I smoke marijuana daily from 71 to 8485 and I manage to graduate high school and get a college degree etc. and work and all that stuff and relationships with women ..you name it ..a fairly normal life I was just stoned for most of it but I have seen marijuana make people lazy couch potatoes
Alcohol on the other hand in my immediate family and extended family and friends has at times been devastating and affects everybody
People here on free republic still associate marijuana with left-wing hippies
which is just not the case where I live in the south
alcohol is far more dangerous and has far more implications in our culture than marijuana does
I’d be in favor of a prohibition of hard liquor but I realized it would never work I don’t like alcohol although I enjoy the taste of most alcohol and I do not like how it makes people act it has the potential for destruction
But it’s use is accepted basically worldwide except Muslim countries were they still drink just on the down low
People are going to alter their reality one way or another I believe they always have once they figured out how to do it
I’ve used the legal gummies available in my state. The only use I’ve made of them is to sleep and relieve pain.
There’s a formula known as Rick Simpson Oil or RSO. It is specifically concocted to deal with pain, everything from my mildly painful arthritis to cancer. It isn’t perfect and I use it rarely, maybe once every month or two. Compared to opiates though, it is far less scary and has few side effects.
I awake from 7-8 hours of restful sleep a bit groggy. A big mug of coffee and I’m clear headed again.
A high population is a compliant population. That being said cannabis and hemp have legit medical uses. But granted, it is used mostly just for people to get high. Delta 8 skirts around the laws by not being active decarbed THC and is just below “hot” levels of thc.
Highly recommended for migraine sufferers, of which I am one. Once the eye halos start a few drags from a THC vape and it vanishes in minutes. Otherwise I am laid up all day. And I have personally witnessed the effect CBD (does not get you high) has on epilepsy.
Stay away from flipping weed. That’s my thoughts.
I had my brushes with weed when I was young, haven’t been around it in many years now. Tried CBD oil, gummies and cream, no discernible effect.
I do have a question, though.....why does smoking weed smell like skunk today? it didn’t back in my day. It had a distinctive smell, but it wasn’t skunky.
You get stoned on this stuff and it’s relatives, there is no doubt about that. I first heard about it about a year and a half ago in the local Raleigh media. It is interesting how this has flown under the radar with nary a peep from anyone in authority. I have been waiting for the moral panic to crop up, but now I am not sure it ever will. Even kratom has been more controversial than delta 8/9/10/HHC, etc.
