Sometimes I feel like I just want to get out of here..

[ChemisTree]

I'm a chemist. I'm also a chronic pain person (although it's not extreme) and a depressive (atypical + extreme fatigue).

Short story long, I discovered that weed can flat out cure not only my pain (temporarily) but also has longer term positive effects on my depression. It's a pretty damned night and day difference.

And I just have this urge to rebel, to drop out of the PhD program. To use my knowledge of chemistry to live somewhere, grow awesome weed, and hand it out for free to people in need.

I don't know. I suppose I should finish the program, get my doctorate, and have a 'legitimate' job. Blah.

Ever have that feeling? I mean, not just the thought, but the urge to make plans?

im a have to agree, look at what your gonna miss. why not do both?

i gotta agree. i would say stick with it and maybe not too long in the future u will be able to pursue some of your goals to help people.

 

[ChemisTree]

^^ Everything rings true. Ideally I would love to do both. I guess there's nothing stopping me from doing both.

i hear ya bro, mj turned my life around, ive been on every anti-depressent(and just about any other pill they said *might* work on my depression/bipolar/schizo affective) and they never did shit for me, I had absolutely lost hope and motivation when one day my old smoking buddy came up(i had quit smoking when on the meds,had no choice if i wanted the meds from them which i was optimistic about th meds working, fucking bitch social worker, lol) and asked if i wanted to burn one, i was like fuck it, might as well. a week later i told the social worker and doctor to fuck themselves and i didnt want or need their assistance in any way anymore. i sometimes wonder what would of happened if i had never smoked that bowl and then started smoking again.(dead is my guess). I've never thought of growing and giving it to strangers(not that its a bad idea, i just dont grow enough to do it and it never crossed my mind.lol) but i already do give my little brother and a few close friends some bud when i harvest.

 

[darkdestruction420]

if you only grow bud and give it out for free and dont work where is your income gonna be coming from?

 

[curious old fart]

As a suggestion, finish your program and work at the marijuana farm at the Univ. of Miss. Who says business can't be a pleasure?

Peace

just get your phd and keep smoking in the underground that way no problems and you dropping your phd program would enforce the stereotype that people who smoke can;t do anything they want like everyone else

 

[ChemisTree]

Yeah, that whole money thing would suck .

And I wouldn't give it out to strangers per say. I myself need it, my one brother in law was diagnosed with MS, his wife has pain problems, my other brother in law has necrosis of the cartilage in his body and additionally my very good friend has depression.

I guess I'll just grow and 'keep it in the family' for now.

yea man what the fuck is wrong with this country usa that is the land of the not so free.here we have plant or so they call drug! that has so so so many good uses. why must we hide like criminals to use and cultivate? i am boggled my friends and tired tired tired

Well if you do drop out, hit me up. We can experiment together and get some mdma going and I'll buy a candy machine. Na... but for real.

 

[darkdestruction420]

hmmmm, that mdma comment made me think of another option*drum roll please*.......lsd. or is it harder to make that than it is to make mdma?

 

[Yeah]

I don't even know, that's why I need a chemist to be my partner in crime. When you see some white rhinos floatin' around you know the tag team behind 'em.

LSD is highly difficult to make from what I've read. Even for chemists the precursors to the precursors for LSD synthesis are highly controlled. You would need to grow the ergot grain fungus on rye or something similar, extract the Lysergic Acid then a few simple organic synthesis tricks + crystallization would net you LSD-25. You may or may not remember the guys who were supplying a third of the nations LSD when they got busted. Growing in a missile silo. How cool is that? So, yeah, I think high purity MDMA would be easier to synthesize.

But alas, I'm not really interested in any drugs other than cannabis, but you guys make me laugh .

I feel you bro. Just think of the ca$h and come to the dark side. And we could grow some bomb together since I should get my medical card soon.

 

[IAm5toned]

stick with it, youve come this far, get the degree, and get a job, so then you can afford to help people....
