seeing my mother high on medicinal marijuana today was one of the best things i have ever seen

For the first time today in the longest time, I actually seen my mother laughing and pain free.
She has had a incredibly hard life and it has worn her down for sure and is in chronic pain, depression and a whole bunch of other things.
Seeing her try prescribed medicinal marijuana and it taking a lot of that away was pretty crazy.
makes you really wonder why the government fought tooth and nail to make it illegal (obviously money) when it can help people so much

It needs to be decriminalised and made as safe as can be. I had an ex who's Dad used to have it in every way possible and it made him paranoid - over ten locks and chains on the door because he constantly thought people would break in (but it was a nice area) if it could be cleaned up, any risky side effects removed as much as possible and vulnerable people protected. I would be in support - especially for those in chronic pain.

@Patientlywaiting is that a common symptom though? Maybe more with smoking it? My mother takes it in pill form

@Torsten I don't know, I don't understand enough about it. It's the pill form that should be more readily available and side effects controlled and more understood. Remove the illegal cannabis farms and druggies exploiting the vulnerable and dealing on streets.

@Patientlywaiting when i used to smoke it i would get very paranoid like your ex's dad. I think people have different reactions really

@Patientlywaiting the thc content in home grown strains are hit and miss and some use the sprays to increase potency which then leads to paranoia. Regulate and medicate. It needs regulation.

@Torsten it’s a different type of weed not half as strong as you would buy of a dealer and smoke

Carla · 61-69, F

@Funlov that is incorrect. The weed that is legally available, in dispensaries, is not only more potent, but tested and labled with that information.
Strains, potency, amount of cbd, all on the labels.
Street weed is very much inferior to medical weed. I've used it for fifty years, illegally and legally. So...im an expert😏

@Carla not all of it not up here in Canada not even close to what’s privately grown maybe where you’re from but not here that’s why people still buy it off dealers so make sure you know where you’re talking about. Demographically is on saying here in Canada it’s different.

@Carla and I don’t smoke dope and never have so but I know guys that work for me that do it and they don’t buy it from a store

Carla · 61-69, F

@Funlov im sorry...i didnt realize you are from canada. I admit i have no clue what the industry is like there. Just me not yet out of my bubble this morning...
Im in michigan, usa and it is highly regulared here. And, the legal weed quality is superior.

@Carla that’s OK you never have to apologize please I make assumptions all the time it’s all good😉

Carla · 61-69, F

@Funlov that smile is creepy...
Here's another🙂

Funlov · M

@Carla I’m really easy-going everybody got a right to voice their opinion me the only time I ever get pissed off on here is when I see a bully so you’re all good

Carla · 61-69, F

I appreciate that, @Funlov.
