I do use, i do grow and i love my plants.they r basically my life. But im noy going to act like mj doesnt hurt brain cells. It can. First, holding in the smoke kill brain cells. But dont take that statement as me not think mj is helpful. It is. But.even.beneficial things hurt rhe brain sometimes. Ppl build muscle.by tear fibers. Brain restructuring happens contantly. The main.point im makimg is the comtrary to.how ppl r taking it. Mj hurts the brain, it doesn't mean its bad overall. If u see studies that say marijuana can hurt u. Its true. So can beer and it can also help the braim if used moderaly and in proportion. Mj is similar. Dont think that because i accept the negatives of a substance, i dont appreciate the positive. But the hippies here i hope could at least accept that all things will come will positives amd negatives its based on what and how you measure. Can i show degradation of brain components in the brains of "heavy" cannabis users? Probably, but that may even b limited to one chemical in cannabis. Or multiple, Idk but there is evidence for both sides. That mj heals and mj hurts. If u have a chronic mental illness mj may not help u. Such a schizophrenia or bipolar disorder but may help anxiety. And some mj with different concentrations of different chemicals can make small differences. Hell, one of my patients has to give me his stuff to grind up cuz if he does it, he gets an eczema like rash on his hands, but he's smoke for years. Hes in his 30s. So its sometimes easy to show results that are not always indicative to a general population but may just exsist in some population sampls and.mayb some species of mj. Which is nearly impossible to pinpoint due to breeding and hybridization, no plant is pure Oaxacan anymore .lol.
Im glad it helps u, it helps me. But it does have drawbacks and i stick to that. But for most people in need of an effective vice andor medicine the drawbacks r less significant than the relief.
Thank you
Right now I'm on a lot of Pharm meds. I do not mind sharing my story. Thats what makes are knowledge about this get better. Here's my list. Wait. Now these medications don't work sometimes. This morning I finally got a theraputic response from MJ. I woke up today without a migraine. I might not have any today. I have a severe migraine daily. I need 4 to 6 hours to sleep it off. Longest one was 8 hours. When I wake up I have a hang over type feeling. I do vape my buds. I prefer the taste that is missing once fire hits it. Ok medicines
Depakote 250mg tabs 2 in morning 3 before bed. Anti-epileptic
Klonopin 1mg tab in the morning 1 tab before bed. Anti-psychotic
Seroquel 400mg tab. To keep me out of jail. Makes me pass out when I desire to kill people with my hands. This is for real. I can turn into a killer in less than a second. As needed. I can take up to 2 at a time.
Hydroxyz 50mg tab may take up to eight a day. Max dose per PDR. To calm me down. Try to calm anxiety. As needed
Zoloft 100mg at bed time. Anti-Depressant. Anti-psychotic. Needs to be paired with other medicines.
Seroquel 200mg tab before bed everyday. Anti-psychotic
Bupropn HCL 300mg every morning. Low strength anti-depressant. Also a smoking cesation med. I can use Nicotine when needed without an addiction with this pill.
Flexeril HCL 10mg before bed. Muscle relaxor. An attempt to control my Chronic pain/fibromyalgia syndrome.
Lipitor 10mg before bed. Cholesterol big deal
Right now because of the mj I'm comfortable and solidly in control of myself. Every doctor that looks at my meds says I'm on some pretty heavy drugs. I don't look new medicines up on line anymore.
Every one of my symptoms gets covered by MJ now.
I'm pretty sure today will get the right level in me. I felt it when I woke up. Didn't have a migraine. Still woke up in severe body pain. So it's a start. I have tried looking up the negatives. Not easy. Its like you are asking Google how old the earth is?
Before I started growing. It has taken me a year to get my shit together. I researched as much as I could for 2 months. I'm disabled. So I'm home. In order for me to do this I needed to be comfortable with it. Once I got that. I then started on making my closet into a grow area. It takes me a while to do anything. With my good mj in me still at a sober level. I can get lots done. I can see a better future for myself. So much of my life has been taken away by all these troubles. So if mj was found to cause cancer I would still be taking it. I have a high tollerance to narcotic pain killers or even NSAID's. I can take 24 tylenhol at once. Not notice anything different. I can to the same ibuproprin. All that does is kill my liver. Narcotic pain meds I always add some NSAID's to it. Then the chance for help rises.
So now when I finally got the good stuff and it knocked me out I was surprised. I was thinking just a little better than narcotic. I'm glad I was wrong.
Its nice to be in control of all your symptoms that you have had for 3 and a half years now. The Rage or murder part. It is so nice to have that covered by Mj.
Just wanted to share. Many tokes to you.
