Allotments 4 All

 I just found out that I can get a license to get pot legally due to a medical condition,.mmm, not sure what I think about that.

Should I take it,,might make ,me loopy( should have said more loopy I guess)

Might improve my spelling.

What a hoot, or should that be toot.

Maybe we can have a pot party on line.

Anyone got any good recipes for brownies

Can't stop laughing and I have only thought about it so far !!

I have this picture of a  Granny overcome with pot.

?? Never heard of a pot licence before!

If you arent already a hardened imbiber I'd recommend starting with very small amounts. Smoking it is very harsh on the lungs (friend developed emphysema in her 30s from dope smoking) and if you eat too much things can go pear-shaped when you least expect it. My first teenage dope-eating experience inadvertently involved a driving lesson......not good.

Dont touch the stuff myself as it doesnt agree with me, but have met many who swear by its painkilling properties. Crushing it up in hot chocolate seems a popular method!

Any recipe using animal or vegetable oils or fats can be adapted. The basic principal in cooking with cannabis is to extract the THC into a fat, the fat is then used in whatever you are making.
This site explains it in more detail:

Just remembered Nigel Slater's lovely brownie recipe

http://www.nibblous.com/recipe/816

Havent tried it with any 'extras' but I'm sure it could be adapted!

I presume that since you are in Canada the rules are somewhat different tot UK.

Reminds me of the Bunny cakes  in Mid Somer Murders.   I thought it was one of the funiest episodes.

Try it before you go to sleep.

Make it into a tea or add a little to a cake or cookie recipe if you are a non smoker.

i used to use the shake in the bottle muffin mix from supermarkets for my space cakes, just add milk and pot shake and bake.
once got so wasted i ate a bowl of pot pourri thinking they were nibbles and had the best multi colured sick ever, but it didnt smell so nice :-[

Gosh, all these recipes, you have surprised me!!

It is legal in BC for some types of illness, all that is needed is a DR's letter. Some growers are licensed so they can operate legally.


I was surprised to hear about it, I found out first because I could smell it coming from a balcony below me, I mentioned it to a relative who is in the board here to find out that the person in question has a medical license. I then found out that one of my health problems is on the list for getting it legally.

I  doubt if I will take it as I am already on so much meds it is unreal but I thought it was worth sharing the info

However I would be interested in hearing from anyone  via a PM who has tried it for pain.

I was wondering what sort of pot---atoes you were after ;D ;D ;D.

:D :D :D Blimey that is a serious case of the munchies!

Re taking it for pain at a guess I would imagine it relaxes you so you can deal with pain better rather than relieve pain. Sort of like the gas and air you have in childbirth, doesn't remove the pain at all but makes you more relaxed/sort of tipsy so you don't mind so much. This is just a guess, never tried it but I'm sure someone more knowledgebale than I will be along!

Actually sometimes when its used in labour it makes the pains worse, not better.  ;)

The use of pot in the uk is legal for pain too but you have to keep a card on you saying that you are 'allowed' it.
I have a friend that has a very bad bycyle accident that crushed her spine and she's allowed to use it

The use of Cannabis for pain relief in the UK does not have legal backing - there is no legal medical defense and there are many people in jail for possession of medical weed.  For example three members of the group THC4MS were all busted and given 9 month sentances.

There are certain medical cannabinoids that are permittted although strictly controlled - http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld199798/ldselect/ldsctech/151/15106.htm

Really interesting article.
By all means investigate its medical properties.

'6i.
Contra-Indications --- Marijuana has been a complicating factor in the emergency treatment of diabetes. In one case, ingestion of marijuana was followed by severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Another patient developed diabetes mellitus following the ingestion of marijuana over a 3-day period. Plasma glucose and insulin levels increase after marijuana use. THC has been shown to impair glucose tolerance in rats, to inhibit the action of exogenous insulin, and to antagonize the release of endogenous insulin. CBD antagonizes the action of insulin. (174, 175)

The administration of cannabis smoke to dogs receiving penicillin-G reportedly caused coarse tremors and eleptiform episodes in 90% of chronically-dosed dogs. Humans are advised to avoid this combination.

In summary, marijuana should not be used by children or pubescent youths, pregnant or nursing women, people with chronic heart, lung, or liver disease or who are diabetic, epileptic, or psychotic. Nor should anyone operate motor vehicles or other dangerous machinery while under the influence of cannabis. '

But dont just legalise it.

Seen to much crap happen when people start taking this stuff...........leave well alone is my thought. :)

I agree with Betula, leave well alone.

If you are still having pain Jeannine, speak to your GP or Consultant about it.
