Damn straight! I tried some legal buds, they scare the shit outta me! MJ is so much easier on the body than all this manmade crap. I grow primarily for my own recreation, but ive a friend that uses it for her severe back issues. She has pinched nerves and pains shoot down her legs. This has been an issue for years and the docs aint doing shit for her. Since i started growing, Ive been in close contact with her. The first brownie she ever ate allowed her to go motorcycle riding with me!! That was the first time in 3yrs!! Dont get all hi an mighty on me, yes she was driving under the influence. BUT, we both noticed that even with a small body buzz from eating, neither of us noticed a head change at all. I was disappointed cuz i wanted to get high, she was thrilled because she could walk w/o pain.
So, I smoke to get high, and eat buds to cure physical ailments. ITs not nearly the same thing for some reason. Of course, she ate 4 brownies at once, and we learned that you can get way fukd up by eating it. She didnt go anywhere that time, and vowed to not overdose again. Albiet it wasnt pleasant for her, she said that if she had to OD on a drug, this one was the easiest to recover from. Since, I discuss all my growing strains with her, and she gets a %50 discount on the choice nugs. I grow under the cleanest conditions i can, in hydroton, and nevr use chemical on the leaves themselves. Since I'm now a pharmacist for her, Im stepping up my game to try and get her the cleanest nugs possible. Growing for recreation is one thing, but once I took on a medical customer, it became serious to me. Fun is fun, medicine....now thats not a game!
As for my medication. I am physically well, and dont have any chronic pain. However, I am a VERY hi-strung person. I cant sit in one spot for more than 20minutes, and I never shut the hell up. Im sure theres a mental condition I fit in (less broad than plain crazy). Smoking MJ keeps me a tad more level headed. I still outperform my fellow workers (rediculous energy level of mine), but now I can actually stop moving and take a break w/o feeling like im nervous. Yes, grill me for working under the influence. Judge me for putting everyone in danger. The truth is, Im the head technician where I am. Ive been there over 8yrs, and have nary a one insurance claim for excessive damages. EVERY single person I work with, refers to me for information and diagnostics. My customers respect me for my knowledge, and Ive cost the shop less in damages than ANY of the other workers. Add this to the fact that my boss knows i come to work stoned, yet still trusts me to run the place when he needs a day off. Im not saying this to brag, I'm pointing out that its obvious that marijuana has mental medical use. Being a daily smoker for yrs, I function fine under the influence, and would like to think that perhaps I'm using it for a medical reason, even tho I label my use as recreation? Im just trying to make sure I'm not looking for an excuse to smoke, while belittling ppl that use it legitimately w/o question. anyone got any opinions on the mental use of MJ?
The damn laws are total bullshit. We still dont understand MJ completely, yet out of ignorance comes hatred and prohibition. This brand of thinking has been around since the white guys jacked the indians. Won't it be the greatest day when mj is legal enough that we can come out and tell people we smoke? Imagine the shock on the faces of the people that judge potheads, when i tell em that their mechanic has been stoned since the day we met. So much for weed making people into lazy, irresponsible, brain dead, unreliable, and dangerous workers. Take away the states ability to lock me up, and the general public will HAVE TO accept the fact that MJ isnt a monster. Sorry for the hi-jack, me thinks its time for another hit. Shoulda smoked more bofore loggin in to rollitup, and yall wouldnt have as much of my bs to read.
Happy growing!
