It “made you sleepy” because like most modern money driven westerners, you are likely sleep deprived!

Marijuana seeks to BALANCE the human mind and body!

Hydrate your body sufficiently!

@Ungod it didn't matter where or when or what I smoked. Always put me to sleep. I don't drink carbonated beverages or coffee much. I sleep plenty and well and I'm very healthy.

@Medicdad
Yes doctor...

@okiestache Where have you been? People have been curing cancer with THC since the 1970s. The internet is crammed with stories, and even the official cancer website admits THC kills cancer cells without harming human ones, but keeps saying it hasn't been officially endorsed by the cancer society.

Mainly because chemo therapy and radiation, which recent studies in the U.K. show kills patients within 15 years of treatment for 50% of patients, is a billion dollar industry.
People who announce alternate cures in their clinics have been turning up dead in droves. So many in the past few years that it's forced alternate cancer care givers into hiding. You might try reading more.

@okiestache Do a google/youtube search for CANNABIS CURES CANCER and THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM...

I’ll match 3 drinks vs smoking all the MJ anyone can possibly consume in one setting, in a comparative contest of driving, or any other mind-body coordination skill, ANY day!

I am one more like dat...

When you’re around...

@Ungod Nope period. He is an honor student in engineering. I am a medical patient, his wife and mother are as well.
Just not his thing . . .
He did for a while as a teen (17-18) but stopped, not fond ofthe effects on his thinking process.

@Davesnothere Sure... I bet he doesn’t masturbate also!

@Ungod No need for him to hide it with two medical patients using it in the home all the time.

He must not breathe in the home...

@Ungod we don't smoke in the home, that would be inconsiderate, we smoke on the porch.
Also, it is not the same thing to be exposed to second hand smoke as to smoking something yourself because you want to, doubly so when the patients are medical and consume less than a gram a day of CDB strains, not THC strains, much of which is not smoked at all.

Point being, it is readily availble and not frowned upon by familt friends or his wife, it is just not his cup of tea.

Why is that hard to believe?
Not everyone likes drinking either.

@Davesnothere
Not everybody tells the truth either...

@Ungod True, but I also live with him, and both his wife and I smoke regularly.
There is zero reason for him to lie
He just does not like weed.

I am kind of amazed that you find that unbelievable, like you have never met anyone ever who did not like weed.
Sounds like your in a green Bubble.
And seeing as we all used to live in Humboldt together, I have seen a few of those.

@Davesnothere - I don’t NOT believe it. I just DON’T believe it...

@Ungod I get that, but it is not a fantastic claim.
It is not any different than someone not liking Lasagna, or Chili, or Beer, or wine.
A personal preference, which you cannot believe.

Reeks of a bias you hold.

@Davesnothere - Experience... I find that sex, drugs and money are the things most people lie about, most of the time.

If you wanna believe him that’s ok and understandable.

But I don’t!

@Ungod While I find that addage to be valid, it assumes apriori that every person always has some reason to lie about those things
Which is simply false
That is crossing the line from skepticism to cynicism

I do not need to believe him, he is standing beind me. I told him about your inability to believe he did not smoke when his wife and I do when I last had to medicate myself.

He says "You can eat a dick Motherfucker. Calling me a liar for no reason."

Pot is not physically addictive. You cannot "get hooked" on it like smack or crank.

However if your life sucks, your job sucks and life looks bleak, weed can brighten your mood. That is why more enlightened societies grasp it works as a medication,

One can become phycologically dependant on it, but not physically addicted.

In short I would not blame that lads lot in life on weed, but on something underlying, for which he uses weed to cope. For instance "He got hooked on it at 12?", by that you mean he startyed using it at 12.
So life was not stadard issue for him was it?
In some way life was kind of fucked up as he was starting to use weed at 12, something drove that.

@Davesnothere There are many other signs of addiction than physical addiction. Addiction can be habitual and behavioral. If you have these signs, OBSESSIVE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS, DISREGARD OF HARM CAUSED, LOSS OF CONTROL: DENIAL OF ADDICTION OR HIDING DRUG USE then you are addicted and it is harmful.

@CK-One You are conflating addiction and pyschological dependance

No comparison...

That’s like responding to, “Do you play sports?” with, “I seldom even have sex!”...

@Ungod , if you can’t compare sports to sex, you’re doing one of them wrong!

If you think MJ is anything like DRINKING ALCOHOL (edited), you haven’t done either one right. Which seems to be YOUR story!

@Ungod MJ=weed. If you are just looking to argue, look somewhere else. I will block you. Have a nice day

You, me and the rest of us... 50 years steadily toking so far. Some restrictions and interruptions during 10 years (never busted) military service!

@Ungod Had very full on couple of decades, served 3 sentences but more mellowed now though, but you gotta keep your hand in,

@Savage - I very much VAPE now. I’m currently enamored with cannabis cartridges @ nectarsectorextracts.com...

I’ve never seen a party YET I can’t buzz kill!

OFTEN, weed can show you things you may need to remove from your diet or surroundings.

It can also be used to face fears that are deep in your conscious that may need to be addressed.

Just sayin...

@Ungod I'll pass on the violent vomit, thanks.

What inFUCK is “VIOLENT VOMIT” !?!

@Ungod Guess you've never been that sick - you're lucky.

@Fanburger Why do you say that? I don't put anybody down for smoking pot. I don't think it is crap to get high or take cannabis in some other form. I just can't do it myself because it makes me sick. How is that "crap"?

@LindaEnger - I understand vomiting violently (a poor description, imho), but I am thoroughly at a loss as to what constitutes VIOLENT VOMIT !!

Never had an inoculation? No childhood illnesses? Never had a drink or sampled food cooked in alcohol? Is all your food grown in laboratories? You’ve been eating organically grown meats and vegetables all your life? Do you BREATHE ??

@Ungod ummm. Ok. I’ve never taken illicit drugs. Since I was an adult I’ve never taken any prescription drugs. For the last 11 years I’ve gotten most of my food from local farmers who don’t give vaccines to their animals and are all pasture raised. So, yes, I actively avoid drugs as much as possible

Funny how some ppl get all anal about a general question, good for you! Because I myself was taking a medication from Dr that gave my liver a temporary out of wack trying to shut down...finally reading normal now minus a mass they found that develop in the liver n my belly miraculously sinking in by itself that test n drs can't figure out why. I'm hoping it just completely sinks in lol then I can reduce my belly fat...?@ThomasReitz

@ThomasReitz - The “I don’t take drugs” group is a funny bunch! Drugs go from “licit” to “illicit” on the whims of the legal and pharmaceutical powers that be and is NOT a useful scientific/chemical delineation.

ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA and COCAINE were once quite “licit” (if that’s a word!).

Even now, a total LUSH can lay claim to not doing illicit drugs!

Nevermind how we are constantly bombarded with chemicals in our environment that quite literally fit into the catagory of DRUGS, but are just never identified as such.

I won’t even start with the virtual drugs of TELEVISION and other mass influences of drug particle/waves we are ALL subjected to regularly.

AND drugs, in herbal forms, such as coffee and tobacco, are a regular and often BENEFICIAL part of regular human consumption.

One of my overall points it that the “I don’t take drugs” position is little more than meaningless snobbery...

But now you’ve “clarified” your position as “I actively avoid drugs as much as possible”. So who doesn’t?
