Anyone who has to rely on MMJ knows that these forums are more then worthless for any real medical information.

Does anyone know of any active informative forums dealing with the medicinal use of marijuana?

Yes, but I don't understand. :-|
What do you mean that it's useless here?
There is post upon post here on RIU of useful information on MMj.
And someone is always sharing new findings.
What more can one want?

I'm looking for a forum with many MMJ users. The reason these MMJ forums are not that great is because of the low forum activity. I'm just looking for an ACTIVE mmj forum, or possibly just some good MMJ medical journals.

What im looking for is 'real' information. By real, I mean something that is in some way pertaining to medical professionals and or health care.

MMJ has thousands of uses, but for some reason all the message boards are flooded with "HOw DO iget MYY MED CARD!? I HuRT my TOOTH! (but it doesnt really hurt)"

Is this information just not out there? Are there not any doctors that have kept records about which strain works for what condition? No scientists interested in the effects of individual compounds on specific cannabiniod recepters?

If the endocannabinoid system is THE MOST RESEARCHED by over 90% of all pharmaceutical companies, and if its legal medicinal use is growing how come I cant find any usefull information outside of "Blueberry work great fer pain" which simply doesnt help me.

Just so you know, I have read hundreds of scientific papers on the endocannabinoid system, and the ones i've found are almost all bullcrap with highly generalized worthless information.

This is nothing more then a plea for help. I have to be my own doctor, and I cant find good information on the last drug i've got left to try.



PS. My conditions are commonly knows as IBS, Chronic Fatigue Immune Difficiency Syndrome , Fibromyalgia, and Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

I suffer from extreme pain that makes it impossible to sit or stand for any prolonged period of time, along with a grocery list of other symptoms.





Although now that im typing it out, this might all have something to do with the fact that i live in the midwest and am to disabled to grow my own medicine, let alone move to where its legal.

The best I could come up with is a link i found with i went into the yahoo search engine and type "Medical Marijuana Forum"

http://thc-foundation.com/forums/

If you find any good information on your search then please start a post on here so i can check it out to. There are several states that have proposed bills to legalize medical marijuana in the midwest ... missouri, illinois..and a few others

Fuck you for preying on the sick. You piece of shit.




Sorry to all the users for this anger. I am very desperate for pain relief, in very much debt because of my medical status (Cant get health insurance because of preexisting conditions and have not been able to work at all for 1 and a half years).

The fact that my best chance for relief is probably a cop trying to literally kill me by putting me in jail is infuriating.

Yah, its totally cool dude. I seen that and replied to it stating... "this smells like bullshit to me.. i would never order marijuana from a stranger on the internet"

I then reported it and within a few mintues the deleted my response (because i quoted this person) and they delted his initial statement

THANKS RIU FOR THE AWESOME WORK :)

Weedtrackers looks great. I do not live in a MMJ friendly state, do I have to lie about it to register on the forums? Or would that put me into some sort of patient database?

I'm just looking for information ABOUT pot, not where to get it.

Not so sure you have to be from a specific state to register on Weedtracker or not, mostly it is a forum for finding CA dispensaries, but I think there are a few others on there. While the bulk of it is for finding med's there is a lot of activity from activists and a lot of interesting 'news' and 'political opinions' can be found there.

What it sounds like, you are having a hard time finding what you are looking for, due to prohibition and the lack of true dialog on the subject from the medical community. It is still a fringe medicine, however it is getting some more positive attention from the medical community since the popularity of MMJ laws in more states are allowing more doctors the ability to consider it and therefor more doctors are wanting information on it. So I am sure that over time you will start finding better and better sites that would help you, but for now some of the best resources are:

"ASA - Americans for Safe Access" "MPP - Marijuana Policy Project" "NORML - National Org for the Reform of Marijuana Laws"

http://www.norml.org/

http://www.canorml.org/

http://www.safeaccessnow.org/section.php?id=266

http://www.mpp.org/


While these org's are biased in that they all do obviously have a bigger stake in the positive info and research you can typically use those sites as starting points to find the research that IS out there and once in a while you can stumble apon some good alternative resources through their links that can be used.

Hope this helps... I hope you can find relief
