What will Trump Admin do about marijuana?

[untermensche]

Well you consume water too.

I see no point.

The difference is, I need water to live and enjoy living. You don't need tobacco/marijuana to live and enjoy living. They are completely alien to human body drugs.

You don't need a lot of things to meagerly survive as an insect.

The human body has Cannabinoid receptors and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinic_acetylcholine_receptor

These are both drugs that produce a physiological response that people like.

The difference is one has a lot of potential serious health problems associated with it and one does not.

Marijuana is my life. I smoke before I get out of bed. I smoke 3x before my first meal. I LOVE it. But I am an adult, with a fully developed brain. I have no responsibilities. Should the young get the same privilege? Smoking like I do at age 14 would result in doing nothing in life. Everyone I know is perfect proof of that. Every kid you see on youtube and twitter smoking away and jabbering about shoe laces... they will have the same fate. Marijuana could destroy the country within 50 years but at this point I don't think it matters, so legalize it, Trump. You have my permission.

You don't need tobacco/marijuana to live and enjoy living. They are completely alien to human body drugs

Marijuana isn't alien. there are Cannabinoid receptors in the body. And no I wouldn't enjoy living without them. I don't know about tobacco. Could go without those anyway.

Well, duh, otherwise it would not "work". But these receptors are not supposed to be "recepting" marijuana.

And no I wouldn't enjoy living without them. .

That's bullshit.

barbos those receptors were made for pot and nothing else. I'm not going to be the one looking it up, but there is one in particular, it is for NOTHING BUT marijuana. More than one I think. And you don't know my health situation, so marijuana is not "bullshit" to me. I'd be a miserable prick without it. I'd have to use opiates. Sound like a better idea?

You looked it up and didn't give a link, so I still disagree. And the only thing more frustrating than having a weird thought process, barbos, is forgetting that you're constantly five steps ahead because of it. My memory is my to blame in most misunderstandings. Can I have that link? The one that says there are no specific receptors for delta 9 and thc? And all other things found ONLY in marijuana while you're at it. Thank you.

All my friends growing who smoked weed everyday ended up, sooner or later, getting a diagnosis for some serious mental problem. In their case it was self medication. I'm not saying you are crazy. But I'm in my 40'ies now and none of those friends still smoke weed more than occasionally at parties. But quite a few take medication for their mental issues. And they're a lot happier now.

But each to their own. I'm not implying anything. Just giving you that nugget of information to do with as you please.

Marijuana has shown no effectiveness in serious conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

It is effective in some for mild depression though.

Many people take it as a way to enhance experience.

But if too much is taken too quickly it can dull experience. It can produce drowsiness.

*shrug*
I started smoking at age 15 - it has been a half century now, and I'm still waiting for any of the things you listed to befall me.
PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. Psychoactive drugs effect people differently. I've seen people (young and adult) exhibit symptoms of severe toxic psychosis the first time they smoke weed, and I've seen people say "aaah, I should have tried this long ago".
My usage habits have changed quite a bit over the decades. Lately I use it mainly as a sleep aid. It works better with less after-effect than anything else I've tried (incl temazapam, zolpidem etc).

I wouldn't take my case as anecdotal support for similar behavior, nor would I take your anecdotes as a blanket caution against use.

 

[another1]

I take it for nerve pain from Chronic Lyme and sciatica from botched back surgeries. I have hep c beating down on me and marijuana makes me hungry. It is good to eat when you're sick. Oh I have very high eye pressure that is glaucoma related, but my age when diagnosed made it "profuse floaters" diagnosis. I take Lataniprost at night and marijuana every hour for that alone. Marijuana is everything to me because I like to eat. And I like to walk without screaming in pain. And I like metal. Metal happens to sound good when you're high. Metal is all the reason I ever needed but now half of my body happens to be comprised of it, so yeah. Pins, screws going back to age six. Thank GOD I smoked it most my life, huh.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Synthetic marijuana is Marinol. It is prescribed for nausea and loss of appetite.

You seem to know a lot about subject, is there are reasons why?

So-called synthetic marijuana is not marijuana at all.

Well, it's chemically different but similar and effects are similar too. It's just people overdose often.

My first thought would be he knew someone with cancer.

My understanding is that it is THC, or perhaps a bioidentical chemical.

I gave you a link, it's wikipedia. People did not evolve chewing pot. It's pot evolved being chewed by animals, THC a plant's protection.

 

[another1]

So if THC is a plant's protection AND beneficial to humans, it sure isn't protecting itself very well. Even animals find it irresistible. I just MURDERD some plants a few minutes ago. The torture never stops for those little guys around here. THC was seriously intended to protect the plant? I guess it was humans adapting to the plant as a food source during thousand year famines, that gave them the superpower to get high on it? And I asked you to disprove that there are components of the human body that are there for carrying marijuana chemicals only. Nobody can disprove that because it is true... I've read it several times in life, so I don't feel an obligation to link you. That was your burden because you said I was wrong. This is how this works right

All vitamins are probably chemical compounds "designed" to kill creatures eating it, and then evolution came along and the creatures not only became tolerant to them but started needing them. That's the way evolution works.

All vitamins are poisonous if eaten in too large quantities. Hell, water is poisonous if you drink enough of it. So stuff being poisonous isn't an argument in itself. Everything is poisonous. In what way is it poisonous and so on.

Marijuana has not been studied that much. We don't really know how dangerous, or if it's dangerous. The war on drugs shut that research down before it really got ramped up, and we're only barely starting with that research again.

 

[another1]

Wonder how the human end worked, with the pot situation. We are meant to process it in our brains for some reason, or we became very tolerant to it (because of the famine thing).

You appear to imply that people somehow developed these receptors because of the pot. This is ridiculous thing to say. These receptors react to internally produced chemicals. Most of the drug producing plants do so to protect itself from insects and animals. In case of THC it protects from UV radiation.
In any case humans smoking pot is a very recent (evolutionary speaking) development.

You consider pot a food? You are very weird individual.

 

[DrZoidberg]

Yes, it's "meant to" be processed in our brains. But all psychoactive chemicals in plants are "designed" to make creatures not eat them. Remember that when you smoke weed, you barely smoke quarter of a gram in a go. If you'd eat enough Marijuana to get the calories to sustain you, just imagine how high you'd be? If that was all you ate you wouldn't function. So it's a very effective weapon against being eaten. Which is what it's for.

There's loads of things we find alternative usages for, which aren't what they are designed for

Auctually in order to enjoy my life I do need marijuana. I have RA really bad in my hands and wrists and the weed provides relief. The legal meds make me ill the kind of ill where you just move into the shitter and stay there.
As far as resources used l grow my own in my backyard in place of the shrubs and lawn that were here when we bought the house. Since I started this my contribution to the local landfill has dropped way off because I now compost. Water I collected during the winter rains gets me into early July and grey water I collect from bathing and washing dishes and such takes me to harvest. The resources I use were being used regardless of my plants.

Have you enjoyed smoking tobacco as well? I don't believe pot is better treatment than conventional drugs.
