Should I go get munchies?

It's raining. I'm tired, lil sick. But I'm toasted.

Toasting reduces your body's defence

@MartinTheFirst lol who told you that? Or did you make it up yourself?

[quote]The correct answer to this question? No one really knows, it’s complicated, and it depends. Preclinical research has found that cannabis can suppress the immune system. It does this by decreasing inflammation, which is the body’s natural response to infection.

While inflammation has a bad reputation, no human would be able to survive without it. Inflammation helps trap and isolate damaged parts of the body, preventing the spread of infection. Decreasing inflammation when it is needed can potentially worsen infection or injury.[/quote]

@StokedFox This is the way your body handles immunity breaches. The bad symptoms you get from a cold, is actually your immunity system making it inhospitable for the bacteria. It is needed, and smoking weed reduces these effects, hence hindering your immune system's actions.

@MartinTheFirst I seriously doubt the amount of weed I have smoked in the past four days would hinder my recovery. I'm recovering pretty quickly actually which I attribute to my healthy diet and lifestyle. You've changed Martin. You're not nice anymore.

@StokedFox I'm not nice because I say things you disagree with...?
StokedFox · 36-40, F
@MartinTheFirst no because you're cold. I never need to agree with anyone. It's you that feels the need to disagree. Are you bipolar?

@StokedFox what even....

@StokedFox I've been high myself, I know what it's like... You get a bit emotional and such from it, so I'll just leave and we can talk later if you want to...

@MartinTheFirst your perspective is interesting but do not pretend you understand how bad it could be for me if I wasn't able to use medical marijuana. Which I am prescribed by an actual doctor. Thank you for at least being nicer.
