Cranky And Down Without Nicotine?

[olkofri]

Yes, as much as I like alcohol can’t say it has any medicinal benefit.

I do say it does. I and know it.

and what might that be?

Yes, as much as I like alcohol can’t say it has any medicinal benefit. My Mom has been on OxyContin for some cancer related issues for 10+ years, only can imagine that cannabis could of had a more beneficial effect without all the potential pitfalls.

certainly even if it just helped her lower her oxy use a bit. And as I've said before I could use marijuana everyday for a year and still function with a full cold stop. You know unlike coffee.

anything that can calm a person or remove pain has medicinal properties. Doesn't mean the side effects don't dramatically out weigh it in most cases. It's a blood thinner too. For example look into Zack Wyldes medical history (sorry if I misspelled his name, seems like a nice talented guy to some extent)

Yes well, it was probably an overstatement on my part, but the benefits seem to decrease with the amount consumed and since tolerance builds it’s a slippery slope.

Yes, that’s because coffee and sugar are physically addictive but marijuana isn’t but I’m sure you know that.

Guess @anotherbob beat me to it. Thanks mate, now I don't have to elucidate beyond Proverbs 31:6.

Wish I lived in a state with a comprehensive medicinal marijuana program...doesn’t seem like with the state of the world now any legislation will be coming through anytime soon.

My Mom has very bad neuropathy, really drives her crazy. Have you tried the Topicin cream? Ha sorry given her a little relief.

I have tried everything for the neuropathy, they had me on that gabapentin crap at the highest dose available 3 times a day. I lit up some Indica as that was what was recommended and in 5 freaking minutes the pain was gone. Now the numbness never goes away but I can deal with it. I am not comfortable driving not feeling my feet but the weed was a blessing as neuropathy pain is awful.

I have much milder neuropathy and neck issues for which I usually do physical therapy for at least a few months of the year. With being on lockdown here for a few weeks, I indulged for the first time in years for a few days. It was extremely useful. I was able to do some stretches and massages on myself which still have me feeling better. Good thing, since the physical therapy unit isn't open yet. Back to work in a week or two, so back to being Mr. Clean.

You know it’s honestly ridiculous that it’s federally illegal yet you can go buy a bottle of liquor and kill yourself.

Or be in pain and go to the doctor where they will prescribe you a variant of heroin.

 

[Chasing Embers]

He is good as he will prescribe all the Ativan I need which is a lot as I am dealing with some intense pressure due to virus but I still can't get any Secanol off him. That used to be the best at getting me to sleep as I have insomnia real bad for over 40 years. Secanol just recently came back on the market. I have been on Seroquel for years as it is both an anti psychotic which I am sure you can confirm I need, but it is also great for sleep. Problem for me is I am at highest does they can use. I really need a break from the Seroquel to hopefully re start it. He also gives me a low dose(15mg) of Remeron to go with Seroquel. What I take for sleep would put most humans into a coma and they ain't waking up.
I have taken I think every sleep drug out there. Stuff like Ambien doesn't work even at high doses. All it does is make you eat while you are blacked out. It is also a benzo so it is addicting. I was on Trazadone for a number of years but even at highest does it stopped working. I could go days with out sleeping and it would drive me crazy. My Neurologist hooked me up with a medicinal weed doctor and while it does help with my severe neuropathy it does nothing for sleep. I have tried their oils but my lungs cannot take that stuff.

I do have some real good doctors who care what happens to me and they are always willing to try things out of the box. It sucks getting old especially with a body that has been used and abused. My last sports related injury was to get bone spusr surgically removed off my right heel. All of my doctors told me to stop playing tennis but I wouldn't even consider it even when they told me they would have to fuse my back after the first 2 surgeries. My family was pissed at me as after the spinal fusion with all kinds of metal in me turned me into an invalid. They actually had the balls to tell me they needed to fuse my neck. I have severe stenosis throughout my body and there is nothing they can do but fuse bones together as they become useless. I had discs that had turned to jello and was bone to bone in y spine.

As shitty as it is not being able play the sport I love, I am really grateful for all the good things in my life.4 children ages 18-30 doing great. My oldest daughter just finished 4th in a class of 65 in her first year of law school and is clerking for a judge. My youngest son is killing it with a huge freight company that is busy as usual, my oldest son is in Cali working with a company that focuses on children and while he won't get rich he loves his job, and my 18 year old daughter is graduating h.s and is looking at options for work.

I am real close with them all and they are real close with each other. It makes me proud they are all good citizens who know what empathy and compassion mean. I told them early and often, only 2 kinds of people in this world, the givers and the takers and from my experience the givers lead much better lives.

I'm lucky to have found mine. She's stern as hell but has accepted the fact that my pipe is going nowhere.?

Well based on the depiction of hermits on film and tv they are closer to the average age of posters here so you still have maybe 20 years to to fulfill your dreams...

My family's average expiration date is only 15-20 years away. I need to start making up for lost time.

Have surpassed all males in my family already so plan accordingly.

You’re not known to be sardonic don’t start now...

 

[gamzultovah]

These things are eerily used to people. I had one take a Twinkie from my hand a few days ago, and eat it next to me while I was smoking.

Sounds like a rough neighborhood...

Already showing signs of decline.

None implied, just being realistic.

I got married, damage done.

Really, 60-70 is as long as I would want. Rising health costs, taxes, bills, I think that's long enough to deal with all of that noise and pass off the baton to the kids.
