It's an emergency. Right now I can perceive your urinary functions are a little fucked up. Do you feel hot at times? Are you noticing there's something different about when and how you are peeing? If so, I would go. My parents or friends didn't realize the extent of my pain either. You really have to take the initiative here, get in your car, drive to the hospital and walk in.

Please. For the love of god.

I just called my parents to my room and showed them your exact post in response to mine. They still wont budge. They are like this guy is scaring you, you probably dont have it. I am so scared dude and I have to go through all tomorrow morning and going to fucking school and stuff dude I cant do this.

At least have your parents call the non-emergency line at the hospital and you describe the symptoms.

This is your life. If you don't have it, that's great! But if you do, it's something that's a matter of urgency. I wouldn't say every second counts, but you have to treat it right away.

The last thing I want to do is scare you. But at the same time it's important you get medical attention.

If your point this out to read to your parents again:

Please take your son to the hospital. I only hope he's doesn't have TC because I sure don't want him to go through the hell I suffered. Please. I know it's hard to trust a word of a total stranger on a cannabis.com board of all places, but if you love your son, you'd get him the help he needs. If what he's describing is true, he's in an immeasurable amount of pain, and his urinary functions are deteriorating. Please. This is his life!

They are done, dude. They are just going to take me tomorrow.

If you have a little weed, enjoy, smoke some. I want to be optimistic and say you don't have it. Because once you go, if you do have it, you'll be there for a while. So anything you enjoy doing, just enjoy it. You have to start thinking positive and be strong.

You will be in my thoughts. I wish you luck tomorrow.

Thanks for the support. I swear that this is gonna be the first place I post tomorrow once I get back, might even use my phone while at the doctor to post on here what happens. Thanks for all the support guys, im gonna need it.

Just got back from the doctors. Apparently I have an infection of the epydidmus. Its a bacterial infection. I am gonna get some anti biotics and get it fixed in like a week or two hopefully. It fucking sucks it hurts so bad but at least it wasn't cancer. But of course now there is the problem bout how am I gonna be able to blaze again. By the way I am making progress with explaining how marijuana is not bad but my mom just thinks it makes everyone lazy. How can I prove this isn't true? Today shes like I even voted pro medical cannabis because I know it can be used to help people, but it should only be used if the people are dying or something. I'm like it should be used as one of the first things, its safer then pretty much any drug on the market. Of course she is stubborn and doesen't believe this. She said that she talked to some of her friends that used to grow their own and blaze all day before they "became Christians" (which i see as bs, because I am a Christian myself, and my name is Christian even, and I truly believe that God is Pro Cannabis, considering that he created it and it is a plant that has been in use as a medicine for the last 3000 years), and then also my mom said she asked my sister (who is a doctor) and apparently my sister said she gets "pot heads" that come to her all the time and they are just lazy and don't do anything. That makes me so mad thats the reason I cant blaze she thinks thats gonna happen to me and I happen to be an active stoner, I hate the couch lock. Any way I can prove you dont turn into a mindless couch potato by blazing?

Oh thank god!!!

You just have to show them by working hard and smart. Stop trying to convince them, and start showing them the way.

Good to hear that you don't have cancer - I remember when I thought I had skin cancer, that was the most terrifying thing that ever happened to me. (I didn't have it by the way, it was just a pus-filled node or something)

Someone on here (and I forget who, sorry) made the excellent observation that "You aren't lazy because you smoke, you smoke because you're lazy." That's probably not helpful but really, even when I'm sober I don't do much - in fact, I probably am more active when I'm high, just because it feels great to be out and about.

Your sister should also consider that she's getting a small sample of all the stoners out there. Maybe she doesn't realize that a lot of the people who come to her smoke, because it doesn't perceptibly affect them. Maybe she should consider that the stoners with medical problems are the ones who don't take care of themselves and wouldn't even if they weren't smoking. Being a doctor, I'm assuming she's smart enough to think for herself and consider all angles of a subject - maybe she should take a look at the flip side of the coin, just to get a better perspective.

And as far as the "Christians" thing goes, that is indeed BS. I know where she's coming from though. I live in the Bible Belt and there seems to be this idea that smoking and drinking are wrong, but everything else is okay as long as you don't get caught. There's nothing that says marijuana is wrong in the Bible - in fact, some verses seem to advocate it (check the Spirituality section of the forums), and it is in fact a plant that God put on this earth for our use, unlike synthetic drugs. A lot of people "convert" and then get on this high horse about altered states. I've been up on it too. It's a ridiculous place to be.

My perception of this in the Bible is that substance use is fine, but substance abuse is not. To paraphrase a verse from the Bible (I haven't been Christian for a few years now and am not up on this stuff) it is not what goes into the man that matters, but rather what comes out of him. So if drinking turns you into a violent asshole, don't drink, and if smoking makes you an uncontrollably and inappropriately horny dude, don't smoke.

By far the best way to prove that marijuana doesn't turn you into a couch potato is to demonstrate that fact. If you're an active stoner, show your parents that. Get out and do something active, and then when you're done tell your parents you were high the whole time. Either they'll come around or it'll backfire. It's worth a shot, I think. The bottom line is: Don't just tell them, show them.

Good luck and get well soon. :jointsmile:


In other news, I had a chance to talk about the capitalization (is that a word?) of the health care system with a co-worker who is pretty conservative, and I think I made a pretty good case for marijuana - explaining the pros and near-total absence of cons of not only the THC but also the plant in general. It's small, but every step counts towards public awareness.

No Dude they cant know I smoke by finding out by seeing me do it they will be pissed. They dont know I smoke at all but she says im lazy and shit while I get high on carry on conversations with her and help her with errands and stuff like that when im high, if only she knew that. But I cant tell her this, because then I would be screwed. Its so stupid, I wish she could just understand or accept to try it once and find out.

I'd still say that if you can function normally when you're high, you should tell them, but it's your call. I mean, I obviously don't know your parents as well as you do. :jointsmile: But I really don't see any other option, other than continuing to smoke on the down-low until you can move out. And I would advise against getting her to try smoking, since you'll generally end up feeling whatever you expect to feel, and chances are she'd feel couchlocked - especially if she's a newbie. Everyone reacts differently to marijuana, so it's kind of like playing Russian roulette. Go with your gut feeling on this one.
