Better legalize it to keep it out of the hands of children.

Fuk are you stupid. How much did you drink today?

Don't be so silly. People in the Church of Homeopathy shouldn't be denigrating others

Habitual cannibus use will cause depression, paranoia, withdrawal. self absorption, lethargy.. ultimately psychosis. It will scuttle educations and careers and families. It's one of the most antisocial substances going.

so does religion.

That's true, but so to is sunlight, music, laughter etc. You're prone to over reaction and you haven't had any today I presume. Stick to your nice safe scientific pills.

If you think that sunlight, music and laughter numb your brain, that proves my point. Your brain has been seriously altered.

I think your exact words were "mind altering drug" - which they are - just maybe not a drug in the narcotic sense. Please try again....

Out of the hands of gangs would be a better option. Kids always get the stuff they want.

Ya, Vicodin, codeine, and OxyContin kill, man.

prescription drugs: mind altering and impairing, addicting, hard on your body, legal. Big companies paying taxes making lots of money.

Pot: no big companies, no corporate profit and not paying taxes...

I hadn't tried that stuff for years then the other day had some before a band practice. Half of my brain cells died that night. I couldn't think straight if my life depended on it.

Tryin to think,,what's worse. Trying to converse with a loud mouth slobberin drunken sot, or a red eyed numb head who loses track of what he was saying in mid sentence. lol. It' good. It's ALL good/ .

Naproxen is nasty.

I find as long as I take it with food, it doesn't kill my stomach. Beyond that, the sh*t works, that's all I can say.
It's the oxys I can't stand, which is why I only take them when I'm having a really bad day. Between the vomiting and that itchy, bugs crawling on me feeling, it's no wonder I never got addicted to the things. :lol:

That's not entirely accurate. Heavy, long-term use has the potential to cause those things.
Someone smoking 2-3 grams(or more) a day everyday will potentially have problems. Someone smoking a gram or two a week isn't likely to suffer the long-term, heavy use effects.
Like everything else it's about moderation.

I can't take it even with food. Synthetic opiates are nasty. Good ol morphine in low doseages complimented by low dose cannabis works extremely well for my MS neuropathy. Synthetics and cannabis don't have the same prophylaxis nor do either on their own in higher doses. It has taken several years of trial and error to find the right opiate dosages and the right cannabis cultivar.

neither is worse. Both are annoying.

Those who seek obliteration will choose any means. Its' a red flag. A call for help.

There is great conversation and good times to be had with those who imbibe in moderation. Nothing of worth comes from getting bombed on any substance.

Clearly a strong strain or the wrong strain. Not everything works in every situation. If I have alot of manual work to do and I'd like nothing better then to go to bed. A couple of hoots will give me the energy to complete the work and make it enjoyable.

For me there's no having a couple of hoots and watching a movie, or reading a book, no eating, or falling a sleep.

I read an article recently by Dr. Carl Hart who expressed the need to be aware of the positive effects of whatever drug/medicine/recreational drug you are doing. And to be aware of the negative so you can choose what is effective.

I think alot of people just run headlong into stuff without really thinking about, considering, or evaluating the effects wanted, effects needed and putting aside those that simply are not offering what is needed.

Sounds like you've got a handle of all of that. I think more people need to make awareness the prioirity. Not just medicating or running away from the "issue" be it physical, emotional pain management, suppression of negative symptoms or positive enforcement.
