Fail on that idea

Cannabis usually worsens some things like executive function and face reading

Cannabis is quite specific in its medical actions: anxiety, anti cancer, eye problems etc etc

There is that to.


That doesn't really prove anything, it's just a bunch of claims stated as fact with no scientific backup.

Well you did make the general statement that marijuana is bad in the long run.....and I am sure it is for some people, but that is not completely accurate for everyone.

I started smoking weed in 1st grade, and I feel a lot worse when I don't have it. It helps me relax in social settings and to not be afraid to talk to people. When I don't have it, I don't want to do anything because of the problems my actions might cause. When I have it, I am not afraid to take risks (this helps a lot in chess tournaments too).

It might be just me, or an autistic trait, but it seems like I am afraid of even the slightest thing going wrong, so I avoid changes in routine as much as possible. I think of the rest of the world as crazy audacious lions mindlessly killing and eating without considering the consequences, and I am just a quiet scavenger who mooches off lion kills.

I thought I was young when I started in the 7th grade. We gave a fifth grader and his friends who wanted smoke with us a bag of organo and cigarette tobaco mix then we told them it was weed. They came back the next day trying to mooch more "weed" from us. The guy still tells people my friends gave him marijuna when he was 11 and how he got high before school. :P :lol: :roll:

Well that is a bit f*cked up but I guess that is why its a good idea to be familier with what weed looks like.

A claim like 'never argue with an idiot, they will always beat you with experience?'

Is that bad science too?

It is interesting you say this. I wonder if it is something unique to the diesel strains, because New York Diesel has been the best for me so far.

My experience was similar to the OP but I quit after a year and now just smoke rarely...

I smoked last night how ever and I find myself stimming a whole lot more when I smoke.

'Smoking' is not normally a health or medical procedure. The act of smoking will include the ingestion of CO2 CO3 and hundreds of other unwanted substances.

Tinctures are used in a medical environment. My Granny used to sell it when she worked in a Apothacary (Pharmacy or chemist shop)

And smokers cough is another form :wink: :arrow:

The 'first' world is way behind the ancient world, which traditionally and presently only use hash, the collection of trichomes or crystals.

Here in the west we smoke bud.....

I had a friend who bought a bag system from Canada that made bubble hash. It was a series of bags that filtered resisns by filling the bag with ice water then mix it with a big drill mixer the bag worked like a filter. You put in clipings from a harvested bud. I never seen him make it but I know it involved ice water and the clipping from his grow op that he used a big drill mixer to stir it up. It was a way for him to make money off his trimmings and waste. If he left the clippings in the water too long the resin was not as sticky and made for crumbly bubble hash and it was harder to sell.

He would also make blue honey. You take some magic mushrooms clean them then wait for them to dry and put them in some pure honey (No water added) you let the mushrooms sit in the honey for a couple months covered up in a cool dry place until the honey turns dark blue. You then take the mushrooms out after the honey picks up a blue color. You put the honey on any food or drink you like and eat it. I never tried it but he and his girlfriend swore by it since it made them trip their asses off.
