Marijuana

[Kaon]

You can choose between CBD oil or Low THC buds in jars in the dispensary.

But, you still need alcohol, or some other similar/derivative functional group to extract the alcohol-soluble CBD. "Legal" AND needs to be processed.

THC is alcohol soluble also, but you don't need to process it as a smoke/vapor. And, you don't need chemical processing to make edibles, since only heat and fat are necessary to extract the cannabinols.

I'm not promising that prescription drugs are safer. But at least they are tested on large populations and the side effects are documented and monitored. On the other hand, illegally sourced remedies have zero oversight. Also the FDA has a policy of not combining ingredients and so cannot test natural remedies. My sister and I both took one drug and had the same withdrawal symptoms, and my doctor refused to admit it had that side effect.....till years later and everyone knew about it.

Plus the FDA has problems keeping doctors from being influenced. But it's all still better than illeagal sources. That's why pot is becoming legal. Both for taxes and monitoring.

Make it legal, if its any good at all that is. Im still sitting on the fence, not knowing if this drug is good or bad.

I'm not sure where you are writing from.
The District of Columbia and 10 states -- Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington -- have adopted the most expansive laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use
State Marijuana Laws in 2018 Map

State legalization doesn't matter.

States don't use their States' rights, so the Federal Government can come into any if those states and arrest someone for the possession and/or distribution of the "drug." That is why CBD has been presented to the masses in the first place.

Cannabis - the actual naturally growing plant - is Federally illegal.

In my experience, weed might help people but the bad thing about weed is that its addictive and costs money. The paranoia is also a factor but that can be overcome easily, imo. Should it be legal to grow? Is it anti spiritual? I dont know but i dont think its the abomination that people might think it is. But i could be wrong. Im just a christian who lives on medication, but also on Jesus. Without Him my meds would be worthless. He gives me hope, peace, and joy. I still have battles in the mind but i have Jesus Praise the Lord.

It's not addictive in most cases. Physically it helps people with opiate addictions break the habit becasue it reduces the pain of withdrawal from opiates and is not physically addictive itself. There is alway physiological addiction but those problems are comparatively minor.

"W2L, post: 73526278, member: 388513"]Honestly i have concerns about the medication im on. Im worried its not safe for my body. I wouldn't take it at all but i think it might be helping with some things. Some people say that medication is a sign of weak faith or whatever else they believe, but im not bothered by their criticism, im humbled in my low estate, and i thank God for that. All things work good for those who love God. So praise the Lord! I feel so blessed.
[/QUOTE
It's not necessarily a matter of 'weak' nor of 'strong' faith - whoever does take it has faith that it 'works',
or just thinks they have to.
When it works, good.

Make it legal, if its any good at all that is. Im still sitting on the fence, not knowing if this drug is good or bad.

There are plenty of legal useful things, but not widely known, per se. See a doctor trained in what is much older than current medicine, but is uniquely or unusually called alternative medicine (it came thousands of years BEFORE current medicine) ....

BY TESTING, he should be able to show clearly, the same as anyone in the world TESTS you could do,
what will help, and what will not,
and what is going on in the body.
Then, on the TEST RESULTS, determine what is needed for the body, if anything, to help get the body balanced again, as much as feasible or possible.

I dont know, for most people it seems addictive. It is however not as bad as heroin.

Essential oils MIGHT help, are not addictive, are legal to buy, and may have no side effects or drug effects when used properly.

The varieties with low THC have no addictive properties, and THC is not physically addicting.

I know that God made plants for our meat and medicine. I have been an herbalist for over 30 years.
But as I look at this plant, I think the problem is the smoking of it. Normally, one would never want to smoke any herb. Burning herbs creates many new and potentially harmful chemicals. Breathing it in on purpose just doesn't seem too clever.
If you really look at it for what it is,you should see that it is a food. A spice. The strong aroma gives it away. And it would obviously be used like one. And here is the kicker....IN MODERATION, just like all the other herbs..
Imagine a bakers pinch of oregano in your pasta sauce. It's great. But nobody would put a whole tablespoon of it on your plate, as it would give you some negative effects.
From the research I am aware of, the benefits of cannabis are fully available in micro amounts. That would be like a small pinch. All of the stories we hear about red eyes, dry mouth, anxiety and the like are simply side effects from over consuming it. It's really that simple. And it appears that eating it is the best method, as a large portion of the endocannabanoid system is located in the gut.
And the gut is where most diseases begin.

One day i didnt take my meds and i felt horrible. I smoked weed and felt so much better. Of course with weed you have the paranoia, so it has its disadvantages. However look at the side effects of the meds which the drug companies are selling us. Maybe weed isnt so bad. I dunno. It surely doesnt make you drunk like alcohol does. No slurred speech, stumbling around, acting like a fool.

God's Cannabis plant doesn't cause paranoia, AKA, fear. What God's plant does, is show you the truth of what is inside of you. Cannabis "wakes us up" to the truth that is within us. So, this means that when I felt paranoia after using God's plant, the "medicine" was showing me the truth of myself, which is that I was consumed with fear.

I didn't realize it, but Cannabis was showing me that I needed to work on my fear. But as said, we humans are satisified to tell ourselves, "I'm not afraid of anything, so the paranoia is not real nor does it reflect me at all!" We cannot think like this anylonger. If Cannabis is pointing out that we are afraid, then we must do something about it.

Also, with normal Cannabis use, we shouldn't experience bad side affects. It's when people want to inject just ridiculous amounts of Cannabis that people begin to suffer. And I dare say that Cannabis is no more addictive than sex, driving fast, or being cruel to oneanother. Regardless of what we do, we need to possess self-control....and Christians ought not choose what they control and do not control.

Food is addictive. Sex is addictive. If both go unchecked, they will both kill us. This isn't about addiction.

What is your own personal experience with this God-made plant?

 

[W2L]

I am sure actually. My doctor says it causes paranoia

Why isnt it about that?

My own experience is that marijuana is addictive. It can cause panic attacks but not always. The worst part is that its addictive.

 

[Thess]

I'm sure that your doctor would say that as his knowledge increases with time, so does his understanding of how wrong he has been in the past. I can prove, through my own life, that it does not cause paranoia.

Ignorance never makes anyone correct.

I don't undersand. The answer to your question is in my post/reply to what you said. Hmmm....
