@Pearl I can see where you are coming from if indeed you think it can be a wholesome experience for some ppl to smoke cannabis...

It’s the best way of you are trying to get high. In the plant there is THC and THCA. When burned,m THCA turns into THC which makes you high.
It you eat the plant without putting it in the oven or burn it, it’s going to contain less THC. It works well if baked in a cake, then one avoids the coughing from smoking and it’s not good for the lungs to smoke. It is however much easier to have a bad experience taking too much if you eat cake. It takes longer to obtain THC though the stomach than through the lungs, because the lungs sends it directly to the blood.
When obtained slow (stomach) it’s hard to regulate the amount, because you won’t feel anything until an hour later.
@McFearless I see; so from your perspective you prefer to get high quickly through inhaling it, then?

@McFearless Well, okay; I can at least follow what you are saying.
So do you ever try double pumping drags for your inhales, when you are smoking marijauna? or would the resulting inhale kind of too much for you?

I’ve tried taking “hits from the bong” and that is not really my thing.
I don’t double pump (never heard the term before) but I can guess what it is.
I’m not really trying to get high as a kite when I smoke, I take two three puffs, then I lay it to rest in the ashtray and turn it on again 5 min later.
@McFearless Oh okay, so I guess what you're really trying to do is to use a means to relax, and not necessarily get the strongest cannabis experience possible (which is what some ppl seem to aim to do...)

All the Opiates I used through all my surgeries I never once became addicted and I used some potent stuff when it was my leg surgery, was always responsible and took it as the Doctor prescribed.
Do you think marijuana would’ve taken the extreme pain I had during my shattered tib fib surgery and shoulder surgery where they cut out a bone spur out?
Do you think it was right the Doctor let me suffer when I had my shoulder surgery because he wouldn’t prescribe me more Percocet to take away the pain?Instead he basically told me I had to deal with it which I did to the point I was almost in tears.
Do you think the legitimate patient in pain should have to suffer because of the addict who’ll get his drugs regardless who won’t need scripts or Doctor visits to get his fix? He’ll just visit his dealer and get it while the person in pains suffers.

I don’t only use it to relax, I prefer smoking sativa instead if indica.
In my experience I get more high from sativa and more sleepy/relaxed/stoned when I smoke indica. People who are trying to escape something are usually into indica (in my experience)
I don’t think that people who “aim” to “get the the strongest cannabis experience possible” have an issues with cannabis. I think people will try to escape into whatever extreme they can find.

Drugs have their place....even fentanyl when used for immediate pain relief by paramedics has its place.
I don't really know, you need to have tried it to see and I don't suppose anyone would have offered you the medicinal stuff....?
I have a friend who is in severe pain with polymyalgia rheumatica and she too is in need of shoulder surgery....a complete replacement because the drugs she was given have leached a lot of calcium out of her bones.....she has been on heavy pain medication for years without much actual relief. Her pain specialist has just started her on MC and it has helped her sleep and has deadened the pain quite significantly. The only problem she is having is getting a regulated dose of the right strain....and the right ratio of CBD to THC. That seems to be a bit hit and miss with the commercially grown stuff. We need way more research and Israel is actually leading the way.
No JP......Pain meds are necessary for the immediate control of acute pain....the medical profession can offer you nothing else, no matter how much harm it does to your body, the pain relief for many people is worth it.
Doesn't it make you wonder though, how clever scientists can do things that blow your mind technologically, but in all the years of orthodox medicine, they cant even cure the common cold? They can't cure cancer either, and with what they know through extensive research over decades, these things should have successful remedies by now, but they are still as far off as they always seemed to be. It amazes me how many new treatments have come to the surface just since MC has been showing promise.
No way.....but don't abusers of the system always make it harder for the legitimate ones? Those idiots who like to hoon around in underground carparks where they have to use speed humps to slow them down....these nearly kill my old Mum because of the arthritic damage to he spine....I curse them. So I'm with you on that.....same with cannabis, but its not the potheads doing the damage, its the pharma big boys wanting a simple and basically harmless medicine taken away so that they can peddle their expensive poison....
The first rule of medicine is "Do No Harm"......but can the pharma companies really claim that when their prescription drugs are killing more people than illicit drugs do? This is the sad and sorry world we live in...
Greed drives everything.

I didn't say that farouk and I didn't mean for one second that I thought it was wholesome - just that we shouldn't judge those who choose to do it.
Every country has its' own laws and rules. America likewise. Are you saying your state do not adhere to the laws and rules of the Federal government but your state's?
But the feds do exist!
I suppose you have not read Romans 13 and Jeremiah 27?

Yep my state took it to the voters. Half the country had decided it’s ok. It will be fully legalized within the federal government within the next few years anyway. Republicans have proposed a bill to legalize it.
Look I deal with such chronic pain that it is hard to function. Sometimes it hurts so bad I can’t even think. cannabis helps me get through another day. If they want to lock me up for that then they can go ahead. God made a plant to help me at this moment so I am taking advantage of it. I don’t care what people think. A lot of people would have hung themselves long ago if they were in my shoes. My options are heavy duty opiate pain killers or cannabis. Is that really a problem?

Hey I have hope that God will heal me. I am a slave to this pain. I hate it. I hate it but he is using it. I am not sinning I am assured of that from the Lord himself. The Lord knows my heart and was kind enough to help me on this pain. Trust me. I would do anything to be free from pain. If he heals me I wouldn’t need any medicine.
@Mantis The preacher Spurgeon smoked to help with his pain from gout...
@Taken Apparently before the American Civil War it was widespread in some areas for women to smoke after church services.
(Then came the so called Progressive Era, when all sorts of 'causes' came in vogue; one was that it was supposedly unladylike to smoke.)
