Well, first of all, please don't take this as disrespectful, but allow me to ROFL about the "someone with some credentials". My own search for those has been heartbreakingly disappointing. Let me know if you find even a handful world-wide, if you mean someone with say an MD, oncology experience...

Watched a family member, who's on chemo w/ rather large doses of oral cannabis, try inverting the 8:1 THC:CBD ratio he's been using. The result was always stunningly terrible. Profound depression within hours, suicidal thoughts, no desire for anything, wooden expression and movements, and loss...

I'm going to say something unpopular. CBD is garbage. It's a commercially motivated fad. Lots of people making money, and justifying it by saying it doesn't make people "high". At low doses CBD has some calming effects that may benefit some people. But it's very instructive watching how large...

There are people using all kinds of remedies for relief of miserable symptoms. And the line between physical and psychological is now understood to be thin or nonexistent. Some of these substances cause more drastic imbalance when discontinued, like opiods or benzos, some less, like cannabis...

What exactly are medical reasons ? And who said "high" was the purpose?

QUESTIONS: I loved my FF1 but the battery stopped holding a charge within a couple of months. I got 2 more at a local dispensary. Those didn't even last that long. So I've been limited in my enjoyment of this beautiful device to looking at it, and handling it now and then. Question 1 is, where...

Hi, Ryan, what can I say, I feel with you, you are getting the short end of the shovel, like so many many people. But let me ask why specifically Oxycodone. This is one of many related compounds, some of which are less maligned in the press, so a doc might be more willing to prescribe them. It...

They call those "first world problems" I think. But isn't Hemp pollen Kief? Claybar THAT off the car, bro! I stay awake at night thinking of all those sexually frustrated female plants, all gooey an' all. Now there's a first world #metoo problem.

I'm on a 3 week cannabreak so far and my eyes are red and doped-looking. Not to discourage your break, @Grifo, but it's pollen time, allergy season. These damned trees are having sex in the yard and coming all over my freshly washed car. You might try some eye drops, some Flonase (steroid)...

No, just spreading all my addictions too thin.

This probably varies wildly between individuals, but I believe that the fast rate at which tolerance or adaptation develops with cannabis is a practical problem for microdosing. On the other hand many subtle effects last much longer than generally accepted, like 2+ days. A very good video...

BTW, I just saw that World Health Organization has stopped using the term "addiction" altogether, and have replaced it in their official classifications with the word "dependence". I think there are many different types of magic. For one thing, different strains do very different things. And...

Orthostatic hypotension is pretty common. You stand up, or just change position, and your blood vessels don't have time to contract and keep the blood pressure high enough for the brain to get it, heart rate goes up trying to compensate. Cannabis makes it happen more easily. Result: blackout...

My son who has cancer went through a bit of a rough spell while we built up his tolerance. But Rick Simpson has at least one thing right: go with Indica strains. He slept a lot. CBD only mitigated it a little. Later he could handle the Sativas. Now on those same large doses, like 800mg THC/day...

I wanted to show some cartoons to my grandson, who's 2, but I was surprised at how we take the violence for granted. I mean, Road Runner is funny to older minds, but looking at it honestly, ALL our traditional cartoons are about competing and hurting the other. It's a very Old America thing...

One thought. Edibles have the added issue of long slow onset. With inhalation at the time you realize it's too much, the levels are already starting to drop. CBD can be effective in reversing THC activity at CB1 receptors. With edibles usually at the time you notice the problem, you're just...

This plant has the widest range of possible effects on different people. Can be not so funny.

Anybody mention CBD? I carry several ABX (strain-specific) carts - they make a nice little case with slim adjustable battery too. I have low tolerance and the Sour Diesel that works best for my lumbar pain and sciatica is tricky. A half toke too much and it can start skirting the anxiety waves...

I think it was Dr William Halsted you had in mind. He co-founded Johns Hopkins Hospital and was sort of the Sherlock Holmes of medicine. Hopkins was the money man.

I want to be repaired. If not permanently, then at least continuously. Not jerked around. Not confused or distracted. None of this 0-60 engine-revving. No slamma da brakes. Solid cruising. Uncle Bobby was an episodic drunk, exuberant, fun but choppy in affect. Uncle Rama was a chronic, applying...
