Cannabis and Death

[slpntrx5]

yeah, it's hard to explain. idk. i'm weird

well, when my grandmother died back in '05, i remember wanting a joint every minute of every day for the next 1-1/2 or 2 months, but i was never in the mood for it, if that makes sense..

I understand what you mean. Like you didn't really have any urges to smoke, but you just wanted to smoke to pass time and just forget about it. I don't know if I really explained it that well either, but I know what you mean I've had that feeling before.

I have lost, I find I need to stay sober and clear the situation, such as if there was fowl play, I usualy do smoke with some family members but only to remember not forget. And only when everyone(who smokes) is ready usuly while we fill the hole or right after. In my family it is tradition to burry our own, the women usuly handle the makeup, food, hosting, and the men usulay handel the digging, Pallbering, masses, burryal, notifying. I usualy have an uneasy stomach, quick or short fuse and other weird symtoms for about a week or two after everything is done, sometimes smoking helps sometimes it makes it worse.imp:

Well, my dad died, a little over a year before I started smoking. He died of lung cancer, so I felt guilty when I started smoking cigarettes a few months after his death.

I actually started smoking weed when I came home, looked outside for my cat that was missing for a few days, and then saw his body in my neighbors fenced in yard, their dogs killed my cat. I was a wreck, until my friend came over, and said getting high would make me feel better. It did. It was better than living in depression everyday, I never looked back and a week later I was a daily smoker.

Man that sounds so incredibly and disfunctionally unhealthy...

But to each his own I suppose.

Well dude, I pretty much smoke all the time. I'm pretty sure that if someone died, and I DIDN'T keep smoking, then I'd just be having to deal with those bitchy side-effects right at the time I really don't need to.

I don't think I'd necessarily smoke more, but I'd maintain the status quo.

Easy there Dr. Phil...cannabis helps alot with depression. I know that if I had a close family member die, I would toke up when nobody was around.

Whenever I have a hard day at school or on the job, I always toke up, and everything bad seems to go away...:rasta: For that guy, it would benefit more psychologically(sp) if he had a little enjoyment and forgot about what happened for a couple of hours than if he just stayed home all day and just pondered about the two deaths that had just happened.

As long as he knows that doing anything to alter your state of mind is not going to bring those ppl. you lost back, and you've accepted that your loved ones are history, smoking weed is fine.....

Just my .02:thumbsup:

Your two cents? And what came before was mine. Why deal with your problems when you can just smoke them away huh? Again, to each their own I suppose.

But I agree, smoking weed is fine. Tell me, are you familiar at all with the concept of "responsible use"?

[Reefer Rogue]

That's hard because maybe you'll feel guilty about being happy at such a sad time. However, how long can we stay depressed? We know we must eventually move on, so why not the sooner the better. I really don't know what i'd do, i know i definately wouldn't run and pack a bong but maybe later that day to releive stress. Agh, what a buzz kill =/
