Personally, I don't care if it's approved for personal use but I definitely think it should be legalized for medical use. I know people can be too wasted to drive safely or operate equipment that could be dangerous but any medical benefits should be explored. The ability to moderate seizures is a big one- I don't remember anyone saying "Oh, wow- my pain is gone, now that I'm stoned!" but apparently, it helps. Maybe it's the new strains that make this possible.

The Feds won't do anything until Congress realizes their jobs are on the line if they don't change their thinking.
May people I know who have had chemo therapy in their fight against cancer use MJ to lessen the side affects of chemo. Side affects of chemo is often nerve damage. It should be legallized for medical reasons.

Another side effect of chemo is the inability to keep food down (emesis) and the only way a person can fight some illnesses is by being well nourished. Pot has been know for a long time as an anti-emetic- we know it gives people the munchies, right?

It should definitely be legal for medical use- it helps with seizures, anxiety (I never understood how a drug that makes people paranoid can help relieve anxiety) and many other ailments.

Me neither.

There's like an arc to the buzz. Early on there is a short lived period of anxiety/paranoia. It passes. The munchies don't hit until the down slide. Eating right after smoking wouldn't work at all ... according to a friend.

The pain relief part lasts throughout. Even weak/lame weed can and has worked well for that despite lacking buzz inducing potency. My friend still prefers the good sh!t.

Anxiety actually inceases with long term pot use. I've seen it happen first hand. Its a quick short term fix but a long term disaster.

The other alternative is CBD oil.

Tonight this friend went for the opiates. It's gonna suck tomorrow but I'll just take more opiates. Wouldn't want a "long term disaster" on my hands from weed. I mean his hands.

When I work out at the gym the most I want to do is just consume carbs after the workout. That's about it, so try something safe.

The main reason Cannabis has been used when someone is undergoing chemo is to act as an anti-emetic, to allow them to consume the food they need for their recovery.

Sorry for reviving this thread.
Guys, in countries where you live (and weed is legal), how do you get it? Do you have stores, or clinics, or something like that?

In the UK, only medical cannabis is legal. And patients with a valid prescription are legally permitted to use, carry, and possess this type of cannabis because it is their medication. This article on cannabis laws in the UK describes it in detail.
Also, smoking cannabis is illegal in the UK, and although medical cannabis is legal in the UK, it is a criminal offence to administer cannabis in this way.

In Massachusetts where I live, there are stores for just the cannabis-related products. I've never been in one, so I don't know if they also sell things like rolling machines and papers, pipes, etc.

We've had so many stores open up that some are now closing, which is a sign of saturation. I buy it for my wife, but direct from a grower who isn't part of the government-controlled (taxed) game. I quit when i was 28 and haven't partaken since then, and I'm 64 now.

In Canada, we have stores managed by provincial governments.

It's a smart move to put those resources elsewhere instead of focusing on something that’s now regulated and openly sold.

I don’t use cannabis much myself, but I get that people like having the option without the risk. I’ve tried other ways to unwind, like vaping VIHO Supercharge, which has been a nice alternative for relaxing without any fuss.

    • Cancer
    • Epilepsy
    • Glaucoma
    • HIV
    • AIDS
    • Seizures
    • Crohn’s disease
    • Chronic muscle spasms
    • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
    • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
