Cannabis X Coceira

Salve galera da paz!

Me veio uma coisa a mente agora. Meus pais sao totalmente contra a erva, e eu tava pensando em um jeito, depois de muitas tentativas, em fazer eles olharem para ela de outra maneira e nao simplesmente como droga.

Como vi que aqui tem uma parte dedicada a Cannabis Medicinal e minha mãe tem um sério problema com coceira que eu acho que é causado por stress, mas nao sou medico pra saber, pensei que talvez aqui poderia saber disso.

Vcs sabem se a cannabis pode ser usada para combater coceira? Minha mae tem grandes ataques de coceira e o braço dela chega a ficar vermelho e até a formar casquinha de tanto que ela coça. Ela já tentou tomar vários remedios que médicos, dermatologistas recomendaram, mas nada funcionou. Entao pensei que a cannabis maravilhosa do jeito que é, que talvez tenha tbm essa funçao de curar a coceira.

Alguem sabe algo a respeito?

Seria bem util se alguem achasse alguma reportagem para dar mais credibilidade ainda.

Talvez essa seja uma portinha pela qual eu possa tentar começar a mostrar pra elas que maconha nao é esse bicho de 7 cabeças e ainda fazer ela gostar da danada! hehehe

Bom é só!

Abraços galera da paz!

Fiquem com Jah!

Infelizmente não encontrei a matéria em portugues. Se trata de um homem que reclamava de dor crônica causada por coceira nas genitais. Já havia tentado se tratar com remedios e não deu certo. O proprio médico confirmou a corte que existem indicios que a maconha poderia ajuda na coceira dele "já que existem matérias na impressa sobre a cannabis aliviando dores de esclerose multipla e em outras doenças". No final o juiz cobrou uma multa e falou "Foi uma tentativa burra e amadora. Estou preparado a lhe dar uma chance. Mesmo sendo prescrito(pelo médico), você não poderá planta cannabis em casa".

Man grew cannabis to combat itch

A man has been shown leniency after explaining he was growing cannabis to use the drug to tackle a genital itch.

Gregor Spalding admitted cultivating the drug at his home in Blairgowrie.

Perth Sheriff Court heard the 30-year-old was arrested in April after police picked up the crop's smell while at his home looking for someone else.

Sentence was deferred for six months for Spalding to be of good behaviour. He was assured that if he maintained this he would be treated "leniently".

Relieving pain

The court was told his "amateurish attempt" to cultivate cannabis was provoked by chronic pain he had suffered for three years.

Spalding said prescription medicine had failed to tackle pain caused by constant itching around his genitals.

He had decided to try using the drug as a painkiller, after reading about it on the internet, and wanted to grow cannabis himself, instead of buying it from a drug dealer.

o.gifstart_quote_rb.gif It was a stupid amateurish attempt. I am prepared to give you a chance end_quote_rb.gif

Sheriff Derek Livingston

His doctor wrote a letter to the court confirming Spalding had suffered chronic pain from an itching condition known as pruritus for three years.

The doctor added: "It is quite reasonable that he thought cannabis might help his condition as there have been reports in the press of cannabis relieving pain in multiple sclerosis and other conditions."

The court heard Spalding had not been in trouble with the authorities before and had now been referred to Dundee's Ninewells Hospital.

Sheriff Derek Livingston said: "It does strike me that this isn't a case where someone is growing the plant to supply it to others.

"It was a stupid amateurish attempt. I am prepared to give you a chance. As long as it remains proscribed, you cannot grow cannabis plants in your house."

Em adição a matéria, uma pequena explicação sobre coceira retirada da wikipedia(infelizmente em ingles denovo porque ainda não fizeram em português):

Mechanism

Itch can originate in the peripheral nervous system (dermal or neuropathic) or in the central nervous system (neuropathic, neurogenic, or psychogenic).[5]

* Dermal/Pruritoceptive

Itch originating in the skin is considered pruritoceptive and can be induced by a variety of stimuli, including mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical stimulation. The primary afferent neurons responsible for histamine induced itch are unmyelinated C-fibers. In human C-fiber nociceptors, two major classes exist: mechano-responsive nociceptors and mechano-insensitive nociceptors. Mechano-responsive nociceptors have been shown in studies to respond to mostly pain and mechano-insensitive receptors respond mostly to itch induced by histamine. However it does not explain mechanically induced itch or when itch is produced without a flare reaction which involves no histamine. Therefore it is possible that pruritoceptive nerve fibers have different classes of fibers, which is currently unclear in current research.[1]

Studies have been done to show that itch receptors are only found on the top two skin layers, the epidermis and the epidermal/dermal transition layers. Shelley and Arthur had verified the depth by injecting individual itch powder spicules (Mucuna pruriens) and found that maximal sensitivity was found at the basal cell layer or the innermost layer of the epidermis. Surgical removal of those skin layers removed the ability for a patient to perceive itch. Itch is never felt in muscle, joints, or inner organs, which show that deep tissue does not contain itch signaling apparatuses.[3]

Sensitivity to pruritic stimuli is not even across the skin and has a random spot distribution with similar density to that of pain. The same substances that elicit itch upon intracutaneous injection (injection within the skin) elicit only pain when injected subcutaneously (beneath the skin). Itch is readily abolished in skin areas treated with nociceptor excitotoxin capsaicin but remains unchanged in skin areas which were rendered touch-insensitive by pretreatment with saponins, an anti-inflammatory agent. Although experimentally induced itch can still be perceived under a complete A-fiber conduction block, it is significantly diminished. Overall, itch sensation is mediated by A-delta and C nociceptors located in the uppermost layer of the skin.[6]

* Neuropathic

Neuropathic itch can originate at any point along the afferent pathway as a result of damage of the nervous system. They could include diseases or disorders in the central nervous system or peripheral nervous system.[3] Examples of neuropathic itch in origin are nostalgia paresthetica, brachioradial pruritus, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve irritation.

* Neurogenic

Neurogenic itch, which is itch induced centrally but with no neural damage, is often associated with increased accumulation of endogenous opioids and possibly synthetic opioids.

* Psychogenic

Itch is also associated with some psychiatric disorders such as delusions of parasitosis or related obsessive-compulsive disorders, for example neurotic scratching.

EU gostei muito do link pra Blackwell Synergy.... trataram 3 pacientes com 5mg de THC sintetico(Marinol) , eles nao tinham resultado com medicamento convencional e com o Marinol resolveu inclusive a depressão de 2 dos 3 pacientes. Um sentiu efeitos colaterais de perda de coordenacao motora, mas quando diminuiu pra 2,5mg os sintomas foram embora..

Pruritus due to cholestatic liver disease can be particularly difficult to manage and frequently is intractable to a variety of medical therapies. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-9-THC) for intractable cholestatic related pruritus (ICRP) that has failed conventional (and unconventional) remedies. Three patients were evaluated for plasmapheresis because of ICRP. All 3 patients had previously been extensively treated with standard therapies for ICRP including: diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, cholestyramine, rifampicin, phenobarbital, doxepin, naltrexone, UV therapy, and topical lotions. Even multiple courses of plasmapheresis were performed without any benefit for the intractable pruritus. All patients reported significant decreases in their quality of life, including lack of sleep, depression, inability to work, and suicidal ideations. All patients were started on 5 mg of Δ-9-THC (Marinol) at bedtime. All 3 patients reported a decrease in pruritus, marked improvement in sleep, and eventually were able to return to work. Resolution of depression occurred in two of three. Side effects related to the drug include one patient experiencing a disturbance in coordination. Marinol dosage was decreased to 2.5 mg in this patient with resolution of symptoms. The duration of antipruritic effect is approximately 4–6 hrs in all three patients suggesting the need for more frequent dosing. Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol may be an effective alternative in patients with intractable cholestatic pruritus
