I Need a Second View On This

[greentumbthinker]

i believe i am posting this in the right place if not i will delete it and move it to the right place.

i been with my girlfriend for 4 months now and i have not told her that i use a bit of the happy weed to relive my headaches and insomnia at the end of the week. it help with just the pain of my size (i am a fairly tall and somewhat large man and after a week everything hurts). i was going to tell her last week until she told me how much she hates it, due to her ex keeping it hidden from her (i haven't smoke while with her, and i have be honest and told her that i hadn't since we meet). but i really want to get some sleep.

do you guys believe if i explain it to her just to cure my pains she would be cool with it. or do you think i am screwed?

Ask her to watch a documentary with you, such as In Pot We Trust. My mother didn't believe cannabis had any medicinal effects until she saw the girl with CP who had difficulty just sitting and talking transform after a few hits.

She might wonder though, if your pain is such a burden, how have you gone 4 months without meds, and why have you kept it from her. (just like her ex) Of course I understand you hid the desire, not the behavior, but will she?

I agree with Heisenberg, have an open discussion with her, see if she willl look at some MMJ info. Be prepared for her to equate weed with her ex boyfriend. You will eventually find out if her ex was a dick or if she is just anti pot. Go slow and don't keep it from her. It will just give her more ammunition to keep thinking about her ex doing it on the sly, maybe THAT is that is her bigger problem and not weed in itself per se.

Good luck, I'll follow your post

just tell her the truth about cannabis. if she's still opposed to it and hates it, i say drop her.

it doesn't matter what your reason is for burning. lying, because that's what you're doing to yourself and her, is not a good foundation for the relationship. secondly, think about this...you're accepting her for not accepting you. keep it real and if you gotta move on so be it. fear should be a motivator not a crippler.

Maybe the ex had to hide it from her because she just would not except it. I would just tell her the truth. But if you don't take care of your needs because of her opinions than you won't be happy anyway. Hiding it will accomplish nothing but wasting both of your time.

Just lay it out there and tell her how it is. If she isn't cool with it then do you really wanna spend the rest of your life with her? She's gonna have to accept you for you, and that means accepting the medicine. Keep it real bro.

I'm sure your girlfriend will understand. Just remember to fully explain the reasons why you smoke. Also, it's good if you tell her that there are no more secrets.

update to all who want to know.

it wasn't just a bad bf that soured her to cannabis but a best friend who lost control on it and went from some times to all the time smoking. due to the fact i look at it as the cure to what i have and not just something else for fun. she is also fearing it is illegal and i would get caught due to living in a non medical pot state.

i did go to the doctors for her and got sleeping pills but as i told her this morning they are not working(and honestly they are not). after 30days on the sleeping pills if i still want to go back to it she will. as long as it is for want i stand to be. i love my woman, true i have to wait 30 days but i don't need to lie to her was well and i can get some sleep.

for the record i hide nothing from her. reason i haven't smoked in a few months. i have told her honestly why i want to use and and when. i didn't pressure her or force her in to her call on it. her see how tried i am and how horrible i feel. and understands i don't get massively baked and walk around. i just take 2 to 3 hits , and just relax for a few hours no driving no working. and she sounds fine with it fearful i may misuse. but the field i need to be somewhat control.

now i just need to make her o.k. with my box i made, 2 months of planing it out, holds only 2 growing plants but for me, that's all i need

My thoughts exactly! =]

in 1484, Roman Pope Innocent VIII started to believe witches exist and that they were midwives and herbalists who used unholy potions and caused the bad weather. Well, we all know that if someone had magical powers to create storms, they wouldn’t have allowed themselves to be tortured and burned at the steak right? He also declared in 1484, that cannabis was an unholy sacrament. King Ferdinand of Aragon also gave Pope Innocent VIII one-hundred Moorish slaves who shared them with his “favorite cardinals.” The whole chapter of Exodus is about God exiling the slaves from Egypt. This is unjustified redundant corruption/racism.

It helps me sleep too man. I have anklyosing spondylitis. a form of arthritis. Cannabis Indica is so much better than sativa for my problems too. It sucks though cuz my friend who i always smoke with has anxiety/depression so he loves sativa.
Just explain to her that hemp/especially hemp oil is perfect medicine. and completely safe. no one dies from weed.
