Thread: Cannabis

Thanks for breaking down a typical (Moronic) War on Drug-speak fallacious argument against that evil weed, cannabis, Dieseld. Cannabis is no more equivalent to heroin than aspirin is to Oxycontin. Almost any idiot can see through the deceptive comparison.

People lean into idiocy with their binary way of life / thinking: it's either Good or it's Bad. What happened to the spectrum of "everything in moderation" with these people?

While arguing on the internet is futile, tamping down BS "facts" is not.

Thanks Dave!

Don’t be too hard on him. There’s been years and years of brainwash telling us how bad Cannabis is. Some people are not informed on some of the great things Cannabis can do, and what new positive discoveries have been made about the plant. Some people have chosen to do their own research about it all, and some choose not to, and continue to preach what they think is true.

I hear ya, HARRYWALLY. Just chaps my hide after enduring over 30 yrs of that ever consistent horse hockey!

True fact. A CBD roll-on applicator kept me working through some serious nerve damage in both hands for the last 2 months.

Within 10 minutes of application, tissue swelling decreased dramatically allowing me to continue working through an injury that would have taken most people out of work for 2 to 4 weeks. Relief lasts about 12 hours so only needed to apply 2x daily. There's simply no other anti-inflammatory that works better. Eventually, I had to cut down on work time during the week since medicine only goes so far.

But, yeah, God plant indeed. It's miraculous brother!

My Dad is taking CBD oil daily, and is loving it. He has terrible respiratory issues. In the heart of the summer when the humidity is so bad here, he basically has to stay indoors. I thought for sure a few years back I might have to hit him with his epipen his breathing was so bad. He’s also had so many sinus surgeries he can no longer smell.

Well, CBD has changed all that. He’s picking up on scents again, and he’s cut his prednisone use in half, and takes his inhaler only twice a day instead of all day long. Makes me so happy he doesn’t have to worry about his breathing AT ALL anymore.

Now that cannabis is legal in Canada, some pretty amazing things are now available, and research is no longer suppressed which means that there will be leaps and bounds in the near future.

I was no stranger to weed in my younger partying days, but hadn't been interested for the last couple of decades. For the past several years I've been dealing with stress-related inflammatory issues, and more recently I've also had to deal with anxiety issues. So I decided to look into what the Société du Cannabis du Québec (SCDQ) had to offer. I found a hybrid strain that was high in CBD (the medicinal part) but very low in THC (the part that gets you high). The result is a very pleasant strain that relaxes me, helps with my inflammation, and helps me sleep - but doesn't get me high (which means I don't get paranoid, I don't get the munchies, I don't get a foggy head the next day, etc.). In short, my quality of life has perceptibly improved since discovering this strain of cannabis.

This was available to me legally, for a very reasonable price, and it was delivered right to my mailbox within 4 days of ordering.

I'd say that's progress.

What vape are you using?

Wish I had the article link handy where I nabbed this fact, but the body has 2 receptors for THC.

And 64 (or 65) receptors for CBD. Essentially, CBD affects every pathway in the body to a certain degree. So no wonder many are considering the impacts miraculous.

About time (pun avoided) serious research gets conducted on the plant without pharmaceutical companies hindering those efforts nearly as much.

That's the next step, and kind of intimidating because for anyone who thinks the wet shaving rabbit hole is bad, the cannabis rabbit hole is worse!! I would very much appreciate any recommendations, because the only drawback of this is the actual smoking. I enjoy the occasional cigar, for example, but I really don't like smoking on a regular basis, no matter the substance. A good quality vape is necessary.

IMO, these are the best 3.

Arizer Solo, or really anything by Arizer. I hear nothing but great things about Arizer. My sister has had a Solo for 5 years now and it’s never let her down. She micro doses all day everyday for her epilepsy. Arizer is made in Canada.

Storz and Bickel, mighty. Another that I read nothing but good things about. Made in Germany. It has dosing cartridges that you pre load. Great for using as a daily medicator.

My favourite, Dynavap. Has a bit of a learning curve but will save you a ton in Cannabis cost because it’s so efficient. Uses a butane torch to heat up but will get you full extraction of the bud. These are made in the USA.

I also know someone who makes custom stems for the Dynavap.
