[QUOTE="LittleWolf, post: 390776, member: 66893"] I can't believe I just lost a very long and detailed post with lots of citations Anyway in short it is believed a factor in the development of T2 is the breakdown of the endocannabinoid system (the system of cannabinoids and receptors for them made by the human body- the compounds in cannabis are essentially identical) If I find the right study again I'll come back and edit this post. I support the use of medical cannabis but it doesn't mean go smoking anything, all day willy-nilly Also can I stress that cannabis sativa, indica and ruderalis are all involved in the development of the plethora of strains out there created by individual breeders and they all have differing proportions of active 'ingredients', the main ones being THC, CBD and CBN. STRONGER DOES NOT MEAN BETTER even if it might be more 'fun'. Clinical trials found pain relief was just as prevalent in test group given lower doses of THC as higher doses, and it is the unusually high level of THC in 'skunk' varieties that is thought to trigger psychotic episodes in those with a predisposition to them. HOWEVER, the component CBD or cannabidiol is an ANTI-psychotic [url=http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/06/07/marijuana-compound-may-beat-antipsychotics-at-treating-schizophrenia/39803.html]http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/06/07 ... 39803.html[/url] Can you see the impact choices of strains with differing levels of these compounds has? Completely opposite ends of the spectrum with the effects. This is why I prefer indica-dominant hybrids which offer pain relief but have lessened my anxiety and actually stopped the visual and auditory hallucinations I'd had since I was 14. Pleasepleaseplease be careful and know exactly what it is you are smoking and how it could effect you as an individual. Personally I'd love it if we had a dispensary in this country where staff could help you make informed choices that are best for you health, not just the strain you will get the most kick out of. Pure sativas are fun, but will not help much in the long run, and I'm saying that as someone who loves the ganja.
