I found this interesting little article about a 125 year old in India who says smoking pot everyday is her key to a long life. Pretty reassuring.

Cannabinoids are shown to have antibiotic, anticandidal, antidepressant, cytoprotective, antimalarial, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, antipyretic, antineoplastic, antiviral and antioxidant properties. These properties can be very benefitial to the human body, so I have no doubt this is why she lived so long.

Also she was smoking it, imagine how long she'd live if she was introduced to a vape!

i heard about her on tv. maybe the daily show, or colbert report... i can't remember.

cool to hear though. and she;s been smoking it too no less!

After reading the article, it sounds like it was also her lifestyle that prolonged her life. Cannabis was part of that lifestyle of course.

Actually, she died over 5 years ago:

So kids, that proves marijuana does kill after all.

I know its her lifestyle but it just proves weed doesn't necessarily have to be unhealthy, even smoked.

It doesn't prove anything. There are a lot of people who smoke and die decades before she does. Smoking is harmful, and there is no way around that one.

True. While there are some of us that have genetics that would cause smoke not to do us any harm, for most of, it's toxic and dangerous.

looks like they were both widowed for at least thirty-five years, my heart goes out to them. I hope the old gal got a second childhood (that's my euphemism for hot sex in old age).

lack of impulse control - my wife says i'm so crass to say such things


EDIT: I actually wonder if there's something about NOT living with a man that prolongs a woman's life, hahaha

Double-EDIT: Forgot what the OP was about...so, IMHO pot's a temporary substitute for dopamine reward system, makes sense it would allow for long periods of no sex...given the right amount of visual material.

EDIT x3: I was so pleased by being able to post a comment on Cafe Vale Tudo's website, to try to counter some of the mis-information people have posted there (must be LEA's but maybe just true believers in the dominant narratives). Cafe Vale Tudo was the dispensary whose owner exposed me to the idea of mixing different strains to achieve different combinations of cannibinoids. They're long since closed, sweet to see this thread was started from their blog.

Sooo off topic, but I just gotta reply and say that mixing different strains, for me, turns out to be more potent than either strain alone.

something about the post on Cafe Vale Tudo's site drew in lots of true believers who first felt drawn to the subject, a 120 year old woman who said her secret to long life was smoking cannabis joints. And then felt even more drawn to share with us their personal stories about how its' bad for you, and how it ruined theirs or close relative's lives, all closely following the talking points out of the government.

Smells so fishy I can't help but wonder.
