Natural as potato and tomato greens, right? Or perhaps a little nightshade.0

Correlation != causation. Same with the red wine being good for you theory.0

I find it funny that people still go on about medical marijuana for glaucoma when it does nothing for glaucoma last I saw any medical review.
I'm perfectly fine with adults doing it because they want to. I find it kind of sad that people have to invent medical properties for it as a means to justify legalizing it to a bunch of people.0 -

No one should have to "justify" it, even to themselves. If you like doing it and accept the health risks that it does come with, then don't worry about what other people think. Personally, I used to smoke weed every day for about 3 years. I quit because I felt I wasn't personally capable of restraining myself enough for it to not affect my life. However, there are plenty of people who are much better at controlling it, so they can do it daily without issue.
tl;dr: Don't worry about what other people think.0 -

If OP didn't need to justify it, why post on an open forum? If he wants to toke up, it's his business. I didn't understand what the yippee was for, so I asked, which he agreed with it being for what I asked in my second question. Apologies for wanting clarification on something I don't understand.
And I thought pot smoking mellowed people out.

Hahaha! That is funny. ::laugh:: Wait, maybe not. Unless we're smoking weed.
One thing it does help with is curbing nausea associated with chemotherapy.0 -

Then perhaps starting this thread wasn't such a good idea.
I remember a long time ago when I used to smoke weed, I thought I came up with all sorts of absolutely brilliant ideas when I was high. I even wrote some of them down, so I'd be sure to remember them in the morning.
The next day? They weren't so brilliant. LMAO.0 -

Yeah, I think there's some palliative qualities for people who are suffering, but I'm not sure about any true medicinal effects. I think the research is still out.
When I partake, it's to get high. Full stop. I don't feel the need to justify it any more than I feel the need to justify my beer guzzling on a party weekend. Sometimes I wanna get crunk, and that's okay.0 -

That and pain management are about the only areas I see marijuana having real medical benefits. I get really irate when people talk about using cannabis oil to cure all the big pharma diseases and "oh man, it's a conspiracy. They don't want to lose their profits because nature can cure your everything man. I smoked pot last week and now the scab I had was gone, think what it could do to actually get rid of cancer. Oh and Tommy Chong self diagnoised with prostate cancer and now he self diagnosed as not having it, so it cures stuff, man. Conspiracy that big pharma wants to protect their profits, man."
To which my best response is, "good thing marijuana has never been thought to make anyone paranoid. Otherwise I might doubt all these conspiracies you've uncovered."0 -
Betcha y'all be drinkin' that wine and smokin' them tweeds....0
