Someone very cynical could theoretically investigate almost anyone- smokers, drinkers, those who eat food with high saturated fat contents- as well. They're also harming themselves at the end of the day...
are these less if it is eaten than smoked? i can't say i blame her from the point of view of pain relief...but i'd rather know about the long term effects too before gps start prescribing it! i have never tried it so i dont really know but surely growing it herself is a better choice than getting it off a dealer? supplying is a different matter though.
just hope she isnt a member of the WI !
and legal tablets are, they produce the worst side-effects.
it scares me how serious some people take the law, are you lost in your own conformity or something, are you not human, Jesus Christ, i realy do ask you all to smoke a joint and feel life or something.
i suggest you do some research, those long term problems don't happen to all cannabis users, only those who are already pre-disposed to a mental illness, anyway, too much of anything is bad for you, even water, i reckon this women knows what she's at, is able to control herself and is very sensible, unlike the drunken teen yobs of today's world.
We can NOT legalise cannabis.
As for use as a medicine, there are very good reasons to use it as a spray, for example, someone who works does not want to be stonned all day.
As for this case they could easily give her a caution and be done with it.
Why couldn't she just shut up about it? This is just a storm in a tea cup. The number of old wives tales and home made remedies I've heard makes this case seem so insignificant it's not even funny.
i didnt say they were...not everyone knows if the are pre-disposed or not though, i know enough to know not everyone is effected by it like that but it is a consideration.
it's not cannabis' fault if people don't already care for/find out about their mental health.
Those who are in favor claim that cannabis is a wonder drug which can cure all the worlds ills and the other side say its a deadly poison.
The truth is it is a potentially dangerous drug, however, this mild danger is only worsened by the law.
It has some applications medically (we think) though actually applying it is troublesome.
aye, the majority who think its wonderful have tried it, and the majority of people who think its a deadly poison have been lapping up the government's bullshit for years and are too indoctrinated to see the light....so of course it's polarised, anyone who smokes or has smoked pot knows how much crap all the hype is......that's why its now class C, cos there is no proven causal effect.....it's like if you have mild asthma you really shouldn't smoke cos it aggravates it, but smoking in itself doesn't give you asthma.......
not everyone can find out....people who are adopted etc dont always have access to that information
is it better to eat it then?
It is better for the body because you are not smoking it, it is however longer lasting, less predictable in terms of dose and more hallucinogenic.
mental illness can be genetic and people who are adopted sometimes dont have access to that sort of information....its not that they dont care about their mental health, the just dont necessarily have the info to tell them whether it can affect them long term or not.
also paralizes you if you eat too much
ETA: not permantely of course
yes it can be genetic but whats stopping an adopted person finding out about their mental health, if you think you have some problems go see a doctor, again, it's not cannabis' fault if someone doesn't do this.
no -one has any reason to question their mental health until they have problems do they?
i think you're missing my point, it's up to the person to care for their body, everybody should care, there's no point in saying "cannabis is evil cos my son has schizophrenia now", more like "my son is stupid cos he still smoked cannabis regularly when he should have known better".
i dont believe i said anything like that! just said that those sort of side affects need to be taken into consideration.
aye, i'm just saying that not everyone develops them and legal drugs have just as bad or worse side effects
i know it isnt everyone. agree.
what do you mean by this, in relation to mental illness when smoking cannabis or in general.
Drug use, of the sort likely to lead to health problems, is inextricably linked to social disadvantage and less access and appropriate use of health services.
If you honestly think problem drug users weigh up the pros and cons of their next fix, then you really are naive.
Three halves eh?
