a product, take comfort in the fact

that I have actually used each item
and incorporate it into my daily
health regiment and practice.
Regardless of sponsorship, I never
mention items I don't actually use,
and I can't tell you how many offers I've declined from companies
who are desperate for shameless
social media promotion. I am not
willing to promote products solely
for the act of collecting money- if I
say something about it, it's because
I actually think you should give it
a shot.

Contd from back-page- Comforting Cream

My personal pick for an "Nternal" infused product is a little bit of
wonderfulness in a jar aptly named, "Comfort Cream." This creamy, rich
lotion with a tint of green can be used as a hand and body lotion, but I love it
on my face.
With tell-tale signs of menopause -- pustules and pimples, with large, refilling pores, or sebaceous cysts, added to the mix, my face is showing its
age. Since using "Comfort Cream" daily for more than a month, the pores
have closed up, the hormonal acne is gone, and skin tags are fading. Lastly,
my favorite little pot of goodness, "Granny Greenleaf's 420 Herbal Balm," a
compact little pot of cannabis and herbs to put in your pocket.Technically,
oils, salves and lotions are considered to be "concentrates" in some
jurisdictions. Even though there are no psychoactive effects with topical

use. According to Americans for

Safe Access law enforcement gets
more aggressive where concentrates
are concerned, advising," Label
your oncentrates 'For Personal Use',
and only possess/transport an
amount you will feel comfortable
proving to both a police officer and
a jury is reasonable for your
personal use."
In my mind, it's just a matter of
time before cannabis will be valued.
For me, it's here to stay.

Medical Marijuana and HIV/AIDS

Q: How is medical marijuana used by people with HIV/AIDS?
Medical marijuana is commonly used to relieve nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss sometimes caused by HIV infection
or by medications used to treat HIV. Research has consistently found that these side effects are the leading reason
patients interrupt or discontinue antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Q: Has medical marijuana been studied in HIV/AIDS patients?
Yes. Although foot-dragging by federal authorities delayed needed research for years, two clinical trials have been
completed and more are underway. Other information is available from observational studies. Results thus far have
been consistently positive. A landmark study conducted at San Francisco General Hospital looked at the safety of
medical marijuana use by patients on stable ART regimens and showed no adverse effects on viral load, CD4, or CD8
counts, while the patients using marijuana gained more weight than those receiving a placebo.1 An observational study
published in January 2005 found that patients experiencing ART-related nausea adhered to their drug regimens
more consistently if they used marijuana.2 A study published in the journal Neurology in February 2007 reported that
smoked marijuana "effectively relieved chronic pain from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy," with few side effects.3
Q: I've heard that marijuana may be harmful to the immune system. Is it a danger to people with HIV/AIDS?
Such claims are based on test tube studies, often using enormous doses, rather than onstudies of actual patients. In the
San Francisco General Hospital study described above,patients using medical marijuana not only showed no signs of
immunological damage, they actually gained more CD4 and CD8 cells than those receiving a placebo.
Q: What do leading HIV/AIDS experts say about medical marijuana?
Leading HIV/AIDS organizations overwhelmingly believe seriously ill patients should be allowed to use medical
marijuana without fear of arrest. The American Academy of HIV Medicine has stated, "When appropriately prescribed
and monitored, marijuana/cannabis can provide immeasurable benefits for the health and well-being of our patients."4
Other supportive organizations include AIDS Action, Gay Men's Health Crisis, National
Association of People With AIDS, AIDS Project Los Angeles, AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Test Positive, Aware
Network, AIDS Project Rhode Island, the New York State AIDS Advisory Council, Project Inform, San Francisco
AIDS Foundation, and many others.
Q: Do other medical and public health experts agree? Yes. In a 1999 report commissioned by the White House, the
National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine wrote, "Nausea, appetite loss, pain, and anxiety are all
afflictions of wasting and all can be mitigated by marijuana."5 The American Public Health Association, American
Nurses Association, and the state medical societies of New York, California, and Rhode Island are just a few of many
medical organizations supporting legal access to medical marijuana. Prominent individuals supporting medical
marijuana access include former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, San Francisco Director of Health Dr. Mitch
Katz, and Dr. Kenneth Mayer, director of Brown University's AIDS program.
Q: What is the legal status of medical marijuana?
Sixteen states Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada,
New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Rhode Island and Washington, D.C. permit the
medical use of marijuana if certain legal requirements are followed. Unfortunately, federal law still classifies marijuana
as having no medical use and as being too dangerous to use even under medical supervision. This is unscientific and
harmful to people with HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses.
Q: What is being done to change the laws?
The Marijuana Policy Project works at both the state and federal levels to enact marijuana laws based on science,
compassion, and common sense. Sign up for MPP's free email alerts to learn about legislation that affects you.
