Will the doctor accept that as a reason for a med card?

Just looks like more insufficient research to me. "There’s a little evidence that marijuana could have anti-inflammatory effects, but otherwise there’s not enough research to know how cannabis and cannabinoids affect the immune system or those who are immune-compromised." Well that's kind of important to know, what the effect on the immune system is, considering that if it gets compromised you pretty much have the equivalent of AIDS, though obviously less severe. Suppose they legalize it and then later find out it's an immunosuppressant? They have created a public health nightmare just to get some tax money and just because some commoners voted for it. Hey commoners, what's your vote on free beer? Commoners are so intelligent. Where is the Electoral College? Why are commoners actually voting on important issues? Snoop Dogg can vote in California. Is that who you want deciding on public health issues? LA is full of Snoop Doggs.

Stop with your bullshit.

One little study about immune suppression and you been harping on it.

Many, many more studies say that cannabis cures.

You keep complaining about your damn tooth. Brush your teeth. Rinse with peroxide, go to a dentist and get them damn thing fixed.

Quit attributing it to cannabis.

It may be just the action of sucking causing problems. Seriously.

I didn't mention anything about a tooth. Clearly a deranged person.

Was it not you that mentioned immune suppression and you abscess flaring up because of pot in another thread?

No, completely different guy. However, several studies do implicate THC as an immunosuppressant, easy to Google. Not the other cannabinoids, just THC, which is a semi-synthetic product produced by heating a natural product to a temperature not normally encountered by the plant in nature.

Still flares up when I smoke weed for several days. Too bad it's impossible to resist for very long. Seems to be improving though. Getting less puss than before. But you shouldn't knock the acetone black hash though. It's primo. Only me and Afghani people can get it.

I noticed that when I smoked mj daily for a few weeks I would get a tooth abscess on a particular upper front tooth. The first few times wasn't that bad, just soreness, but recently it got worse. My entire upper lip area swelled up and right now it also moved up to one eye, making the area below it swell up like I got punched, but without the bruising. These infections happened exclusively when I had used mj steadily, as I said. I now have to actually stop using it before it kills me. So I searched "cannabis immune suppression" and found the following.


So it's not quite as benign as many believe. The page says that the immune suppression may be beneficial in certain conditions in which the immune system is overactive and attacking the body itself, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and hepatitis. Otherwise, probably not a great idea to use it, at least not daily.

BTW, I suggest that people interested in curing cancer rather than causing or promoting it do some research on the polyphenols in Rosemary, specifically Carnosic acid, carnosol and rosmanol. These compounds have similarities to Cannabinoids, appearing to have similar functions in the plants, mostly antioxidant and UV protection. More is produced in response to UV like with Cannabis. Anyway, point being, Rosemary may be the real miracle herb. Oddly, you never hear it mentioned whereas you hear about medical Cannabis all the time. An added benefit is that it's completely legal, doesn't cause intoxication and is very common.

It's not just smoked cannabis that suppresses the immune system. Doesn't matter what method of administration. They injected the mice. Just that you also get more lung infections from smoking. I involves the nitrates as I recall.

About my tooth, I don't have a few grand laying around for the root canal and crown. Guess if I die I die.
