Cannabis, the cure all?

Published

Does marijuana really cure just about every ailment known to mankind, or do you also need coconut oil to augment its curative properties?

:D

All my friends in college went to CU. I never joined in but just watching was something else.

And I have to work too. Wonder what we will get coming in tonight.

My guess is...nothing.

Now, if it was National Fireball Whiskey Day, I'd count on a few fender benders.

Let me just say, for the record, that I don't smoke pot, nor have I since 1989. Metallica concert.

Has nothing to do with today being 4/20...well in 22 minutes at least.

That was my first thought when I read the thread title...."of course someone did this on 4/20".

Off by a day, but that's where my brain went first.

Probably mid '80s or maybe early '90s for me as well. But I can say I have never smoked a legal cigarette in my life, inspite of growing up with both parents as smokers!

The reason for my thread is that, I was just reading on Facebook, once again, all the things cannabis cures. I couldn't help myself but to start a thread at my favorite website!

But I thought coconut oil was the cure-all! How could have I been so misled?!?

:p

It's a state holiday here in Colorado! Sadly, I still have to go to work. :(

Same here in California. I drove by the local head shop, and it's is all decked out and ready to celebrate :)

My husband's best friend tried to convince me to partake in some weed candy because it would help with my epilepsy, anxiety & depression. I had to tell him no many, many times.

He just didn't understand that if I got drug tested I could lose my license. I guess he was trying to be nice, but no. My medication works fine.

Maybe there is some truth to what they are telling you: Marijuana Decreases Insulin Resistance | 420 InSight

I have the other kind of diabetes, I use insulin just fine, I don't make it at all. Thus the pesky insulin habit...

I've heard it does do wonders for diabetic neuropathy though.

Maybe not smoking weed has made your attempt at rebutting my post sort of lame. It was an exaggeration. Come back when you have a real counterargument. Or an actual point to make at all, for that matter.

Not trying to rebut your post.

Couldn't care less if you smoke weed. Or eat it. Legally, it's about the same as speeding, and medically, no worse than any of 1000 other things solid nurses do.

So, sorry, no counterargument. Just kidding. Relax.

Ever go to the grocery store and had to pray and pay - that is, pray that you'll have enough to pay for your groceries. Well, same concept just that you pray you don't get drug tested until it's out of your system lol.

It does wonders for anything that a smoker wants it to do wonders for.
