I enjoyed a few goofy laughs in my early teens. Maybe 4 or 5.
Then after 20, pot made my heart palpitate and become incredibly anxious.
Only me could that happen to :)
Taken too many prescription drugs. Got suckered.
As for illegal, besides half a dozen pot uses, I did ONE line of coke, my throat went numb, I panicked and never used again :)
Now alcohol..that’s a demon’s drink that I have enjoyed too many times
Could very well be.
I have a family member who is a heavy “self medicater”. He remembers EVERY past and present event, every article he ever read and every episode of The Simpsons...verbatim.
Oh geesh..yet another miracle cure for marijuana. Cures cancer. Cures Alzheimers. Cures darn near anything and yet those pharmaceutical companies just can’t seem to make any decent medicine from it.
It is still a FDA Schedule 1, newly re-affirmed as such. Has no medicinal value and is nothing more than a recreational drug.
Better safe than sorry!
I’ve long thought the same about Cheetos.
They want to cure a memory destroying disease with a memory impairing drug? Seems counterintuitive.
Sorry, I can’t remember :)
I don’t care to partake of the evil weed but there’s no denying that it has great potential for diseases of the brain. There are over 30 receptors in the brain that can receive canabinoids, which means there are likely some tremendous benefits for certain debilitating conditions, aside from the known negatives and side effects.
For severe cases of autism an extract helps kids have fewer violent outbursts. And many Parkinson’s patients find benefit in reduced progression of the disease. If you’ve ever had a relative suffering from these type of conditions (I do) then something that shows benefit is not something you want to ignore.
"Pass the chips."
Actually it’s cue neuroscientific literacy for this one.
It’s a pipe dream.
Yeah, because when you have Alzheimer’s, you don’t know or care what’s going on. Dope surely will cure that. No doubt another useless study funded by tax drones for the care and feeding of useless researchers.
Oh shoot I forgot what I was going to say
“Soon it will be ubiquitous in backyard gardens. “
It is in mine. A nice Dakini Kush Indica strain. Every night at bedtime.
Gee, let’s let the Feds decide if its Free Men citizens, oops, I mean its Subjects, will be “allowed” to grow, harvest, eat, or sell a plant.
There’s no known cure for Alzheimers, but the Feds deny access to a possible cure....a plant.
The Tyrants sure know better than us what’s good for us./s

Oh, if only I could be like this, never having doubts about our “officials” and their motivations, taking whatever the bureaucracy says as Gospel, never finding my mind straying down dark alleys of suspicion.
Maybe when it’s time for me to have my Alzheimer’s, all these rogue brain cells in my head will die off and leave me basking in the sunshine of a spotless mind. I can only hope.
Uh huh. So now the drug that doesnt permanently affect your brain can FIX your brain?
That’s already proven with certain types of epilepsy.
My point is that marijuana is claimed to cure anything and everything by those who are it’s proponents.
To reiterate my tagline..
The the marijuana aficionado’s everything must evidence that marijuana is more than just a recreational drug. It is the magic elixir that cures everything.
I remain unconvinced, and this alleged study is another in a long line of “studies” whose sole purpose is to justify the mainstreaming of pot smoking.
