Thank you for that, now I don't feel like the outsider here, cause I am the same as
you, and very happy for it.

I also don't like to take prescription drugs. I have another way to stop headaches, I just focus on the spot the pain is and total relax that spot, then imagine the blood flowing freely. If you catch it before it gets bad it is easier to prevent. I have not had a bad headache in years :)

Triple ditto to me. Pot is just beer in a plant. Which is where beer is from. Cosmik!!!!
I think there is one very important difference between pot and beer. Beer/alcohol can bring out the beast in us and spread suffering into our world. Where pot mellows people out and the result is more peace.

Comparisons are often made but they aren't really the same at all. There is a beer made from hemp but it's nothing like the buzz you get from pot. As well there are vast differences between pot and alcohol.

While not a bad beer per se, it's a novelty at best. Learn to love Guinness and people will admire you for your intelligent choice. ;-)

The best effect I've ever recieved from marijuana is its ability to put me to sleep when nothing else (non-perscription) works. I don't smoke it either - I hate what it does to my lungs. I put it in a tincture. It's ground up, soaked in alcohol for several weeks, and placed into a small dark bottle. It only takes about 15 drops and you're so groggy you could fall asleep standing up. It doesn't give you a high, you don't get stoned, and you don't feel bad for doing it because it's no worse than taking any other kind of sleep medication. As a student who has a hard time relaxing, something to help out is essential for good study habits.

Plus my mother is a legal grower :) So it's cheaper than any perscription medication for me.

I'm a bit older than most people on this forum and you know, None of the guys I knew that were really into pot smoking and continue to smoke it ever made a go of anything. Their marriages failed, they lost jobs. I certainly wouldn't call them successful. I think pot destroys ambition.

With al do respect juan, if anything pot opens the receptors of creativity....
All my friends smoke pot and they are good family people.....they take their kids to hockey, they go to church, they pay taxes, they drive expensive cars, I have been married for 33 years and not planning to brake my family up....So my ambition is strong.

I agree marijuana, if legalized, should be legal for persons over whatever age (19 in Ontario). And right now, I full heartedly agree it should be allowed for people with terminal illnesses and serious pain problems.

I know people who have had serious pain with cancer who have had no resort except to turn to marijuana.

Do recognize no higher power than the law sir? What about mother nature, the very breasts that we both drained with gleefull greedy suction. She offers herself to us in mutitudinous acts of benevolent nurturing love and you sir, in hastened alarm perhaps, grasp at the flimsy unnatural device of law. Why should the law get between me and my mother? She insists that cannibis is good for me and it simply isn't the business of lawyers to interfere, they should just STFU. Children should be allowed to eat it.;-)

Do all your friends spell as well as you do? You do remember that pot is illegal don't you. I've seen no evidence that suggests pot is good for you. It has to be at least as bad for you as tobacco........Maybe worse because of the high tar content in pot.

It takes only fifteen seconds to strip the resin from the plant matter with alcohal, longer soaks make dirtyer oil as the plantmatter begins to break down, once the isopropal is gone it can then be suspended in the preferred solution as usual. The oil is purer so the dose would have to be redetermined.

juan,

You obviously have not used pot for medicinal purposes. It is true that smoking it the way most people do, is harmful as well as useful, but that is not the only way to get the medicinal qualities. It sounds like your opinions are based on propaganda that spews forth from Big Pharma that fears anything natural that can be used to replace their dangerous drugs. Millions of people die every year from prescription drugs but you can count the number of people adversely affected by pot smoking on one hand.

If I was an habitual pot smoker like you, I would likely fight all opposition to pot use just like you. We have studied the effects of smoking tobacco for years and we all know it causes lung cancer. Pot contains a lot of the same carcinogenic materials as tobacco. It stands to reason that pot smoking carries many of the same risks, but if you want it to be harmless, it is your choice...........Go for it...:roll:

A big hug for you Socrates our feelings are often trampled on by the insensitive monsters who don't smoke cannibis.;-)
