Cannabis consumption on track to overtake alcohol

I so wish I could take Cannabis instead of alcohol. But with my Bipolar, (truth), Cannabis consumption will put me into a clinical depression. So booze it is. 

At least you know about it...  Probably why half of society is wigging out nowadays.

 

They think they are self-medicating but only making things worse because of their unknown predisposition to the ill effects of the drug... 

 

Just a thought.

If I have to hear another student say " no one has died from pot smoking" I will explode. How are so many people aware that cigarette smoke causes cancer but completely unaware that any smoke in your lungs is bad. I don't have a moral qualm with smoking but the lying is annoying. Also doesn't mention the driving while high part, which is much more dangerous for the younger people.

Well, you can always eat it.  Edibles do me well when I want a good night sleep.

Fun fact, they say not to use THC for several months prior to major surgery. I guess it impacts your body's ability to heal larger surgical wounds. I did not listen. So I needed another surgery to fix the fact that the other one didn't heal correctly. Cannabinoid receptors are very complicated with so many interactions to our body. Despite being around forever the medical community still doesn't have a grasp on it all. Certainly not long term impacts of chronic use from edibles or extremely high THC concentrated products. As a simple example most edibles don't contain CBD. CBD is considered to potentially be a neurological protector to some of the negative impacts of THC. Even if we did know more, we don't know what ingesting just THC without CBD will do over a long period of time. That's just one product and one consideration. We have THC extracts at 50%+ THC levels. All sorts of ways to ingest it that are far outside what we might know more about. I would guess it can't be worse than alcohol, but just as confident it's not benign.

Alcohol can lead to pot which can lead to hard drugs which can lead to heavier alcohol and drug use which can lead to legal problems, marital problems and worse…..so I’ve heard.

Ouch! Doesn't sound like such a fun fact, more like learn from my mistake, don't do this!

I had back surgery a few years ago....is that considered major surgery?  

 

I was high before the surgery and during surgery.  I vaped a good amount before I went under.

The use of "major" was a bit silly. All of them are. It can slow wound healing, so I suppose the larger the incision the more of a risk. Mine was fairly large and got infected. I'm sure that could happen for a lot reasons so I can't say it was that specific thing that did it, but ya, it's a thing.

I drank a couple of 10mg THC seltzers. Never smoked weed in my life or anything 

 

Seriously, the effects did nothing. The first I drank over 10-12 minutes. Nada.  The second I chugged.

 

Nothing. How disappointing. I was trying to test THC because I will begin THC infused honey soon. 10mg in 2 oz honey.

Makes sense.

 

No vomiting, no hangover, no liver damage, makes cookies taste amazing, music sound awesome, and comedy more hilarious. 

 

What’s not to like?

Man. I've only had a couple experiences with it but both times I was super paranoid, thought I was going to die and everything around me felt blacker than night (at night). I herniated  my back and had never used anything like this ever. Thought I'd try a little for pain management. Instead i thought my blankets were talking to me and making rude faces.

Thanks bro. It's a thing now. Been two years and my leg and foot are still numb. When I took the gummies I was hoping for relief. Had that funk experience. Someone told

me that your mood can have effect on how you experience weed. Idk lol

I have no expertise, but I have a ton of well wishes. Back and nerve pain are awful.
