Also to your edit on the last reply, this is not a topic of pro choice. This is an entirely different discussion, where all opinions are valid. We’re not talking about pro choice here. I’m also not American so “pro choice” or “pro life” is not even a discussion where I’m from. Don’t get it twisted. However, this whole conversation with you is starting to feel very unproductive and tiresome. So, good night. Peace, have a great life my friend.

Yes. You can read the sentence “name one positive thing about weed” as confrontational or as a start of a discussion. You can enter the discussion hostile or factual. All up to you. People didn’t take it very well (see the downvotes). And I can see why, people think it’s “name one good thing because weed fucking sucks man”. However, it wasn’t. It was meant as “name one thing” simple. And then I have a cautionary tale, wich is not something that wants to be discussed. It’s usually “no it’s all good because it’s better than alcohol and opioids and it helps me”. Wich are all valid point, but not the only point. To really help people and be preventative, we need to look at all the experiences. I have more than ten years of it. It counts. My story is not the only story, but I share it with many. It should not be overlooked.

Ok, with the names and everything ^^, I don’t know enough about those medicines and I won’t even pretend to. From what I gathered nothing is as good as weed. Wich is good, that you found something that works. Medical marijuana can be a real life saver, as you already know. This is, to me, the interesting part of it. The rest is fine too, but the real heart of it is how it can help with some very particular illnesses. And not being able to have an actual discussion about lived experiences because of stigma and feelings, is getting in the way of the real discussion. I Wish you nothing but the best.

Bot drug use, but it’s a slippery slope for far too many. Not all, but many. There’s a stigma and a hardcore belief that you cannot get addicted, no way no how. The negatives are something to be aware of. To be able to make an informed decision. Based on my wording there shouldn’t be anything indicating that all use is abuse, but I’ll have to backtrack to make sure.

And I’m also not “most people” with “most people talking points”. Again, two individuals having a conversation. But ok. Be that way.

I’m talking to you as an individual with your own opinions. So, I was asking for your opinion. Others have shared theirs.

You’re mean, it seems unnecessary and childish. Is it THAT difficult to have an conversation about potential negatives with weed?

It’s not my point. People have been using different form of narcotics for ever. The real question is why though. In this day and age where mental health is important. Why don’t we try and go to the root of the problem, if there is a problem that is. So many self medicate and use this point, that it’s the best alternative: as a shield. Completely ignoring any negative impact it might have. However no opinion is invalid. Perhaps you don’t agree with me. But that’s fine for me, I’m not here to argue like that.

For you? Or in general?

Any strain for any pain?

This is what I suspected. I understand that point of view. I don’t wish to meddle in your mental health. Hope you find serenity one day my friend.

That’s great! Sending you best wishes.

This is kind of my gripe with it,saying that it’s healthier- doesn’t really mean much. It kinda just makes alcohol look worse. Not weed look better, imo. But thanks for the input and the articles.

Hm. Ok. I was a heavy to moderate user for ten years. I will have to go against this list. I have quit many times. And each time I have had physical withdrawal symptoms. Such as sweating a lot, having nightmares for months after quitting. Reduced appetite the first month. Irritability and so on. So I simply do not agree. Kidney health i do not know about. My kidneys are fine, I think, and I haven’t seen any studies done on this. One could argue that it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Because not many things causes liver issues- other than drugs and alcohol that is. I haven’t had cancer, but I’ve had menstrual cramps. And I can’t vouch for it helping with cramps. But hey, I’m not everyone. I do have diabetes tho, so I can speak for that. Weed is horrible for diabetics, since smoking reduces your sensitivity to insulin. It also makes you uncontrollably hungry, impulsive and forgetful. So it’s an awful combo. Imagine you just had the worst munchies, but you forgot to take your medicine before you ate and now your body is struggling with a high blood sugar. Not the best of times. The only two other things on your list i can speak for is anxiety and depression, there are studies that show that it can worsen those. Of course, it all depends on how you take it. In a controlled environment and with purpose, or just willy nilly. How often and so on. But I would of course not give weed to someone feeling bad without seeing what the root of the problem is, seeing as narcotics most likely will worsen the situation. So I respectfully disagree. But I understand you point of view, especially since I used to think the exact same thing in my twenties.

That’s great. Does it keep you from dreaming altogether, or is it strictly about not having the war dreams?

That’s great! Too bad you can’t use it. Are there no other medicines that offer the same solutions?

I said name one positive thing about weed, not that other things are bad. So, go on, you still haven’t named one positive thing.

Name one positive thing about weed?

Lime, laugh, Luigi… Beautiful 😙👌

This is not what the article is about.

But to reply to your statement; russian people have come up with many good things. Litterature, poetry, music, science… The list goes on. Russia is not excluded from inventing och being creative. Russian things and people are not exclusively bad because they’re russian.

Very

I haven’t seen anybody acting terrified. Psychological operations have been a thing since forever, from every country ever. It’s not new. What is new however, is the technology. How it can seep in to your day without you even knowing, if you are not prepared to tackle the information that is. However, ones want to seek the truth can also be manipulated. This is new. Making dumb people feel smart and relying on false facts. So, stay informed and relaxed. Never act out of fear or stress.

also, what does based mean on this context? That it is basic? Too simple for you? … ok 🤷 idk what you want me to do about this Information.
