Announcement: I am now a medical marijuana patient

Post Reply New Topic

You know what's irritating right now? Reading about people smoking drugs to get high when I'm still sitting here struggling to breathe for over a month now with this goddamn pneumonia and now bronchitis that just won't seem to go away and I have NEVER smoked in my whole entire f'ng life. And someone asks me what is wrong with smoking drugs to get high?! Are you serious?! All I want to do is be able to return to my normal healthy life of work and school and I'm getting people asking me these kinds of questions. Unbelievable. I'm blocking any more emails from this thread because just reading it pisses me off.

^To be fair you did choose to come into a marijuana thread, were that is bound to be discussed.

And how am I supposed to know you have bronchitis and that it causes the thought of people smoking cannabis to get high as opposed to medicinally to be unbearable? Think about edibles or tinctures instead, no smoke required there.

Why would I need emails about weed? It's a material thing I keep around just like tea. It's not a drug if you don't treat it that way, it was probably in your grandparents medicine cabinet.

Nurses are awesome and I salute you!

I'm very sorry for your respiratory problems (if I read that right). However, you're a nurse,. You don't know everything through your profession. You keep doctors from killing patients and making sure the patient is comfortable. Without having consumed cannabis, however, you're not really in a position to gauge whether it's healthy or not healthy for you. Conventional wisdom says that, yes, smoking marijuana is hazardous to your health and you'd be correct. Smoking cannabis is the least healthy way for you to consume it. All that hot smoke filling your lungs stinging as it goes down forcing you to cough...yeah, seems pretty unhealthy. But, that's the extent of it. There's no metals, no carcinogens, just irritation and scalding.

Sure, there are those susceptible to forms of respiratory illnesses like COPD, emphysema, asthma or whatever else there is but by and large, they're predisposed to having those conditions from a wide number of environmental and personal factors.

You have ailments. That doesn't mean it was caused by any one thing and that others shouldn't be allowed to do something you're sensitive to. I'm trying to eat a little better because I'm obese and have elevated blood pressure. I'm not going to scold someone for eating at McDonalds because I'm on a diet. So too, you shouldn't be complaining that others are smoking marijuana for either its medicinal effects, its recreational effects or some combination of the two.
