ok riddle me this.....Are You Cannabis Deficient?

[Therellas]

"If the idea of having a marijuana deficiency sounds laughable to you, a growing body of science points at exactly such a possibility.

… also play a role in proper appetite, feelings of pleasure and well-being, and memory. Interestingly, cannabis also affects these same functions. Cannabis has been used successfully to treat migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and glaucoma. So here is the seventy-four thousand dollar question. Does cannabis simply relieve these diseases to varying degrees, or is cannabis actually a medical replacement in cases of deficient ?"


"the therapeutically active components in marijuana — the cannabinoids — appear to be remarkably non-toxic to healthy cells and organs. Further, they mimic compounds our bodies naturally produce — so-called endocannabinoids — that are pivotal for maintaining proper health and homeostasis.

In fact, in recent years scientists have discovered that the production of endocannabinoids (and their interaction with the cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body) play a key role in the regulation of proper appetite, anxiety control, blood pressure, bone mass, reproduction, and motor coordination, among other biological functions."

4. Interesting. It might be that republicans are Cannabis Deficient leading

to their hostile, bellicose and belligerent personalties, and deficient memories for Bush years.

[patrice]

5. Don't know, but I downed about half a case of Coors last night, just to be safe.

. . . and then drove home.

:sarcasm:

9. Republicans have friends?

[piratefish08]

10. they REALLY do need to just fucking relax a little.......

[Wizard777]

11. No I'm not. I've been supplementing my endocannabinoids with marijuana for well over half a century.

At 78 my medicine cabinet is pretty empty. I'm not a walking pill bottle like other seniors. That's the real reason why it's illegal. I don't need pills for blood pressure, pills for cholesterol, pills for arthritis, or pills to get it up. I just don't don't need them. I have marijuana, low to no stress and good health.

[CanSocDem]

15. Same 'scrip. Same story.

The worlds best kept secret.

:hi: :hi: :hi:

25. It used to be. But now I think that's coca leaf. It's good for longevity.

You can't go crazy on it like your living in a 70's disco. But a lil here and there is actually good for you. They even put it in Red Bull energy drinks. That's what makes it taste like cough syrup. I use it every now and then for vitality. I even use a lil cocaine to keep my lungs cleared out. It's a two pronged approach to lung cleaning. I smoke a lil coke to clean from the outside in and then follow that up the next with drinking alcohol, usually a good brandy or Good old No.7 Jack Daniels, to clean from the outside in. The cocaine breaks up the tar. That's the black and brown stuff you'll be coughing up. Then the next day the alcohol cleans other misc. Stuff from the outside in. Alcohol comes out of your system through your lungs. But both need to be done in moderation or you'll do more harm than good. But when you breathing gets labored. That lil combination will clear out your lungs and get you breathing easier again. Also follow both with a good hot steamy shower to help bring up all the nasty stuff.

24. I'm twenty years behind you Wiz

and on the same path. I have emphysema and two fractured vertebrae and live a calm and happy life largely free from pain and distress. We would all be better off to just burn and chill.

Woof

[blondeatlast]

12. I guess so. I don't care if others want to partake, I just have no interest whatsoever.

Never have, never will, despite some very persistent insistence from "friends."

[Berry Cool]

27. Same here.

I don't care what other people do, but personally I have no use for the stuff. No matter what "science" anyone presents to imply the opposite.

[randr]

13. Having evolved wearing hemp clothing our skin has a need for cannabinol (sic)

Lack of this essential oil on the skin has driven speculation of a connection to the rise of skin cancers.
I wish I could remember where I found that info but it was through a reliable source and can be searched out I am sure.

[Therellas]

28. never heard that.

cool.

[guitar man]

14. Yes

"The Guy" is out of town and doesn't get back until tomorrow...I'm down to seeds and stems :(

[PJPhreak]

16. Am I Cannabis Deficient?

Oh Hell Yes!! The "Stoners" in my part of the world think that if it is "Weed" then smoke it.

No one has ever told them...

Not all Cannabis is shoved into a Sears Compactor.

Its not supposed to be Brown and Flat.

Seeds are something to plant,not to make up half or more of the purchased weight.

There is no such thing as a "Metric" Quarter...thats called a "Shorter"

Green? Wadda you mean Weed is supposed to be Green?

[ensho]

17. yes, my stash box is empty - pout

nt

[tekisui]

18. No, rarely ever.

:smoke:

[gratuitous]

19. During college in the 70s

I think I ingested my lifetime supply, so I'm good.

[snooper2]

20. nope...get my daily intake for about 15 years straight now..

:smoke:

[RKP5637]

21. Like "Up Tight America" does so damn well. America needs to chill out and relax IMO. We all

end up in the same place anyway. Live and let live... And this ain't the best F'en place in the world.

[Romulox]

22. I'm all set for that, AND glaucoma.

So I got that going for me.

[leeroysphitz]

23. Yeah I haven't been nearly paranoid enough lately and if I don't find a way to increase my

pizza roll intake I'm never gone gain any weight.

[aikoaiko]

26. Ever since I got a real job, no more weed.

Its just not worth it -- but I support all my brothers and sisters who invoke their right to be civilly disobedient and smoke a joint every once in a while.

[JoeyT]

29. If I weren't

I wouldn't be posting on the internet at 4 in the morning in the middle of the week.
One of the reasons I never liked weed for partying was because it just knocks me out. A couple hits before bed and it's better than any sleeping pill.
