Nah... to be honest, I am starting to think that it has these daily rants against cannabis as a sort of guilt thing - it knows that it's killing itself with it's dependency on the opioids, and making excuses to do so. Based on that, it's lashing out at people that AREN'T sticking themselves in that rut, people that suffer worse pain and yet have lives, jobs, and aren't slaves to a substance, but choose to medicate in a responsible and SAFE way that doesn't create a physical dependence. SO OP posts from guilt, and from jealousy, best I can figure.

Quoting: Yidna i use cannabis every day. call me stupid every day you call me stupid like you are some kind of idiot. I don't even use it because it's still illegal where I live. I do get the CBD oil but it has to be less than .03 or maybe it's .003 percent THC in it. If I had health issue and Cannabis worked, I would use it regardless. I have nothing against it. In fact, I fully support it be legal worldwide for people who can benefit from it. |
woolsey User ID: 77143291 United States 12/05/2018 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Compared with a person who never smoked marijuana, someone who uses marijuana regularly has, on average, less gray matter in his orbital frontal cortex, a region that is a key node in the brain's reward, motivation, decision-making and addictive behaviors network. Quoting: Cannabis Kills People Researchers noted that the IQ of the marijuana-using group was significantly lower than that of the non-using group. [link to www.latimes.com] The existing literature on the long-term effects of marijuana on the brain provides an inconsistent picture (i.e., presence or absence of structural changes) due to methodological differences across studies. We overcame these methodological issues by collecting multimodal measures in a large group of chronic marijuana using adults with a wide age range that allows for characterization of changes across lifespan without developmental or maturational biases as in other studies. Our findings suggest that chronic marijuana use is associated with complex neuroadaptive processes and that onset and duration of use have unique effects on these processes. [link to www.pnas.org] Don't know about that, but I would suggest it makes you on the more lazy side, as does alcohol and kava. |

And if you're speaking strictly about an indica strain, smoked, or vaped at a certain temperature, I'd be inclined to agree. If, however, you use a hybrid, or a sativa at low temperature, you actually achieve a state where you aren't "high," and your energy, focus and motivation are increased. this is one of the things I've found fascinating as cannabis culture and science have begun to mesh - all of the previously unknown things we're finding out, and stereotypes being shattered. I have an extremely lazy friend, who offsets that with a few puffs of a sativa throught the day when he has to get things done - it's amazing, night and day. I love this stuff, hope people see it and start their own research into this very interesting topic, whether they ever choose to use cannabis or not. And THIS is why I say stop hating on OP... it's unbalanced obsession with these threads is a fantastic platform for truth! ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.

Pain, fatigue, physical brain damage to pain centers, arthritis and avoiding seizures ALSO causes a huge deal of fatigue.. why not ask my wife? Then ask her how many hours of work she put in today, and how much of that pain she allowed her clients to see? And THEN, ask what medications she was on for those things? NONE. Her thyroid med, yes, daily. Other than that? She'll likely take an ibuprofen before she goes to her choir practice, and a couple of drops of CBD tincture before bed. But you keep convincing yourself of your excuse, OP. Broke my back, was to be in a wheelchair within 5 years. That was 25 years ago. Never took a DROP of the poison narcotics, even though the surgeon who said I couldn't be fixed said I'd have no choice.

Heck, the guys 20 years younger can't keep up on my good days. SO yeah, you complain about your fatigue. I'll stick to a couple of small puffs on a vaporizer each night before bed, and I can only hope you decide to make the same choice someday, before it really IS too late for you. You're up late, you should get some rest... I'll be back tomorrow!

I used to work at a homeless shelter for two years. I noticed a few things: * Everyone who was there for economic or health reasons managed to pull themselves up and get out. * Everyone who smoked pot is still homeless or couch surfing. They were always the ones who was passionate about legalization. * The ones who got out were passionate about getting back on their feet and getting out. |

And if YOU'RE near fifty, I'd say age has as much to do with it as anything else, unless your Dad remarried a WAY young woman... which I totally wouldn't judge. And I notice you ignored the "drinking AND hittin' the bong" part... did I score? I think I scored... Regardless, it's not about you or your parents - you may have a unique experience, sorry to hear it, but I've never seen a food issue with pot smokers. If anything, too much food prepared too well - I have to warn my neighbor that if he invites up for dinner he's not allowed to smoke until AFTER he cooks or we're there for 5 hours :) no I don't live there dad tells me if he ain't cooking he's eating burnt dinner - step mom is 20 years younger than him jump to conclusions much?
