I love as this news spread, all the "but i need it for my pain/depression/etc/etc!, its the only thing that helps!" types are now just straight up basically saying they don't give a fuck about anything it does but the high.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Just like I know the type of responses I'm gonna get from the outed potheads and addicts.
Yeah... Maybe they like getting high too. What's the problem? The only issue I see with cannabis is that people smoke it.
Potheads and addicts? Holy shit, is it still 1990 and you’ve got some weird fucking prejudice against how other people choose to spend their time or how they medicate themselves? Oh boy…
You invite the circus when you put the clown mask on.
I dont care what you do in your own home.
But potheads, like vegans, cant just contain it to their own home and shut up about it. They gotta make sure everyone, everywhere, in every fucking conversation, knows about what they do.
And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is "NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH", which is exactly what addicts would say.
You are the one who brought up vegens in a conversation about pot. But sure, keep telling that yourself.
What kind of naïve person makes grandiose claims of others, while also unfairly aggregating them to the grouping of your own subjective, unflattering, and inaccurate images of them? You’re basically inventing these people, potheads and vegan, to make a dumb point about how some people like to talk about their personal choices a lot. Whoopty doo, you dweeb.
You know what’s funny? Aside from the fact that I’m mentioning it now, I consume a grotesque volume of cannabis. Truly grotesque, I promise more than whatever you’re thinking. I don’t bring it up, though, ever. Why? Because I’m an actual human being, as opposed to whatever fantasy you’ve got going on up there.
No it’s not. Please, for the love of god, do good research and get that stuff. That’s great for children, people who don’t want to be high, and people who can’t be high (e.g., on the clock) but still need the medicine.
I still want to get high, though. There’s nothing wrong with that. The issue is with you, if you have a problem with that.
sure buddy.
Well, at least your username checks out...
Sure buddy.
Never met someone smoking weed who acts like a militant vegan about it.
Used one without the high. Worked beautifully. Too expensive in the long run. But really appreciated it. Dont want the high at all. It had no side effects. Just gentle pain relief. Bliss.
@Timonesaysno I love the high from cannabis, but that doesn’t mean that I want it necessarily in all situations. Like for instance, on Friday night I randomly got nauseous, and the only thing I had was my THC vape. Well, I didn’t care, because we were having fun anyway, I may not have been able to get away with that is easily outside of a chill situation, such as a softball game, which is where I was last night.
Rage bait.
If I'm in chronic pain then I'm going to want to be high too. Nothing wrong with being high in your own house.
-I don't even like weed. The high just feels like taking benedryl to me.
It would be better to have both as an option.
