I'm 62 years old, and have been using Cannabis since I was 18, I used to drink every single day when I worked in Casinos in Amsterdam from 1983 until 2001.Last couple Years I hardly drink at all now, but I use Weed Everyday, that's what keeps me fucking sane.. I'm Not an Addict 🤣😎Its just something 'Normal' to me...You would Not know whether I was stoned or not if you met me... Point is .... With my Age and being a frontline worker during Covid, I Only wore my mask If I was forced to at the shops... I dealt with +- 50 Customers face to face everyday, some shook hands and some didn't.. Never Got Ill ONCE !!, At All.... So with my age plus my habits during Covid plus the fact I Use Cannabis Everyday, I should Be DEAD really.... Why Not, I'm Nothing special...Its Just I Have a GOD given Immune system that has never let me down in my life... So that's why IMO this is BS....
Edit : Don't know why I didn't say this earlier but I think I'm in the health I am Partly due to smoking weed my entire adult life...
The study is tainted with tobacco/cannabis data. Secondly the ENTIRE health/med industry participated in premeditated MURDER. So now I'm supposed to trust anything they do or say? Jessica Church (author) needs to smoke some weed.

Cannibas seems to have an anti parasite effect on the body.
Also coca leaf (cocaine) has antifungal and anti parasite effect. Seems like many of the so called plants that get us high have an anti parasitic or antifungal benefit.
Cannabis reduces inflammation which causes pain by killing the worms that cause inflammation.

You are an addict. My dad is the same way, smoked weed since he was young, acts perfectly normal on it. But, you take him away from it for a week and he shows his addiction.
Though extremely biased off one single reference point, marijuana is no more addicting than sugar is. It's just the facts, I'm sorry if you aren't okay with it. I've smoked heavily, stopped, then lightly and the only difference is maybe a week of irritability, which is even better than cigarettes, that causes long term constipation, agitation and restlessness for at least a month. Maybe your dad has major depression or anxiety, and it's not being legitimized.
I wouldn't compare the addictive-ness of weed and sugar. Sugar is INSANELY addictive. Weed is mildly addictive if anything. May be different for different people, but I'd personally argue Sugar is more addictive/harder to quit than hard stimulants like Meth.
Again, from my experience, not really. I actually can't eat much sugar at all because it makes me sick. It does to most people who don't consume a lot of it. Same with weed, I can't really smoke a lot anymore cause it makes me sick, plus it's wasteful and pointless. Just like sugar.
Being clear here, I'm referring to artificial sugars and sweeteners. And meth, opiates and sometimes alcohol are almost impossible without a lot of dedication and strength since they alter you in many ways, sometimes permanently, not so as much as sugar. I see you are agreeing with me mostly, just wanted to offer what I've seen since I've been around it a lot.
With all that being said though, most importantly, with govt getting involved in weed production, it's highly probable that they can manipulate strains and everything and anything could happen to you, so be careful where you get your bud and ask questions.
I don't do sugar. Largely a keto diet these days with a handful of supplements to ease the ills that flesh is heir to. But I love stimulants because they work. Makes the brain buzz for a bit. I limit myself to coffee and nicotine otherwise I would spend the rent.
Sugar is highly addictive.
Not really. You can cut out sugars basically instantly if not in extreme cases gradually if you want to, unless you suffer from a medical condition. Anything else smug to say?
We don't know that, Internet Doctor. I suspect that's true, but you don't know until you quit cold turkey and start feeling terrible cravings and maybe some withdrawal symptoms. That's the indication of physiological dependence. A lot of people have the psychological dependence too. It's "force of habit." It "helps me relax after work." It 'helps me focus at work or be more creative." Whatever, but we don't know til you cut it off and this person has told us nothing to indicate one way or the other.
10% of marijuana users do develop addiction, and I guarantee you 99% of those addicts deny it, just like alcoholics or other drug addicted people. Its the nature of the disease. People don't want to admit to themselves that they're no longer in control of their bodies and minds. The substance has control. This is why treatment programs are so insistent on making addicts understand it and say it. I think with weed, too, the side effects that come with THC addiction are so mild, it's just not seen as harmful, like how we approach caffeine addiction, and that's why people are so resistant to acknowledging it.
I was addicted to weed, it controlled my life and I hated that, I prayed to the Lord to take it away from me and he did. I woke up the next morning not wanting a smoke at all and never have touched the stuff since.
Praise the Lord!
I smoke 1-2 times daily, got my ENGR degree just last month. Smoked through the whole program.
Not getting enough THC is nowhere even close to not getting enough caffiene. I'm sure unhappy when theres no weed when I want some, but not having any coffee available when I need it is a fucking disaster.
For me THC feels like a "continual want" But caffiene feels like a "NEED"
Reefer madness!
How did you "take him away from it"
I forced him to go to my wedding which was across the country. He drove, but got stopped by police twice, they made him get ride of it.
At gun point?
Yeah, me too. Sort of like being an addict to air, water and food. It keeps my IDGAF factor in the sweet spot. Dealing with humans is hard work for some of us. Both left and right.
Oh yes. I agree. Weed is just as important to humans as air, water and food. If you are ever lost in the woods, you can die, 3 minutes of no air, 3 hours of no weed, 3 days of no water, and 3 weeks of no food.
so at this point you likely use to feel normal.
'normal'...Mmmm When I'm at work I don't smoke so I'm not 'stoned' and feel 100% normal, and when I get home and get 'stoned' I too feel 'normal'... Basically its what I do....😉😎
been there, I understand. Lay off for a month and then try it to see if you get a good high. Just a thought.
Don't get me wrong, I still get stoned but nowadays it's not really about how high I can get, like in my younger days...It has more of a 'calming' think before you act effect....🙂😎 If you know what I mean...Crazy times...
At 72, my experience is somewhat similar. Started using it frequently around 15. Quit during military service 20-24; drank alcohol like a fish when my ship was in port. After completing service I studied hard at university staying mostly sober in all regards there except for Friday nights, which were party nights for blowing off steam (mostly alcohol but some cannabis got sprinkled in). Graduated Summa Cum Laude in mechanical engineering. Restarted briefly after graduation but stopped everything for 25 years after my first child was born.
I used daily as a pain killer for about about 6 years when my knees went bone-on-bone. A puff or two every few hours. I went through 4 major surgeries after waiting a year and a half while elective surgeries were shut down due to the Covid game (unfortunately one knee got infected which lead to two additional surgeries on that knee.) It's the best pain killer of all time. Currently, I sometime take a puff or two before bed but it's no big deal if I do or don't. But I've stopped all alcohol and most sugar.
Never jabbed, started taking Ivermectin horse paste monthly (or more) Dec 2020. Haven't had so much a cold since then. Now my knees have been replaced I'm one of the healthiest people my age. Cannabis has been good medicine, and not been addictive for me.
👌👌But according to some we should be Long dead....
If what "they" said were to be believed I should be dead about 17 times in my 64 years since conception. If the next realm wanted me it had ample chances in my drinking years. Chemicals for a short stint in the middle of life. If I had to do it all over again... I'd still smoke weed and would have argued with MY parents that they would be better served to partake with me rather than drinking into their 50's and Mom becoming a "guinea pig" for pain management for arthritis. That lead into other issues with her body as each system began failing due to the poisons "they" push. Mom had a really great green thumb and I suspect if allowed to do so she would have produced a "high" quality product that would have let her live her life without killing off her body.
