Dr West in Jamaica and Dr Lockhart in Texas released invented in 1990 Asmasol, a cannabis derivative that helps relieve asthma attacks. "Asmasol is useful during both the acute phase of an asthma attack, and as a preventive during the impending phase," West explained, adding that he and Lockhart have also created Canavert, a ganja-based treatment for motion sickness, and are working on Cantimol, another glaucoma medication slated for imminent release." Canasol for glaucoma was first released in 1983, and has been tested on thousands of patients in the Carribiean with no side effects. Dr West became first interested in marijuana as a medical benefits in 1971. When he heard that Jamaican fisherman fishing on pitch black nights on the reefs (which is dam dangerous) claim to have perfect night vision, as the result of smoking a lot of ganga. (Editor: I have wittnes many times people walking in pitch blackness, where you can't even see your hand in front of your...without flashlights) Dr. West looked into the fishermans claims and found that ganja was affecting blood flow to the retina. Dr. West than began investigating ganga, as a natural night vision aid to replace night vision devices. He gave up on this quest and instead developed marijuana medicines for ashtma, glaucoma, and recently motion sickness. His ganga pills eliminating the marijuana high. Editor: I personally believe the same effects can be obtained by smoking ganga than by taking it in its pill form. This is verified that many people smoke pot for glaucoma here in the US. ------------------------ CONTACTS * The cannabis-based medicines are available to doctors and patients with some difficulty.
