Friend, God bless you. I have heard football players talk about cannibis as a pain reliever. Their argument is that they feel better with cannibis than they do pain meds. Perhaps this is why the substance exists. It is not to be used for recreation but for pain relief that really could be better than man made medicine.
Please stfu. Thanks, everyone
You should expect that when you try to tell people what they can or can't put in their bodies and under what circumstances.
I'd love to hear your logic behind not using weed recreationally while alcohol is legal. If you pro-rated the # of people alcohol has killed to a 100,000 seat arena, and then factored in deaths attributable to pot, I'd guess pot might command 1 seat... maybe. I think you're just ignorant on this topic, but if you're worried about public health, that of friends, family and parishioners, focus on alcohol and you'd be helping people 100,000 to 1.
I have never done The Pot before but I can see what you are saying. Hard alcohol could make guys fight. People who are high on MJ usually want to fight they will just do it later.
I will be completely honest. I don't know what it is. Therefore I don't have an opinion. My rule of thumb concerning drugs and alcohol is to not take anything that will impair me or something I will become addicted to. I don't want any substance becoming my master. Tell me about respertain. What does it do?
Some of the best oil I've had was made using the bible recipe. It was called 'holy shit'.
are you buying CBD or full on THC? I'm skeptical of all the CBD stuff... no FDA regulation of supplements (WTF???) and it's just exploded and I think is now just a big marketing hype tool. Modern day bee pollen.
It's laughable to anyone who has smoked even a little that alcohol is legal and pot not, and viewed as a gateway drug. Alcohol is responsible for more deaths in a month in the US (accidents and illnesses) than pot has ever been in it's entirety.
Not saying it doesn’t have any dangers, but, compare that to if your been an alcoholic? Likely DUIs, serious damage to your health, lost jobs?, much higher likelihood of death to u and others, fights?, arrests?
My perspective and opinions would be subjective and anecdotal. There is some alcohol addiction issues in my family. And, yes, catastrophic things can happen when alcohol use gets out of control. I would speculate that there is less known about the medical and social, and yes, mental developmental issues related to pot use.
Naturally my opinion is subjective and anecdotal, but I think you're just being obstinate here. I don't have to have a PhD to know the far greater problems and cost to society caused by alcohol. Can pot be a problem: of course. It's like saying I'm not going to hazard a guess on which poses a greater danger: assault rifles or single shot shotguns, because both can kill you. Alcohol kills, impairs, addicts and costs society many times more than pot does, and that's with a 70 year campaign by the government to create fear and distrust of pot. Think of the prevalence of alcohol treatment programs, DUI, deaths, serious illness... there is no comparison. That's not even factoring in the potential beneficial uses of MJ in treating nausea, anxiety, pain, sleep, etc... MJ has been legal in CO for close to 10 years, and I don't even need to know for sure (nor do I need to look it up) to know that alcohol is responsible for 50X or more the # of deaths, despite both being illegal. I could agree that it's probably safer if folks didn't use/abuse either, but again, my premise was only that there's no reason for MJ not to be legal if alcohol is, and you at least agreed to that.
To me many "facts" or studies aren't reliable, because they were commissioned with an end result in mind... which from the gov't or spirits lobby was intent on discrediting MJ. Again, my personal experience, which I've witnessed hundreds (thousands?) of times tells me that anyone after a night of drinking is not 0% impaired (nor do I believe they'd have 0% alcohol after say 8-10 hrs if they were reasonably buzzed.. that screams paid for with alcohol money) , and just as I've often said, I'll drive next to someone with a pot buzz 10/10X rather than someone who is equally buzzed/drunk on alcohol; I'll take the same the next morning.
It is funny discussing something like this on a site like this. It is awkward and cumbersome since words get in the way.
I didn't say, or at least didn't mean all research, but what I mean is that there are so many studies done with an outcome in mind, it makes it very hard to find the "objective" ones... how do you know? I've never seen a study that said, "this is a subjective research study funded by X to yield the outcomes they desire..." but that's often what they are. Additionally, a well financed lobby that has lots of gov't involvement (let's see, alcohol comes to mind) can also keep many of those objective studies from ever being funded.
I have seen studies that MJ affects the brain differently of juveniles/young adults vs adults, and that might be what IU?Imfine is getting at and experienced. Frankly, it sounds so much like another attempt to discredit MJ, that's what I wrote it off as, but I do know there are studies that have shown that... up to the age of 25 or so I think. And, like Imfine, I did struggle with MJ in college and had it kill motivation. Whereas now as an "adult", I find it easy to manage MJ better... I always attributed it to maturity, but that's a word I hate to use around me. TMP, have you seen any objective info on that?
What I have noticed is that motivated people when smoking cannabis are motivated, while lazy people who smoke are lazy. It's not the gateway to laziness ...
How much difference do you notice between sativas and indicas, related to how it affects your behavior? Do you have different strains you use for creativity, or to chill or do have one that fits you and that's what you tend to stick with? I've mostly just used edibles lately and they have generally been hybrids. I'd imagine if you really wanted to control the type of high, then the actual bud/flower is the way to go, yes?
