[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI occasional gummies work better. There are some for insomnia and some for anxiety. [/quote]

FYI "gummies" have addictive potential and a host of side effects. Arguably, they're even less safe than benzos; at least benzos are regulated and you know what you're getting. [/quote]

Its insane to me that we are not regulating pot because it can 1000 percent be beneficial for many. [/quote]

To a point, under certain circumstances, used carefully and short-term, maybe. What's really insane is how little we know about the long-term impact of steady THC use, and how little is said about the downsides and dangers of cannabis use.[/quote]

It’s also been very helpful to a lot of people. Certain people will abuse anything and develop an addiction. Food is one of the main ones in this country. But we study it and make recommendations based on data. A lot of the stigma around THC is just propaganda and “say no to drugs,” but in reality we have very little empirical data. [/quote]

Unfortunately, unlike benzos and other drugs, we've got both the reefer madness/just say no propaganda AND an actual lack of science to explain the GI issues, cannabis-induced psychosis, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and legitimate addictive potential linked to cannabis. We've also got strains bred for crazy-high THC, and concentrates, waxes, shatters that will literally blow your mind in a puff or two. And don't neglect the addictive potential of methods like vapes. At least if you have to get off your ass and go smoke outside, there's some limit (especially in the winter), but you can vape basically anywhere, anytime.

Mention any of that, and some crusty old pothead and/or some newfangled gummiemuncher is going to jump right down your throat with the whole 'It's just weed!" nonsense. Cannabis users are taking a lot more risks than they know, and getting support and help if you get yourself in trouble is a lot harder than getting help with alcohol, benzos, opiates, etc.[/quote]

There is a grain of truth with a whole lot of nonsense in your post. [/quote]
