Weed

[Joey66]

In later life probably beneficial in moderation.
But over use from a young age ,no .

Medical goes to back your post - great for Parkinson's desease & other serious illnesses etc , but can have phytotoxic affects on the young - in future life etc

Should prob be decriminalised, but anyone heard bolloxing on about weed curing cancer

What aliments mate? Most people who preach it always say its basicslly healthy and side effect free

Its hard to separate the tobacco 1s really, which are most of the physical.

And also things that I might have got anyway.

Such as short and long term memory loss, trouble concentrating, anxiety.

But there are 2 different things at work here, im discussing my experience of smoking it for the last 30+ years, mixing it with tobacco and at times smoking more than I should.

You are talking about the health benefits with THC and CBD, which is something I have no knowledge on, personally.

I mean there is a long history of Alzheimer's and anxiety in my family, so is it my genes or is it the weed? Guess we will never know.

Never tried it. Laidback enough as it is.

Imagine how good food would taste without numbing our taste buds with tobacco?

I would be 40 stone.

Planning a diet mate?
Weed comes in many, many flavours I've been told. Plenty of variety for everyone.

Google cooking with weed for the added health benefits. Some amazing recipes to behold.

There's a ridiculous amount of systematic reviews on medical cannabinoids (for various conditions i.e. cancer pain, chrinic pain, mental health) and they all seem to point to some benefits, but loads of uncertainty too. Some of it due to the quality of studies and evidence.

If you can afford to smoke it without baccy then go ahead.

It affects people differently. I used to love the stuff (and probably over done it in late teens/early twenties) then all of a sudden it started giving me anxiety rather than ridding me of it. From then on I haven't really smoked it unless special occasions with mates in an afters or something.

Same for me

And them all being smashed off their tits after the first few days of 'research' and forgetting everything.

Tried it once, (with a Bristol City player and the father in law of Kelsey Gammer). Just gave me a massive headache.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Recently started smoking it again.

I left it years ago because I was smoking it for years from morning to night and realised I hadn't got anything done in half a decade.

Now I just have one spliff 1 or 2 nights a week and put on my headphones with some Floyd or something and have a lovely relaxed time.

Wish I had learned to use it like this back in the day really, feels much better but moderation has always been something I've struggled with in all areas of life. Except alcohol actually. I drink regularly but hate being drunk so as soon as I'm nicely tipsy I cut myself off.

The researchers? Tbf systematic reviewing is very tedious, so I wouldn't blame them.

too strong these days. I have a couple of puffs then I’m out my mind for 3-4 hours.
