So... Canniboids

This thread is going round and round and round. lmao.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and we could all tell bad stories about getting on the piss, smoking pot, popping pills, you name it, but in the end it's up to the individual. What happens to one person is not going to necessarily happen to another.

I have tried speed, plus X, plus uppers, and downers, just about everything except coke and heroin, but now I absolutely hate pills. I have to take enough as it is to keep some sort of normality to life.

I know THC levels vary, but it's 'from god' (or whatever you believe created this messed up lump of rock we live in) and you can look, smell, see how pure it is pretty much instantly and if you're doubtful know within minutes how good or bad the smoke is after lighting it. :)

Hey Jibby, unless you grow it yourself in your back yard, you don't know what your getting. I used to use additives all the time with my hydro set up, nothing real serious, but they were chemicals all the same used to make the shit grow faster and with a bigger yield.

Sometimes when I am awake in the middle of the night from pain, I wish I had a joint or two, but it would not be worth my marriage. And until they legalise it and a doctor gives me a script and I can buy a vaporiser I won't be using it.

Just an opinion.

This thread is going round and round and round. lmao................

A real Merry go round LOL.

Like Jimmy said, the choice is to each individual person as what they take and throw into their bodies.

And just to put a bit more spin on it.

Aside from Alex and Jibby and maybe one or 2 others who still actively use Recreational Drugs to get through the day.

How many of us manage without........................?

Some used to take, smoke whatever, some never have. But either way there are a lot more of us who Don`t take anything and manage a lot better, than the few who do and are still strugling.

Food for thought maybe..............?

Ok Alex Perhaps I stand corrected or perhaps not.

But I will say this. I've had PTSD since 1990 or a bit earlier. I don't know what it is like to be completely clean and operating on my own. I've always had cigarettes, pot, cocaine, heroin, LSD, Mushrooms, Crystal Meth, Crack, Rush or whatever came my way. I tried it.

In the past year and a half I've been cleaner than I have been in years. I go to my shrink and I go to group. Twice a week man. I still smoke cigarettes (Doc actually recommended I not quit right now) and only occasionally smoke weed. That's because I have nothing else, no meds. And you know what. I'd rather fight the beast one on one without any crutch because that is the only way you sort shit out.

And you have to think about it. When you were in how many missions did you go on stoned or f*cked up? What did you learn and achieve stoned or f*cked up? Would you go out with your best mates into battle stoned? f*ck no!

Now take now. What about your family? What about life's achievements? PTSD is a life sentence, but it is not a death sentence unless you let it be. And I can say this.....it don't help. Life is still going to f*ck up. Things are still going to happen. Wife's will leave, friends will tell you to f*ck off and as has happened to me twice, you can end up homeless (A nice symptom of the Beast, He loves the streets) And all that can happen feeling fine and stoned. Because you miss shit.And when life's little tests come along...there you are stoned. (Life tests us more than others by the way)

I challenge you fight the beast on your own. Toughen the f*ck up. Ok. You probably smoke to chill out...relax. How about this. Stop smoking and take Yoga classes. Try it for 2 weeks. Will it hurt? Maybe you'll discover something different.

Sorry if this seems a bit rough, but for f*cks sake there are allot of us on here that are fighting the Beast with nothing but a spork and a positive mental attitude....because thats the only only way to progress.

And this is coming from a squid. Christ we're supposed to be the Nancy's on here.

Peace

Well I don't use anything 'illegal', as Angle pointed out, some of us don't use the stuff. I smoked a little weed back in the day. It was cool. But over the last 20 years, the only thing I've used is alcohol. Since starting to deal with this PTSD beast head on over the past few months, I've even stopped that cause it never makes it better. It is a temporary fix to a permanent problem and it makes the family life not so good. Plus, the way I drink (professional binge drinker :eek:), I would have killed myself at some point just from blood poisoning. I didn't drink often, but I slammed em when I do(y). Don't take this wrong; I love to drink. But is just isn't smart, ya know?

I now take 100 mg a day of Zoloft and, about 45 mins before bed, one 3 mg Melatonin pill. That's it. And I've been more stable and relaxed in the past two months than in the past 5 years since leaving Iraq. Of course, seeing a therapist weekly is helping a lot...she is really quite good.

Anyway, just sayin. Everyone will have their own thing. No judegement here, just a different perspective. Am I living the easy life? No. But is the beast the tamest its ever been? Yes.

I had a girlfriend who took Zoloft....and drank on it. She bit me in the leg on one occasion while we were riding the bus home. Still have scar.

Oh Yeah forgot this article. The most scientific I've found other than the hippie sites.

MDMA is a lot like speed with it's effects on the human body. The problem around the world with any type of pill or powder is what they use to cut it with or make the pill with. I have seen reports where they have used crushed up fluorescent tube. That is why for me when I used to use speed, I got the pure crystal. It cost more though.

Either way, I hope the day will come when I won't have to use any medication whatsoever.

No worries brother. We all have our own beast to fight. At least here you can get a little leg up from someone.

Peace
