Well, the headaches aren't completely driving the decision, but they're making it easier to quit. It's a combination of those headaches with the fact that my sister's not feeling like smoking any more, and so there's no real justifiable need for us to buy the stuff anymore. She has cancer, and weed originally helped her feel less nauseated and more like eating, but now the inhaling and coughing afterwards is hurting her insides where the tumor growth is. Plus I'm starting med school in a couple of weeks, and I'll have to agree to be an upstanding, law-abiding, "drug"-free citizen just as a matter of routine.

So it's just sort of the right time, all things considered, to give up what for me is an expensive but pleasant indulgence. I'll miss the effects of it (except the headaches). And down the road a couple of decades when I retire, I may well try it again. I still intend to be a strong advocate for medical marijuana use and decriminalization for recreational use as I train to be a doctor, and I think I'd like to be involved in research or experimental studies toward that end. So I won't totally abandon the culture even if I give up on the herb itself.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Weed and Sinus Infections, correlation? A few weeks ago I was having horrible tooth pain and constant headaches (they were more painful and prominent when I would smoke weed)--went to the dentist and only had one cavity. The tooth pain and head aches were actually caused by a sinus infection and the Dentist gave me some antibiotics--headaches went away. I'm getting the same toothache & slight headache combo again now just a lot less frequent and a more dulled pain and I think it happens more when I'm burning. Does anyone know if Rating: 5
