Well I'll pull up a seat for this smoke out Jamboree. Good to hear the herb is giving you a benefit Stinky have you heard of the Treating Yourself magazine. More likely you have since there from North America but I got a copy recently.
Anyway I smoke but I have been getting helped by my son in the grow room and untill a couple of weeks I didn't know he smoked. Took him a bit to admit it but think he found it wasn't the disaster he thought it would be.
good to hear you dint beat the hell out of him.Quote:

Ive actually stopped smoking while I tend to my grow, does that count? Im sure as hell gonna be smoking once its done.
Good for you. I smoke mainly for recreation, but I do get head exploding migraines that the stuff works wonders on, which nothing over the counter ever has I would just have to try to sleep while im not tired in a completly dark and quiet room till it past, which usually wasnt untill the next day. I wish it was legal so I could get some of my friends off the bottle, they drink way too much. They just dont get it about cannabis, out of all of my friends thaat drink about 70% of them have been to the hospital to get thier stomachs pumped. Do you know how many times after a long night of drinking ive heard someone say "Im never drinking AGAIN! I feel like shit" And guess what thier doing the next night...I dont think people realize how addicting alcohol actually is, I think cannabis could cure this.Quote:

I didn't even think of cannabis as a solution, always being told it was a drug and something that kids do, which I did.
But after hearing of cannabis to treat these problems that I have and knowing it is something my family and I could handle the side effects, little that they are I decided to try it. I am now off all Rx pain killers, and now drink maybe 2 beers a week. My wife and I are happier then ever, even though times are harder then ever, and my son and are closer then ever.
It is amazing how many stories like this there are out there like this yet they take the time to make and research medicine that uses opiates and other illicit drugs to find and legalize use of yet they fight so hard to stop something as great as cannabis, a naturual miracle for me and my family. This is what cannabis should be portrayed as, for all the good it does and what a truely safe alternative it is.
Sorry to ramble in the thread

Sorry to hear that, but those were the times probably when beating was considered good parenting practice. As I started at 13 I would consider myself a severe hypocrit if I got all tempered up about it. Would I have been happy if he never drank or smoked probably, but I was more concerned when he said he was having a bottle of vodka & cider every weekend. I did smoke him out on good herb so he got a bit of respect & understanding of limits doses etc.. no way you even get high from the usual UK plastic. Then I took him to the recent HT cup in Amsterdam so now he knows what to look for in a bit of weed.
Still I hope he doesn't get involved in the scene, but can't live there lives for them.
I can't claim to be a medicinal smoker as I started three decades ago almost as a teenager. However nowadays I take epilepsy drugs & painkillers for deep nerve problems which along with the canabis I smoke keeps my nervous system issues on a plateu. My docs know about it, no one could quantify what positive effect it has but even the docs thinks it plays a part of the combination therapy. Not officially mind you as that would be against the law.

good trick i learned from my mom.
Anyone ever see that movie doc, In Pot We Trust? Its good, watch it.
I keep it for my wife who has very severe depression, rather than her getting hooked on all the prescription drugs, she rather just have a doobie, makes her feel great not all druged up and she can carry on with her daily jobs, even her neurologist agrees if it works do it.
i will be when i am on probation... i love pot every thing about it even if i cant smoke it ill just grow the shit though it in a freezer bag for like 2 years or what ever the ass hole judge decides to give me
your a good person, i appreciate your motives.Quote:
