Cannabis works better on me than coffee. Actually wakes me up and motivates me to do things where coffee.... I don't even know these days.... seems more of a habit than something that actually wakes me up.

Damn I envy you. Cannabis makes me mentally slower. No matter if indica or sativa. Thereby I drink coffee ever morning.

My grandma Betty is 98 and has chain smoked her whole life she also loves the vodka. I don’t recommend this lifestyle but it doesn’t seem to have affected at least her.

My story about cigs and weed....and living.
In 1967, at 18 and first year of college, cold weather began causing sharp chest pains that was dx'ed as 'blebs' leaking causing the knife like pains.... Took some kind of pharm shit but mostly just avoided cold when possible. Still occasional issues.
In 1977, I enjoyed Sunday hot dates flying around in a light plane with a favorite bong....one winter day with snow on the ground.... damn pretty from a birds view.
My left lung collapsed. Xrays showed nothing else so exploratory surgery was done....and opened up I was....

Paranoid as hell because weed WAS ILLEGAL, I decided to advise the surgeon that I was a pretty heavy cannabis user...had been 7 years..

Well, in walked the surgeon and before I could speak, he began praising me for being a non smoker...my lung tissue was pink as new...

Kept my weed news to myself.

The problem was a grapefruit sized cyst in a lung...same type soft tissue that just didn't stand out in xrays over the 10 yrs....

I lost 1 of 5 lobes of my lungs and told if I was a cigarette smoker, I'd have been dead years ago.

Been smoking weed for 50 years now. Have never had another lung issue.

A funny story about my ICU stay...

I would get sick after the pain shots I was being given....but the one nurse would give me a shot that wouldn't bother me at all...
I told a nurse I wanted a shot like 'the other nurse' gave.....

Guess what, was found that my pain shots were being taken by someone else.

BOTTOM LINE>>>>Nurse was fired and prosecuted and I found out I couldn't tolerate pain meds. To this day, after several surgeries and life wounds, my only pain relief is cannabis.

Howdy, I have similar experiences with my Kidney specialist. When i was being vetted for a kidney transplant I told the interviewers of my cannabis use. They nodded and said " let's just keep that to ourselves for now. 6 years into my transplant and my doctors always comment on how nice and clear my lungs sound!
So, in closing, it's OK to smoke, just be smokin' the good stuff :mrgreen:...
