Medical Marijuana....

Here's the problem I have with what I've seen first hand with my own eyes friends or otherwise claiming to use it for pain and life management. I view cannabis as a natural holistic herb. Someone looking to heal naturally, manage pain without side effects should also consider the "other" things they could be doing to contribute to the illness and aggravating to pain. Smoking several packs of cigarettes a day, poor diet - massive amounts of sugar, not enough water etc. MJ can mask the pain, make life lighter but I also think its a good idea to take a holistic approach to all areas of your life.

I've seen too many people beat this medical/holistic drum when it comes to cannabis when the reality is they are addicted to it. Abuse in any form is still abuse. Of course I'd rather see a pot head then a pill head but thats another agenda. lol

I rarely smoke in the Daylight.
(I do not wish to have my clarity an faculties removed.)


Only when symptoms surface that I recognize as troublesome.
I've suffered for 3 days just for mowing one lawn.
I have one to do tonight...fucking wee.


I know someone right now who is on several anti-depressive medications.
She says that reefer helps, I told her to let her Doctors know.

They wrote her a script for it,
but there was something I had not yet picked up on.

She smokes all day long when she is not working.
Mind you her issues have caused her a lot of time off work this year.
I've spent a couple days over there for a length of time, and from what I am
observing ~ and in my personal opinion ~ the reefer is actually contributing
to her issue of depression. She has been diagnosed with anxiety and things
of the sort, and surely they thought the reefer would assist in these issues.
But just like any medication, it does not react the same for everyone.

Holistic approach in other areas of my life?


Not really, but I do command and demand that a peaceful atmosphere
surrounds me at all times; even Mrs Daywalker was informed when we
meshed together years ago...that fighting will not be allowed, yelling is out
of the question, etc. These things trigger my Children (aka my symptoms).
Even folks in mah love circle of friends will keep things from me that
they know are drama riddled, or that might make me sad...etc.


I love them for that,
even though I lovingly complain that 'no one tells me nuthin'.


I eat as I please, my limited mobility does not allow for 'exercise'
at all, long music sessions are my solace and this is where I reboot my
mind...messing around on sites like this and FB n stuff assists in keeping
my cognitive active. So I guess my response to this is yes, there are no
benefits to anything in excess, but no...applying an all encompassing
Holistic approach is not reality for many of us.

Gotta get ready for a visit to the Wizards again.
(aka Doc appointment)
Will have to make time to pick this up later
