Just a suggestion based on exp.

I have a limited, yet clear understanding of herbal medicine. Marijuana is an herbal medicine, and a damn powerful one at that. With any herbal medicine there is a definite need to be respectful of the spiritual, and physical aspects that the plant contains. I feel that I have misused Marijuana most of my life. I have gone between being stoned all day, every day, and quitting for 4 years. After that I got to a point where I was just using edibles occasionally, and learning a great deal from my experiences. Then slowly, over the course of a year I began to smoke occasionally as well, then every day, and here I am, back in the daily use category. I do not need Mary every day. I know a lot of folks do, and for them it's truly a blessing, and I say continue doing what heals you. I need to back off from my daily use. I feel that I, and other's around me, disrespect the medicinal power of this herb, and we use it just to feel "good, normal, high, or whatever".

I know this post may be of an unpopular subject, but really ask yourself... Do you need to use Marijuana as much as you currently do?

I know vaping decreases any health complications that may arise from combustion, and edibles are a completely non-toxic way to medicate. But, think about the effects any herb has on your body. Any herb used on a regular basis will change your body. Your chemical signals, neurological signals, your emotional state, your mental state, physical state, your consciousness, etc. You get my point. I think....

I am in no way saying there is anything "wrong" with daily marijuana use. For some it's the best option for them to live a pain free, or stress free life. Power to you friends. I know for myself that I am going to cut back, and use Mary intuitively as a medicine for my own personal healing. I am out of balance in my relationship with this amazing herb, and I do not want this. I want to maintain balance in all my relations.

Why not use it every day?? It was put here to be used, and I'd much rather use it as a recreational substance than alcohol..

I will paraphrase from my previous post.....

I am in no way saying there is anything "wrong" with daily marijuana use. For some it's the best option for them to live a pain free, or stress free life. Power to you friends.

The why not is a personal situation. I feel that it is unnecessary for me to use it on a daily basis because I do not need it. I feel that I am being sort of greedy and wasteful. Anything can be abused, no matter how useful, or plentiful it may be.

I chief everyday. I don't "need to" i suppose, but then again I am under a lot of heat by a bunch of haters. People, you REALLY don't need to see me near the edge. :rambo:

there's more marijuana in this country than ever has been, I don't think that recreational users are using up all the marijuana..toke on brothers

All use is medical. Cannabis use appears to lower your chances of some cancers, diabetes and Alzheimer's, to name some major conditions (click the link in my sig to read the articles). Isn't doing something pleasurable, that lowers your risks of some serious medical conditions, worth doing every day? :stoned:

Granny :hippy:

For some, I agree, daily use is fantastic. I have also seen people who allow daily use to become an excuse not to open themselves up past their current states of mind. I realize this post will not be the most popular concept to think about on this forum, but it has truth in it for me. I don't think Cannabis use itself creates problems in peoples lives, I think people misuse Cannabis. And I mean misuse it's properties, where it can take you, and the healing it can offer. I know I have misused this beautiful herb plenty of times in my life, allowing it to be a buffer for experience, so I don't take everything in. It can be used in the exact opposite function as my previous statement, and be incredibly enlightening, and opening. As far as All use being Medical, I disagree. I think all use with the intent of being Medical, is. But I do not think that all users respect Cannabis as a Medicinal partner in their lives. I have witnessed a lot of disregard for her (cannabis) gift, and a lot of overuse.
