Any pot users here? yes or no

I now do not and have not in a very long time. Back in the very late 60's and 70's I did smoke pot. In my opinion I feel that it should be fully legalized all over. Of course I would have an age limit on using it for recreational use and also would not condone using it or under the influence of the use of it while drive a motor vehicle.
 
Nope!

Alcohol and cigarettes were always my drugs of choice.

I never cared for the smell of marijuana or the paranoia over being caught with it when I was a kid.

I tried marijuana twice, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I don't know if it was me or the quality of the pot.

IMO marijuana should be decriminalized for personal use, but not necessarily legalized.

Not until my 30's got a contact high from brother while driving a distance to the building we were working on. Didn't really care if we got there or not. Could see why they liked it, but never tried after that. Family, bills and responsibilities. It is legal here and has been for awhile.
 
I smoked a lot when I was in the military, which is where I was introduced to it, and a plethora of other drugs of the day at 18. Quit for 5-6 yrs in my mid twenties to early 30's, as it was hard to get the quality I got in Vietnam and Thailand. With the quality available now, I'm a pretty cheap date. Often have a toke or two at the end of the day, or if I'm doing mindless work like painting or house work, or when I take my walks. I like edibles, but takes up to much of the day, and I don't like taking that kind of time away from my projects, which often require my FULL ATTENTION.

I don't drink or smoke but if marijuana would relax me enough to get to sleep quickly and relax my ackey legs I'd try it. I would use the edibles though. I've read smoking marijuana is just as bad for the lungs as tobacco.
I'm not sure If I could afford it. Medical marijuana is pretty expensive stuff to buy on a regular basis.
 
Yep. I smoke about 1/4 of 1/4 tsp of one of many different strains. It doesn't get me too high so I function fine, but the symptoms I have from chronic IBS are greatly relieved. I used to years ago and the pot back then is nothing like the industry pot. They are working night and day to make Medical Marijuana very effective for health issues. Google "Medical Marijuana and [the symptoms that ail you]" and research it's use.

I'd like to try it, I have IBS as well and insomnia and recently trying a new medication (which cost me $1,900 :mad:) didn't work. I tried smoking MJ years ago and fairly recently and got nervous and jumpy and paranoid and nauseated each time. Somebody told me that was because I had probably smoked the Satava (sp?) strain and I should try the Indica (sp?) strain instead, that the Indica might work for me. Does anybody know about these different strains?

Yes, I have learned a lot about the different strains. You are probably right about you trying sativa. I have to be careful with using it . The safest you can try is 50% sativa 50% indica hybrid. They myriad of strains range from 90% sativa all the way to 90% indica. Both of those are too much for me. I have a few 70% i use occasionally and the sativa is energizing, the indica is relaxing. I mainly use 50% or %40%.
When needing to get some I look at the dispensary menu. Then I go to Leafly . At the top of the page I search for that strain. It gives a lot of info on it, and I read several of the comments on its use. They also have many articles on use of the strains. If you input your location it will tell you which dispensary near you have the strain.
 
We got my 95-year-old mother on edibles during the last month of her life. It was a miracle at controlling her pain and severe nausea.

She'd laugh and say, "I bet you never thought your old Mom would turn into a pot-head, did you?"

I can honestly say I've never used pot in any form.....just haven't felt the need for it. BUT, you can bet I'd be trying out edibles if I ever get to that point that nothing else was working.
