User ID: 76833323 United States 08/21/2021 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why does my digestion get worse when I quit using cannabis ? I get the worst indigestion and bloat after eating and I gain weight when i usually Quoting: Thracian Quit from over eating all the time .I seem to eat less food and my digestion is way better when I use cannabis on a regular basis .Here I am sitting with a bunch of drunks in AA That I can’t relate to .They all look so depressed . please pin if you can I could use some karma I think this thread is very informative . I'll pine it post TRump rally...running a rally drinking thread. But there is a very good reason why digestion gets screwy. Cannabis is a 'general tonic'. If you are prone to stomach issues you will get those back until they heal themselves which will happen. Look at the foodie thread and Louis from Richmond and his reliance on insulin. Dropped massively after a year of RSO. It takes time to get ill, it takes time to heal. I couldnt find the thread, can you please link it if you could? Well Im out on a bond right now and Im doing na/aa and outpatient to look for my case. So heres a story, when i was in jail i was on lockdown for 7 days,i couldnt access caffeine. My digestion,anxiety and chest pains were almost gone. I didnt drink coffee until I got into general population on the day I was getting out on bond...and guess what problems came back soon as I started drinking coffee on a regular basis..Bloat/chest pain/anxiety/shortness of breath..Of course this doesnt apply to a healthy person with no digestive issues. That's because coffee is super acidic like 3 pH and consuming acids causes digestive issues. Caffiene is a stimulant and stimulant drugs cause anxiety and stress in the body raising cortisol production. If you require caffiene i suggest instead of coffee you switch to a healthier alternative like organic Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Tea. Matcha tea has l-theanine in it which negates the anxiety and jittery feeling from the caffiene. Plus it's chock full of antioxidants. What about yerba mate? I've never tried yerba mate. . |

User ID: 76833323 United States 08/22/2021 12:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weed has some theraputic uses for people with Parkinsons Disease for example or other neurological issues, etc but beyond that I don't think it has any health benefits. Quoting: Clarence Worley For males, there are two definite ways it's bad for your health. It elevates your estrogen levels while inhibiting testosterone and most weed is chemmed out to increase the yield. Every stoner in the world wants desperately to believe their supplier grows organically but unless you know him/her and personally visit the grow operation, I HIGHLY doubt it is. So you're smoking super heated fertilizers & pesticides along with your precious weed. That cannot be good for you. Go read the first page as i posted a link with over 100 scientific studies proving cannabis cures cancers, and another link with 61 health benefits. I've been consuming weed for 20+ years now while exercising and weightlifting at the same time and i've had no issues. I'd worry more about consuming soy if you're worried about estrogen levels. Or the fact that there's birth control in tons of cities drinking waters. Also any good marijuana grower flushes their plants for a couple weeks before harvest to remove any leftover fertilizers or chemicals. Also a lot of growers nowadays use no chemicals and grow only organic. Like this grower here teaches you how to use all organic ingredients in the soil so you only need to use top feeding and water through-out the whole plants life. . |

In that whole time I did have a small few positive spiritual moments (1) I discovered that death is not the end (2) I realized that TIME does not exist. It is an illusion. However, overall weed was a very negative influence on my life. I will say no more than that. In conclusion, DON"T SMOKE WEED LIKE I USED TO. P.S.

It elevates your estrogen levels while inhibiting testosterone and most weed is chemmed out to increase the yield. Quoting: Clarence Worley If you were talking about alcohol, I'd agree with you. When I was drinking daily (like a fish), my T-levels were very low according to the tests. Eventually, I replaced alcohol with weed and T-levels went slightly above normal for my age. Not to mention, drinking caused me to be overly emotional, prone to sadness, and a pussy... with occasional bouts of violent, drama queen rage. Switched to cannabis and I felt normal, confident, less depressed and levelheaded. Not to mention, more energy (probably from increased T-level) and motivation to get shit done. Anyone who drinks alcohol and shits on weed is just plain ignorant of the positive effects of the plant. I used to be that ignorant fool. Yes that's because alcohol is what inhibits testosterone and increases estrogen levels. Especially beers with hops in them. All those symptoms you listed are low-T and high estrogen in males. Alcohol is nothing more than a poison and should be completely banned and replaced with marijuana. . |

To look [good] for your case? I see. Healthwise why not cut out coffee and keep smoking the herb? Where is the confusion? Well I cant smoke the herb now,soon as I can Im getting my card and getting the good stuff along with RSO.Cutting out caffeine is super hard, i get really depressed but if i fast throughout the day it helps cut the craving for caffeine. Quitting anything cold turkey causes uncomfortable withdrawal effects. Taper down the caffiene and then quit, or switch to matcha tea which is healthier. Gotta fix these gut issues first,im going to switch to matcha tea,yerba mate is basically the same-has low caffeine and less acidic. I just love it when im consuming cannabis i have to eat less and think about food less.My portions are way smaller. Surprising isnt? You'd think id get fatter and eat more bc of the munchies...

Wait a second. You are in AA? For weed? What the fuck. I did. For weed. 30 years ago in college. They made me do substance abuse education. Where I met dealers of everything. They also made me go to intensive outpatient therapy for 2 months. Where my counselor tried to score weed all the time from me. They made me do 12 months of AA for group therapy therapeutics. That’s where I turned several senior citizens off of booze and gained a loyal client base. Even got a homeless man into a home once we got him off booze. Lastly they made me do 80 hours community service. Any non profit they said. So I picked NORML. That did not go over very well with my attorney or the judge. But I jumped and got the whole 2 joints expunged. Jeez! Sorry they did that to you. Thanks.

User ID: 75615959 United States 08/22/2021 01:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Probably not good for everyone and I definitely don’t advocate it for younger people in their teens or early 20’s, not while your Brain & emotional development is still taking place. Quoting: Babel Starry Night For me personally, I have what I think is likely hereditary major depressive disorder as well as PTSD. I have trouble connecting and bonding with loved ones on an emotional, heart-centered, deeper level. I used to be chronically withdrawn in general, from a very early age. I thought it was normal because my whole entire family was that way..I was so lost inside myself for so long that I had no concept at all of how the outside world actually perceived me. Part of knowing who you are, who you really are, is based on the awareness and perceptions of others. Nowadays, people describe me as “enlightened and transcendental” when they meet me. Loving, calming, easygoing. Almost like I’m “high” all of the time. I think that’s really funny, because I never had that concept of myself. I only use marijuana once a week or so. It was and is an important key or tool to unlock something. Once I leaned how to unlock it myself, on my own, marijuana no longer became necessary. I can feel “high” without it. Strange.. Marijuana saved my life and allowed me to access my heart center and relate/connect to friends and family on an empathic, open-hearted level. Without this “tool,” I’d be a basket case. It is not to be used as a crutch, however. Carlos Castenada wrote a lot about “tools.” "Probably not good for everyone and I definitely don’t advocate it for younger people in their teens or early 20’s, not while your Brain & emotional development is still taking place. " Nah, marijuana won't harm the development of the brain. Alcohol, cocaine, meth and etc however definitely will. When you ingest marijuana it's called being "high" for a reason, you take in the plant's consciousness and it raises your vibration and consciousness. However yes the spiritual path is often the lonely isolated path. You are so right about the plant consciousness. I actually made this exact comment on here a few months back. Hehe Cathar Sis |

The study for nicotine isn't finished yet but they dragged there feet i think on purpose. "Smoker man bad" they have admitted it works as a profalactic but wanna be careful not to put out misinformation. Smokers are not getting it though. SARS-CoV-2 is the agent responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that continues to sweep the globe posing a threat to global public health and the worldwide economy. Marsha Rosner from the University of Chicago in Illinois and colleagues found that cannabidiol (CBD) and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD potently blocked SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung epithelial cells. The CBD inhibited viral gene expression and reversed many of the effects the virus has on host gene transcription. The compound also induced the expression of interferons – cell signaling proteins that are produced by host cells as an early response to viral invasion. Furthermore, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was up to an order of magnitude lower in a cohort of patients who had been taking CBD, compared with matched patients who had not been taking CBD. |

User ID: 27314376 United States 08/22/2021 04:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't believe anyone claims weed to be "good for you" as in something we should all partake in, like, say, vitamins. I find this to be a trick question and you likely know better. That being said, weed has it's purpose both as a medicinal drug and also recreational. It's not nearly as bad as say, hard alcohol, which has no medicinal purpose whatsoever and can and will cause cirrhosis of the liver or a physical dependency where you literally feel like you will die without it. Weed does not have this affect although it does make SOME people lazy. This, however, has been fixed by the simple fact that a dispensary is now capable of "dialing-in" a strand of weed to give you exactly what you want and need. Furthermore, the effects of weed short or long term are negligible compared to cocaine or methamphetamine or even opiates. In fact, weed has LONG-TERM medicinal purposes, particularly with cancer patients and those with chronic pain and eye disease and forms of anxiety, something that cannot be said at all for the other "recreational" drugs mentioned. And I am just talking about SMOKING weed...I haven't even touched on weed in other forms where the THC has been removed...such as in CBD oils and tinctures that have shown, in many cases, to cure some forms of cancer and to eliminate the symptoms of depression and schizophrenia. Of course, the mainstream would NEVER acknowledge that certain CBD tinctures could possibly CURE anything because, in America, keeping people sick with toxic "cures" and addictive and unnecessary pills is WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS ALL ABOUT. Sickness is BIG money here. America, in fact, is the ONLY country in the WORLD where cancer is a death sentence...but I digress. Anyway, can't believe I took your bait. Go look it up. It's all there. I don't really care if you hate weed or not or like it or not. There are negative aspects to everything but weed has more of the positive. I don't even smoke it but if I needed to I would. It's all fun & games until the Dogman stands up Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Shit! What a ride!" In times of trouble, I ask myself, "What would Sarah Conner do?" |
