The Effects of Pot

[Thai]

I will disagree with this statement. I think marijuana is unique in that it doesn't take a chemists background nor highly specialized (ie expensive) equipment to extract and produce some very high quality stuff. If it is legalized, it will be the exact opposite. You will be able to buy pharmacy grade stuff at your local store. I mean, you can already do that here right now.

That I could see. It would be the only way to have an upper edge. But will those "combo" drugs be more sought after? I don't know.

How do you know that you're buying pharmacy grade stuff? Because seller said so?

There was an article recently (i will try to find it) about Omega-3 stuff that you buy OTC (over the counter). Various brands, even well-known OTC brands, all advertise high Omega-3 content, but actual content testing showed that most are false in amount.

Combo drugs are huge these days. Easy to take. Less pills to take. There are always people where MJ alone is not enough to treat their illness.

That only indicates longevity and legacy of foolishness apparently now that you mention it, blessed that I missed his last 16 years of it... LOL

You do realize that you're making a fool of yourself, right? Keep at it kid. You're helping making my point. :thumb3:

Boy this is turning into a pissing contest if I've ever seen one. I've been guilty of it with one of the individuals in this particular arguement and it basically lead to the same result: over powering the "counter arguement" with personal attacks and a bunch of "yeah, see. You're stupid nana nana boo boo". Comments filled with arrogance and elitist tones. Then when the individual gets called out they turn the table and say "Your opinion is wrong because it goes against mine".

Where are all the warnings for petroleum product exposure studies? Wouldn't that be a more relatable topic on this forum?

It's human nature to only focus on the items to back up your own arguement. At any rate, this record is broken. Can we change it already?

Comparing THC/CBC extracts to something like omega-3's is comparing apples to oranges.

I'd say comparing it to the wine industry is a far better one if you take away the cost/access to the "best" vines/grapes. Yes, there are large companies who mass produce wines, but since the process is pretty basic, the boutique wineries not only have a place, but control over the industry.

I see that with the future of the marijuana industry. It will eventually get federally legalized and yes, you will have the big guys attempt to move in. And they will be successful to a point. But there will always be a spot for the little guys given you have the ability to grow some pretty potent sh*t in your own home if you know what you are doing.

As well as you basically have sommelier's of weed. They can sniff out the good and bad quickly and there's definitely no shortage of them. Whereas something like Omega's would need laboratory testing.

The truth doesn't care what any of us say.

At least with legalization going on for a few years we have less idiots coming in to the ER from consuming over 300-600 mg of THC edibles in a single sitting.

 

[ndcent]

300+ mg!?

I ate about 75 once and had to call off work the next day, though a solid 30-40 can be a fun day.

Many California marijuana products (~20%) failing safety tests

One of the biggest reason for failure was massive amounts of pesticide, beyond even store bought fruit which already contains a lot.

Doesn't surprise me too much. Mites are such a big deal in growing. They can ruin an entire crop.

Here in Washington they have a list of approved pesticides and apparently the inspection process is pretty stringent.

Just another conspiracy by the medical community. Pesticides are “enhancers” of the MJ experience!

Its disturbing how often I hear stories of growers using Eagle 20 as a fungicide on their weed plants. Its quite effective and relatively harmless when used on flowers or even food, however when heated it converts into hydrogen cyanide.

Apparently a lot of growers didn't know this, and many still don't, but it was widely popular in the weed growing communities and message boards for a long time before word spread about its highly toxic properties.

It seems government and regulators have finally woken up to this, but if you're living somewhere weed is still illegal, or only recently legalized, its definitely something to watch out for.

well I think the effects are pretty well documented. There are certainly things you shouldn't do everyday. in my mind that includes drinking things like coke or any other dark sugary carbonated soda, alcohol and pot. If you smoke every couple of months with friends on a camping trip, or even around the fire pit in your own back yard, I doubt it will impact your ability to do your job or have a successful marriage. Ethically, well your ethics and morals are your own and I don't believe we should try and regulate that. I think legalization is just kind of a given. put all the drug dealers out of a job overnight defund the cartels as well as the terror organizations. tax it monitor it's creation and distribution, tax the companies that make it and sell it too, that's at least three new layers of taxes. use the taxes for education and rehabilitation. People are going to do some things regardless of legal status. if an adult wants to smoke pot that's their choice, America lost the war on Drugs years ago, it's time to accept that and realize taking it out of the shadows is the safest choice for our country.

Not being so up tight
Relaxing beyond any other means
Enjoying food more
Enjoying sex more
Exploring vast avenues of the subconscious
Partying
Being more tolerant
Being less abrasive
Never getting violent
Relieving chronic medical symptoms
Loving life more
Sleeping like a teenager

Jesus Christ. This off topic section must come with a complementary stick for anus insertion. How do you guys sit down? Or is the stick flexible? Also, do they come in those sterile tear apart film strip things like needles and dentist tools or do you have to sterilize them yourself before getting so up tight?

This is why I love that I have terrible gas and fart in public all the time: so I can gas out jack wagons who are too busy being offended little butterfly snowflakes to actually stop and have a good time. And I'm a millennial socialist from northern CA so you know that's a bad sign...

Insert defending by insulting here:

Is it me or was above just a bunch of drunken gibberish??? :crazy:

I really have no idea what you’re even talking about or referring to.

Honestly, you and JF Sebastian have literally shown why MJ can really f**k up the mind. You guys have become the prime examples of drugged up delusional rage.

Kids, this is why drugs are bad!

Perfect. Is it me or this just the same ol [MENTION=2]Thai[/MENTION] using insults instead of actually discussing points? Whenever anyone has a different viewpoint than you based on actual life experiences all you do is personally attack as a means of "winning" the arguement.

Kids this is why becoming an elitist closed minded know-it-all is so wonderful. you can hide behind a keyboard and never consider someone has a different path and had a positive influence on something you financially gain from. Your ivory towers are astounding. Get a hobby. You only come here to fight and talk smack because your life is so meaningless and unfulfilling. Typical sign of extreme narcissism and prejudice. You need help bro. Get wth the times and quit living in the 50's.

Millenial Norcal socialist vs the conservative healthcare professional. This forum has it all.

Just a few examples of @Thai's arguing tactics. Nothing but childish insults and name calling.

You mad bro?
I am a well paid nurse! Bring on the cash!

WTF?! Looney toons in town! You give MJ a bad name! [emoji3]
