Now we just need a list of strains for each disorder. Peace GS

[limegreensuit]

Yes! GS! List of strains indeed!
I believe there is a list somewhere... I've seen it! I can't find a list, but definitely something to work on and improve on.

although, cannabis is subjective like anything else. I know of friends with similar problems as myself, such as spasms, and they do not benefit from the same strains.

Does Cannabis help with Marijuana Addiction/Withdrawal?
If Yes, How?

[spaceman]

hows that work?

[spaceman]

As far as i can tell cannabis has no withdrawal effect certainly not physical, maybe mental.. but those are different issues...

[outdoordreams]

So Marijuana withdrawal and addiction is the ninth condition from the top of the list.

It is listed with a 32 cumulative knowlege and 5 article count.

It is odd to think conditions like Hepatitis, Leukemia only have a cumulative knowlege of 1 and an article count of 1.

[spaceman]

I see as far as i can spit and maybe they are talking about the balancing effects of the plants, like the thc gets you high and cbd cbn, are anti psychoactive, or balance the thc.

Cannabidiol has antipsychotic properties which balance out the psychotomimetic effects of THC in cannabis. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/cannabidiol-has-antipsychotic-properties-which-balance-out-psychotomimetic-effects-thc-canna)

Cannabidiol levels in different strains of cannabis may determine the degree to which THC interferes with memory in users. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/cannabidiol-levels-different-strains-cannabis-may-determine-degree-which-thc-interferes-memo)

Lithium may have clinical utility in the management of cannabis withdrawal. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/lithium-may-have-clinical-utility-management-cannabis-withdrawal)

Passionflower contains a compound which attenuates withdrawal effects in THC-dependent mice. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/passionflower-contains-compound-which-attenuates-withdrawal-effects-thc-dependent-mice)

The dietary polyphenols trans-resveratrol and curcumin interact with cannabinoid receptors indicating their potential role in treating obesity and/or drug dependence (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/dietary-polyphenols-trans-resveratrol-and-curcumin-interact-cannabinoid-receptors-indicating).

The ratio of cannabidiol and THC in cannabis varieties may largely determine its addictive potential or properties. (http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/ratio-cannabidiol-and-thc-cannabis-varieties-may-largely-determine-its-addictive-potential-o).

here's a site that seems to have a more comprehensive list of studies:

Cannabis reduces symptoms in a patient with severe post-traumatic stress disorder

Symptoms of severe post-traumatic stress disorder in a young man were significantly improved following self-treatment with cannabis, according to a case report from the Department of Psychiatry of Hannover Medical School, Germany. From about the age of four, the patient was a victim of long-time sadistic sexual abuse by his father and paternal uncle, which continued until age 15 when he attempted to commit suicide for the second time.

The authors of the report first saw the patient several years later when he was admitted to the psychiatric department for safety and stabilization during a crisis with severe, uncontrolled flashbacks, panic attacks, and impulses for self-mutilation. These had resulted in severe self-injury in the past (mainly lacerations from cutting with knives). After a few days of treatment and stabilization he was referred back to the inpatient psychotherapy treatment centre. In the following weeks his condition improved dramatically. When he was asked what his idea was about the improvement of his condition, he confessed that he had learned to smoke cannabis resin from some other inpatients. He had discovered that he could prevent dissociative states by smoking cannabis when he first felt reactivation and intensification of traumatic memories experienced as flashbacks. Although he still experienced flashback phenomena after the use of cannabis, it alters their course and intensity. Authors conducted a review on the issue and concluded: “Evidence is increasingly accumulating that cannabinoids might play a role in fear extinction and antidepressive effects.”

Vets Association in the States now allow Vets to medicate with cannabis in their offices. Saw a thing in the news about it a few weeks ago. Peace GS
