Sharing cannabis for health and wellness – patients no more
Posted In: Health & Wellbeing
The repression of cannabis and cannabis related medications has left patients to medicate themselves, and with time, to look after one another. The interesting thing is that the very fragmentation to the development of medicines has opened possibilities for experimentation with different strains and mixes, so that medicines can be measured and prepared to the individual needs of each patient. A development that runs counter to the very notion of uniformity of disease condition or cause and the human body employed in the manufacture of industrial pharmaceutical medicines. People with similar condition or illnesses often share information on what has worked for them and how make those preparations, a process by-passing medical professionals and centred entirely on the no longer patient.
