I don't indulge, but smoke 'em if you got 'em.

We used call it "getting stupid" in college, as in, "Let's get stupid and go for pizza."

I stopped when my vocabulary deserted me - a huge problem for me as much as I love words.

We know a lot about the effects of alcohol. We know how to measure it in the body and how the ability to drive an automobile is impaired as the blood alcohol level increases. Thus we can regulate drinking and driving for the general betterment of society.

In that vein, there is much about the effects of marijuana that we don't know (at least precisely enough to regulate usage) so studies like this are actually necessary and useful, even if they do little more than state what is obvious from anecdotal experience.

With THC being psychoactive, there really can't be any set formula like there can be for alcohol. (Like body weight/number of drinks/food intake, etc basically effects almost everyone in a similar fashion) I know people who absolutely should NOT ever mess w/ THC. And I also know people who can barely function without it. It effects everyone very differently. I know people that can't get off the couch and are a brainless sack of **** when they're high. And I know people that successfully run businesses and won't leave the house until they are. I've known Dr's, lawyers, and even ex cops who partake, and for them, it's purely medicinal. They are actually motivated, get stuff done, focused, and clearheaded. Without it, they are frantic, hyper, and easily side tracked. It's known to do wonders in many folks w/ PTSD.

Again, not condoning. Not recommending. But I do strongly encourage the continued studies of it's many positive medicinal values. Especially for chemo patients and the like.

[Guildedagain]

How much did this study cost? Lol ;]]]

 

[Guildedagain]

What they have discovered is that some people can really smoke a lot and some people can barely smoke at all and the reason for that is that they don't smoke a lot so they can't handle it, duh...

Freak Bros. would leave Fat Freddie's Cat all alone at home with no food so he would chow down all their pot plants.

And do terrible things to Freddy's shoes!

One time when Fat Freddy was in the shower, the cat was peeing in his beer. "You pee in my drink, I'll pee in yours!"

The "study" is an analysis of meta-analyses?
