It is a trigger for Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome in some people.

[i]"Patients who use cannabis whether natural or in synthetic form called 'Spice' also don't realize their unexplained episodes of cyclic nausea and vomiting may be a result of this use, with some increasing their cannabis use because they may think it will help alleviate their symptoms -- and it actually makes them worse," said Dr. Crissien-Martinez. "The only resolution is cannabis cessation."

I am betting those who experience this are in the minority, because generally speaking certain cannabinoid drugs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to relieve nausea and vomiting and increase appetite in people with cancer and AIDS

The amount of disinformation being passed around on this subject is nauseating.
The ability to test these theories is simple...try it.
If it makes you sick...don't use it.
If you are ok with it...use it.
People need to start using their own personal cognitive abilities to learn more about how their body really works.

^good one

The sad thing is by keeping it a schedule 1 drug ensures research is difficult. I mean, I listen to my own body and all, but who knows what the real benefits are. Best I can do is continue to fund my own research. Very Happy

Not aimed at you...sorry to have you read it that way.
It was in support of your post.
I included the post you quoted to make that clearer.
Anyway...keep experimenting. Wink

But marijuana causes pigs to gain weight.

Weight itself is not a bad thing if the weight is muscle (not fat).

Lean cuts of meat would sell for more money than fatty cuts of meat. Incidentally, was that real marijuana (with all its compounds) fed to the pigs? I think not. (But it would rule if it really was.)
