Marijuana users are going to start injecting THC

[Ns1]

Who in their right mind would want a rx of synthetic heroine if they could just use some dirt cheap plant with almost zero side effects?

uh, people who want to get stoned off hardcore pain meds.

the feeling is not the same, at all.

 

[pyonir]

It's logical next step...i mean, all these people injecting nicotine is an obvious example. Oh wait...

rotfl injecting thc...

I always get paranoia too.

I never get to 'enjoy' MJ and relax. I end up getting fvcking paranoid and hoping to god it passes.

It's because you're too uptight. Listen to some music next time. Pink Floyd preferably.

That happened to me the first time I did acid, we got pulled over for speeding, I was in the back seat, eyes as black as eight-balls, cop knew I was high as hell, he just didn't know on what, kept shining his flashlight right at me, talk about a bad trip!..

Talk about normal people though. Normal person hurts their back, gets prescribed oxycotin, develops a HUGE addiction, hurts family and friends, ruins their life. Of course the corporations still get some fat-ass profit from the pills....

What if that normal person had the option to just smoke some damn pot? What are they gonna do? Take a nap?

Vaporizer.

I don't 'smoke' pot that often, but I recently hurt my neck and found myself dipping into my roommates stash at the end of the day. To say it helps is an understatement.

*Doctor suggested I try it (in Illinois, where its unlawful) if I had 'safe' access, as it was better than me eating Ibuprofen like candy or resorting to narcotics.

I found my throat being aggravated from smoking (i'm not an expert) and a few of the coughs freaked me out since I've had a bad inguinal hernia repair done. A coworker recommended i pick up a magic flight box, which is essentially a basic, handheld vaporizer.

i dont smoke very often, usually more than a little makes me sleepy and lazy, which i am ok with, but it kinda makes it worthless to do socially.

I can assure you the pain relief offered from grand daddy purple is not the same as the pain relief from mscontin.

Quite frankly, the potency of higher quality marijuana is such that a person really doesn't need to inhale enough smoke to do any real damage to their lungs. People injecting THC sounds like the idiocy of people the like which that spawned such classics as Reefer Madness.

 

[SolMiester]

I don't smoke and I can't stand the smoking aspect of MJ.

The lungs feel like crap. Your mouth feels like crap. Your head feels like crap.

That's one of the primary reason I've only done it 3-4 times in my life.

Whereas many are the complete opposite of that!....serious, people dont give a shit about buggery, but a puff on one of Gods own feel good plant and its the end of the world!

Exactly. It gets pretty old hearing people say that you should just smoke some weed instead of taking pain medication, it is NOT the same, pot does not act on the same receptors, or provide pain relief in the same way, and sometimes that is the only way to relieve the pain.

 

[BUTCH1]

you were tripping out, man.

That's the thing about acid, I only wound up using it about 6-7 times, sometimes it wold be a laugh-fest other times it got to freaky so I stopped experimenting with it..

i've been debating giving it a shot, still not sure though.

Do it, good or bad trip, it will be crazy.

It's what i've heard, I have a decent connect, so I can get some for free. Might this weekend, we shall see.

Don't get me wrong though, MMJ is great for many things. But it can only do so much.

Try to stay in a familiar environment and don't drive at all. I have no idea what strength is around these days, back in the '70's and '80's it was called "4 way windowpane" I liked the beach, playing frisbee and watching the trails was a blast..

Smoking marijuana, even heavily, is not bad for your lungs. There is no link between marijuana smoking and lung cancer. In fact, people who smoke marijuana and cigarettes have a lower incidence of lung cancer than those who smoke only cigarettes. There is no link between marijuana smoking and any of the numerous breathing problem diseases.

Marijuana smoking is actually beneficial for many with asthma. This effect is attributed to the effect marijuana has on the circulatory system - it tends to dilate airways and blood vessels rather than constrict them, in contrast to tobacco.

The only lung issue marijuana will give you is excess phlegm production and reduced endurance, but only when smoked chronically, and in heavy amounts; the stoner who smokes all day, everyday. This is due to the "mechanical" effect of the sheer quantity of inhaled carbon gumming up the gas exchange parts of the lung, not due to any chemical effect of the compounds in marijuana being harmful.

Injecting a gateway drug like MJ might prove to lower the amount of injection point scars and destroyed veins that plague heroine, meth, and cocaine users. So this may prove beneficial for the drug community as a whole with greater needle skill.

 

[ahenkel]

That's some grade A Pat Robertson level crazy right there.

They have pills now contain concentrates that use a strain that is very strong in CBD's and low in THC. It doesn't give you a head high but it can manage pain incredibly well. I'm talking life changing effects for people on huge amount of painkillers. In the coming decades marijuana is going to revolutionize the medical field world wide. I know I sound like a delusional stoner but that's just what they want you to think

Sativex
1:1 THC:CBD oral spray

Basically like a legal tincture.

Yes, except as I said it works in a completely different way. CBD's don't dull the pain, or make it go away, they make it easier to ignore.

Seems to be along the same line of thinking as using SSRI's for pain control, they alter your mood, and help you to be able to ignore the pain instead of actually dulling it. Could be a great thing for some, as opiates, even when taken as directed can have detrimental dependency issues, especially if taken over a long period of time. Though honestly opiates are, aside from said addictive qualities, are relatively harmless drugs, and if taken, and managed even for a life time can be beneficial, giving people their lives back. Now all we have to do is break the stigma's associated with long term drug use.

Feel the same way and that's why I use a Vaporizer. I do not smoke it.

Vaprozing produces completely different feeling as well as your body doesn't reject/has any withdraws from chemicals created by combustion.
