Marijuana Seeds

He compared smoking a single 2 percent THC cigarette versus a placebo cigarette of the same smell and taste and concluded that the IOP was reduced by 4 mm Hg at 30 minutes and by 6 mm Hg at 90 minutes (in patients with either open-angle or synechial angle-closure glaucoma big bud feminized), returning to baseline by 4 hours with THC, while there was no change with the placebo, but that the pulse rose from 82 beats per minute (bpm) to 123 bpm at 15 minutes, and the systolic BP fell 11 mm Hg and diastolic BP fell 5 mm Hg, suggesting that reduced perfusion of the ciliary body accounted for the reduction in IOP and that the adverse systemic effects, including postural hypotension, would limit the potential usefulness of marijuana.

The spasticity and nocturnal spasms produced by MS and partial spinal cord injury have been reported to be relieved by smoked marijuana and to some extent by oral THC in numerous anecdotal reports. The effect seems to appear rapidly with smoked marijuana; patients are able to titrate the dose by the amount they smoke cannabis seeds. No large-scale controlled studies or studies to compare either smoked or oral THC with other available therapies have been reported. Several relatively good therapeutic alternatives exist. There is no published evidence that the cannabinoid drugs are superior or even equivalent.

There is a need for further research, particularly in circumstances where long-term administration of marijuana might be considered for therapeutic purposes; for example feminized cannabis seeds, in individuals who are HIV-positive or who have tumors, malignancies, or diseases where immune system function may be important in the genesis of the disease. Clinical studies with smoked marijuana in patients with compromised immune systems may offer a sensitive index of adverse immune system effects associated with cannabinoid exposure.
