Love this video for its narration, so calm and professional.

 

I've been told this isn't the best method, but what the f*ck do I know. North America is hurting for hash compared to Europe.

Inhaled Cannabis Reduces Central And Peripheral Neuropathic Pain, Study Says

May 8, 2008 - Davis, CA, USA

 

Davis, CA: Cannabis significantly reduces neuropathic pain compared to placebo and is well tolerated by patients with chronic pain conditions, according to clinical trial data to be published in The Journal of Pain.

 

Investigators at the University of California at Davis, in conjunction with the University of California Center for Medical Cannabis Research (CMCR), assessed the efficacy of inhaled cannabis on pain intensity among 38 patients with central and/or peripheral neuropathic pain in a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial.

 

Researchers reported that smoking low-grade (3.5 percent THC) and mid-grade (7 percent THC) equally reduced patients’ perception of spontaneous pain.

 

“[A] significant … reduction in [a 100-point visual analog scale of] pain intensity per minute was noted from both 3.5 percent and 7 percent cannabis compared to placebo,” authors wrote. “Separate appraisals using the patient global score and multidimensional [eleven-point neuropathic pain scale also] revealed that both active agents alleviated pain compared with placebo.”

 

Investigators added: “[N]o participant withdrew because of tolerability issues. Subjects receiving active agent endorsed a ‘good drug effect’ more than a ‘bad drug effect.’”

 

They concluded: “In the present experiment, cannabis reduced pain intensity and unpleasantness equally. Thus, as with opioids, cannabis does not rely on a relaxing or tranquilizing effect, but rather reduces both the core component of nociception (nerve pain) and the emotional aspect of the pain experience to an equal degree.”

 

The study is the second clinical trial conducted by CMCR investigators to conclude that inhaled cannabis significantly reduces chronic neuropathy, a condition that is typically unresponsive to both opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.

 

Commenting on the study’s the findings, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: “With the results of each published study it becomes increasingly apparent why the US government has tried consistently to stonewall clinical research on the therapeutic effects of inhaled cannabis. Each new trial the Feds approve provides additional evidence undermining the government’s ‘flat Earth’ position that cannabis is without medical value.”

Full text of the study, “A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of cannabis cigarettes in neuropathic pain,” will appear in the Journal of Pain.

We need more studies like this. Hopefully it will help more people understand that this plant can very well be used for medicinal purposes.

I don't smoke the pipe resin but apparently if you get enough you can extract out the good stuff and leave beind the tar.

Seems a guy did it on that forum using isopropyl and a 120 micron filter to get good results. It would probably take a sh*tload of resin before the extraction was worthwile though.

[Jonesizzle]

I've smoked a rezin blunt. I was f*cking blazed, good sh*t. Now, if you smoke rezin and it sucks you need to get some better bud.

[*MURDOC*]

Why not get the bud and not smoke the rez?

[Digïtál £vîl]

Not true man. It is most likely the opposite. We smoke bud that is so good, that the thought of smoking resin just disgusts us. I'm not saying it won't get you high. I just don't like the thought or smoking burnt residue and residual THC left over in my bowl from previous smoke outs. High quality bud is a norm here in California. And I know most people here don't smoke resin actively. There is a reason fresh hash is a yellow to light green color and resin is bootshine black.

 

 

As it is. I clean my pieces about once a week because I use them so much.

[Jonesizzle]

I had no bud, so I cleaned the pipe and got a mini-blunt out of it. Good sh*t. It is not a regular thing for me to smoke rezin, I smoke it if the pipe or bong needs to be cleaned.

[*MURDOC*]

Also, half the sh*t thats burning when you smoke the rez is just particles of dust and random floating sh*t, especially if you have pets and/or are to lazy to clean, like me.

 

Ive actually seen peoples bongs that a bug or 2 crawled into, got stuck in the rez and died.

 

Probably a somewhat fun way to go, I mean, its tiny, it had to be high as sh*t.

 

But yeah, I try to avoid that sh*t.

What significance does the number 420 have to do with marijuana smoking? I can see it's very important for you stoners, plus when I watched that episode of 'Price is Right', he kept on saying 420.

[beavis]

 

Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term, one central root of the phrase stems from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971; the teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue.[2][3][4] The group was known as "The Waldos" because they would sit on a wall[4] and became popularized in the late 1980s by fans of The Grateful Dead.[5] An older origin for the term may have been from "In the Walls of Eryx" by H.P. Lovecraft, where the main character has been influenced by a "mirage-plant", loses his perception of time, then looks at his watch to see that it "was only 4:20." Many North American cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[6][7][8] In some locations this celebration coincides with Earth Week.[9][10][11]

420 is the number for mirijuana busts for the police, just like 187 is the number for a gang marked murder

I'am very sorry, buy you'll have to jump off the ship now, you are wrong.

 

Known Myths

 

* Police dispatch code for smoking pot is 420. The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands.

 

* There are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used.

 

* April 20th is National Pot Smokers Day. Well, it is now; but that wasn't the origin.

 

*April 20th is Hitler's birthday. Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it.

 

* April 20th is the date of the Columbine school shootings. This happened after the term was already in use.

 

* 4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland. Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea.

Alright, thanks beavis and dawg. Hitler's birthday.

Why don't you stop already. Stop saying things that are obviously false. If 420 is the code for police busts, it is coincidence and has nothing to do with marijuana. As it stands, that is a complete lie:

The Origin Revealed

 

According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers.

 

A quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option.

Every time I see you post in here dawg, it annoys me.

I never looked into the orgin, I just know I smoke every 420.

[Stefan.]

OK then, thanks guys. Also, lay of dawg; I think that's what he was trying to say, that it's a dispatch code. No need to go all lone ranger on him.

It is false though. Completely.

 

I don't like it when someone who doesn't smoke weed and who (in the past) openly put people down for smoking it tries to tell people about definitions and history of things related to weed. They obviously don't know it. So they shouldn't even attempt at posting about it. Period.

[Stefan.]

A'ight, fair enough, I suppose. But still, I think this example is just a misunderstanding though. Just, leave him alone.

I hate Kobe. He is the reason I am one of like 2 people in LA who don't watch the Lakers.

 

As it is, since they have gone to the playoffs or whatever, everyone down here have dug up their Lakers gear and jumped on the bandwagon. You know it is a bandwagon team when you start seeing car dealerships offering "Free Lakers Flags" with every car purchase.

I wonder how many people decided to sign the dotted line and go through the purchase just for the flags...

 

For now on, LA should be referred to Los Ganjales ....

No free laker flags last year?

 

Does Cali really have that good bud? I have so many stories, I wish somebody would go to Cali for me and bring me a nice sack from over there. Is it true Beavis? Good sh*t?

[Digïtál £vîl]

Lets just say that High Times, the people who are most widely known as some of the top experts on quality marijuana, dedicated an entire issue to the Golden State (California) stating that it was - and I quote - "Home of the World's Best Pot".

[beavis]

You can ask me and a dozen other stoners here in the OFS.

 

Californian growers treat bud like we treat wine. We are enthusiastic about growing and the techniques around it. We are also blessed with a great geographical position that lets us grow amazing pot outdoors. High Times had an article and an actual issue dedicated to California pot.

 

As DE stated a couple pages back, California supplies something like 30 something percent of the Pot smoke in the U.S.

[Jonesizzle]

f*ck. I really don't want to go to California, but with all this talk I just might have to go snub me a sack from somebody down there. I live in Oklahoma and I've smoked some good sh*t grown here, but I have had a friend who said Cali had the best weed he smoked in years. I really need to visit one day.

[beavis]

Just for the record, California isn't the only place that grows great weed...

 

Take for example the 3rd world country of Afghanistan fellas!
