Chef Jim Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am busy making and saving money, you obviously have the time to make sure you never make more money and like wasting time. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am not a doctor but I would like to make a public service announcement that could save you a great deal of time and money some day. If you are ever present with someone that has taken 'too much' cannabis, whether medical or otherwise, and they start to become panicky there is a simple phrase that will save you a trip to the Emergency Room. Repeat the following very true statement to the afflicted and to yourself: "No one has ever died from an overdose of cannabis. You have taken a strong dose but you just need to relax and the bad side effects will fade away soon." The person may appear as if they have overdosed. They may have but there is nothing they will do for you at the ER except to try to calm you and the patient down and have the patient relax until the uncomfortable effects wear off. They may give the patient a sedative if they are really freaking out. This reported increase in ER visits related to cannabis usage is generally newbie users getting too strong of a dose, fearing that they may OD and die, and going to the ER due essentially to an anxiety attack. Cannabis overdose should just result in falling asleep in the recliner. Stay calm. You make a wonderful point here and it is helpful -- by no means am I making light of it with the following, I just couldn't resist as it's one of the funniest scenes from a highly underrated show: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronc24 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can curb pain, temporarily, That is not heeling. I agree. My dog heels and I've never seen pot do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 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. Damn, that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opiates, by and large, slow (or stop) peristalsis which is not good for someone with a digestive issue. I feel bad for you dude but I sometimes can't let a mistake slide. I believe it is called Krone's disease. Maybe autocorrect got you. Anyway, as you know diseases are often named after famous athletes, actors and politicians. Lou Gehrig's disease for example. Unlike Gehrig, famous jockey Julie Krone did not invent the disease named for her. Krone's messes with the digestive system as you mentioned and that will cause pained expressions on one's face. if you ever saw Julie Krone, that pained expression was a permanent look on her face. I'm not sure if she had the disease itself but the visual is helpful in describing the disease. It may not be fair to Julie but is it less fair than "Irritable Powell Syndrome" just because the guy is named Colin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot smoking shows do not get ratings for three reasons: 1. Non-pot smokers don't watch because they already get annoyed enough in real life 2. Many pot smokers have enough guilt about their bad and illegal habit that they don't want to remind themselves so they don't watch. I'm talking to you Red. 3. Even among the remaining fractional demographic, those pot heads who watch either don't remember when Nielsen calls because their short term memory is toast, they lie to Nielsen due to paranoia of exposing themselves as stoners, or their 68 year old parents with whom they still live answer and say they were watching Wheel of Fortune at that time.

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPinC Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It depends on the strain but yes. I was never a smoker or casual user of it until it was prescribed to me by a doctor. Opiates weren't an option and the other meds I have been on in the past really messed up my sleep schedule and appetite. It's been about 5 years now since I got the prescription and it's helped with my condition in countless ways. 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.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I can't speak to your experience or anyone else's, but my paranoia had nothing to do with cops, parents, wife, kids, or anyone else. I live alone, smoked it for nearly 40 years, and it just started making me feel like I wish I hadn't smoked it every time I did. it's like the old joke: 'doc, it hurts every time I do this'.....'don't do that'. 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. Do you know my thoughts on the legalization of pot? I'm 100% against it. You're reasons for being against it are just over the top stupid. do you support the legal selling of booze of any type? being against pots legalization is ridiculous and yet you speak of over the top stupid? If only our OP knew how to spell mary jane. . if only you knew a joke when you saw it. Edited July 17, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You haven't noticed the paranoia? It seems like every other time I hear somebody talk about their experience with pot on the radio or on a podcast, it's about the paranoia, and like Azalin, they decided to let it go............Same thing with me, and other people I know in my life. I wonder how much the paranoia has to do with the fact it is illegal? That has to play a part in it? If you are doing something that is "wrong" or was told is bad, it has to manifest itself differently in people's personalities. Demonization I would think plays paranoia psychologically. It is not all the phyis=al effects of the drug. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realized your full potential because of it. do you support the legal selling of booze of any type? Can't speak for Jim but two wrongs don't make a right. being against pots legalization is ridiculous and yet you speak of over the top stupid? Dude I think it is just the man keeping you down. After all pot is the answer to everything. Stained sink? Pot, Cancer? Pot, Flat tire? Pot. Get over your guilt or stop using it. You don't need the government to bless your illicit activities. You either need to stop them or accept that what you are doing is wrong. If it is legalized a lll you will have is a convenient escape goat to blame for your problems. Yes pot leads to addictions to other drugs, but I fear it is also leading to an addiction to government. if only you knew a joke when you saw it. He hasn't like smoked enough to like be able to like understand everything. I wonder how much the paranoia has to do with the fact it is illegal? That has to play a part in it?

It is not all the phyis=al effects of the drug. ?? Paranoia and guilt are different things but sometimes hard to tell apart. Guilt can create paranoia. Pot users are paranoid about getting caught not because of the illegality, but because they know they are doing something wrong. They may or may not fear legal repercussions, or their mom and dad kicking them out of the basement, or even facing up to what they could have become but never did; what they almost always fear is looking inwardly and addressing the fact that they have been doing something that is wrong to do. This is the crux of the problem with pot. Its usage basically tries to convince the user that pot use is not wrong. It gets almost all the way there but for some reason can't flip that final switch. The user still knows deep inside that this is wrong. The pot is strong enough to have the user fight fight fight the guilt, but thankfully not strong enough to ever defeat the guilt.

Come on man, exiting reality is perfectly normal behavior, and nothing to be ashamed of!! See all the winners coming out of the smoke shops?!?! It is the same for any bad habit. People hide heavy drinking, people hide most all drug use, today's cigarette smokers, the responsible one's who have not kicked the habit have been banned and now are looked at as stupid and they have to hide it, not the glorified pot smokers (well, the dumb ones), they want to smoke it everywhere and want everyone to know how cool they are that they smoke it, and you are actually dumb for not smoking it. Geesh, just get high at home and STFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) do you support the legal selling of booze of any type? being against pots legalization is ridiculous What do you mean by booze of any type? And comparing something that is already legal to something that for most of the country that is currently not legal is an assinine argument. Never fired from a job because of it, never in a car accident because of it, never in a brawl because of it. Bravo for you, What's your point? See I've never been in an accident because of booze so let's make driving drunk legal. I love the stoner logic.
