Medical marijuana...it's becoming accepted by old and young?

[farouk]

Yes, I believe that cannabis should be more available for those who need it with medical conditions. ...
I have mixed views on cannabis, I am not convinced it doesn’t affect the mental well being of some people , yet others it does honestly help.

from back...
Hi @Rita Did you see this thread recently? @Nancy and @Heart2Soul have their own take on it; do you see your own thoughts being clarified at all?

 

[BeyondET]

I pretty much became sold to the idea when @Nancy educated me about our brain having cannabis receptors in it....God wouldn't put receptors in us if there wasn't something to be received......so I suppose the ingesting of marijuana in whatever form is the transmission from our metabolism releasing cannabis into our bloodstream and the brain receives all it can. Do-do-doo wap Diddy Diddy dum Diddy do...oh yeah.

Food is able to modulate the CB1/CB2 receptor activation ratio as well.

 

[BeyondET]

cannabinoids can be found in other plants also, such as rhododendron, licorice and liverwort, and echinacea probably wouldn't be pleasant to smoke lol jk.

"Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms." (James 5.13)

I guess this verse also shows that for a wholesome state of mind prayer and praise are for the believer strongly desirable pursuits. This does not also exclude the use of recognized means to alleviate health issues.

@Nancy; @Heart2Soul

 

[farouk]

I think the liquid form is way easy and I don't have to inject smoke/water vaper makes me cough hehe..

@BeyondET So you prefer not to smoke (or vape) it? I think @Nancy said she finds it fine to inhale it, but not everyone does it in the same way.

@Nancy; @Heart2Soul

Amen...of course prayer and praise are always my first action I take.

If I wouldn't gain weight I would be 100% eating away!

@Heart2Soul Well, I think you likely know more about marijuana/CBD than I do; your thread has certainly proved to be informative, hasn't it...?

 

[Heart2Soul]

@Heart2Soul Well, I think you likely know more about marijuana/CBD than I do; your thread has certainly proved to be informative, hasn't it...?

Yes it had and I researched what others have said and found it to be true...so there are benefits to it for sure

@Heart2Soul A while ago I think you said you gave up cigarettes and so as regards the benefits which you perceive of marijuana it's now likely that you would rather now not start smoking again in order to receive the marijuana: I can see you would rather now - if done at all, though now it seems more likely - be someone who ingests it (via liquid, etc.) rather than be a marijuana smoking lady. (I can also see how some Christian men and women who do a moderate amount of social smoking might be perfectly comfortable with receiving its benefits via smoking it, right?)

@Heart2Soul Well, exactly.... 1 Thess. 5.17-25

Correct

 

[farouk]

Not until next week...earliest appointment available was the 26th.

@Heart2Soul Hope it goes well next week; of course even now at this late stage you might even just find s/he tries to put the kibosh on your using it at all.... (wait and see, I guess).

@Nancy More seriously, I think the OP's emphasis would be on establishing the medical benefits of mj and it seems like @Heart2Soul is increasingly convinced of this - especially if her doc agrees - and I think you would agree, right?

 

[farouk]

@Nancy I thought so; so then you do feel good about the medical benefits of vaping mj.

Yes Farouk, yes.

 

[farouk]

I don't use medical marijuana- because I don't require it, but I don't condemn anyone who uses it responsibly, just like everything else in this world.

It can slow down MS, take away pain, gets cancer patients to eat, helps with the things you said, etc.

@LadyofFireandLace So I think you would agree with some of the recent posts on this thread.......

the first time I ever smoked Mary's iguana

I really liked that phrase, Mary's iguana! :)

 

[farouk]

Pretty sure God established plants For all of Mankind to have and use as individuals see fit.

@Taken You seem pretty much in favor then of mj benefits.
