Remedy Description

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/59.html



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.
