Former Heart Surgeon: "A Bud a Day will Keep the Stroke Away"

Of course, the doctor says to eat it raw...

Still, I wouldn't mind being a human guinea pig in this experiment...

I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that marijuana has many more positive effects than we realize. I use it to treat my anxiety condition but I've found it to be excellent for a number of other things, even digestive issues.

Indeed. I use it when I'm manic to calm myself (Bipolar type 2 - I get very agitated, aggressive and angry). My psychiatrist swears it is bad for me, yet I've gone from 4 prescription medications to 1, since I started smoking pot again.

Smaller amounts worked wonders with ADD, though too much will just have you on the couch eating Funyuns and watching cartoons just like anyone else.

I also know someone with lupus that says it works better than prednisone and without the horrible side effects.

Helps me for when I can't sleep...

I saw a doctor quoted somewhere as saying it's such a complex molecule in it's effects (THC), that using it to get high is like starting up the engine on an 18 wheeler just to listen to the radio. (No I can't produce the doctor. It may have been in National Geographic or Science News.)

Cut open a bag of Sleepytime tea and throw a bud in. Staple bag shut. Brew strong. Get knocked out. Not that I would know anything about this, I don't smoke.

that would be a waste. THC isnt (read:barely) soluble in water. Which is why eating it raw does not get you high (as the article says).
