Alpha Brain Waves - A Complete Guide To Understanding | 4 Mind 4 Life: Mental Health Tips. What are alpha brain waves? Alpha brain waves are considered relaxed brainwave activity. Alpha brainwaves are brainwaves that cycle within the range of 8 – 12 Hz and are usually generated in the brains right hemisphere or in a synchronized pattern between both right and left hemispheres. Alpha waves kick in when our mind and body are completely relaxed and free of stress. Alpha is generally thought of as the normal brainwave that is dominant in people who are relaxed, creative, and have a clear mind. Most children and younger teenagers have a dominant alpha rhythm.

Extroverts - Compared to introverts, extroverts have much more alpha brainwave activity. Just like any of the other brainwave patterns, too much of a dominant rhythm can cause problems.

Problems associated with too many alpha brainwaves: Charges dismissed against medical-marijuana doctor. By John IngoldThe Denver Post Posted: 12/13/2011 01:03:05 PM MST|Updated: 2 years ago A judge has dismissed the criminal case against a doctor charged with felony drug distribution after undercover police officers alleged he wrote them shoddy medical-marijuana recommendations. Arapahoe County District Court Judge Carlos Samour tossed the case against Dr. Manuel Aquino-Villaman following a hearing on Friday. Samour said Aquino-Villaman's actions were lawful under the Colorado constitution and also protected by the First Amendment, according to a court summary of the hearing. He also said the charges should be dropped because prosecutors failed to preserve evidence. Aquino-Villaman had been charged with felony conspiracy to distribute marijuana, in addition to forgery and attempt to influence a public servant.

This is the second time that a marijuana-recommending doctor charged in Arapahoe County after an undercover police sting has won a rare dismissal of his case before trial.

​Joe Byron and Joe Grumbine, who operated a pair of Long Beach cannabis clubs as well as Garden Grove's Unit D collective until they were raided and arrested along with all of their employees two years ago this month, were found guilty by a jury today of selling marijuana, tax evasion, and electricity theft. The verdict is sure to have wide ramifications throughout California, as it suggests that police and prosecutors can hand-pick cases against cannabis collectives, and assuming a judge allows them to keep juries from hearing the entirety of state law allowing the medicinal use of marijuana, they can win convictions.

(PUFF, PUFF, RATE & SHARE) Study: Why Teen Pot Smoking Could be a Good Thing (And What We Can Learn From Teens Who Choose Weed Over Beer) The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) released the results of its 2011 Monitoring the Future Survey of teen drug use, and guess what: Teens are using cigarettes and alcohol less, but they are smoking more marijuana. What's more, they're smoking more weed because they do not perceive it to be as harmful as did teens in the past. Teens' level of "associated risk" with marijuana use has gone done over time, and marijuana is, indeed, less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes: This could be an argument for more honest drug education in schools.

These findings are important, as alcohol and cigarettes are more deadly and addictive than pot. The report acknowledged that decreases in associated risk may play a factor in the increases in marijuana use. The decline in teens’ perception of marijuana’s harmfulness could be linked to public discussion of medical marijuana dispensaries and the ongoing debate about the medical benefits of marijuana.

Sweden legalizes and regulates cannabis It has been reported that the Swedish Parliament has just approved new legislation which will legalize and regulate the nation’s thriving cannabis trade. Jonas Grönhög, a representative from the Health and Social Services of Sweden, explained why the country has made this sensible decision to legalize marijuana: Stockholm, December 19 - The Swedish Parliament has approved a law which will regulate the growing, usage and trade of cannabis. This is according to the Health and Social Services of Sweden, Jonas Grönhög, who has quoted, "We don't want to make the same mistakes which the USA has done, we do not want to be prohibitionists because the war on drugs has been lost long ago.

(NaturalNews) (NaturalNews )The research indicates that cannabinoids hold the secret to helping heal many of the chronic diseases we are facing. From cancer to diabetes, and from autism to Alzheimer's, medical marijuana helps, and sometimes dramatically so. Cannabinoid medicine holds a great power to alleviate human suffering. There are no words to describe how important this substance is for our race in terms of sanity, compassion and highly rational medicine. Although medical marijuana is nontoxic, smoking it can be hazardous over the long term because toxic compounds are created in the combustion process.

Fortunately there are options for the administration of cannabis but in general all different ways of administrating hemp oil or raw marijuana can be combined with no harmful side effects. Also there are vaporizers that allow for inhalation or what amounts to transdermal treatments into the lungs without burning the marijuana. Oral Cannabis Transdermal Marijuana Topical Solution Uses.

We all agree that we need to generate tax dollars and pump money into the economy. Here is an idea as old as America itself.

It should strongly appeal to local agricultural interests, those who wish to promote economic growth, and people who support made-in-America products. It follows the logic of a recent News-Press editorial urging increased local oil production. The very conservative writer felt that we should look to the resources available right here in Santa Barbara County for increased tax and private-profit dollars. My suggestion is much less controversial and more environmentally friendly than increasing oil production — grow hemp.

If hemp were grown here we would join the roughly 35 countries in the world where it is legal to grow hemp. Paul Wellman Dr. There are compelling economic reasons for legalizing it.

I'm sitting with Nimbin's unofficial mayor, Michael Balderstone, at the Nimbin HEMP Embassy, watching locals and tourists wandering past colourful painted shopfronts.

The little village of Nimbin has a unique laid-back lifestyle and it's going on around us. People are drinking coffee, chatting with others as they pass by, some are shopping for organic vegetable seedlings and hemp-based soaps. For the past 20 years, Michael has been the public face of the North Coast's Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP) movement. "In the early 70s, the Poseidon venture was taking off and nickel mining shares went from $2 to $200," Michael said. He obviously wasn't too bad at his job because Michael was sent to London to receive further training, where he also took philosophy and art classes at night. "That's when I started thinking," Michael said. "I went away a stockbroker and I came back a hippie," Michael laughed. White fellas'.

Everyone feels nervous at some point in their lives. Waking in the middle of the night to a ringing phone or hearing news of a looming tempest can make someone very nervous.

A small, new study backs a long-standing claim of advocates of medical marijuana: pain patients can safely use cannabis while taking opioid painkillers, and may actually need fewer pills because of it. The research included 21 chronic pain patients, who were taking either long-acting morphine or Oxycontin twice a day. Adding marijuana to these opioid drugs reduced patients’ pain by an average of 27% and did not significantly affect blood levels of the prescription drugs. If marijuana had raised those blood levels, it could have increased overdose risk. “The combination may allow for opioid treatment at lower doses with fewer side effects,” the authors concluded.

Find More Stories More than a sniff of trouble David Shoebridge Over the last decade police sniffer dogs have become a fixture on our streets as part of a "tough on crime" agenda by the state governments around the country. In NSW they also operate on the NSW rail network from Berowra to Bondi Junction, Cronulla to Katoomba. For many young people sniffer dogs are a constant presence when they go out to popular nightspots on a Friday or Saturday night. They are particularly well-known to the Aboriginal community. Figures secured by the Greens in Parliament show that last year more than 12,350 people were searched in NSW after a police sniffer dog indicated to its handler that the person had drugs on them.

At first glance this may appear a reasonable approach to policing. But is there a solid basis on which to subject anyone to this? This is no little thing to be brushed aside.

Guimarães Braz J Med Biol Res, April 2006, Volume 39(4) 421-429 (Review) Abstract A high dose of D9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main Cannabis sativa (cannabis) component, induces anxiety and psychotic-like symptoms in healthy volunteers. This observation led us to suspect that CBD could have anxiolytic and/or antipsychotic actions. The results of two studies on healthy volunteers using perception of binocular depth inversion and ketamine-induced psychotic symptoms supported the proposal of the antipsychotic-like properties of CBD.

Future studies of CBD in other psychotic conditions such as bipolar disorder and comparative studies of its antipsychotic effects with those produced by clozapine in schizophrenic patients are clearly indicated.
