Cosmic Queries - Pot Luck with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Dr. Staci Gruber

[@StarTalk]

Have you used cannabis as a medical intervention?

[@AlchemicalAudio]

What is the research of eating cannabis flower whole without extraction? After a decarb process? Effectively, just decarboxylate the plant material, eat the entire bud, and let the body do the extraction process. Seems more holistic than smoking or extracting. Within the context of severe pain management.

“Holy smoke”

[@UltraK420]

I use it to treat anxiety, insomnia, GERD, pain, and I also use it for weight control, to control cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, to reduce inflammation, nausea, to reduce risk of dementia when I get old, and to protect my cells from the covid variants. I also use it to get high because it's nontoxic and I never get addicted to it. Cannabis combined with medicinal mushrooms and a healthy diet is the ultimate strategy to prevent disease and live longer. There's other plants that have amazing benefits but cannabis just does so much more. I'm doing this in my 30s because I plan to live as long as possible and hopefully receive the treatment to slow or reverse aging if it becomes available in my lifetime, then I'll hopefully be able to keep extending my lifespan and experience the distant future. Doesn't seem extremely likely for this to happen but it's certainly more likely than at any other time in history.

[@-Ncrypt]

@@UltraK420 Most people don't get addicted to it, but I did. I'm guessing I was using it too much, every other hour I would inhale, and it became difficult to stop when I needed to after seeing it affect my life and relationships with others, in the sense that I couldn't do anything or have fun without being high. The detox wasn't horrible, but I didn't feel mentally well, had quite a bit of irritability, and felt some physical symptoms such as akathisia and diarrhea. It certainly didn't do anything for my high blood pressure and GERD. May I ask how you ingest it and at what frequency?

[@jeromegarcia5396]

@@-Ncrypt there's different types of cannabis, indica, sativa, and ruderalis. Then you have hybrid mixes with all three strains. Add the different ways of cannabis use, smoking, eating o topical you have a good understanding there's a possibility you haven't found what works for you... Tho addiction to cannabis is a thing I guess, that's actually not an issue given the addiction to whatever symptoms one my have, as those are far more greater a problem than addiction to a plant without health risk other than addiction.. I'd, try all forms if I were you, don't write it off, cannabis won't destroy your physical health no matter how much you use, sometimes you have to find what works, which is why I grow and advocate, I know what works for me now after decades of trying everything...

My dad grew weed, lots of weed. It wasn't all his, other people paid him to grow theirs. He went to prison a couple times for it but he believed it should be legal and everyone should have access to it, also arrested a few times at demonstrations for legalizing weed in three different provinces. He died in 2003, weed was legalized in 2018 in Canada, it was something he wanted to see himself. I'm gonna smoke a joint in his memory now. RIP Pop.

I worked in the cannabis industry for 10 years. Started on the sales floor, then moved out to the farm, and then into the marketing department. Helping people who had given up on traditional medicine was the most rewarding part for me. I helped a PTSD vet with a sleep disorder. She moved from Texas to California just to access cannabis. It was amazing to see her transformation. So many people came through our doors with debilitating diseases and found relief in cannabis. My mother had Alzheimer's; I made some low-dose spice cookies that kept her from wondering at night. In the morning she would wake up with a healthy appetite. I believe it extended both her life and her quality of life.

[@hookedonherbs3825]

The answer to Neil’s question is a resounding yes! In 2016 I rejected what medicine had to offer me for 5 autoimmune and unrelenting pain. I envied the dead and mourned my waking each morning. I live In Idaho and at 58 when I first tried cannabis in form of FECO out of sheer desperation and found it helpful but traveling to Oregon when i was in the middle of an inflammatory event, was a huge challenge. Things like prickly lettuce, and many different herbs used topical have been amazing for me. I believe based on what has finally worked for me that my vagus nerves was damaged during a double mastectomy . Multiple symptoms in next 12 hours suggest something bad happened to my vagus nerve but in 2001 I don’t know that my doctors knew what it was as they never found reason for gaining 26 pounds over night in the hospital going from size 8 pants to size 18, when I was too sick and power vomiting for hours to even eat. Over time inflammatory event on top of inflammatory event gaining 10-30 pounds in a 24 hr period left me at size 28 pants probably 270-280 I tossed scale at 250 size 24 or 3xxx pants. Thanks to a multitude of plant and mushroom experiments starting low going slow and tracking changes. I have learned to manually do what vagus nerve should do with manipulations, vibration, breathing, and many herbs. I am now 140. Size 6 pants. It requires 3-5 hours of physical theories every day and incorporating many things like humming tapping use of heat pads, layering of clothes to maintain body stability. Many adaptogenicgenic, mushrooms, and herbs are absolutely amazing in their support of my body. In 2016 when I gave up on medicine after 15 years of pure torture I was never under a 7 and daily off the pain chart. (My labor without meds is a 7 on my scale). I now have pain free periods most days, and some pain free days. Plants are amazing and I am totally hooked on herbs. Thank gosh for pub med but information on herbs is still very limited. We need a department of natural medicine to help better research, understand and educate the public about herbs and natural medicines and therapies. Thanks for distracting me from pain and encouraging scientific Experimentation over these years.

On a personal note I have committed myself to letting people know how medical cannibus works for me & the evidence of it being used to help others throughout history. The dr was correct on it being used for thousands of years for healing. I know this because if one takes time to research the history and why it was originally made illegal, one will discover it was made by the same people who are throwing our world upside down right now. I have a video saved in my medical cannibus & PD video playlist for ones who want to know the truth. Heres a fun fact though.

Sometimes a hybrid if my off day sets in. I dont want too much sedation effects (.ie couch lock) but have some pain relief 50/50 hybrid. Hope that helps.

Don't know if u meant macro or micro, but macrososing leads to less high and more tolerance and if ur smoking... that is a lot of smoke just saying. My version of macrodosing is being in a sober state, like teeth extractions and u can't smoke sober, then maintain high that is bigger then when u had any tolerance and sustain from there. Some people with no tolerance can smoke a lot naturally or some get high faster and there's no way to tell. That being said if u do this, then even the small amounts for let's say the lightweights everyday is their MACRO dose to the self

Great topic, reading the comments makes me reflect upon my experience. I tried both Sativa & Indica, didn’t like Sativa that much, mind got too excited after taking 2 gummys. I used Indica mints to help with my sleep for about 6 months, really saw improvements during the 1st couple of months, but the dryness of my mouth & sensation of feeling my stomach & getting hungry before sleep, got worse & I really didn’t like it, so I quit basically at the end. Once quit, getting back to sleep naturally was a bit hard, I’d toss & turn for a few hours, listen to some music, then eyes got tired but mind still awake, but after few weeks of adjustments, it’d get better. I only liked the part that before the Indica effects fully kicks in, I can feel the mind & body “sinking”, that’s when I know it’s started, & I’d explore my mind for the next 30 mins to think about the things in life that I normally can’t figure out when sober… LOL it helped solve a lot of my questions in life, the mind just ran on its own, so fast & visual/graphic of the logic process, I had trouble tracing back the memory of how the logic flows basically, that’s the cool part I liked, but it’d last only for a while before “sinking” deeper to sleepiness…
