Re: Weed!!!
people look in to CBD as well. Pain killer of future
Re: Weed!!!
We actually prescribe pharmaceutical cannabinoid tablets quite often to increase appetite. Its called Marinol. But I think you will better benefit from PEG Tube
Re: Weed!!!
not the tube!
So, cannabis is being used in medicine. Interesting. Has it been used for treating anxiety and depression too yet or just the appetite?
Re: Weed!!!
It’s not recommended for that because it’s a depressive (Pisiform correct me if I’m wrong here). In fact it can counteract certain medications prescribed for anxiety and depression. Wellbutrin comes to mind.
Re: Weed!!!
@Bobby1, that was your genius suggestion? ![]()
PS : @fbp,I’m assuming you meant cannabis is depressive.
Re: Weed!!!
Yup! I was reading a medical journal article about it some time ago… Let me see if I can dig it up for you!
Re: Weed!!!
Well, Marinol is a synthetic cannabinoid. Otherwise, normal marijuana “weed” use medically varies state by state here in US but usually used in cancer /palliative patients for analgesic purpose Only few states have approved medical marijuana. Its still a Schedule I drug in the US
Re: Weed!!!
Always made me happy, FBP is miss goody two shoes, she never tried none. After the bhang incidence, I laughed for 3 days..lol. There are different opinions but is great for anxiety. They have been using it for 4000 yrs. Also makes you real hungry, Pisi is right.
Anxiety and Medical Marijuana - is Cannabis Good for Anxiety?
Re: Weed!!!
I’m far from a goody two shoes but one of my issues with weed is the lack of control. Without growing it completely yourself you have zero control over whether you’re getting something that has been cut with other things. It’s not a risk I’m prepared to take.
And you are not a depressed or anxious person. As far as I know you aren’t under psychiatric care at this present time? You aren’t taking SSRI’s. This is a very complex drug that needs far more extensive study than we currently have to fully grasp it’s pitfalls AND potentials. It has been shown clearly to increase panic attacks in people who have EXISTING anxiety. You laughing for three days is anecdotal. I’m not trying to diminish your positive experiences (I think it should be legal, taxed and the money made to go to school and health care) but anxiety disorders can be crippling and people shouldn’t be attempting to be their own doctor particularly regarding their neuro function, etc.
Re: Weed!!!
This is why I have not used it in Canada, once it is legalised I am definitely going to enjoy me some, it will be quality controlled. Bhang has been used in India for thousands of years. In many cases medical sciences are behind or totally wrong, I mostly let my body guide me. I know @LP is never gunna use it. Once it gets legal here, I will let you know how it goes. I think the biggest killer is stress and anything that helps destress is a good thing. My wife used to have anxiety but she is much better now, doctor told me that drugs are not a cure you need to change your thoughts.
Re: Weed!!!
Right… again no issue with what you’re saying about your own personal use… hell smoke it every day when it’s legal! How a relatively “normal” functioning person manages stress is completely different than someone who struggles with depression and/ or anxiety (they often go hand in hand). So the way your mind and body can handle the addition of this bit of fun to your overall downtime routine is probably just fine! That won’t exactly be the case with someone who struggles though… the way their brain works, the levels of hormones etc that they produce might look completely different than what you and I have going on in our brains. There’s a reason the drug has been approved with limited function and that’s because, simply, more tests are needed. And speaking as someone who has a sister who struggles with anxiety every day I can tell you that I’m glad they’re taking their time!
I hope you have nothing but positive experiences with it! I’m told by numerous friends it’s a blast. I’m just a type A control freak so if I were ever to do it, I’d need the ability to research the types and grow it from seed lol.
Re: Weed!!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence ![]()
Is it the middle sister?
Re: Weed!!!
Back in Pak Cannabis is very common, hundreds of youngsters around me used it. Wrestlers used the bhang (Edible form) as health food. I am completely ignorant on anxiety issues so I will defer to your knowledge and caution on it. Also I am at a different lifecycle and younger people who have long ways to go need to be a lot more cautious. I worked hard to complete my responsibilities now time to let loose and have some fun. I wont smoke none, I like my lungs, maybe edible form.
Re: Weed!!!
As Sindsagar pointed out, it is legal here, on the west coast. I personally can’t stand the smell of it, smells like skunk. And every single person I have come across who smoked insisted that it was not addictive and they only used it for “anxiety”. And lmao what a joke that was. If you have ever spent time with stoners, you will see that if they don’t smoke weed for a day or two, they are not a pleasant personality to be around. But to each their own.
Re: Weed!!!
There is edible form as well, I think stoners are way cooler than molvis..lol
Re: Weed!!!
Stay away from edibles unless you know your tolerance level…or you will be mowing your lawn with vacume cleaner in next 30 minutes.
