Pot Helps Asthmatics

[Urdedpal]

Use of marijuana as a treatment for asthma attacks has been recorded
in medical literature for thousands of years. In recent decades, lab
studies and case reports have verified that cannabinoids (marijuana's
active components) reduce asthmatic symptoms.

Researcher Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., of The State University of New
York, reviewed the evidence in his 2002 book, "Understanding
Marijuana." His summary: "Cannabinoids may make a nice addition to
current asthma treatments."

I can def. agree with this article. I have asthma and pot smoke never bothers it at all. Infact one time in the winter I was walking to my friends house and the cold gave me an asthma attack. I went to his house smoke a few bowls and completely made me feel better.

What about the pollen and asthma? I know someone who has a real problem with it.

Though you usually don't bother with the "boys", when it's time to play "bee" and finger-fiddle a few blossoms (for seed), his nose gets stopped-up and eyes water like crazy.

Anyone else have a similar reaction?? He likes to kid that he's allergic to the stuff...
