This is true I personally have never seen one of my friends that were blitzed all the time take his life. With that being said I guess u could say it may be different for others however when I did it all I wanted to do was sleep---eat--- and look at shit around me cause it was in slo-mo.

I can't see the UK getting on board with the legalisation of ganja.

If we did, well, I'd be able to grow it and not pay silly f*cking prices for it, when I want it. Green in abundance = eat it.

If MJ was only socially accepted it would be a different story altogether.

Let's see...It's much safer than most of the shit the doctors are pushing on us. The only downside to the smoking is the effects on the lungs. That's easily remedied.

Some of the biggest issues I think the lawmakers are facing are the fact that it is too easily grown. It doesn't take anything special. And thus can't be taxed. Hell alchohol is 1000 times more harmful that MJ.

Oh well, my ranting is over.

No kidding. Booze for me has always been the devil. Runs in the family though. Glad I haven't even been to the bar in a month or so. Just MJ man. Socially.. eh... I get paranoid around others. If I know them. 1 on 1 smoking is cool. But the shit is medicine for me. And these other people do it for social interaction. I'm like f*ck that I'ma conserve my shit. Take a rip when I need it and relax. Don't have to worry about getting weird looks for spacing out. Or feel vulnerable.

I know people who just take blunts to the face all day. Not my style. Conservation is key. if not I can get real grumpy on a bad day.

I never was a smoker of the herb. Did it a few times when ibwas young. A few years ago a friend had some stuff that scared me. Scared me on how fun it was!

If it wasnt for my job. And the possibility of testing. It would be my go to medicine.

One day my brothers and sisters. I will be free!

They, (The State) just OKd medical marijuana to be used for PTSD, but only in a pallative manner. It can only be recommended to people who are also undergoing "Conventional treatment"

Out of Curiosity, I called the Phoenix VA PTSD clinic and asked them what their position is on this issue. I was told that, if you use legal, medical marijuana, FOR ANY REASON, you could NOT receive PTSD treatment at any VA facility. The person I spoke to went on to say that they wouldn't "Waste resources" on MMJ users.

Proof that, When it comes to treating PTSD, The VA remains in the dark ages.

So, in Arizona, you can only use MMJ for PTSD if you are, concurrently, in a treatment program, BUT, you can't get into a program if you use MMJ, at least not at the VA.

Anybody know what a "Catch 22" is?

Due to the fed. government considering mj still illegal, no gov. organization is going to condone the use. Even if it does help with ptsd. I made a choice personally to use it for me, and my quality of life. I actually got through a rough spot yesterday. It may not sound like much, but i was able to walk through some crowded streets, go into a crowded store and get back home without freaking out. I wasnt fried out of my mind but it took enough of the edge off to allow me to function somewhat "normally". Anything that can do that without the side effect some of the va meds, is worth it to me and my family.

Serious question Atilla.
Did it make a difference you were going out to get something tasty to eat?
Like, the distraction of having a fixed purpose in mind?
