You misconstrued my comment. I am definitely not anti-weed. I'm saying for those that get the munchies, particularly young men, that stuff their face with crap food and chemicals, THAT is what causes bitch tits.
No worries. Just trying to set the record straight. Teenage boys (or girls) should not be baking themselves on a daily basis. Once the neural pathways are developed at 25 or so, daily but not chronic usage is fine. Of course, for those that get the munchies, stuffing your face w garbage is a bad idea and far more damaging than anything weed can do.
I'm in VA. State just went legal for 1 oz off property and 4 plants per household. I'm sure Coonman and company will fuck it up. No sales until 2024. Interesting law.
Weed does makes you lazy. It makes you 100% fine with doing absolutely nothing. Where normally your body would tell you to get your ass up and do something meaningful. It makes you content with failure or loss. You should be training your mind and body every day.
Bingo. This meme/infographic is utter horseshit made out of ignorance and belief in Big Harma's constant barrage of lies over actual proof. They've been spouting all sorts of BS lies to hide what Marijuana can ACTUALLY do for people instead of using their poison.
Good, you're a teetotaler and a moral authority too. Bet you're a "hit" at parties.
weed addict
In 40 years of experience with the plant I've yet to meet one of these elusive, mythical creatures. Maybe in my next 40! Even NIDA admits only about 10% of regular consumers become habituated, which is a far cry from physical addiction.
Similarly as in the vax debate, free adults in a free society have the sole exclusive natural human right to determine what substances do and do not enter their own body. No one else. Period.
Hey I'm with you, we are called to be sober and sane and moral at all times. Weed gets in the way of this, despite what others might argue to defend their habits.
The relationship between opiods and seratonin and thc and other cannabinoids are quite obviously not the same. Your strawman is ridiculous. My argument is sound.
There are plenty of medical benefits from thc, cbd and other cannabinoids. And marijuana is not only natural, but you don't need to process it with solvents the way you need to process poppies to make heroin. You just let it dry. That's it.
We were comparing ethanol. A poison things produce when they rot. To marijuana, a plant that produces anti inflammatory bioactive compounds.
You know what else is full of beneficial bioactive compounds? Food.
And "exactly" what?? The body produces its own vitamin K, does that mean we don't need to ingest it? Talk about a ridiculous argument.
To compare Alcohol and Opium to Marijuana in that way demonstrates nothing other than your lack of knowledge of all three.
Falling for the anti-THC stigma is akin to being pro-vaxx... just like you wouldn't go around licking handrails and eating used masks... a common sense policy for health/sanitation is similar to a common sense policy for weed.
Yeah the fact this post is stickied is kind of ridiculous. Weed has helped my mother tremendously with her cancer fight. To deny the benefits that plant has and post an anti-marijuana meme hurts our movement. We’re trying to escape the medical and political establishment, not parrot their talking points.
I'm okay with the stickies. We need opposing view points or else we become an echo chamber. Actually kind of proud we have these top level comments in an anti pot post. Shows that we don't let mods steer the groupthink.
Wrong. It was because hemp threatened the paper industry and the guy who owned many of the newspapers ran a smear campaign, the birth of "yellow journalism" or as we call it today, FAKE NEWS.
It did though, because Anslinger and Hurst both rejected in congress and in the press (respectively) doctors opinion to congress that it was safe for consumption. You could say it was also a birthing of "Big Pharma" in that doctors got whipped by money.
that was part of the yellow journalism that hurst was printing in his papers.
he owned pretty much all the tree based paper production in the country, he was over invested, hemp paper production threatened his empire so he hired anslinger to lie to congress about it.
the same exact time anslinger was lying about "marijuana" the AMA was studying cannabis for it's medicinal uses.
I smoke a lot of weed (delta 8 thc federally legal) and work out with my home gym, ride bike daily, and work my ass off. You can't blame the pot for people being stupid - STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES and STUPID IS GONNA BE STUPID, WITH OUR WITHOUT THE POT.
I'm of the stance that hemp is the holiest of all holy flowers, a true god's gift, and has been banned, demonized, and mocked for the purpose of satanic control.
delta 8 has a maximum .3% THC (to be legal, im sure theres plenty of batches that exceed this limit), if you are getting stoned off that then your tolerance is very low!
.3% Delta 9 THC as required by law. Delta 8 IS a form of THC and is proven to be potent, but does not have a regulation on the amount. Thus there can be more than .3% Delta 8 THC in a product. I both smoke D8 infused buds and use the 96+% pure vape carts. That's 960+mg of Delta 8 per cart. Pay attention.
If heroin's byproduct threatened massive industries it would have been banned too. Not everything the gubment bans is secretly beneficent. That said there are healing and anti inflammatory properties that can't be discounted. But it can also turn people into couch potatoes.
Keep dividing us up into smaller groups. It's easier to dehumanize people that way. Keep doing the left's work for them.
If I can't be both a Trump guy AND a weed smoker, you can basically go fuck yourself. Keep looking for more ways to divide us rather than unite us, you commie piece of shit.
Cannabis has been far more effective than any pharma psychostimulant or antidepressant I’ve been prescribed. Also facilitated my awakening. CBD also enhances libido.
I smoke cannabis 5-10x day (single hit and done) to help with my stomach issues. Have chronic gastritis (not do to diet) and am either nauseous or have constant pain. I have a hit at 5am, and immediately hit the weights. I can lift heavier with cannabis than I can without, because my nausea flares up without it.
(I can take a prescription medicine for this and do have the rx, but would prefer an all-natural plant that I can grow myself.)
Another satisfied customer. Found out yesterday that cannabis in all forms hemp etc is a super great source of protein. It can be helpful for individuals who prefer not to eat red meat.
I know a ton of people including myself that use weed/edibles to focus or deal with pain. most of the time i will after going to the gym myself.
but pot heads -- yeah they need to lay off of the weed for their own sake. Pretty much every one I know that uses weed as a way of life are under the age of 30 (generally under 25)
Most people I know are responsible when it comes to their usage.
That being said I do think its far less harmful than other substances that are legal like cigarettes and alcohol. Tobacco, Alcohol and Big Pharma have campaigned against having federal legalization for a reason.
Well, we all have known pothead college students who just tank once they're smoking pot all day, but there is still no way around the medicinal properties of that plant. Including the fact that cannabinoids cause spontaneous neurogenesis (as does exercise!), a lifesaver for sufferers of most neuro-degenerative diseases like Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and Alzheimer's.
The fact that it gets people past nausea is also pretty amazing, and Rick Simpson oil seems to eliminate a lot of problems, including skin cancer.
Some absolutely, but I knew plenty that were just ordinary potheads. Wasting time stoned doesn't negate the miraculous usefulness of the plant. The very idea of outlawing a plant is just stupid anyways. God made it for a reason.
Moses didn't ACTUALLY see a burning bush. It was just God with the fattest J ever rolled in the history of EVER.
"Hey Moses, sit down and have a puff. I have some things we gotta talk about my dude"
Wasn’t it Trump who decriminalized it federally? Nothing really changes. They legalized it medicinally in KC awhile back and the dispensaries always look dead. It’s cheaper on the streets.
No Trump didn't do anything for cannabis, he just didn't. Kept it hands-off and let the states continue to make their own decisions about it. It needs to be removed from the list of schedule one substances, alongside heroin and MDMA, meaning it has a "high potential for abuse" and no medical uses in the eyes of the feds and DEA.
IMHO, the ability to live a well-balanced life that includes healthy activity, healthy diet, hard work and difficult intellectual challenges is in no way threatened by casual cannabis use. Intellectual challenges involving arts, crafts and science can actually benefit. Cannabis consumption often has a purpose.
Here we go again, again. We all preach freedom but don't you dare smoke the devils grass. Here is a thought, we don't ridicule alcoholics in the same manner we ridicule people who CHOOSE to smoke weed.
This only supports people who will switch to meth on the turn of a dime. I'd rather deal with a pothead than a methhead.
I've noticed this a lot. The attacks are different now. The posts instead are the same old non sense ... distracting from the community progressing ...
Please take notice. You will see some accounts matured. They lack the handshake. Are quick to call others shills .... and the most obvious... they entire post history is about .... nothing or .... nothing eleven closely related ....
Id rather smoke a plant that i can grow in my living room than that shit THEY wanna jam down our throats. I admit i smoke way too much but trust me, i can cut back and fuck shit up if i have too.
Yawn. Tired Nixon-era drug-war propaganda intended to look at cannabis in isolation, handily out of context with other substances.
Try working out after having a few beers or a bottle of wine. Drunks might try to fight, all right, but they're likely to do a lot of swinging and missing. Maybe fall on their face and gurgle in their own puke. Things that don't happen with the natural herb :) Fighting and puking...not cool. Lots of people choose cannabis over ethanhol for mood elevation, socializing, or relaxation, for these and other reasons.
THC and ethanol are both alcohol molecules, with different mechanisms of action. Only one is deadly. So the discussion boils down to a tedious argument over which specific type of alcohol molecule free adults should have access to.
The real reason for legalizing cannabis is free adults in a free society have a natural right to decide what does or doesn't go into their own body, especially when it's non-lethal. Government has no legitimate right to regulate mere vices. Also, businesses should be able to participate in a multi-billion-dollar industry; and patients have a human right to choose natural medicine over Big Pharma crap designed to keep them sick and hooked on their chemicals.
Your body has an endocannabinoid system inside. Where the fuck am I going to get the cannabinoids my body needs ?
Chocolate
Black pepper
Rosemary
Echinacea
Kava
Hops
Maca
Black Truffles all interact with the endocannabinoid receptors but not nearly as effective as real deal.
Self medicating with donuts after weed is what gives you man boobs.
This ^^^. It isn't the weed, it's the weed + GMO corn syrup flavored Doritos + SSRIs + sitting on your ass that gives one moobs.
I get 50mg indica capsules. They start working an hour or more after I go to sleep and I am sound asleep for a solid 6 hours.
Also, those capsules are red, kek.

Not true, moobs are a very rare side effect of smoking, but it does happen in about 2 days after the first puff.
Not that I trust NIH, but they clearly state there is no association between cannabis and gynomastia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/920892/
Anything I have read on the subject does not seem to factor other influential factors such as medications, diet, and chemical exposure.
Young men put on Risperidol for depression/psychosis and/or accutane for acne can develop gynomastia aka bitch tits.
I developed moobs after a few puffs of Afghan hashish, this was in the late 1960's. The NIH can go forth and multiply.
Must have been some good hash.
A Howard Marks speciality.
You are talking to someone who developed moobs after smoking hashish in 1969, and now some chewbosun is going to ask me to prove this.
Wife and I smoke everyday and we are fighting and redpilling vigorously. Weed should be 100 percent legal
I have gone to the gym stoned every day for the last year. Can’t blame weed for being a lazy ass. No reason it should be illegal.
there's nothing i enjoy more than getting stoned and riding my bike through the country.
took a vacation to the smokies and rode stoned through the mountain trails during leaf season... it was fantastic.
people who hate on weed have never smoked it.
This.
You don't. But people should be free to.
why would you need to know?
My private medical records are none of your concern. Now piss off.
Good, you're a teetotaler and a moral authority too. Bet you're a "hit" at parties.
In 40 years of experience with the plant I've yet to meet one of these elusive, mythical creatures. Maybe in my next 40! Even NIDA admits only about 10% of regular consumers become habituated, which is a far cry from physical addiction.

Hey I'm with you, we are called to be sober and sane and moral at all times. Weed gets in the way of this, despite what others might argue to defend their habits.
There are patriots who are alcoholics but that doesn't equate the two as virtuous.
In other words, you are red pilling despite your mellowed state. The exception proves the rule.
Ethanol is a poison diluted to be tolerable.
The human body produces its own cannabinoids, beneficial anti-inflammatory compounds.
The fact that people use both marijuana and alcohol for recreational purposes isn't relevant. They're completely different in nature.
Something few people know is that ethanol is produced in the intestines in small quantities due to fermentation.
Yeah, the same type of fermentation happening in our gut as at the brewers. But it's produced IN the body more than BY the body.
The ethanol produced is a waste product that is excreted. Endocannabinoids are actually used by the central nervous system and immune system.
True, I actually thought about my choice of words after I hit save.
Exactly, the body produces its own. The body also produces its own seratonin. So opioids are fine? What a ridiculous argument.
The relationship between opiods and seratonin and thc and other cannabinoids are quite obviously not the same. Your strawman is ridiculous. My argument is sound.
There are plenty of medical benefits from thc, cbd and other cannabinoids. And marijuana is not only natural, but you don't need to process it with solvents the way you need to process poppies to make heroin. You just let it dry. That's it.

Nailed it!
Do you even know why it was criminalized in the first place? Big Pharma.
Wrong. It was because hemp threatened the paper industry and the guy who owned many of the newspapers ran a smear campaign, the birth of "yellow journalism" or as we call it today, FAKE NEWS.
https://greathemp.net/why-hemp-was-banned-in-1937/
Both are correct
No, both are not correct. Big pharma had nothing to do with criminalizing it in the first place, in the 30s.
It did though, because Anslinger and Hurst both rejected in congress and in the press (respectively) doctors opinion to congress that it was safe for consumption. You could say it was also a birthing of "Big Pharma" in that doctors got whipped by money.
The current situation is a completely separate topic. "Criminalized in the first place" was what my comment pertained to.
You're all three correct.
That was part of the same smear campaign
that was part of the yellow journalism that hurst was printing in his papers.
he owned pretty much all the tree based paper production in the country, he was over invested, hemp paper production threatened his empire so he hired anslinger to lie to congress about it.
the same exact time anslinger was lying about "marijuana" the AMA was studying cannabis for it's medicinal uses.
I always heard it was made illegal because it was used more by blacks and Hispanics.
I just searched and there is evidence to support that.
I smoke a lot of weed (delta 8 thc federally legal) and work out with my home gym, ride bike daily, and work my ass off. You can't blame the pot for people being stupid - STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES and STUPID IS GONNA BE STUPID, WITH OUR WITHOUT THE POT.
I'm of the stance that hemp is the holiest of all holy flowers, a true god's gift, and has been banned, demonized, and mocked for the purpose of satanic control.
delta 8 thc, the kind thats federally legal, doesnt get you stoned. i agree with all your points though
i smoke both legal delta 8 and black market actual weed that gets you stoned stoned
Gets me plenty stoned, potency is about 2/3s that of d9 /shrug
Delta 8 is about 1/4 the price of street reefer around here and I can buy it in the smoke shop.
delta 8 has a maximum .3% THC (to be legal, im sure theres plenty of batches that exceed this limit), if you are getting stoned off that then your tolerance is very low!
.3% Delta 9 THC as required by law. Delta 8 IS a form of THC and is proven to be potent, but does not have a regulation on the amount. Thus there can be more than .3% Delta 8 THC in a product.

If heroin's byproduct threatened massive industries it would have been banned too. Not everything the gubment bans is secretly beneficent. That said there are healing and anti inflammatory properties that can't be discounted. But it can also turn people into couch potatoes.
Those people were already lazy asses. Also, Heroin's byproduct is mass addiction and overdose.

Propaganda with no basis in reality. What you posted is the equivalent of all Trump supporters are terrorists.

Smoke weed and hit the gym. Master your mind and body.
If you REALLY want to master your mind get some psilocybin. Another banned drug with incredible mental health benefits.
