It can give you jelly legs and knock you out though. I made rather a strong space cake once. And my legs went, I didn't dare walk down the stairs, I slid down on my bum. And its weird because I'd just walked for an hour to buy some rizla, got back, rolled a spliff. Had been feeling quite pleasantly stoned, then before I lit it, thought I need to use the bathroom. Then, pow, splat, bouncing off the walls. I never did light it that night. Maybe I should lay down, where did that come from

"Those who live in grass houses do get stoned." - Graffiti

Smokers can space out when high - even astral travel - but find it difficult to recall the experience at a later date. It is doubtful that it is of any religious benefit

It is said that THC can remain in the bloodstream for two weeks.

However, manual workers and body builders love it because it dulls pain and they can push farther than they ordinarily would.

Recreational use has been legal in Holland for many years now and no negative reports yet.

But one drawback is that it kills male chromosomes resulting in having mostly female children.

Baudalaire, contrasting it with wine, believes that it is no good and makes neither men nor citizens.

In my humble opinion, all you guys have been overdosing on it if you are smoking a joint in one go. Dope is best taken in totes. The species should determine the number of totes per high. Seedless is good for parties. That iree feeling just won't stop.

Happy smokes, if it's legal in your country.

I agree Cannabis has a lot of good things about it ... I remember someone on a different site ... he was totally cool ...
he listed all kinds of what purposes it could be use for ...
I was amazed but they would not do any of that becouse it would take away from what others made the business from ... like plastic for instance ...


I am all for medical cannabis... really does help some people ...

others not so much ...

Five years ago I had to have an operation. Without it, I would die. The operation did save my life. After 7 hrs on the table, I woke up to the worse pain I've ever known. Five years later and I still hurt. A pain so bad that no pain medication would hardly touch it.

For almost 5 years I could hardly move for the pain. I started to gain weight. I got to heavy because the pills that just barely held the pain down, doped me. Just sit on the porch and watch the world go by and wait for death to come and get me.

They added years on to my life by fixing what was wrong. But the price to pay for each day living was almost non-stop pain. That's no way to live your life in pain so bad that you can hardly open your eyes. After 5 years of trying to do it the "doctors way", I gave up and started cannabis about 3 months ago.

I'm a card-carrying cannabis oil user. I got my doctor to help me get the card that says I can legally carry cannabis oil.

After the first use, things started getting better. The pain started easing away. It did something that a hand full of painkillers couldn't. After using it for a few days, I started getting off the porch because I didn't need those addictive pills anymore.

I've always had a lot of energy. Those pills were killing it and me. After a couple of months, I started exercising again. I started gaining my strength back again. I dropped from 275lbs to 248. Then from 248 to 230.

Yes, I still have a bad day here and there when the ache will creep up on me and hurt me all day. But I will gladly accept that. I've gone from days, weeks and months with non-stop pain, to a flare up maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I can live with that.

One last thing, you have pill fog. Then you have cannabis fog. Pill-induced fog, at least for me, was constant. The pills kept me foggy all day. Everyday. The cannabis, for me it's different. For me, the cannabis fog only lasts about 30 min to an hour. The fog lifts and I'm ready to go. I can do that.

I went from a 24hr a day fog and still be hurting. To a 30 min to an hour fog and not hurt at all. Sounds like a win to me. Other pluses, I'm able to think better because I'm no longer in a pill-induced fog. I even reopened my shop not long ago and hired my two helpers back.

I ain't perfect. But at least I am no longer sitting on the porch waiting for death to come and get me.




Great story ! I'm so glad that medical marijuana worked for youflowerforyou

For recreational use cannabis should be treated better than alcohol.
1. Very little violence is associated with cannabis use, where much violence is associated with alcohol use.
2.To a regular cannabis user, there is much less impairment than with alcohol.
3.Alcohol over indulgence is much,much more damaging than cannabis over indulgence.
4.Regular use of cannabis actually has mental & physical benefits.
5.With alcohol , you have your bars & restaurants & festivals, public gatherings to share cannabis should be allowed the same opportunities.

For Medical patients, they should be allowed to purchase the amount of medicine that they need to treat their ailment & at a very affordable price.

Hey Happy, I couldn't agree more! I'm probably biased since I've smoked cannabis pretty much every day for the last 45 years. It helps with my chronic pain issues and of course gives me the harmless high that IMO all humans seek. I've never had a drinking problem and actually rarely drink at all and I believe that my cannabis use is why.

There's been some stuff about it helping to prevent Alzheimer's. I believe that, it makes sense.
I mean think about it, they make snake anti venom, out of venom
An inoculation, is usually a mild dose of the very thing your getting the inoculation for in the first place, so you can build up anti bodies
Ganja affects the short term memory, so, I think it makes sense

Back in my youth, yeah used to.

Then came the days of urinalysis and I had to decide which I wanted more, the job or the dope. I chose the job. Never for a moment did I think there was anyway to fool it and never tried.

That's been a long time ago. Never went back to it.

Hair analysis is supposed to be the way to determine long term. Mine would be clean.

Urinalysis!
I was relaxed until I saw that word which just pisses me off. (no pun intended)
It makes me think of someone just getting out our constitution pissing all over it and then jumping up and down on it for good measure!
What could possibly be a greater violation of our rights as Americans?
One of the worst points is that the peoples jobs that should be in question over drug use; the tweekers, the meth users, the "yeah I haven't slept for 4 days but I'm cool to drive this truck among the public". These people can flush out their systems in 3 days. The guy that smokes a little weed needs 30 days to clean himself out or he loses his job to the meth head that cleaned up for 72 hours and then applied.

In Nigeria, the governor of a state where most of the illegal cannabis is grown is making a case for medical marijuana as a revenue earner.
There's some opposition from the establishment.
We are watching.

Something I never got was how , in higher education/the college experience, we tend to expect and even glorify keg parties and being drunk, but turn around and criminalize being high, just weirdly inconsistent to me.

Yes it is!

Remember: With booze you lose, with dope there's hope!

A pot high and a booze high are two totally different things. With booze, you get drunk and act like an idiot. This idea that pot kills brain cells, it's a myth. Booze, besides making you act like an idiot if you drink too much. It also damages your kidneys and bladder.

Since my last post on this thread, it's been a year or more since I started. The "old" me is back. My brain is actually working better since I started the pot. In all honesty, right after I smoke you may as well leave me be for a little while. Right after I smoke I'm addled for a little bit. But in a little while that goes away. And I'm up to going.

What it is to the best of my limited knowledge, Pot effects certain receptors in the brain. For me, it's pain receptors. So, for about an hour I stay away from driving. The simplest way I know how to explain it, I know when I'm buzzing a little. So, I wait until that is over. But you take a person who is high on booze, he thinks he can do everything better when he's drunk. He's a menace on the road. The booze fogs the brain so badly that they don't realize what they are doing. They can't talk and make sense.

Every day down in my shop I have to deal with people. I'm never foggy. I guess what I'm trying to say is, booze will take your life away from you. It will kill blood cells. It kills brain cells. It kills people. I do not know of one person who ever overdosed on the pot. If you use it like I do it's a Godsend.

The thing about pot, If you try to push it too far, you're either going to pass out and sleep for the next 12 to 14 hours. Or you will get sick from the dizzy it brings on. But if you smoke it in a responsible manner, You may get a buzz for a little while, but that buzz will go away. For me, the buzz goes away in about an hour. And I'm mostly pain-free. And able to think much clearer than before.

Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Damage Brain

"July 1, 2003 -- Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say, researchers".
