[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smoking anything isn't "normal". It may be more common now than it used to be, but it's not a 'normal' thing to put in your body. Long-term cannabis use will lead to withdrawal symptoms (yes, even from your "gummy"). Most people don't even know what to look for, but there are GI issues, cardiovascular issues, neurotransmitter issues...[/quote]

This is so tiresome because it's absolutely false.

I am the poster above who said that I take a gummy and it helps me with sleep and back pain. The alternative is to inject a steroid into my back every three months, causing bone loss or take opioids. Sure, it makes you feel better because a doctor prescribed it, but I can guarantee that both of those are worse than taking a gummy.

This non-logic take is so tiresome because it's uneducated crap. Your "gummy" works, sure. If it didn't do something useful, nobody would buy them. Thing is, if you're taking a nightly "gummy", you're developing a tolerance. Pretty soon 5mg won't cut it, and you'll go up to 10mg/2 'gummies', whatever. And then that won't work so it'll be 15. And then you'll need to stop, probably for something simple like dental work or travel, and you'll flip the eff out because your system, which is now habituated to THC/cannabinoid use, won't have its daily dose. It will be then, when you've got fullblown withdrawal symptoms, that you'll remember that annoying post on the forum that tried to warn your obstinate ass about the side-effects of regular cannabis use (which are proven, btw; this is information you could look up, if you wanted it).

-lifelong cripple who has taken probably all the pain meds you can name, none of which were without side effects and consequences (but go off)[/quote]

“Full blown withdrawal symptoms” meaning a background craving similar to how I feel about chocolate cake or eating meat? Oh nooooo what ever shall I do? [/quote]

Don’t try to convince that fool. He/she thinks that just because big pharma sold him something, it has to be so much better. [/quote]
