Drug users are Modernists who despise Classicism

[Loop]

This right here is the most ignorant statement i have ever heard.

that was what i immediately thought.
"Dante" (he's probably turnin' in his grave for that..)
im sorry mate, but ive never heard such a stupid sentence like this.
I hope your aim was to see how many people you could upset with jus one
thread b\c (an im taking all the responsability for saying this) you're filling this thread with bullshits.
you dunno what you're talking about an you're just giving some
nice low-cost-philosophy that nobody needs.
my piece of advise is get lost :thumbsup:

My mother is doing radiation treatment and having big issues with loss of appetite and nausia. She has been adamantly opposed to trying marijuana because, I believe, the social taboo associated with it and the idea that "she couldn't handle it" because she is so "sensitive". That is, the plant would somehow do more harm than good or she would freak out from the pschoactive effects. I imagine, from personal experience, that it is not as "serious" as some of the pain medication she had taken earlier...

Anyway, she will never smoke anything, and brownies are out of the question, but she has reluctantly agreed to try a tea, if I could make it and promise to make it very mild at first and go from there.

For what it is worth, there aren't any medications that have helped with appetite and anti-nausia medication runs about $40 for ONE pill. With insurance it's a little under half that, but it is very expensive regardless and not entirely effective. Other meds are cheaper but less effective than this particular one (Zofran).

I'm not a smoker myself, but have visited amsterdam and smoked on occasion when I lived in Germany. However, living in the particular area of the United States that I do, it is a fairly ubiquitous and easy to obtain. We have a medical-marijuana program in our state, but I'm not going to bother with it right now - though I will give them a donation in the future if I have some luck with this.

I volunteer at a local cable access station and have been asked to help the "legalize marijuana" show in the past. Such experience leads me to believe that there are some serious and significant benefits -- I just don't have any personal experience with marijuana used medicinally, except what I heard while crewing the show from guests or the occasional episode on tv.

Any advice on making a tea (is that plausable?) would be apprecaited. Also, if you have personal experience with medical marijuana used against nausia and loss of appetite I would be happy to hear about it. That said, I would be more interested in the skeptical side of things, since so far it seems that this is a very effective treatment -- however, people on a show about medical marijuana legalization are perhaps not entirely objective.

It may (?) not be cost effective compared to smoking or cooking, but that isn't an issue really considering the high cost of the alternative and my mom happens to be a rather stubborn lady, but very herbal medicine friendly (legal herbs that is) and drinks all sorts of other herbal teas -- so the mental barrier is MUCH easier to cross this way.


Thanks for all very much for your advice in advance...

The first couple paragraphs, with the quotation marks, seem to read very sarcastically - which was not my intention. I just wanted to illustrate that she's of a relatively sensitive constitution and has never smoked marijuana before. Also, I would like to make as mild a concoction as possible and go from there, depending on if there are some positive results.

I understand making tea is difficult, as high temperatures break down THC?

lol right on, but i like modern bands too...

and to dante saying classical is any better than modern, is just another ass that is trying to pass off their opinion as fact.

dante, get the fuck of these boards if this is what you're gonna be doing here.

You should submit this question in the medical mj section of the board. Iâ??m sure there would be lots of people who would be happy to help you out.

My sister used mj when she was receiving radiation after breast cancer. She was not a recreational smoker before radiation and is not a recreational smoker today. But she said that it did help her during treatment with the nausea/ appetite.

to dante: these verbal assaults toward you are mostly ill-founded. I see that you made an observation based on the most typical drug-user. As you've seen with your responses, there are exceptions to that type.
What I enjoy so much about this thread is that it got the attention of the sophisticated and intelligent ppl on these boards who usually don't care to comment in a less thought-inspiring forum. I'm sure most of them are quietly proud of their elevated minds and don't enjoy being classified with those who prefer more intellectually deficient, pacifying activities. For that reason, I'd make less general dictums if I did have something to say, that way there'd be room for the smart ones to feel they weren't the targets of accusation.

However, your first post hit home immediately to me; I'm always trying to talk about classical or sophisticated topics to people I party with, and they generally groove on it sufficiently, but at the end it usually seems like their attitude is "whatever, I just came here to party, not to learn and shit." And I'm thinking, "But that's what partying is to me. Am I just a total nerd for wanting to expand my mind in this way, despite being surrounded by the ignorant?"

You're a cool fucker dude, don't let these jackasses give u shit-the ignorant tend to get mad when they're confronted with something they don't understand
