Legal Weed

Stay away from the opiates. Seeing all the damage they have done these last many years I have no desire to use them even if prescribed. I have consciously avoided prescription drugs in general because I don't want to get into the vicious cycle of meds where you need several other pills to counteract the side effects of the previous ones. Maybe it's good genes or luck but I'll be 58 in a month and I take no regular medication other than self prescribed natural substances.

Barry, have you looked into CBD oil for your pain problems? It is legal in all states now. We recently got some to experiment with. It gives you many of the medicinal benefits of MJ without the THC high. My lower back pain flared up a few weeks ago while out surfing and it was bugging me a lot for a week. Shortly after I started with the CBD oil it went away. Might just be coincidence, who knows. Regardless, I find the CBD has a relaxing effect without being stoned which I really don't enjoy as much as I used to.

CBD is still mostly unregulated so you need to be selective as the quality varies a lot. Make sure you get CBD derived from hemp strains of cannabis for best results.

 

Yep, had a vasectomy last year, and doc gave me hydrocodon, like 20 of them. Way over the top when all I needed was some tylenol at best. Finally took one when I had an inflamed hemorrhoid a year later, now that my friend was some pain.

 

Holy shat, this explains everything! Wow. Mind as well get your vagina while you were at it.

 

Man where do I start with this lol

 

Sigmund, you probably would have been better off just saying you had a "procedure" and then some "lower back" pain a year later.

 

Lol, I used to grow weed using that system. Didn't like it tho, so I went back to soil.

 

Punctuation matters. In the last sentence, your friend was a pain in your ass.
Placing a comma after that and after friend would clarify that you are talking to your friend; not taking it up the ass...

Yep. I wake up every morning at 6, drink a big glass of water, and take a CBD gummy. That's it for me. No pain killers. Ever. I may sound crazy on here at times, but my vices are mostly done in moderation. I don't drink or smoke during the week for the most part. My big issue is the goddamn Grizzly Wintergreen long cut. I've tried to quit at least a half dozen times in the past 20 years. I made it as far as 18 months once. Haven't been able to shake it yet. Sam's pizza in Wildwood is another tough habit to break.

 

I picked up a freebie gift last time I spent $100 at the shop.
They were pouches filled with cbd. You dont have to spit it out though, you can ingest without getting sick like normal dip.

I was pretty drunk when I threw it in, so not sure on what it did..

I wish i could go 21 days. Cigarettes are the hardest thing to give up

 

Yeah I can't quit cigs either. Never smoked more than a half pack a day unless I was partying hard lol. Now, anything more than 2 a day just harshes me out. So I keep it around 1-2 a day to satisfy the craving.

 

You can do it man, it’s all mind control. I used dip to get me past the 21 days of not SMOKING. When the dip was gone I didn’t buy more, it wasn’t my thing, cigarettes were. I used it like a Nicorette gum. Pop a dip when the craving really got bad and it would curb the desire for a bit. Unorthodox, but it worked.

 

The 1st step to quitting is never saying you that you can’t quit again and start saying you can. Don’t allow the word “can’t” to come from your mouth and then it will get easier.

 

words of wisdom right there

I started smoking pot before my older brother,who later in life turned into a junkie,and I seen it from start to finish.FRIENDS...................

hanging with the wrong crowds.he went from smoking a joint a day to drinking a 30 pack,to drinking and doing some lines of coke,to smoking crack,to sniffing pills,to sniffing dope,and finally to shooting dope,in that order.

again iv been smoking longer,hung out with the same friends,iv been offered herion so many times in my life its crazy and yet never ever wanted to try it.i know what it does to people and where it leads u,some people are just weak,always blaming their weakness on some shit.lifes not easy,man up and deal with it

 

I wish I could quit smoking ciggs,i feel like my job doesn't allow me.

worst part is I never smoked tobacco,always pot,i didn't start smoking ciggs til I was like 24,and growing up I used to always warn people that would tell someone to cut them on a cig,like ur going to get addicted.

I always did labor intensive work,working in the field,working in the shop and guys would smoke during down time and id bum one from them and slowly but surely I got hooked.now I feel like I cant do my job if I didn't have smokes id lose my mind.its sad

 

I used to smoke cigs heavily. 1-2 packs a day. I would chain smoke like a mother effer. Quit. I used the Ecigs. I'm not talking the big expensive crap all these hipster kids are doing that blow huge clouds of smoke. I'm talking the small little logic type pens you get from a gas station. It worked. I found that alot of the habit was physical. Taking a drag out of somthing. Now i can't even stand the smell of cigs. I traded one habit for another. But it got me off cigs. Then i still had to break the ecig habit but that was much easier

 

Is them thar gummies good i mean kin they git me hi ...

 

Thanks Man, I'll check it out

 

24? Damn! That's one of the oldest I've ever heard of someone starting to smoke cigarettes. I have an old friend who started smoking cigarettes at 22, now that I think about it. I often times forget that he smoked, since he's kind of private about it and he quit several times, even for 2-3 years at a time and kept going back to it. I think he finally quit for good about 10 years ago, right before or around the time he turned 40. He's actually the singer in a fairly popular (but underground) band, but I don't want to out him. He was always low key about his cigarette habit. You had to actually be a friend of his to know he smoked. He wasn't the kind of guy that would be photographed in a promo shot smoking, like many musicians. Bono from U2 is supposedly kind of like that. He smokes(d), but is/was very private about it.

I read John Bongiovi started smoking at like 32, while on the set of some movie. His character in the movie was supposed to smoke, so I guess he liked it and started doing it. I remember him saying he quit because his health insurance premiums were too high. I remember watching a VH1 behind the music on Bon Jovi, with footage from their peak in the late 80's. There wasn't a clip of him smoking cigarettes in that, while there were of a couple other members of the band. So I was surprised to find out later that he smoked, it was because he hadn't started yet by the late 80's.

 

Did you find after quitting cigarettes that the weed made you want one again, just due to the process of smoking something? I knew a guy who had quit smoking cigarettes, then quit smoking weed. So a year later he started smoking weed, then he eventually got back into cigarettes again. He said just smoking something made him want a cigarette again, even though it's made from different plants/substances, etc. He said just the act of smoking something did this. I remember he finally quit cigarettes again, but liked to get high. Pretty soon he had to quit smoking weed (at least frequently) to keep from falling off the wagon with cigarettes again. So he just started eating shrooms to get high instead, as a smoke free alternative haha. I'm surprised a lot of you guys smoke/smoked cigarettes. I bet your endurance levels go up by a ton when you quit.
