bbb Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Will it cure the malady of grown men who are scared of dogs and won't shut up about St Bonaventure in Syracuse threads ? Smoke it up BBB, maybe your fail rate on joke posts will decrease. I like the ones where you cry about Mead. Silly beeeeeeeeech. I see you're back to being a dick. And, I was just going to compliment you in another thread. A. I've never been scared of a dog in my life. If you like dogs that kill kids, so be it. B. You won't shut up about UNC in a Syracuse thread. At least you're like everybody else there - I'm sure you didn't go to that school, either. C. Fail rate - yeah, right...............I've posted once about Mead - thanks for being so attentive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proud of you, finally a logical comeback with just enough snark. Joke fail rate up to 12% now. Keep it up, let's turn this thing around. Knock off the alcoholic who throws shade at stoners bit. It's really sad, some of us never had to hit rock bottom. Edited July 22, 2016 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Mich Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Here is a related NFL story from January Goodell: NFL would consider allowing medical marijuana http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/01/23/commissioner-roger-goodell-marijuana/4797267/ The NFL doesn't seem much closer to recognizing medical cannabis benefits. http://www.forbes.com/sites/debraborchardt/2016/07/22/nfl-to-name-new-medical-chief-bringing-hope-for-cannabis-concussion-treatment/#31abf2c4247a One problem facing the players is that there haven’t been any studies to support their thesis and anecdotal evidence. Dr. Stuart Titus of Kannalife Sciences said that to date there has only been animal testing. However, he did point to a UCLA study on young adults that had suffered traumatic brain injury. Of the 450 in the study, the patients that had been regular cannabis users were 80% more likely to survive a traumatic brain injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that the pot heads in that study actually died but nobody noticed because their brain functions did not change measurably from their base line?

As much as your comments are truly moronic, it is still somehow comforting to know that even in our current societal chaos, brought on by the failed policies of Hillary and Obama, you will be there to post horseschit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like asking Hilary to investigate the security of her own server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 This is what happens when a bunch of stoners try their hand at marketing. A word of advice. Try to refrain from indulging in your product before creating a commercial for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclosporine is a concoction of big pharma designed to make money first and cure a few things as an afterthought. Pot cures everything. Can you see why bob would tell his kids about pot and keep evil cyclosporine a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Mich Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 It is an insincere question I believe but just in case I am misreading you I will answer the cyclosporine question For most of the lives of anyone over 10 years old, marijuana has been vilified by our government, and thus by teachers in our schools. People have been told for years that this is a recreational substance that was dangerous and should be avoided....just say no to drugs included cannabis. Today we are learning that it has tremendous medicinal potential. So it is necessary to explain that duality to some children that have gotten mixed messages over time. Should they think someone they know that uses cannabis is still a good person or are now they bad? Cyclosporine has never been included as recreational or bad when children were taught to 'just say no to drugs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Mich Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 If Weed isn't highly addictive, why can't Josh Gordon or Aldon Smith quit, despite facing a lifetime ban? By 'highly addictive' they mean that a higher percentage of people have a problem with the substance than have with a lower addictive substance. Heroin is more highly addictive than cannabis because a higher percentage of regular users of heroin develop a problem with heroin than do regular users of cannabis develop a problem with cannabis. People that do develop a problem with a substance may still have a big problem however. This may be the case with those players or it may not. I don't know. It is possible that they like using it, know most users beat the testing system, and then failed to beat the testing system. Additionally, the effects from withdrawal of different drugs is often considered when discussing how addictive it is for a dependent user. Cannabis withdrawal symptoms are so mild that for years people have argued whether or not there even were withdrawal symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Medical marijuana been legal in WA for quite awhile. Small business owner near me had terrible neuropathy in foot and had been prescribed opiates. She was required to be tested to insure she was taking, not selling, the drugs. She hated them as they made her fuzzy-headed. She switched to prescribed cannabis (liquid) and has not needed anything else in years. Also know of someone who had chronic hiccups, which can be debilitating. Went on for weeks. Dr. prescribed anti-spasm meds, relaxants, all kinds of stuff which did nothing but knock him out all day, then when he woke the spasms returned. In desperation he went to pot store, described what effect he was looking for to clerk (they are highly educated in the various strains and effects), went home, lit up, first hit - hiccups gone. For good. The stuff you get in the stores is not laced with crap or parsed out with herbs and other garbage, so it's quite strong.

A little goes a long way i would be much better with this if people were getting "prescriptions" for the stuff that really needed it. The whole process is a joke. When I got my card I asked how business was. She said great! I asked why. She said 4/20 is coming up. How do you feel about it bringing legalized for recreational use? Also what do these people do when they travel out of state? Edited July 30, 2016 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
