So
it would appear the die is cast and that cannabis is set to be reclassified
to a class B drug, bringing with it more arrests, more prison sentences,
and more expense.
In
the meantime, Dutch Police in Amsterdam are complaining about their rights
to use cannabis when off-duty and as if that wasn't enough to prove the
futility of trying to outlaw a substance which is a long way safer than
either alcohol or tobacco, we now have a consultant pediatrician from the
US, claiming marijuana (or cannabis) can be used ON CHILDREN, in the
treatment of ADD or ADHD? So who's telling us lies?

Dr
Claudia Jenson, who is a consultant pediatrician from USC, has come up with
a novel way of treating ADD/ADHD, WITHOUT any of the unwanted side effects
which can result from using popularly prescribed medicines.

Attention
deficit Disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) is
a biological, brain based condition that is characterized by poor attention
and distractibility and/or hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. It is one
of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Symptoms can
continue into adolescence and adulthood.
|
If
left untreated, ADHD can lead to poor school/work performance, poor
social relationships and a general feeling of low self esteem.

The
normal course of treatment for a child diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, is a
course of methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin.
Methylphenidate
(MPH) is a prescription stimulant commonly used to treat
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. It is also one of the
primary drugs used to treat the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy
and chronic fatigue syndrome. The drug is seeing early use to treat
cancer-related fatigue.
As always there is a flip-side to these prescription drugs, and in the
case of Ritalin, substance abusers have found various ways to ingest the
drug recreationally, which gives an effect similar to cocaine or
amphetamine so the use of ritalin is to be closely monitored.
For the child diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, the side effects of using Ritalin,
are many, including psychosis (abnormal thinking or hallucinations),
difficulty sleeping, stomach aches, diarrhea, headaches, lack of hunger
(leading to weight loss) and dry mouth. In some cases, the use of Ritalin
has led to death.
If Ritalin or its side effects, are causing your children problems, ask
your
|
doctor about using marijuana as
an alternative.
Check the video out for what Dr. Claudia Jenson, a
Consultant Pediatrician from USC has to say on the subject.

CannaZine Cannabis News (http://cannazine.co.uk) is taking
its “no-nonsense” approach to drugs into new territories, with the
launch of its brand new website which is based on the new phenomena
which is hitting the United Kingdom and United States hard currently;
namely, prescription drug abuse.
Provigil/Modafinil for ADD/ADHD?
The first of our new series of info-sites looks at Provigil,
AKA Modafinil, AKA Alertec. The wonder “stay awake”
drug made by Pharma giant “Cephalon”, which even the US
Military is buying in by the container load.
It seems ironic; when modafinil/provigil went
through clinical trials, funded by its intial creator Cephalon
Pharmaceutical, it was hailed as a wonder drug.
As is often the case, under our quirky patent laws other
manufacturers were soon allowed to synthesise their own version of the
worlds most popular narcolepsy treatment and Cephalon lost out to the
tune of millions of dollars.
Today, Cephalon are about to bring a new, improved
version of the drug to market. Called Nuvigil, its hoped it will go
some way to replacing the lost revenues from modafinil.
So is it only me that finds it strange that,
modafinil has gone from wonder drug, to possibly addictive substance in
the period just before Cephalon releases Nuvigil?
Find out the facts by
visiting http://www.provigil-rx.info ,
a CannaZine produced website designed to cut through the crap, allowing
you to make an educated and informed choice.
