People are disturbing lately.. Graphic

A drink, a drag in moderation DOES change your mood, and that can certainly be a good thing. But I get just as high on a breezy day at the reservation with Pookins looking back and laughing over her shoulder...certainly love natural highs too.

Something else positive about pot, nevermind this medical marijuana fiasco...is it has been used for medicinal purposes forever. My sister in law was having massive radiation and chemo. Smoking helped the nausea, gave her some appetite she badly needed, and made her feel relaxed and happy given the situation. Another tumor eventually got her two years later. But like she'd say "It works for me, what's it gonna do give me cancer?". For some people it's a blessing.

Weed can be a blessing for everybody if they just try it...LOL.

Being around somebody smoking weed gives me heart palpations and a major migraine. No thanks

Wine is the difference between me losing it in an earth shattering panic attack at the end of a work week and me feeling good, cuddly, sleepy, and waking up refreshed for the weekend.

This is what prevented me from ever trying it, despite growing up in a hippie town.

Plus I could never bring myself to smoke something that reeks like the back end of a skunk.

I live in the ghetto. I walk out of my house and can smell it. The old neighbours had a grow op in their back yard.

Kinda makes enjoying being outside difficult.

Different strains of weed are like different strains of perfume, to me... I used to think it smelled like a skunk but now I'm a connoisseur. And there really are nice, sweet smelling types of weed. Weird - weed actually helps with migraines. Maybe it's just the smoke? Vaporizers and edibles solve that issue.

I wish I could smoke weed during my first trimester. Before I found out I was pregnant, I was smoking, and never got nauseous or felt awful. As soon as I found out and quit smoking I got nauseous and had no appetite and felt super tired and yucky for months. I never ever get nauseous or sick to my stomach, so it's been hard to function.

 

[Barbara!]

I can't smoke anymore because of the boyfriend. So, yeah. My dream is dead. Lol.

Pot also gives me headaches/migraines. I can't stand the smell of it.

Everybody's different I guess. My old hippie dude friend just nodded and said, "Yeah, some people just get really bad headaches from it," when I turned some down and told him why. I never asked him if it was different if you eat it. I'll never find out, because there are a lot of other really yucky things I'd rather eat than pot at this point in my life.

Smoking seeds gives you a BAD headache. Not sure if the secondhand smoke causes issues with people, it hasn't with me but I'm pretty good with smoke typically.

Weed makes me throw up.


**** hippy

 

[Barbara!]

I have never once gotten a headache from weed, but I have thrown up from it before. If you eat a lot, and then smoke A LOT, you're likely to hurl. And puking when you're high is horrible.

More then a decade ago my room mates would take me along on buys. What ever bag made me the most nauseous is what they would buy, and I got a 6 pack out of the deal.

 

[AdrianneIsabel]

Can it be how it's packed too? I puke from a bad hookah bowl and get horrific headaches but a good bowl is smooth and enjoyable. We don't smoke anymore but I know I was shocked when Denis showed me how relaxing it can be after my exes bowls always made me miserable.

I highly, highly doubt that the face eater only had weed in his system. Thing is, they can only test for substances they know about.

IMO, the only way weed would truly be made "harmful" is if it's being spiked with something. Try googling "death from weed" and you'll have a hard time finding anything. If you smoke too much, you'll risk falling asleep or eating all of the food in your fridge. Personally, I feel that alcohol is much more dangerous... drink too much, and it can be toxic. No one has ever had their stomach pumped from smoking or vaping too much weed

I've heard of people getting headaches from smoking seeds and stems... but you're not supposed to smoke those.

Spice "incense" is stupid. Because certain formulas keep getting pulled, new ones are being made. That stuff isn't even in the same category as weed, and you're risking putting god knows what into your system. Yuck. They used to have it in gas stations around here until it was banned, and smoke stores have to sell it as "incense." Because someone is going to spend $45 on a dime-sized bag of "incense" to put in their house... nope, not obvious it's meant for smoking at ALL . A lot of people have been hospitalized from trying that stuff ONCE, even.

I don't see anything wrong with smoking weed or drinking (in moderation, of course!). Like caffeine, chamomile tea, advil, running (endorphines!), weed and alcohol are just things to alter your mood/feeling. Have a headache and what do you do? Take Tylenol. Why is Tylenol better than weed for a headache? If weed gets rid of headaches and nausea, it's a bonus since it's natural rather than created in a lab somewhere.

I've done spice before. At the risk of sounding like a drug addict, the kind I tried wouldnt have made me eat anyone's face off. Compared to weed, where the high is heavy and "sludgy", spice is sharp and lucid. It's weird. But, it certainly doesn't make you want to eat face. LOLOLOL.

You can't really OD on it the same way as other drugs, but it definitely can cause permanent harm. I get really irritated at the amount of misinformation spread about its effects and how it's so harmless and natural. No, it's not. Some people tolerate it extremely well without any apparent long term effects, but in others it can do serious, irreparable harm. I feel that anybody choosing to use it deserves to know the potential consequences, so they can make an informed choice about their health.

Compared to the things that are legal...like alcohol...and cigarettes...weed is tame. Very tame.

My migraines from it are actually due to allergies, hence the just being around I giving a headache. If I'm actually near the person, I get hives.
