuana-infused preparations usually leads to a longer, stronger, and much more physical high than smoking alone. Although eating is a perfectly viable way of absorbing marijuana into the bloodstream, higher amounts of the drug must be used in a cooking preparation in order to make the product effective.

They had been used for 100 specific medical problems through the use of about 30 prescription medicines. (MOLALLA, Ore.) - When I was ordered before the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners, the first question I was asked by Dr. Spokas, the chairman, from Ontario, Oregon, was "Dr. Leveque don't you know that marijuana is very addicting and very dangerous?" Tue, 22 May 2007 13:12:57 GMT http://buds4life.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=38 Corporate Cannabis Will a new marijuana mist become the Aspirin of the twenty-first century? by Brian Preston Portraits by Kourosh Keshiri Philippe Lucas is apologizing for the quality of his cannabis. He is director of the Vancouver Island Compassion Society, which dispenses medicinal marijuana from behind an old storefront in Victoria. “This used to be a school of Chinese medicine,” he says. “Can you feel the healing vibe?” Not at first. Apart from a comfy, well-worn couch in the waiting area, and a batik with yin-yang dolphins that you brush aside to enter the dispensing office, the place feels like a regular medical clinic. It reflects Lucas’s personality: lean, clean-cut, and intense—there’s nothing of the spacey stoner about him. If there’s a “healing vibe,” it emanates from the staff: the receptionist dressed in a fuzzy old sweater welcomes clients with “Hello, beautiful!” and “Can you use a hug?” Then she hugs. In the dispensing office the cannabis is kept under lock and key. Today’s strains for sale—among them Sweet Tooth, Jack’s Mix, and Other God according to a list handwritten in felt pen on a whiteboard—are grown primarily for recreational use, not medical. As he shows off a sample, Lucas apologizes again, because normally the Society grows and tests for purity the organic pot it supplies to its 400 members. But a recent rcmp bust destroyed their growing facility, forcing them onto the black market. There’s no shortage for patients in need—in BC alone, the rcmp estimates 15,000 grow-ops contribute to a harvest that nationally is worth about $7 billion. The problem is that illegal growers don’t hand out guarantees. Tue, 17 Apr 2007 13:22:46 GMT
