You guys are who give mmj a bad name. I take it for my mania( I'm very bi-polar, to the point of hallucinations and psychosis). For those few hours, nothing exists. The voices and yelling go away. The next day I have the residual effects and can be happy.
My wife calls me a loser the next day and a weak person. That I'm a pathetic pot head.
After I take it as a medication, the next day I have relief. If I was doing it for fun, I'd do some killer indica and get totally fucked up. I wouldn't do a sativa. I certainly wouldn't eat magical cookies either. Eating goes in waves. You're only partly high. Then at the end, about 15 minutes of not knowing a damn thing, about four hours later.
Mmj works about the same as the anti-convulsants I used to be on. Without the dry mouth, numb face, pins and needles in my feet, nose bleeds and not able to drink soda. Plus I had this craving for citric acid.
Now I don't have to worry about thyroid damage, liver failure or kidney failure.
I wouldn't smoke or eat mmj if I didn't have this mental disorder. Being crazy isn't fun. I wish more than anything I could get cured. I'd never do it again. I've been an mmj patient since last August. For over 33 years I never touched marijuana.
