Let’s have an open,frank and real discussion about the use of Delta 8 thc

[Bestafar]

Ok but consider there are two ways offered that deal with this. One is to coat receptors that stimulate pain or nerve inflammation (prescription drugs do this also) thus stopping the signal, and the other is to dull the senses and distract our attention. CBD does the first while THC does the second. The coating will last 12 hours while the distraction needs repetitive refuelling. So is euphoria the better option or do we self justify to enjoy the buzz?

I hear you, I'm finding the D8 is great as a natural anti histamine for my hay fever and sneezing fits without the nasty side effects of the anti histamine and allergy drugs. As far as "enjoying the buzz" - good point but my honest question is why the enjoyable "buzz" of D8 is bad while the same we seek with a beer or coffee is fine and culturally acceptable? I know some are against coffee and a beer as well which is the most consistent - to class them all together if one feels that way. Is pleasure from God made plants, even food - negative?

So is raw honey taken daily to build up immunity. Works the same way as allergen shots one gets for a year to build up permanent immunity. Not an instant fix though.

As far as being an ethical question, good point. Also what person who may reject CBD/THC, coffee/tea or wine, might still take a pharmaceutical. Why is that different?

Totally agree, like so many things the point is walking by faith for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. The early believers faced the same sort of confusion in dealing with meat offered to idols, the sabbath, circumcision, etc. If we let God's peace rule He will guide an honest heart. With so many different backgrounds and frames of reference that we all come from its no wonder we often see things quite differently - but the point and what matters is love and respect. Major on the main things, not the minor ones. Thank for all your input, its been interesting and thought provoking. Would be cool to really know who we are chatting with. The down side of such a forum. Anyway I may be back later - I'm in a real busy season in my wood shop and will sign off for awhile.

Thanks for your thoughts, I'm no bot (-: I just now come on to see if there were any responses - looks good. I am 67, and you ask why now? After turning back to Christ about 45 years ago, I walked away from the drug world, smoking pot, dropping acid, and selling homegrown and otherwise in LA. Since then for all these years, It all left my thoughts since I knew it was all illegal in most states. Just recently I heard of Delta 8 which is not illegal, and is sold all over the US. It contains amounts of thc below what is considered illegal. I just wanted some input. From what I researched online, I get the impression that what can be purchased is not synthetic, but derived from hemp. I'm not speaking at all about the regular weed sold today, that is largely illegal. Only the delta 8. Most likely, you can buy it really cheaply from local stores in your home town. It does have pretty amazing medicinal properties. Since it is legal, and freely being offered - is there any reason we as believers ought to avoid it? We drink coffee for what it does for us, giving alert mind and short term energy.

D8 is modified CBD. It's modified to give results like THC. Some states allow it, some don't.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Ephesians 5:18
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 Peter 4:7
The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

I stopped using the liquid form orally, but it can take away bone or muscle pain like a miracle drug when used as a lotion. Used internally I got dry eyes that got lightly infected so that stopped that.

Really getting to the bottom of the question now. So I’m faced with the option to work with restless leg syndrome by watching movies online full of the trash that most movies are full of these days, and find help with bad hay fever by take prescription drugs many of which have serious side effects and either are addicting or lead to addiction, or eat a D8 gummy and feel an enjoyable buzz with something God made that is not addictive and gives no bad side effects. I’ll let my choice options speak for themselves as to the path that I’d prefer. Not all can handle this and not all should. Background, frame of reference, and many factors determine where we each are concerning total abstinence from any alcohol, cbd, D8, and even coffee, sugar, and things like a cigar or chew. To find our ways in this corrupt world where I personally do not trust the medical system- a challenge it is. Respect and really hearing one another with out judgement is awesome. Those that can’t feel safe in such a discussion need not be here.

I’m interested Skywriter, in more specifically what exactly you are referring to in your last paragraph. Would you expound more on your experience and explain?

 

[ViaCrucis]

I definitely believe these things can function as portals. Alcohol included. Best to stay away completely imo.

So when I drink coffee in the morning I might be accidentally be doing some kind of summoning ritual for a demon? How does that work exactly?

What about using delta 8 for treating aches pains and sleep problems?

 

[Zion Princess]

The most important thing is to try to discern what God is saying to you about it and no one else. What is a sin for one person may not be for someone else. We are all in individuals in relationship with our creator who is the best one to tell us what’s right and wrong when it comes to certain substances. I think the goal is always to be completely substance free of every kind but we know this world ain’t easy and God is understanding of that and is just helping us work towards health and healing.

On a different angle altogether is the issue of what research is available to confirm if driving is impaired... Is there a safety issue ???

Lastly from a Christian perspective, I don't drink coffee or tea or indulge in any mind altering substances. I treasure my relationship with Jesus and walk with a deep sense of His peace. With this I have no need or interest in such substances - there are plenty of poisons in nature given that we are in a fallen cursed world. Better to keep ones mind on Him and reap the benefits of that love relationship in this life and the next.

With THC, yes. CBD, no

 

[OnlookerDelay]

Hi all. I'll resurrect this thread to ask if anybody used CBD for pain management or anxiety. If yes, did it help?

This forum is really not the place to learn and exchange relevant information about such questions.

 

[timothyu]

It works in the same way as prescription pain killers that block the pain receptors. It is made from industrial hemp commonly grown on farms for its various uses.

 

[Carl Emerson]

Yes, I've enjoyed its benefits for years.
I have not been to a pharmacy in probably five years. But I prefer the total natural package, not just the diffused CBDs. I would not touch lab made synthetic stuff. Nor would I vape it. This forum is really not the place to learn about it at all. I'm paranoid posting this comment. Peace

The question was to comment on the use of commercial CBD's for pain, not to promote smoking weed.

It's why I never did that. I appreciate your clarification.

It's frustrating when your body starts giving you grief earlier than expected, don't I know it. I'm 30, but my body feels like 50.

I use this CBD cream in such cases. It's effective for joint pain and inflammation, which can really take the edge off on tough days. And it's THC-free, so I don't have to worry about any psychoactive effects - it's purely for pain relief.

 

[L.A.M.B.]

I use the Delta8-THC gum.
D8 is legal in my state but I cannot do the vapes, they accerbate my asthma.
I use it for severe OA , fibromyalgia and bone pain. It also helps with my generalized anxiety bc my PCP does not believe in any form of a narcotic agent.
Big pharma & big government is a part of why our country is in a mess!
