4-20 de facto Pot observance day

[McDad]

Go ahead and locate your teenagers stash of buds then fire up a joint. It is a little awkward to have a thread started about ganja from you because you have never been lifted.

My truck is lifted.

If you are 30 years old without medical issues and still feel the need to smoke pot everyday, you have issues...

Does chronic pain count as a medical issue? That's why many older people use it.

 

[McDad]

I wish I were high right now. Thanks @McDad .


FTR, I haven't used in at least a couple of years, but I would if it were legal.

Thc doesn't complicate any of your pre existing health concerns?

When word got out my dad had cancer he turned down so much pot. People in their 20s to people his age 70+ offered.

Everything complicates my pre-existing health concerns, but the question is, do the risks outweigh the benefits? Like I said, I haven't used in a couple of years, but I've been putting serious consideration into trying CBD oil.

Not only helps with the pain but also with the nausea that comes with chemo treatments.

I don't smoke anymore but still have some home made edibles from timeto time. If Fl ever gets their head out of their ass and legalizes it here, I might pick up some bud for old times sake. I reckon it wpuld be pretty easy to get a medical card in the meantime but I guess I just don't care that much these days. Unfortunately Papa Joe still seems to be inhaling the old DARE propaganda fumes regarding legalization.

So that's where mary jane got her other nickname. The chronic.

 

[NEO]

No issues with that, just like no issues with someone drinking during those times.

On the flip side I am not for legalizing cocaine. I have actually lost people I know to it. Very good people who couldn't stop.

Cocaine is a fast train to hell.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

But you want first responders helping those who won't help themselves, right?

The drug "problem" is self limiting when addicts are allowed to expire on their own terms.

Halilujah on your last paragraph.

I’ve used it a handful of times, can’t now because of drug tests through work (even though I qualify for a script and my state has legal medical pot). It’s about as harmless as any recreational drug.

 

[LouderVol]

That isn't our or anyone else's call.

Who's to say why the person OD? That could be their out. Is it helping if all you are doing is allowing them to continue with self harm?

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Their tolerance builds until they eventually die from it every single time..

starts with smoking weed or maybe a few pills

then it becomes stronger with more pills including pain meds and other narcotics

then the tolerance causes the user to need more and more and eventually the 2nd level of crushing and snorting it directly

then the IV drug use and heroin and meth shooting into veins directly

then the user is 95% likely to be stuck being a drug addict, and will either die from OD or their hearts/organs will shut down from infections and other issues and they will die young

I’ve known many people as well as pts who only smoke pot. It’s very common. They have no interest in taking any further drugs.
The ones who mix with things like meth, cocaine and other stimulants are always the ones who come in as hot messes.

LOL

You'd be shocked at the number of "legit" businesses that have done away with their drug testing policies. And I'm talking about fortune 500 "legit" businesses.

because its costly and stupid. if someone is too messed up to do their jobs their coworkers/bosses will notice. It is not necessary to test them

The point is that healthcare folks don't know the difference, and should treat them.

If you got high your police skills would increase 420%.

hahaha that was my previous career, but at least I could eat more snacks

severe nausea is the worst

Ya know, my lungs were like my only "healthy" organ, and right now, COVID has even screwed those up. Anyone who's had COVID know how long it takes for your lungs to get back to normal? I'm still getting short of breath really easy.

It's much easier for self insured companies to have a liberal drug policy, small and medium sized companies have to make the decision on whether the WC insurance discount is worth it or not. Plus it depends on the industry.

 

[Smokey X]

While true, the illegality of weed is not about the health aspect. The government doesn't give a rat's ass about the health of the people. It is about $$$. When it has gotten to the point where government weed is a good product, or they can control private production via licensing and taxation, it will become legal... overnight.


Change my mind.

I think this is correct....can't believe it has gone this long....prohibition only lasted about 10 years or so before they realized that there's gold in them bottles....I mean heck, the only reason they care about moonshiners is because they aren't getting their cut of the proceeds

Life of the party here, folks.

LOL yea nothing says party like 35 yr old druggies passing out at 2pm in their moms basement

 

[n_huffhines]

All of these things are true to some degree, but it's none of my business:

If you are 30 years old without medical issues and still feel the need to smoke pot everyday, you have issues...

If you feel the need to have a drink everyday, you have issues...

If you feel the need to drink coffee every morning, you have issues...

If you feel the need to try and control other people's personal lives, you have issues...

See, it's wildly inaccurate presumptions like these that lend to tarnishing your opinions when it comes to anything on this subject. You just sound like a bleating cop.
