FDA scientists have recommended that the federal government remove marijuana from its most restrictive category of drugs.

Since we're on the subject of marijuana, I found this article comfirms something that I have firmly believed for years about it. It not just Delta-9 THC that makes things to be interesting it's the whole chorus, that's why I still smoke bud as well as concentrate. What I hadn't realized in my many years of personal research is this new an interesting connection between a certain terpene and anxiety, which is sometimes an unwanted affect.

What if there were a drug that if you took it you took it you would know truth from fiction? What schedule would 'they' put such a drug on? Would you take it?

-The anxiety and paranoia are what drove me away from any kind of pot consumption. When a high was good it was really good, but more often than not my highs were paranoia/anxiety fueled and not at all pleasant.

In the end I dropped it cause the bad so heavily outweighed the good and not knowing what I was going to get was the kicker.

 

[WelshBloke]

Yep, that's the exact same one!

Do they do different physically sized packs? I know that they do different humidity levels but the ones I have are a tad too big to fit in the lids of my pots.

Perhaps what happens is that as the doors of perception expand what becomes clearer are truth you do not want to face.

Maybe what a pot head is is a cerebralist, a person all up in his or her head chaining from one thought to the next via the process of association and the associations or feelings associated with differing thoughts that we have have negative associations related to our own individual and personal life experiences.

So there you are freewheeling through the universe on the wings of associations and imagination when out of the dark a feeling gets triggered and you crash and burn. Thought ends and panic begins. Suddenly all resources turn to putting the feeling that peeked out back in its lock box. For a moment there Pandora almost had you by the nuts.

Better to open such boxes, I would say, with a therapist that understands such things.

This is why I think weed should remain illegal in all 50 states and US possessions. We don't need people running around out in public on weed induced paranoid anxiety trips. Too many weirdos out there already.

They were always out there running around full of repressed feelings making them inwardly miserable. All the drugs do for many is to make they aware of how anxious they are. You should ask yourself if maybe the really dangerous problem is how many there are who don't yet know it. Take yourself, for example, all anxious about how drugs might increase the number of people running around on weed induced paranoid anxiety trips. And you're not alone. Lot's of people try to solve that problem with alcohol. Here's looking atcha. Hic!

Ill drink to that!

However people are not going to find answers to life's problems in a bottle of booze or a stick of weed. No, we need to asses our individual wants and needs (or lack thereof) and make changes as necessary.

If one wants to seek alternative mental treatment with mind altering substances they should do it under the care and supervision of medical personnel in a controlled environment. They should not be taking drugs willy nilly just for recreational purposes.

Funny how the "small government" types are so picky and choosy. Don't tread on me, unless it's something icky I don't like.

Why stop at weed? Social media is awful for society, ban it. Lack of sleep is a real problem with tons of people, we need government sleep monitors to find those not getting the recommended amount, report to the nearest sleep center if you get a notice. Looked around and seen how obese people are? The solution is government-mandated food programs where you can pick your food from an approved list. Considering how many health problems are related to obesity, it affects me a lot more than some people toking, by driving up my insurance and other medical costs. As far as social media, it's likely to simply be the death of us with all the damn conspiracy nonsense..."climate change is hoax, I saw a guy on youtube saying so!"


Again, good luck with fighting the weed tide. If I toked myself, I'd make a puff in honor of your valiant struggle. That sand castle you built at low tide ain't gonna make it. You had your reefer madness driven reality, but it's going away. Might take a few years, or even decades in some of the less enlightened states, but it'll happen.

My assumption is that Felix is invested in the human misery industry (companies that profit off the war on drugs). Why else would he pretend to get a crap about drug use?

Too cynical for my taste. I think the problem is that while there are downsides to pot that warrant careful consideration, making it a schedule one drug creates far worse social negatives than that extreme reaction is worth. The war on drugs with pot being included as schedule one was always obviously going to be a disaster. It was a policy based on conservative fear rather than compassion and good intention.

Bigotry and motivated ignorance always presents those two faces. “Society must conform under rules that protect me from my projections. If there are no draconian rules I will succumb to temptation. That is the only force that assures I act as a good person should.”

This creates the same hilarious notion that robots or machines with artificial intelligence will go crazy and destroy the world if they break free of the three laws of robotics programming.

As soon as you create a taboo and. maintain it by force you create an unconscious urge to indulge it. This is the snake that told Eve what to offer Adam.

Have you ever been experienced?

So what's on your list of government approved recreational activities?
Morning physical jerks, two minutes hate, persecution of the other?

That's interesting. Sour diesel-based hybrids have been one of my go-to choices for quite some time, and d-limonene is one of the prominent terpenes for that strain.

Do they do different physically sized packs? I know that they do different humidity levels but the ones I have are a tad too big to fit in the lids of my pots.

I've only seen what appears to be that same size.
