Its actually better for you than vitamin C. Our biggest receptor system including our neurotransmitter receptor system is our endocannibinoid system. We have receptors all throughout our body.

Quit the meat and dairy, pick up the herb man.



NO, it's not.

certain organic compounds the body cannot synthesize - can't make it, bro. yet NEED it for health, survival. We get them from food and they are called vitamins

a severe vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy. It's rare nowadays as fruits are plentiful and its added to drinks/vit tablets. It wasn't rare years back and many died prematurely because of vitamin C deficiency. On the other side there's Cannabis- people do not need cannabis for survival, actually, we don't need it for good health

Vitamin C......Cannabis

Have been actively ingesting both for 41+ years now.....Have never had a rash between my butt cheeks due to excess cannabis.....but C? Ouch

There are many medical benefits but lets be honest and call a spade a spade. Majority of users are not using it for medical reasons, they just want the excuse to get high.

All good.....I crush Nutrilite daily so only risk is a modest OD if I also hit too much grape or Trop50 Orange Juice. But I only use juice in evening so sleep session allows my body to smooth right into preefered stasis

Heh...well in general public discussion w clients, social meets or whoever I find citing a few honest medical benefits is preferable to answering "Why do you use cannabis?" with "lt's none of your damn business"

While smiling, of course

Honest medical benefits I have observed in just the past 17 years since hitting age 40:

-- assists w easily falling asleep
-- Reduces - at least mildly - prostate expansion thus making all elimination smooth and happy 24/7
-- Absolutely assists with inhibiting impulsive feeling of needing to argue. I am far more agreeable and generally empathatic.

-- A very solid alternative to OTC analgesics for me which at most might mean 800mg ibuprofen and a 12hr naproxen tablet.

-- Absolutely aided me in past five to six years as I reduced my average monthly alcohol intake from approx 10 drinks to maybe 2 or 3 at three month intervals.

-- I play my guitar with increased accuracy and speed......very important for easing general state of mind

-- And when I want I can - even as a chronic user for 41 years - still get baked like a fucking cake

Anyone should be able to use it freely & legally for ANY reason, in my opinion.

It grows right out of the ground naturally.

Man is bigger than God or Mother Nature?

It's the biggest joke ever.

I've never tried it & probably never will but that's my belief...

Why does the reason of use matter? It still provides medical benefits either way. Sound like a grumpy old man, these guys at therx are rubbing off on you lol.

lol I think you just got use to reading the grumpy posts now you read everything from a grumpy tone.
I am just stating a fact. Many of the stoner supports ace argument is the medical benefits.
If used correctly there are medical benefits, but many of those benefits are lost once its exposed to heat.

our biggest receptor system is the endocannabiniod receptor system. Whatever you lose to heat is gained with heat.

What are the medical benefits for peoples ailments from it? How much or what is the difference of it from the street drug? This is sort of importance to me to get the facts on its purpose on how it works for a person.

I hate weed, hate everything about it, from the way it smells, to the effect it has. But if someone wants to put something in their body have at it. There are medical benefits when it comes to pain I guess, if it work for someone that is suffering, then that's good. What gets me, is the people that believe it's good for them, like it's vitamin C. It's not good for you, it's probably unhealthy.

You ever taken medicine for a stomach ache?

IMHO. I would hate weed and how it smelled and the affect it had if I wasn't smoking what I am smoking. If I didn't have this friend....I know for a fact I would hate it by now too. You grow out of the weed days. But this isn't just weed. This is medicine. It really depends on your connect. Because when the Cali firestorms were going on....it affected me. I wasn't able to get my piff. So we went other avenues and it is the same exact talk every time..... "oh yo my shits the best. Straight fire. I promise. " then when you look at it your like ehhhhh. Then when you smoke it u want to cu your head off.

So if you are smoking just to smoke. I really could not do that. The difference between medicinal marijuana and regular weed is astronomical. It's like saying a jv team can compete with a professional team. Once you notice the difference, that's the perfect analogy for it.


Or tasting fine wine compared to gas. Lol

My shit is a little more serious than stomach ach. A place right down the street from me is now selling recreational. I want something for pain and sleep, but I don't want to get stupid, and have zero tolerance with MJ, even the smallest amount will make me stoned.

Even the difference between medicinal and recreational is astronomical. That "recreational" shit is garbage. I don't know your pain, but sounds like the high cbd strains would help you. Or the cbd oil. Some of these indica dominate strains are designed for insomnia or lack of appetite. If you too get too high you will fall asleep or hit the fridge. One of those two things will happen.
