I had a terrible time with LSD back in the 70s.
Not to mention some other things.
I think that may be why weed still bothers me.
I just want things to go back to how they used to be.
I guess that's not going to happen.
So I sing my song about the road because of the destination.
I gotta keep thinking about it...eternity with Him.
The best of everything forever. With Him and all of the rest of us.
This life is a flash-in-the-pan.
Not to be held onto too tightly.

Ask God to help you handle your past and stand fast with Him today. He is able in every situation.
Give God always the glory!

As long as I stay away from the killer weed, I'm okay. Lol - As He so righteously deserves!

@Ziggy Of course, you inhale tobacco, don't you? so do you think there is likely any comparison with doing it with marijuana? or is it likely apples and oranges, in your view?
where do you come up with these questions farouk?
I think they will both catch up to you eventually.
Hugs
:D

I smoked weed for many many years. Never in public, never at work.
I would have a little before I went to bed and it would help me sleep. .. I would say that marijuana use should be for mature and responsible adults that take precautions and considerations. ..

As far as menthol cigarettes go, they will have to tear them from my cold dead hands.
I don't want to quit.
@Ziggy So would you say in your years of experience that Menthols have definitely proved for you to be an improvement on marijuana?

What if a follower of Christ has chronic pain and knows they have a weakness for opioids?
Can, or should, a new believer, a recovering Fentanyl addict, use cannabis while they recover?
I maintain that the best drug is no drug, since they all have side effects.
Then there is addictive behavior.

This thread reminds me of the story of two Catholic priests, both of whom smoked pipes, and wanted to know of their bishop whether or not and when it was acceptable. The first went through to the bishop's chambers, and came out after an hour, shaking his head. Then the second one went in, and came out after a few minutes, lighting his pipe. 'How is it' enquired the first 'that you can smoke and I may not?', 'Ah well,' said the second priest, 'what did you ask him?' 'Whether one may smoke while praying' replied the first priest. 'What did you ask?' 'Whether one may pray while smoking' said the second.

Best wishes, 2RM.

As though God doesn't see, eh?
Did you clothe the naked? Did you feed the hungry? Did you visit the person in jail? Did you help the sick? Did you do these things when no one was watching?
Smoking? That's not healthy, you should quit.
So 9 A.M. at the gas station, right? We'll go to the subsidized housing complex first...

Cigarrettes don't help me sleep. Menthol or otherwise.
I haven't slept an 8 hour night in years.
I'm not about to go looking for marijuana though.
Legal or not. Too much tar.
Too many things going on to sleep.
Cigarettes help keep me awake.
I don't see any improvement one way or the other.
Hugs

@Ziggy: I guess you're totally quit from marijuana and in that sense it's an improvement to be totally quit, anyway...

I was thinking..
I could be sleeping right now, and it's legal.. LOL
Frankly, I don't know anyone that does smoke marijuana.
And I couldn't afford it even if I did.
I get way too paranoid. And I don't like the hacking cough that comes with it.

Nah, those days long gone now.
Maybe if my doctor prescribed it though.. hmm.. :cool:

Just kidding

It's harvest time in my neighborhood. I'm not impressed. Plants towering out of people's backyards. The room next to mine is now the dry room. It doesn't matter where I go, inside or out, all I can smell, and for the most part, see, is weed!
My son excels in growing big buds, so the dogs get the leaf. They love it! SMH
