No discussion of personal use.

Thanks.

Those who continue to discuss ANY sort of personal use may face temporary posting bans.
No means no.

and, as always:

Do NOT reply to this post!!

OP... ummmmm.......

Sounds like a stomach bug to me.

When Dr's don't know they guess which is why they are said to be "practicing" medicine.

Good try but no bueno.

Rather surprised that the remedy is a hot shower and not another drug.

If this is the extreme end of the side effects from using marijuana then it's still fine by me!

Its actually a failsafe.

If you smoke heavily, there's a decent chance you're forgetting to shower often enough 😄

Kidding of course.

Weed rules.

If 7 billion people were all smoking weed......bye, bye, war. a reply to: MuonToGluon

Heavy Marijuana usage tied to newly diagnosed illness

I'm willing to put up with an occasional adverse reaction.
It is far from common!
If you read the complete literature on aspirins, the list of oopses ends with sudden death!
Same with anything!
The percentages make it a non starter.
Sounds like the dregs of the Reefer Madness 'ban it' fools taking a last shot.

I also read that stats say that driving has IMPROVED in pot legal states!!

According to Ayurveda the guy should use some Calamus root everyday and discontinue pot use to avoid high bills for hot water. The endocannabinoid system has to downregulate instead of working. It's a hack. A cheat. The organs become depleted and desensitised with a tolerance buildup. Everytime we use any substance that mess with body receptors there's a space to balance and disbalance it.
You can also say it's systemic just not so apparent in smaller doses.
We study the plant for how long? A few decades. Observing two receptors' affinity of a couple of cannabinoids in vitro and in various organs in a body. Science MO is the "bottom up" research but it's virtually impossible to do with the whole plant and get the whole picture including everything non-scientific like personality and spirituality. No one will fund it like a space program. And it's just one plant.

We must not ignore thousands of years long experience of the Indian medicine - Ayurveda. Everyone should be able to read the whole thing (even if a little biased one) as a part of their unbiased approach to deny ignorance.

This part really screams 'propaganda' to me.

Pffftt! Yeah, because stoners are so productive. PMSL
