A is not linked to cander
M is
A could be used to excess causing overdose (if you wanted it to)
M would be difficult if not impossible to overdose on
Personally I do not smoke marijuana because it is illegal and I did not enjoy it enough to risk any encounter with the law. If you're going to break the law, make sure its worth it.

Interestingly, cannabis oil does not make you gain weight. Also, women for some reason tend to not get the munchies like guys.
Cannabis oil actually has been researched and early studies show that it can slow or stop cancer growth. Now you can expect the BIG PHARMAS to not agree with this or fund studies for obvious reasons. Why would they do studies on something they cannot market? They cannot market something that grows like a weed and can be grown anywhere. There are different types of marijuana. Some have high THC (what gets you stoned) others do not. Cannabis oil does not have THC in it, but it has cannabinoids which help so much with pain for cancer patients. Many people prefer to take cannabis oil capsules rather than smoke it or use a vaporizer. I am using it to help alleviate symptoms of ativan withdrawal. The oil helps me sleep as well as relieve any pain I have.
There was a time when alcohol was prohibited, you may recall from reading history. It was illegal. But the powers that be discoverd they could make money from taxing booze. So now it's legal. Marijuana has gotten a bad rap for no good reason except from people who associate it with long haired hippies from the 60s, and from big pharma who make zero money off of pot because you cannot prohibit people from growing their own, anymore than you could stop people from making moonshine. Marijuana is legal/decriminilized in several states and provinces. Colorado and Calif have made it legal as well as Washington DC. It is a godsend for cancer patients, as anyone who has witnessed someone suffering from cancer has seen. I highly recommend the cannabis oil because it has no THC so you do not get stoned. It comes in gelatin caps. There are no side effects, except pain relief and relaxation. Ativan is a horrible drug with tons of side effects. It is very difficult to get off of. Cannabis oil and marijuana are not addictive, contrary to what you may have heard from propaganda. I don't feel the need to take cannabis oil. I only take it when I get withdrawal symptoms from nasty Ativan, which I will be withdrawing from for at least the next 20 WEEKS. Now, you tell or show me anyone who has to withdraw from marijuana, which has no addictive quality, does not lead to taking other drugs and has and is helping so many people. I will NEVER take an RX again after I am done with this $hit. It does more harm than good and the only people that benefit from Ativan are the drug pushers called doctors and of course, Big Pharma.
