can you have withdrals?

[boaz]

well .. didn't quite make the run as planned, took a nap instead, lol. tommorrow, tho. I like to work out in the mornings too before breakfast so I'm just burning fat and not the food. I really wish we had decent medibles here, that would be the solution. guess I can make my own, but the weed is pretty crappy. should grow my own but I've kinda lost my nerve lately, its a big time bust here, 2 years to life! I need to the hell out of here and get back to cali... until then guess I'll stick with it and try to get back in shape, I'm pretty lazy these days.

[boaz]

feeling a lot better today, I think I'm over the hump. yaaaa. now for the run..

[prettygirlsmokes420]

Try to steer clear of energy drinks too, there horrible for ya! I tried those to try and bring me "up", turned my poor sensitive stomach, lol and made my heart like skip a beat. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was all those chemicals that my body wasn't used to ( I never really drink energy drinks, cuz ima naturally bubly person...) Needless to say, no more energy drinks for me. And I might get addicted to coffee so I don't even want to start. lol

Gee Boaz, 2 years to life--really is bad! Wouldn't beat myself up for not exercising while reducing the dose of medication! I admire that! Oddly, now that the mmj is lower in price, etc. I am either getting better or just don't think about it much (cause I spend too much time here, which is a retreat from pain for me. Not thinking about it (pain)don't feel it so much-but am much better these days). Except for days like the past two. When the weather changes from warm to cold-I'z get to hurting a bit and only think of the herb. And you find me here at 3 A.M. Just too cold to go outside for me.

I really don't like to toke in the A.M, which is why I love the brownie. After that, depends on how I feel. Or the weather. Since, I go outside to toke. I know all the neighbors can smell it, cause I can smell theirs! I make some pretty decent edibles! Would rather bake (in the oven or cook on stove) than grow. Always something!

PGS, that coffee is a good anti-oxidant, you may want to try it instead, not so much caffeine in it as the energy drinks! I am not one for an energy drink, in fact, haven't even tried one! Unless you consider Poweraid or Gator... one. I do not. I simply think of them as 'electrolyte' replacement when not feeling well or working outside in the elements. Makes a big difference in how I feel. As I age, I certainly do not tolerate severe temp. of any kind or working outside in it! If I forget the drink, I don't feel very well after a day of working in the garden. Usually powerade in winter and gator in summer (later has more sodium and feel it is needed more in severe heat). Just replacing body's deficency.

It was suppose to rain, "a little bit" 1/2 inch here today. Past 2 hours-I'd say 2" at least. Good day for staying in and making home-made potato soup! Wanted to put some mmj in it, but would ruin the taste for others that would eat it! So, using the patio for a while! As I bake and cook, I just wonder how it would be so much better with mj in it. Thinking of cooking up some mmj in the butter to baste the big bird Thursday. But, only about 4 of us could partake and then-the little one, can't give it to her! Thinking on warming up the butter in a small crock pot with the pot for about 12 or so hours prior to using. Perhaps, I ought to cut the bird in half or quarter out a section for the 4 medical users?

I am an indoor exerciser. I prefer good cardiovascular. A nice stationary bike in front of the T.V. Running, here in the smoke, seems counter-productive to me! I know many will think, And you Toke? Yep, cause I have read the medical facts and it ain't like tobacco (which I am allergic to anyway). I try to exercise at least 5-6 hours prior to bedtime and take a long walk in the evening! I am no morning person and never have been! dunno why, just learnz to live with it. I can be influenced, though! Especially when it comes to fishing, I am the first one up! I do have my priorities!:rasta: pr

Oh my goodness get out of my head pr, you'll never guess what I made for dinner last night.... homade potatoe soup! I make mine with small ham chunks too. Mmm,mmmm. Yup, I think I might try coffee tomorrow morning (finally got a job...ugh.) gotta be up at 6 am. Might just hop on my platstation 3 and play mw3 all night and just not sleep. I know that's bad for my body, but its like hypnotism; I just can't stop playing....
Antioxidant? What exactly does that mean? (Don't laugh,) but last few times I tried coffee, it made me have to go #2, it that normal? (Sorry if that's weird, I was just curious. It shouldn't make anyone uncomfortable, cuz everybody poops.) :jointsmile:

The only withdrawal effect I consistently experience when cutting back or teaking break is that my sleep isnt as good as when I am smoking regularly.
I generally find I sleep a lot less long and my dreams can be more disturbing/vivid for a few days after.

Also my appetite is definitely not as great.
But apart from that, nothing much.

[painretreat]

Hey there PGS, yep, I also made some last night, as well! Cold here and have been getting over an allergic bronchitis~with the cold weather, just cannot resist homemade hot soup. I am thinking Chicken soup tomorrow! I should have used ham, but used some already cook real bacon bits!

Anti-oxidants help in keeping your body free of carcinogens (In a very short way to say it). Hot water would have the same effect in the A.M. with your bowels. Hot Coffee, same thing, ain't the coffee though, its da heat! I quit drinking coffee for 20 years and don't know how I ever did it. I am into Latte or Expresso now. I like a nice bold brew! No sugar! Accidently picked up "French Roast" last Jan. and it seemed a bit strong. But, bought a huge can of it. Not gonna take it back, so kept drinking it. I love it now and don't know how I could ever drink a 'mild' brew! It packs a caffiene jolt too! Past summer it seemed I found out, a good friend of mine really loves the 'Bold" flavor, as well. Made a great cup of coffee! Seems to get my day going on the right foot! Certainly, more alert!

Many foods are natural anti-oxidants: Blueberrys, brocoholi, cinnamon, several others, just not thinking of um right now. Strawberry! Guess, veges and fruit mostly. Oh, and dark chocolate! Of course, can't forget that. All in moderation! So, your body lives healthy, as long as your mind. Omega 3's for your brain-fish! Helps combat dementia/Alzheimers! Good broad spectrum Omega is Flaxseed supplements! Start young on 'um! U wanna keep your mind active as long as your body!

PS3: well, I am a Wii one. But, prefer some pop cap games on my laptop. The games are astonishing these days!


Well, hope the job isn't too time consuming. Good luck in it! I am not sure about staying up all night. Hard for me anymore. But, did it all the time when I was younger. My work was very interesting and didn't have time to think about sleep of lack of it. If we had had PS3 then, I doubt I would have worked as much, though! Good luck in your new job tomorrow!


Hope it is in a nursery! pr

[painretreat]

Hey b-t, I find the same thing. I use my mmj mostly to help me sleep, lately! One hit and I am usually out. Just too cold to go outside to toke late at night, lately!

I seem to have more vivid dreams with my mmj! Anyone else? Would be interesting to hear! pr

[prettygirlsmokes420]

More facts ...:jointsmile:

[boaz]

oh boy am I hungry for some potato soup now.. should have went running the first day I thought of it, it was about 70 degrees and sunny then, not anymore... yeah, my dreams have definately came back are very vivid. I think I had my first bit of a lucid dream last night but it was really scary, I was having this really bad nightmare and thought to myself, man these movies now a days are really bad then I realized it was a dream. most of the times they are just bizzare like I'm trying to figure out something really complicated or something.. strange. but a couple of night ago had the awesome dream about this girl I work with. :smokin: second time I've dream about her, hmmmm.
