Well, I suppose there may indeed be some good qualities, but in general, lungs simply do not like particulates.
Marijuana and Lung Health | American Lung Association

What vilification? Pretty much everyone in this neck of Canada uses it. And the only vilification you might find around here is cops going after large-scale, illegal grow ops.

No lungs definatley don't. that's why we have cillia in our lungs and hairs in our noses.

For the villification, its there. It goes back to the beginning of pot prohibition and the belief that being stoned makes you stupid. It's been frowned on since the US thought that black jazz musicians might get a little uppity and feel they deserved a better place in white society.

Look at the prison population in the US. the sentences handed out for pot possesion. Children removed from their homes because of marijuanna possesion. Not industrial scale quantities either.

Looks at the response here on this forum when someone who's known to imbibe posts something disliked by those that don't. They're asked if they're high or told to go smoke another.

If I say, hey I'm going for some beers after work, no problem. If I were to tell my employer I was going for a hoot after work that'd be a different story entirely.

They can't grow them as well as the trees and bushes though.

actually yes they can. They can make them even better. They can remove the toxins, they can make the need to clear fields and grow trees and bushes not necessary.

Are you high? lol...

Justifying rec usage as medicinal is a joke. If you stub your toe or have a headache, reticfy it with one of numerous other methods. Trust me, you truly don't want a justifiable ailment.

uhm, no not high. I'm at work and so I'm on ritalin at the moment cause maryjane villification, yo.

what is rec use? Cause that's pretty much why I use it so in my recreational time I can get stuff done instead of being all squirrelly and shiny.

and what is wrong with enjoying a get together with friends and having a couple of tokes? Why is it wrong but sitting around throwing aback a few beers is ok?

I'll thank the morality police to butt out of my life...glass houses and all that, eh?

I will not relinguish my position without mutiparti verification and numerous credible links with proven results and the names of at least four nobel prize winners. Your sentence was lifted directly from industry propaganda.
Isn' it true that for many years you have been a pharmasuetical representative selling drugs directly to school children?

So half a 10mg IR methylphenidate in the late afternoon wouldn't work eh? It has to be weed?

Send me some samples. I ain't waiting hours at the quacks office for your factory stuff.

Probably could, if I begged my doctor for a larger prescription. But given that Ritalin is highly abused, he may not allow it. BTW it's 20 mg /day. half a dose would be 10 and might not have any effect.

back to: If I choose to sit around on a weekend evening and have a few tokes with my friends, what's the difference between that and throwing back a few beers? and why should it matter what I choose to imbibed for recreational purposes? Pretty sure that those that feel all uppity about such things have very very large closets themselves.

There's research that suggests that those who use certain drugs are really just self medicating. So, depending on the drug of your choice you might be compensating, or trying to fix something already broken. For you, it sounds like there's nothing that pot is going to fix for you since you didn't enjoy the feeling. good news!
I remember that it did make me sleepy but I would lay there and twitch. The thing I didn't like was this feeling that I was not in control of my thoughts. They just ran all over the place and could not focus on one thing at all. Didn't like that.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Why do you need to argue it is for medicinal purposes?

OMG, how'd you find me out? I also used my daughter to sell at the library. We hired her friends and we made a killing. Living large now of the proceeds in a village in some remote paradise, driving my expensive SUV through the forest I plan to cut down and burn for the hell of it while imbibing all types of recreational drugs, etc. MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Want me to come and pick you up in my jet?

Because I do take it for medical purposes too. I take it for ADHD in the evenings.

Not too deep even though I'd like to expound on the symbolic imagery and metaphor but no,,,it actually did turn him into an iguana. :).

oh, well could have been worse.

I forgot to add that Ritalin has some side effects to my reply post to Petros. One of which I have to be very careful of: loss of appetite and weight loss. I've struggled most of my adult life to attain a healthy 120lbs. I'd prefer not to loose what I've gained.


here's the list of COMMON side effects.
Common side effects of Ritalin include nervousness, agitation, anxiety, sleep problems (insomnia), stomach pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, palpitations, headache, vision problems, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, sweating, skin rash, psychosis, and numbness, tingling, or cold feeling in your hands or feet.

I've taken psyche drugs before during a dark spell in my life. Am familiar with what they can produce. You have my sympathy. My oldest daughter has had a problem maintaining a healthy weight. She has Graves disease and has had her thyroid removed so she has to take medicine the rest of her life. She was my little one as a baby weighed 3-10 at birth.
