I used to use it recreationally but no longer do for several reasons.
I have used it at times for nausea and it does help (not prescribed legally). And yes I have tried phenergan and compazine but found no benefit from them. __________________ The purpose of life is not to be happy.

i use it legally to help with my stress/depression/eating disorder/insomnia.... pretty much everything..... but it's always temporary relief from these issues.... not a treatment, really. because as soon as the cannabis wear off, so does the relief. and all my problems are again.... occurring constantly.
may i ask why you stopped? I have yet to find a reason for it to be dangerous (not trying to start a debate just curious as to why you stopped because I, myself, chose to cut back on the use to try and cope with my problems without it) __________________ smile, this too shall passso much for a wonderland....

I became aware that it had negative effects on me one evening when I smoked a bit and then made a business call and I had difficult expressing myself as well as normal. For several years I have had apathy and cannot complete simple tasks at times. So I thought perhaps the marijuana was causing the apathy. Plus I have asthma and I know that smoking anything is not good for my lungs. And I don't really have the extra money for it.
As far as being dangerous I don't think it is unless you are driving a vehicle after smoking weed. It does affect your depth perception so I would not ever drive my car or ride or handle my horse after using it. I read that THC is now available in a capsule but I don't recall what it is called. I have read that there is no toxic dose of marijuana known. It is not physically addictive like alcohol however it can be psychologically addictive. I have been using xanax and temazapam for several years for anxiety and insomnia. Those work better for those symptoms than the marijuana. Plus the fact that marijuana is illegal is a deterrent. __________________ The purpose of life is not to be happy.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
