  1. As the decades pass, if I'm alone or in a crowd I no longer get paranoid. 1972 to 2014 - 42 years for me albeit at a mush less rate than I did as a teenager.

     

    Never fired from a job because of it, never in a car accident because of it, never in a brawl because of it.

     

     

    You win the Derek Jeter good guy award for pot smoking!!!!

     

    I want to win the one for drinking, because I have:

     

    Never fired from a job because of it, never in a car accident because of it, never in a brawl because of it.

     

    I have peed myself though.

  2. Seems that with more people arming themselves in Detroit, there is less crime. Can't just let the bad guys have guns. Need mandatory minimums on using guns that are not legal in crimes of at least 25 years.

    Little bit of both here:

     

    From the Detroit News:

    "Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings.

    ...Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon. I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed.

    I can’t say what specific percentage is caused by this, but there’s no question in my mind it has had an effect.”

    Detroit's crime rate is still disastrously high, but it is dropping. Of course, don't waste your breath telling any of this to the anti-2nd Amendment nutjobs. They're still running around, yapping about how gun control works.

    “Our position is, more guns equals more crime,” Horwitz said “These are complicated issues, but the empirical evidence shows the states with the lowest gun ownership and the tightest restrictions have the fewest instances of gun violence."

  3. Thanks much for discussing. Sorry to hear that you have this affliction and am glad the marijuana helps. As I mentioned, the legalizations should help push the research, hopefully it also helps prescibing physicians step up and discuss their experiences with patients also.

     

    Specialists might be different, not in the pocket of the prescription med companies who pad their incomes. They may need to smoke to promote it. I just don't see doctors saying smoking marijuana is good for you as any kind of a long term solution. Smoking just about anything is bad for you. There is risk involved in anything.

  4. Or I can go to the sports bar for games not shown on TV (usually get 2 Bills games a year on normal TV) and pay a hell of a lot less

     

    Do you not drink? If I go to the bar I spend at least $50. Then my wife wants to go too. So that is $85. DTV is like $240 for the Sunday Ticket, 340 for the sunday ticket Max. $240 for 16 games is like 3 beers at the bar, 15 bucks, it is way more economical to buy the sunday ticket and watch at home.

  5. It's amazing someone as perceptive as you doesn't know the difference between heel and heal. Must have been a typo.....yeah, that's it.

     

    You still on that, again, I already responded to a BS response to that. Pretty sad if you get a kick out of this. Shows how actually unintelligent you are.

     

    I have Crohn's disease which attacks the digestive track. Opiates, by and large, slow (or stop) peristalsis which is not good for someone with a digestive issue.

     

    Best wishes for you. I know several young people who have this affliction. These young people are so responsible and have a true understanding of what their body can handle. I wish nothing bad on anyone, but I do wish I got hangovers. I would not drink as much then, I would hope.

     

    What is your go to food?

  6. Yeah, I do nothing important at all. At least you admit that you don't. I really hope you don't seeing you don't know the difference between heal and heel.

    I do very important stuff, at least in my mind, and my employer's eye, 18 years, I have worked in the Oracle field, some as a consultant, some as a developer, but now I focus on supply chain as a BA and help to take advantage of the Oracle Apps technology to ensure we are managing our software, warehouses, you name it, in an efficient way. I make sure we make stuff on time to ship it so we do not house excessive inventory through technology.

     

    No time to re-read stuff. I guess I am a heel, and pot does not heal. I am busy making and saving money, you obviously have the time to make sure you never make more money and like wasting time.

  7. Imagine if the trash collectors didn't show up for work. They are important, and they can be stoned and work

     

    They would be fired, right on the spot, just about anyone would be fired right on the spot.

     

    I would sue the garbage company if I knew they were high, it is not safe at all, especially if they are driving. You have no idea what idea how to be an adult if you believe this is appropriate behavior in public, in neighborhoods, where children are.

  8. Has your wife tried any cannabis topicals? Some can find relief by just rubbing in cannabis infused topical oils - coconut or olive oil for instance. They can provide near instant relief from muscle spasms for some. There are many recipes and how-to videos online.

     

    Also, assuming that marijuana refers to one medicine is a wide misconception. There are probably 1000 identified and recently bred strains of cannabis. Some may be 24% THC and 1% CBD along with varying percentages of the less studied cannabinoids. Some may be 50-50 and some may contain predominantly CBD with very little THC. In non-medical cannabis states it is difficult to find a consistant supply of any strain. That is certainly problematic but if you know anyone growing, I am certain you could work something out as far as uninterrupted supply of medicine.

     

    Do some more research and you likely could find a strain 'designed' for MS sufferers. Also, I have read of patients taking powerful cannabis concentrates at bedtime that can continue to be effective throughout the day without the fogginess.

     

    I need to do more research then. Georgia does not allow medical marijuana though, I know that. Event if it did,unless an MS supported group that would provide MS medicine would provide the topicals, it would likely be out of pocket I would think and not covered on a prescription plan either. I doubt the medical plans we have cover that. But, I do not know if they don't........I would think if they did that her doctors at the Shepard Center would push her towards that when it does become legal here (likely soon for medical). Just as long as it involves not intoxicating people.

     

    I highly doubt it Hemp will ever be actual medicine. It will only ever be a pain reliever, and I did just read about the oils, might help with burns, fungus and stuff, I highly doubt it will ever cure disease. They would have figured that out already.

  9. Security: I don't even know where to start. There is so much wrong in your post.

     

    You seem to be willfully ignorant. Did you look at the article from the link that you just provided? If you did you would notice they mention many of the same medical benefits I mentioned earlier. Somehow you didn't absorb those from the article.

     

    Think about this for just a moment before you begin typing. If the cannabinoids can be helpful when extracted from cannabis might they also be effective while still a part of the cannabis?

     

    Addiction to cannabis can happen. Technically there are withdrawal symptoms upon quitting, a main criteria when defining addiction. Compared to many prescription drugs however, the withdrawal symptoms experienced when quitting are very, very mild. They are probably equivalent to giving up, say coffee. Do some research on kicking opiate based medicines or alcohol. People have died kicking those.

     

    Again take a second to consider that people are driving all around you while on their prescription medicines. Many of these people are technically addicted to very powerful medicines with side effects that often include drowsiness, blurred vision, dizziness, and impaired muscle coordination. Almost all medicines take a little getting used to, especially opiate medicines. Cannabis medicines are no different. Once a person has experienced the effects they can usually adapt and drive. If no one could drive while on medication in this country the roads would be pretty empty.

     

    It is unfortunate that you are unable to put yourself in another man's shoes, so to speak, and understand what constant high level pain can do to a person's life. I hope you are able to grin and bear it if and when it happens to you. Everyone has aches and pains as we age but some medical conditions can cause crippling pain. After a period of time of high level pain that generally prevents sleep, people will turn to medication. Few want to be dependent on pain medication but they cannot really interact with family and friends and after a time, the choices become pretty grim. The problem with the other powerful pain medicines is that they cause serious side-effects for many. The side effects from long term use of the cannabis medicines are much easier to withstand.

     

    It also said they are trying to take out the "high". The pot that people are speaking of here to use as medicine is way different, don't be intellectually dishonest. It is absolutely fine to use pot as medicine, but the dishonesty is astounding. I fully comprehended the article.

     

    Dude, I can put myself in someone else's shoes, my wife has MS. Pot helps her, but it also makes her high, and incapable of doing her job (which should could do, just in some different fashion, but ONLY IF NOT HIGH)

     

    The pot SMOKING community just wants to get high, they use the medicinal attributes as a way to legitimize getting high

  10. Umm, marijuana as medicine, hilarious. So, for people who get weed for medicine, do you just want to call all of them disabled then? You can't smoke weed (well, you can, I know people who do) legally and drive, and then go to a job.

     

    If you are prescribed pot as medicine, and you become dependent on it (National Institute on Drug Abuse says 10 percent of pt smokers are dependent on pot), then you will be come also become dependent on government, hence, the tax payers, and I sure as hell don't want to pay for people to sit home and get high.

     

    There are other medicines. Pot does not heel you, it gets you high and makes your pain go away, just temporarily. Hate to say it, but life itself, being a person, getting older, having ailments, all involve having pain, and everyone wants to just stop feeling pain, then go ahead and just kill yourself then.

     

    There are currently no accepted medical benefits of pot, other than you are high and you forget about pain, you can take aspirin for that and not be high.

  11. Let's try an experiment...

     

    Asian carp!

     

     

     

    "Rich people don't care that I have the writing skills of a sea cucumber!" Playing the gross income card always works well here... :lol:

     

    Haha, I rarely do, but they don't act like they don't know what I am talking about, and don't focus on that, they focus on content, unlike the simple minded people here who obviously already know where they will be in 5 years, pretty much the same place they currently are.

  12. okay, I haven't smoked anything and I don't understand that at all.

     

    People who just say you are paranoid simply are just NOT that important of people to be concerned with things can truly affect society.

     

    Meant to have a NOT.

     

    I am saying that those calling me paranoid are basically unimportant people who have menial jobs, and offer little to society other than taking up space. The space they take up now is small, so they cannot understand the Macro world at all.

  13. So you didn't ask me a question, but you did ask me a question... which is it? Come on, admit it, you're totally high right now. How else could you craft such a weird position?

     

     

     

    What's mind boggling is your sentence construction, forget my logic. And, for the record, I haven't complained once in this thread. All I've done is make fun of your paranoid fantasies that are not based in any objective reality.

     

    Which again makes me wonder, what exactly are you smoking and are you willing to share?

     

    You responded to a thread where I said answer these questions, you saw all of them, chose to comment, so unless you are like 4 years old, you most certainly acknowledged that questions were asked.

     

    Again, you are bad at this, an obvious low income earner who does menial stuff for employment, That is what I take from your answers.
