Medical THC

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not a close minded person, I have seeing with meltdowns how thc drops help, my concern is that prolonged use of marijuana may cause withdrawal and other side effects. It's really about whether it works used everyday.
Same with psychedelics, or sex MDMA if it's in pure form it causes less bad experiences, but I wouldn't give daily doses under legalised scripts. I'd allow a little for social life exploration, obviously not to under 21 years of age.

Issue is manic depression and addressing long term social isolation from autism, but I don't believe drugs are the answer, bad experience or addiction are huge issues. It may also cause unwanted effects (maybe affect speech, motor at high dose over long time)
Whilst I've seeing that it is relief for cancer patients, ease their pain and rest....I think they can have it for few days but everyday, forever. Um

Apologise this message is badly written, I'm really tired and mentally drained but recent media exposure on Elon musk has made me think of reminding people to acknowledge that drugs do have side effects even though some claim it affects them differently.

Message: give me hugs not drugs
(I'm not opposed to legalised medical use, but I'm aware enough that long term exposure to any drugs gives time needed for effects to show)
Dosing on thc everyday, is no no. But for meltdown for PTSD and various reasons it's ok.

It becomes a Pragmatic thing to use THC ( commercially available in USA,etc.) in Its Indica form . To greatly decrease anxiety and stressed minds . Things that lead to meltdowns and shut downs . Various forms of these THC producing plants create different effects . Most all help anxiety . Research is a good thing. Study on this topic. Be a informed person, if you are considering applying this plant into your life. It works quite well in its closest to natural form .
People smoking it report more immediate effects than injesting this plant extact,or its derivatives . It rarely seems to create addictive behaviours for most users.Slurring speech is not regularily reported. Effect last generally a few hours on the average, some longer .It is also easy to develop a tolerance to this substance. Using any substance that might create relaxing effects,can be overdone ,if over used. But not using or abstaining from its use for two to three days . Will give you back closer to a persons original effects,that you recieved from the use of the substance . disclaimer:Not meant to be a medical opinion , check with your local medical or other provider for best advise.Or form your own opinions .
( Smoking maybe hazardous to any humans health)

Cannabis in its many forms can be an amazing tool in helping each of us deal many different mental issues, but it isn't for everyone. The nice thing about the medical marijuana industry today is that it has grown to the point where we as the patient are able to now have much more control over dosage compared to the old days. I know many people who eat edibles to help with anxiety and depression today because of knowing how much they were taking each time and feel more in control.

No, drugs are never the answer. They can however be the bridge that helps us eventually find the answer, or at least help us figure out what the problem really is. I have saved myself from falling into temporary insanity from anxiety and depression more than once by stopping long enough to smoke, relax for a few moments, and think at least somewhat rationally about what was bothering me at the time until I calmed down. If I hadn't I honestly don't know where I would be in my life right now in comparison, quite possibly in a much darker place above or below ground.

It's okay if we use THC (indica) sporadically to prevent meltdowns?! It doesn't make us drug abusers??

Using THC sporadically isn't drug abuse, it is using a specific drug for a specific purpose to attain a specific goal. Preventing or dealing with a meltdown or severe episode of anxiety is a very good goal.

Of course there is always the risk that when we take any drug that its usage could eventually evolve into full blown addiction and we become an abuser. I will use opioids as an example of this. I had a friend who got injured in an accident and had to take an opioid to help her with pain. It started out as her taking the drugs because of the pain, but she slowly devolved into full blown addict that couldn't live without the opioids long after her body had healed. She eventually couldn't live without the drugs, to the point where getting her next pill was all she cared about.

Cannabis is also something like alcohol in the sense that there are varying levels of usage for multiple purposes and goals. I know people who drink and/or smoke every day but I wouldn't classify them as an addict or an abuser, They have a glass of wine with their dinner or smoke a joint with their spouse after work to unwind after a day at work. They have one a day and don't have any desire or craving for more. I also know people who rarely drink or do drugs yet that I know are full blown addicts who would abuse whatever they crave if they gave in to temptation for even a moment. My grandfather was like that, sober for months and months until he would have a drink. Once he had that first drink he would lose all control and drink constantly until he would literally drink himself nearly to death and into the hospital.

^ That makes sense. Thank you!

How would we use THC to prevent a meltdown? If we feel one coming on, we should test a little bit out to see how it affects us?

I'll take both, thanks. Give me hugs and drugs.

I would definitely recommend testing different methods and and amounts to see what works best for you. I would also suggest doing these tests before you have to deal with a major meltdown so you know what effects you will experience and if they will be beneficial to you. For some people THC causes them anxiety while it relieves it for others, so best to know before it's too late.

I like to eat 20-30 mg of THC in edible form about an hour before I know I'm going out into the world and into a situation that I know will cause me to be overwhelmed and potentially meltdown. This method and dose works well for me because it allows me to maintain my mental clarity while relaxing my mind enough to keep me grounded from melting down. I like the effect from edibles, but it isn't for everyone because of how it interacts with their body. Edible THC binds with cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body while smoked THC binds with receptors in the brain and central nervous system. What this means basically is that edibles cause what can be described as a whole body high while smoking causes a mostly mental high.

There are also THC vape devices out in the legal market now which are quite helpful and nice, especially if you find that the edible effect isn't helpful or you prefer the more mental high effect. I have a friend who much prefers this method to edibles.
