Randomguy Posted March 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2019 Why is it that in movies, whenever cocaine kilo's are tested or looked at or whatever before or after a drug deal, they always use a knife (preferably a switchblade) and they cut it in the stupidest places?

Quote Di Forti cautions that until more research is done, it is in most people’s best interest to stay away from high potency cannabis. “If you want to experiment with it, do it rarely,” she said. I will also say that people who are experiencing early symptoms of psychosis do smoke a lot of marijuana. So yeah, it's not surprising that high TCH, low CBD strains may make symptoms worse.

Randomguy Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share #15 Posted March 20, 2019 31 minutes ago, Prophet Zacharia said: I'm going to say that this advice will go largely unheeded. Yes. I will say that we don't know the source organization of this study, so many people still want to paint pot as the devil weed because they are of the old school or the agenda favors one view over another. Even if this study were actually accurate, it speaks nothing of clarifying whether psychotic folks are self medicating to help, rather than normal folks going all "reefer madness" on us all (you might remember how accurate that movie was). You could probably make the same association with alcohol, pills, or wheatgrass juice. People are going to take stuff to remove/add filters when stuff is not right internally, and the more whacked out you are, the more you will typically consume to alter your reality. We have learned that everything people told us about marijuana is wrong, literally everything. The government, anti-drug folks, everybody has been putting out disinformation to scare the scareable, so this has inoculated us to the point when we would doubt even valid anti-drug information, were it to be presented. It works, I simply don't believe that "study". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to stay stoned to avoid them. So are you looking at a random sample, or are a percentage self-medicating in an attempt to avoid psychotic episodes? Another problem is in the nature of psychotic breaks. If you have the potential, pretty much anything can trigger one, you just have to line up the ducks in a nice row, and off you go. Stress and a cup of coffee can do it. The real message here is that we need to keep recreational drugs out of the hands of teens, as much as we can. One of the ways we can do better that way is better education and social services. One irony here is that where pot is illegal, it's often easier to get for a teen than booze. " In 2015 the Toronto-based International Center for Science in Drug Policy issued a report—“State of the Evidence: Cannabis Use and Regulation”—that detailed this discrepancy. It cited a British study that estimated the significant rise in pot use should have produced, between 1990 and 2010, a 29 percent increase in schizophrenia cases among men and 12 percent among women. But according to other data, during the time when usage was thought to have grown most (1996 to 2005), the number of new schizophrenia cases remained stable or declined. “These findings strongly suggest that cannabis use does not cause schizophrenia,” the center’s report notes.

When I first started using pot, a friend was growing medical weed, and part of an organisation of growers. So he would have a lot of different pots to try. I tried this one strain, he didn't even know what it was, and I just started laughing, and didn't stop for a couple minutes. I felt like Data when Q gave him the gift of laughter. I didn't know why, but it was wonderful. Which is really nice when you have cancer. I'd love to know what that strain was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
