I had never smoked pot, well, twice but I had not get high because I think I am a such control freak that I can't relax even smoking pot. I had just went on a customer again and I am realizing I need something to get on...no, St.John's Worth does nothing!!!
Seems like very soon pot will be legal in every state, so what is your experience if you have any? Does it really make you love people or just make you love food? Because I do not need more food in my system. It is up to 'enough'...almost.
Any comments?

Pot made me not care, entirely too mellow to want to do anything.....and ravenously hungry.
Neither of these are attributes that I like in myself, so I don't smoke and haven't since I was an undergrad.

As far as inducing a "high" is concerned, no, not everyone gets high from marijuana. For medical purposes, it often does work to relieve pain. My father used marijuana for angina pain, and it worked quite well. But again, the same compound can affect different people across a wide spectrum. ades.bc.ca/Drug_facts/marijuana.html

What are you looking to "cure". My only experience with it is watching how my husband was on it. Hours of binge cleaning (not effective mind you), laughing, eating, and general bizarre behavior followed by lots of sleeping, forgetting to go to work, forgetting he went to job interview after losing his job from forgetting to go to work...then there was the money for it and the selling my stuff to sell to get more money... My opinion of pot went from neutral to not so good over the past 5 years.

It definitely helps those who are taking treatments that affect appetite, yet cannot afford to lose any more weight. Marinol is the legal pharmaceutical and my mom was on it after she was diagnosed with cancer.

I tried it a few times in college. That was in the 1970s so the statute of limitations has expired and they can't arrest me for it anymore.
From what I remember it made me giggly. I liked that. I don't remember any really crazy cases of the munchies. I never really got into it- I like my mind in its normal state and I never liked the idea of inhaling hot smoke into my lungs and then holding it there as longs as possible.
It's not legal in our state. If it were legalized and put into a food product (i.e., didn't have to be smoked) I might try it and see if I liked it.

I've never smoked (or otherwise ingested it) and I'm not at all interested. DH and one of his buddies used to smoke occasionally out in the backyard (when it was just us adults and the kids were elsewhere for the night) but just the smell of it made me queasy. Oddly, second-hand cigarette smoke doesn't bother me all that much.
As with anything else, people will have a very large scope of reactions and it also depends if anything else is in your system as well. And the strength of the weed itself.

What are you looking to "cure". Are you serious? You HAD to ask...like you are new here. I am trying to cure un-curable...my disliking of people. Cheap, entitled customers who are asking for discount on .29lb of produce!

Put the word organic on all your labels, double all your prices, then put 25% off stickers on everything. Problem solved.
Next.

Natural. The word she's looking for is "Natural". I think that's one word that is not highly regulated.

<<Pulls out recipe for "happy brownies" to make a batch for Athena>> Thanks, but I tried that once. They tasted like brownies with dried grass in them. Well, I guess that's what they were, huh? I didn't get high and had little leafy bits stuck between my teeth.

Organic is not highly regulated. One of my regular customers is an FDA inspector. Organic means you filed a document with the FDA and USDA saying your products are organic. They have a huge backlog and few inspectors, so it'll likely be years before anyone shows up to actually verify your claim of organic. Meanwhile, you're more than welcome to use the labeling as soon as you file the papers. They're supposed to do periodic residue testing on organic produce, but it's the same thing as testing at ports; less than 1% of products actually get tested.
He also told me never to buy grass fed beef unless you know the farmer. Grass fed means the diet included some grass, but can be supplemented or primarily be feed. They can take feed lot cows raised on corn feed, put them in a pasture for one week out of the year, and label them grass fed beef.

I am an admitted daily pot smoker and so are both of my brothers. My middle brother idles on asshole 90% of the time as it is with his personality. When he started smoking daily it made him tolerable & less bite your face off rude. It took the edge off of him. We have always joked that it's his prozac. It makes a drastic improvement on his attitude, his mood & the way he deals with people.
for me, I like the relaxed feeling. I don't like stress, I don't handle stress well and just don't like to be a cranky person (and yeah, I openly admit that I can be cranky & bitchy). So I guess it's also my prozac. Doesn't make me stupid, doesn't make me so stoned I can't function, doesn't make me a lump on the couch staring at the tv. Although, I do love a good Saturday night extra buzz, laying on the floor under the headphones relaxed daze.
I can do my mom/wife job, I just don't buy groceries with a buzz. I don't wake n bake (wake up & get stoned right away). It's like having drinks after work. Once I know I don't have to drive or go back out for the day, then I do my do. I'm also a weirdo that loves to clean while buzzed. so cleaning the floors, having a smoke break, then cleaning the bathrooms is a typical thing.
The typical pot smoker just isn't different from most people. You won't even realize the typical pot smoker is high most of the time. You aren't gonna find us either drooling on the couch or giggling like a moron on the cookie aisle at the grocery store.

I felt like a goldfish with an 8 second memory....took me about an hour to go to bed because I kept forgetting what I was supposed to be doing.
Really very unpleasant...I wouldn't bother.

Never smoked it myself, but my experience with secondhand highs in clubs is a bit tipsy and a bad headache. Not an experience I've chosen to repeat.

I'm going to have to remove a couple of posts in this thread due to ProBoards' ToS. While marijuana is now legal in some states, some other drugs are still illegal and ProBoards ToS states we're not to glamorize illegal drug use. Sorry, but we don't want to lose the board.

No problem, raeoflyte, from my end. I know you didn't mean harm. From ProBoards' end, however, the take would be very different, I'm afraid. Thanks for understanding.

Yes I found out on Friday that even pot smileys are against ToS on Proboards. I found that out from a ProBoards Support Admin.

Don't you have Obamacare now tloonya?
You can have all the medical happy pills you need.
After you do that, you are going to start to wonder why you don't have a pharmacy in your shop!
