Just wanted to pass some info along to the SD growers. Many of you know that my son is dying from ALS(Lou Gehrigs Disease). I have done a shitload of research about the disease on the internet(only understanding a little as doctors talk really funny). I have had the opinion for some time that CBD was as important or more important than THC, but never had any real confirmation.
Recently, I have been exchanging e-mails with a Professor of Rehabilitative Medicine at Univ. of Washington Medical School who is a specialist in ALS. He told me about experiments with mice and cannabis and ALS. It seems that THC keeps you from contracting the disease for as long as 6 years in human terms and CBd keeps you alive 3 years longer once you get it. that may not seem like much, but 50% of ALS patients usually die in the first 2 years and 70% by 5 years.
I also have an on-line friend in Israel who is an organic chemist(specialty is organoleptics) who worked in Dr. Raphael Mechoulam's lab for 3 years. Dr. Mechoulam is the guy who discovered THC. Mechoulam told him Sunday that drug strains containing only THC were not as important as once thought and that cannameds should contain both THC and CBD. Both are neuro-protective and anti-oxidants, which help to protect the body.
This info will not help "stoners" but will help med users. The pot we get from "med clubs" is only partly effective, just for those conditions that respond just to THC. May not be of interest to many of you, but thought I would pass it along. THC helps with pain, is a neuro-protecter, anti-oxidant,antiemetic(good for nausea) and kills certain types of cancer cells. CBD is an anti-oxidant, antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety, anti-convulsant,immunomodulatory and relaxes the long muscles of the body. It also keeps cancer tumors from growing.
Great information, POps, thanks, I know a few patients that I will forward this info. onto. Hope your son beats all the odds...keep him happy! Have you tried OG Kush, I know it's high in THC and CBD from what I'm told, I know it is very potent for me.
