    I do not agree some people in powerful positions are anti-drugs and abuse their power to outlaw them
    all one has to do is look at the classification of Marijuana to see it is a scheduled one substance, but has medical uses, meaning it can not be a scheduled one substance

    same is true of those anti-cigarettes, they mandated all cigarette manufacturer in the USA add carpet glue to all cigarettes sold to make them harmful to smokers, these people were not happy that the oldest living people are smokers, they are hoping the carpet glue changes that

    Until you can find a way to control the hands it get into, it should be!

    This whole issue of medical/recreational marijuana usage should be a tenth amendment issue that you could get republicans to agree with, however...

    I'm not sure you've got many republican friends left after a year of TDS nonsense. I'm gonna guess that you'll just have to continue calling Trump racist, without the benefit of your "medicine".

    You know, though, this is problematic, too, because in fact, it's not anger over them messing with marijuana, with the silly accent. I never even mentioned the word marijuana in my OP. You brought it into the discussion--to belittle the point, cheapen the point--y'know, the point that messing with my meds means I can't work, something I had always imagined was important to conservatives that want people to maintain productive lifestyles.

    I've been experimenting around with both, looking for combinations that may or may not be effective. I use the THC strains for different symptoms than CBD strains. Chronic sciatic pain from spinal tumor is the main symptom for which I've been prescribed. For that, I find mid-range THC 50/50 hybrids (indica/sativa) to be most effective. The tumor is still there and grows, so I've looked into CBD strains and their effectiveness in fighting cancer. My state only allows patients to purchase in its most natural form (no oils, tinctures, edibles, etc); our governor was intent on trying to make it fail, and cutting out options that are expensive and difficult to make at home yet also help control much of the high, was part of that approach. I've experimented with vaping CBD strains and monitoring the growth rates, but it all just seemed like pissing in the wind. I'm not saying CBDs can't help fight cancer, just that vaping it wasn't a reliable method of intake for my needs. I've heard that strains with both a high CBD and mid-range THC have shown the most promise in this area. I also use it for problems with appetite for a digestive system racked over by three full-blown 6 week radiation treatments and also a couple different immunotherapy drugs. Mid-range THC sativas work best for this. It's like double-plated armor around your cut for a solid couple of hours. I keep one strain of high-range THC indica, for overnight use, taken about an hour before bed, for anxiety and insomnia from 20 years of incurable but deadly and really painful and now partially-paralyzing tumor.

    I've noticed also, that although it will initially raise my blood pressure significantly for the first few days of use if I've gone longer than a few days between doses, but when the usage is continuously maintained over longer than a few days, my blood pressure begins to show significant drops.

    It's an extremely fascinating drug that far too many people overlook as just a scam to get high because, thanks to American superstition, our failure to take this drug seriously as a medicine while other nations are will be simply another facet of the decline in America's future.

    But who cares? We got Oxycodone, right?

    Problem with cannabis is it's far easier to cultivate then it is to distill alcohol.. You get alcohol wrong and it explodes, catches fire or simply poisons..
