Chef Jim Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 8 hours ago, B-Man said: COLORADO KIDS PAY BIG PRICE FOR STATE’S DECISION TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA [UPDATED] The returns are in on Colorado’s decision to legalize marijuana: (1) Large amounts of money are being made thanks to legalization, privately and by the state; (2) “horrible things are happening to kids.” The quotation is from psychiatrist Libby Stuyt. She treats teens in southwestern Colorado and has studied the health effects of high-potency marijuana. Stuyt says: “I see increased problems with psychosis, with addiction, with suicide, with depression and anxiety” stemming from legalization in the state. Stuyt’s report won’t surprise anyone who has read Alex Berensen’s book Tell Your Children, which I discussed here. Berensen noted that over the past few decades, studies around the globe have found that THC, the active compound in cannabis, is strongly linked to psychosis, schizophrenia, and violence. He interviewed far-flung researchers who have documented the contribution of THC to serious mental illness. Now, are we seeing these effects in Colorado. Libby Stuyt’s report from ground zero is bolstered by data. The Washington Post informs us that in the Denver area, visits to Children’s Hospital Colorado facilities for treatment of cyclic vomiting, paranoia, psychosis and other acute cannabis-related symptoms jumped to 777 in 2015, from 161 in 2005. The increase was most notable in the years following legalization of medical sales in 2009 and retail use in 2014. More at the link: . The quotation is from psychiatrist Libby Stuyt. She treats teens in southwestern Colorado and has studied the health effects of high-potency marijuana. High potency! Damn right. I was at a concert with a friend a few months ago. They were smoking pot nearby and I took one hit said “no more!” and I smoked semi-regularly. Unbeknownst to me she took four hits. I left to get something for us to drink. When I got back she was pale white and said “we gotta go!” As we were leaving she passed out and fell down some stairs and suffered a concussion that gave her dizzy spells for weeks. Yeah weed....harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah weed....harmless. Way to go, Jimmy. When your friend needed a hand, you left her to go drinking. Tell the truth, did you stagger into her bumping her down the stairs too? I would think that the least you could have done would be to offer your arm to an unsteady friend. Pretty crappy, Jimbo! Clear to see right there your philosophy of life - it is all about Jim, eh? If your mistress friend had taken several slugs from a flask of unknown liquid and had the same reaction she had to the cannabis, would you blame Bicardi for making strong liquor or your foolish mistress- lover?

It's an all-natural miracle plant that inhales harmful carbon dioxide to produce fresh oxygen when alive, and cures what ails you when it's harvested and dried (thus giving back precious water to mother nature)!

I went to get bottles of water. I don’t drink and she rarely does. As we were walking down the stairs I had a bottle of water in each hand. When I noticed she was getting woozy I turned to set the water down to help her that’s when she fell. Boy I bet you feel stupid or stoned or stupidly stoned. ?

Bob in Mich Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 The Leafly article of the week. Hopefully this information keeps some people (like Jim's mistress) from consuming cannabis foolishly in the future. Btw Jim, I hope that psychosis has cleared up for you two. One should know what they are consuming (top priority). One should be aware of their setting and their comfort level if they do plan to get high. They should certainly be aware of their cannabis tolerance. They should always start low and go slow with anything 'new' to them. Also important, if they ignore the guidelines and get too high, they should take responsibility for their own decisions and actions and not look elsewhere to find blame. Some other good info in the article too. https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/factors-that-affect-your-cannabis-high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Have to take BP medicines, a statin, and a couple of others (for a total of 7 prescriptions(and Mg (for leg cramps), aspirin, and VitaminD). Had some back spasms, but subsided, and I need to lose more weight. My stress test last month was OK. I glad I am in good shape even with the stress of being primary caretaker for my almost 93 year-old mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
