"Rosenfeld said he has never gotten high from the 10 joints he smokes daily and believes his body consumes it as a muscle relaxant, pain reliever, and anti-inflammatory agent. Diagnosed when he was 10 with multiple hereditary exostoses, a genetic condition in which painful bone tumors multiply throughout the body, Rosenfeld said his first doctors had warned he might not live past his teenage years. "This is not the harmful drug the government makes it out to be and the government has been lying to us, all these decades," Rosenfeld said in an interview. He underwent several surgeries to remove the tumors and was prescribed a morphine derivative and various other addicting narcotics. While experimenting with cannabis during his college years, he discovered he was able to sit for longer periods without pain and his tumors were decreasing in number."
Whom will you believe? Harry lock up the darkies Anslinger, or The Creator?
I am surprised that he claims he never got high. However, I have personally witnessed first time tokers who didn't realize how good they felt until they thought about it. It is a very mild high. Heavy smokers probably get nothing more than a gentle buzz akin to 2 cups of coffee, only more relaxing than stimulating.
I'm also surprised he is smoking the pot rather than eating it. Eating it has always been associated with a "body high" as apposed to a "head high" with smoking it. I would thing eating it would be more effective on the body.
The thing about marijuana is there is a plateau high you reach & can't go beyond, no matter how much more you smoke. That plateau high is drastically reduced for a regular toker. There is some anecdotal evidence that changing varieties smoked will give a better high temporarily.
Rosenfeld might not be getting much of a buzz, but I'll bet he is a very relaxed person.
