Wonder if this could be used along the lines of biologics in auto-immune diseases.

They already have other non-hallucinogenic cannabid oils that are different ones, in pill form, for other medical problems right now, for people and pets. They work.

The endocannabid system that is in every person and animal is vastly overlooked and unused today by modern medicine. There are multiple products that help with repair and give pain relief without any concern of getting high.

There is no need to inhale hot ash!

Vaporizers and edibles work just fine.

You may want to educate yourself because statements like that tend to reflect more of an emotional reaction than a reasoned argument.

Happy 4Th Of July.....Independence Day... I am out of here!

***Weed smokers want to go to sleep not bash in windows***

Saw a news report last night on ABC in which some guy was attacking people with a large plastic pipe, in Denver. The news report said there had been an upturn in crime as drifters from all over the USA were coming to Colorado for one thing, MJ.

I’ve been personally close to a few heavy pot smokers in my time. Given a choice, I’ll take Alzheimer’s disease

Evidently, you haven't been personally close to anyone with Alzheimer's disease.

” But THC can also bind to them in much the same way, and when they do, they start messing with your brain’s ability to communicate with itself. The can be a good and a bad thing, because while you might forget something important or suddenly be incapable of swinging a baseball bat, you’ll probably feel amazing, and want to eat all the snacks.”

Sounds like it’s not all good.

My husband and I recently started taking coconut oil. We also give it to our dogs.

Ditto - I put a tsp of coconut oil in my coffee (black) with a good dash of cinnamon

So instead of having Alzheimers you end up a pothead.

All it ever did for me was make me paranoid and self conscious and uncomfortable.

Hemp seed oil? Thanks! I’ll look into it.

I prefer hempseed "crushed hempseed" it tastes like crushed sunflower seed - I use it on salads and/or a tablespoon to chew

“Do you think inhaling hot ash into your lungs and capillaries is healthy?”

That’s what makes it so stupid to pretending smoking it is a cure for anything.

Makes me feel relaxed. Too relaxed to get productive work done, unfortunately. If I were to get a quarter oz. I’m pretty much preparing to take a short vacation.

They will, they will come up with a tweak on the molecule and patent it.

The big trouble with this, unlike most other anti-Alzheimer’s test drugs, is the SIDE EFFECTS. Might as well already have come down with the Alzheimer’s, as to have to be on THC *ALL OF THE TIME*. No driving for you, no operating anything dangerous.

And nobody should complain about that. If somebody truly is on the way out, nothing short of suicide should be denied as a measure of mercy. Not even heroin, if it would work. I am not sure that this is the scenario under discussion though.

I add cacao and cinnamon to my coffee. I like the idea of putting coconut oil in, too.

Well, the marijuana will mess up your short-term memory too, but I suppose that’s not as bad as severe alzheimer’s where you don’t even know what year it is.
