I have been smoking pot since I was about 14. I had a Biology teacher that grew his own and sold me some. I had/have a lot of high strung anxiety due to some stuff from my childhood. When I turned 8 years old sleeping became an issue for me. The doctor/therapist at the time prescribed me some anti anxiety meds and sleeping pills to help relieve my angst and the insomnia. The next several years I felt like I was always struggling physically. Like everything about me was 100 times heavier and simple tasks like chores/work/sports were now giant physical efforts for me. It did relieve my anxiety but my brain still ruminated constantly. Smoking pot helped slow my thoughts down enough for me to do something with all my mental energy. I recognized this and stopped taking the meds that I had been on for far to long. My grades went from fair to pretty damn good over the next few years and so did my passion, growth, and outlook on life. At the time, for me, it boiled down to two choices.
1- 2 small pills in the am, 1 small pill at lunch, and 2 small pills at night. Feel tired and shitty all day. 2- Smoke some pot, embrace the lifestyle and all that comes with it. Two was a better choice for me at the time. Dealing with my folks hassling me about smoking and the inconvenience it created in daily life was easier than fighting the fog the pills brought on. Strain is not something I have a choice in when purchasing. I do prefer Sativa I am not advocating children smoking pot or anything of that nature. I am speaking about my own personal experience and reflective opinion. Grant Last edited by weatherboi; 07-02-2010 at 12:52 PM. Reason: forgot to talk about strain |

I don't think that the intent of the thread when Jess started it was to exclusively talk about the different strains. To be perfectly honest, I have no clue most times as to the details of what I buy - I could care less - its either gonna take a little bit (the more expensive) to get the job done - or more. Either way, I'm good. Additionally, some of the most expensive, proclaimed to be all that and the bag of chips was no better (or worse) than the cheap stuff - at least to me and the way my body responds. I'm sure its different for everyone. Additionally, I would think it would be the place to talk about the legalization efforts in states that don't currently have a medical law on the books. I do think that most of the comments have been positive in perhaps dismissing some of the myths surrounding people who imbibe.

It may be that the demand is for certain strains and if it were me starting a business in a new state, I would look to established folks for the proper guidance. [/QUOT strains are not my primary interest. tho in MM states, different strains are used for different types of aliments. sativas tend to help with depression etc, indicas with pain, sleep issues etc. my main interest is how people using it for medical relief. and yes, discussing legal issues and how to work for more legal states would be great. yes, I have talked with many local growers and have been provided with a lot of info. for those who are growing, are you growing in soil or hydro? wolf |

Im of the mind everyone is responsible for themselves...drugs have existed for thousands of years and are not going away...if i can kill myself with ciggarettes why cant we manage our pain with marijuana....at least marijuana has medicinal and i would argue emotional and mental benefits...
I think that Marijuana should be totally legal for all uses and that people need to regulate themselves...thats the way adults in society should be treated, not penalized for trying to feel better... |

Pot, weed, mary jane, etc...
As a person with anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), I have found it immensely helpful to smoke marijuana to calm myself when I have felt out of control, impulsive, or like I wanted to self harm (not suicidal, self harm, there's a difference! Thank God those days are over!)
The only negative side effect I have come up with is that I now memory problems! Big time. And from what I understand that is common with smoking weed. But I still think it should be legal, or at least the medical use definition expanded to include mental health issues such as I listed above.

Oh, hell yes.
Let's talk about a few new California Laws. I now have a letter that allows me to possess/grow more than the County limitations. You see, they have figured out that there are some conditions that are very unpredictable; Compassion laws have been put in place that will keep folks from pre-determining the amount of Medicinal relief I may need. There are a host of new ways to indulge this Herb. Anywhere from a dropper of Elixir, lol...to a birthday cake! I just got a Hybrid clone. It's a strain of Blue Dream and Hash. Can't wait to see what it grows up to be!

Day my friend........I am a tad confused here.......
Blue Dream I understand, but hash is made from cannabis. So you must be talking two different strains of cannabis. Do you know the name of the second strain?

No.
Me n Sabra were hella laughing about that cuz both of us completely forgot the full name, but had to have it cuz I already haz a Head Band, a Train Wreck, etc...out back now. She named off that one and I jumped on it. I been 'sampling' stuff since then, and I'm pretty sure Sabra was supposed to be in charge of remembering stuff on our field trip that day. Funny I can remember the part number to a clutch cable for a CBR600R, or a KZ1000P Series...but ask me about last week in the 'canna-candy' store and I go blank. What was the question?

At NIH, there were many many folks who were smoking or taking it in some form or fashion when my sister was there. The treatment plans that the docs take you right next to death and bring you back, the people need to recover. And recovery is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Science can only do so much, and is limiting humans. I am all for the legalization of it. |

I would never drink another drop of alcohol if they would legalize.

I just want to say I'm jealous for those who live in states that legalized it. You lucky peeps!! I love this thread. Now back to what I was doing.
