Introducing his study on smoked Cannabis (marijuana) in Pain and Palliative Care”, Donald Abrams, MD, UCSF School of Integrative Medicine, presents methodology to the Fourth Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, Santa Barbara, CA – April, 2006. Dr. Abram’s study was published in Feburary of 2007, as “Cannabis in Painful HIV-associated Sensory Neuropathy”, in the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology: www.neurology.org Conclusion: Smoked cannabis was well tolerated and effectively relieved chronic neuropathic pain from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy. The findings are comparable to oral drugs used for chronic neuropathic pain. Conference hosted by Patients Out of Time MedicalCannabis.com

I wish there was more in depth scientific seminars like this to disprove ignorance about medical cannabis. Great work.
I am a recovered fibromyalgic who left the care of the medical profession to discover the cause and cure for this horrific disease after 15 years of failed treatments. I understand this illness completely from the inside and back out again. Symptoms are often mistaken as a cause and what can help does not cure. Please, do not give up and keep going.
See my You Tube video “Curing Chronic Fibromyalgia – Choosing What Works” and my best wishes to you all!!!
I like what he has to say.
we say we’re a God fearing country and we reject God’s medicine -marijuana. i do not smoke cannabis but its obviously a plant with many uses, and is not gonna cause fifteen side effects and withdrawals!
The reason marijuana’s still illegal is because a bunch of fat old bastards don’t want to admit they were wrong.
God BLess Tha healing herb of the WORLD!!! Legalize It!!!!
I have Neuropathic pain in my left foot and leg from a vehicle accident back in 2006. I’ve been down the traditional rehabilitation and physical therapy, including prescription medicine. I almost died in the car accident, and then almost died from the medication. Cannabis is the only natural treatment for Neuropathic pain.
Seriously though it’s very educational, no nonsense, I give it high ratings *****s
I almost didnt recognize him without his sweaterIts a beautiful day in the neighborhoodNow we know whyI think he dosed his neighbors.
Somehow, I trust what he says.
La uso da anni per la Sclerosi multipla, con successo.
Also I just wanna say that the phrase ‘medical marijuana’ is rather silly. It makes it sound like it’s a different kind of marijuana that’s medicinal unlike the bad kind on the street that we all get high on. All good quality cannabis is medicinal.
Here is the real fact about cannabis that few people including most ‘medical marijuana’ supporters aren’t willing to face: Cannabis is good for you. It’s not just good for people who are sick, it’s good for everyone. If you’re not sick and you take it it serves as a powerful supplement that prevents disease. If you are sick and you take enough of it it cures you.
All these ‘medical marijuana experts’ talk about how cannabis helps with the damage caused by chemotherapy. Yeah that’s cause chemotherapy is poison. Rick Simpson has shown how the digestion of cannabis oil itself can cure cancer more effectively than chemo without any suffering. And a plethora of studies have the research that backs this up, including one from the U.S. government that was suppressed in the 1970′s.
Always liked these herbs. When I see them grow they give me a good vibe. Basil also contains substances from the Salvestrol group. Which are indicated to have an anti cancer property, if Basil is grown ecological.
One has to grow plants with no poison … people’s intuition knows what kind.
Right! It is the total configuration of Cannabinoids that helps the body. I recommend to mix Marijuana vaporising or eating with every day Hemp Seed oil intake. I prosper on it.
INDUSTRIAL HEMP is one of those topics that reach deep and disprove many a popular beleif and sceptisism….
great video!
excellent video
At 1:04 Dr. Abrams mentions “Opioids” may I add …
Probiotic strain Lactobacillus Acidophilus modulates intestinal pain and induces Opioids and Cannabinoid receptors.
CB2 Receptor … Basil & Oregano
Beta-caryophyllene (found in herbs Basil & Oregano) selectively binds to the CB2 Receptor.
