Medical Marijuana needs to be legalized in all States! I’d gladly smoke pot opposed to all the damn pills the doctors have me on!

[@larrytate1657]

Why? Smoking is very unhealthy, much less healthy than taking a pill with a glass of water. If anything a thc CBD edible or pill I could see.

[@gabrielbarry4441]

@@larrytate1657 Most medical cannabis thats prescribed are in pill or edible form. It’s not common for prescription cannabis to be smoked.

I know right! In the long run these medications will take a toll on your body.

"10mg, that's a big dose!" 😂 Sure it'll get a naive user high, but it's nowhere near a "big dose".

[@itiswhatitis1623]

I'd say 100 mg is a pretty normal dose haha

Shitttt I got 200 MG peach ring eddies rn

[@luvtooth]

@@itiswhatitis1623 yeah man, 100mg eddys get me feeling right, but i just started adderall today so i’m a little hesitant to smoke or eat edibles

[@nahcuz710]

Fr think about other perscribed medications. For instance divalproex sodium brandname Depakote for seizures and mood disorders. A 500mg pill is considered a low dose as people can take up to 1500 mgs daily as perscribed

[@jenniferdouglas5511]

Legalize it!

[@Tbtbtbqq]

It should not be illegal . It causes so much mental health issues. I used to be addicted to it. It fucked me head up. Have you not noticed how since it’s been more popular there’s more insane people it causes serious mental health issues making everyone lazy hopefully you don’t have the same opinion five years later

[@scottcarlson1898]

Dr. Goldstein is one of the best MD's in the world in the medical use of cannabis. All her videos on KZbin are great. She currently has a year waiting list to see her mainly made up of kids with seizure disorders and autism.

I'm not totally sure, but after taking Lumbrokinase, nattokinase and serrapeptase... I found that the effects of MJ are very much enhanced.... in my case... too much... any thoughts?

does anyone know if Lamictal & cbd mix well together? thank you if someone can enlighten me on this!

[@AustinLnX]

I have never been on Lamictal, but if it's similar at all to gabapentin it shouldn't be much of an issue. CBD doesn't give any sort of high but CBD can increase the amount of the certain drugs in the blood or keep them in your system longer. Though, unless the side effects of the medicine itself is severe CBD shouldn't have any reactions.

[@NTiviSTS]

@@AustinLnX thank you so much for the reply :)

[@solomonherskowitz]

Listening to this thing a few hours after surgery high on 110 mg of edibles and more Percocets cuz I was going on the nurses nurves that I need more n I'm having a good time. So take that for what it's worth

[@ezioassassain]

[@davs6745]

I know it’s a couple years too late, but it’s always worth a try. klonopin is a horrible substance to become dependent on; however, make sure you taper off slowly as it can result in horrible withdrawal symptoms if you do not.

[@stephanieparido3790]

dosing is a big prob I could never get it right I did like some of the topicals for all my illnesses I was told $300-$500 a month unfort I couldn't do that and just stick with norco

[@lightisgreaterthandarkness]

stephanie parido Be careful with Norco, the acetaminophen(Tylenol) in it severely depletes glutathione in your liver. You should talk with your dr about switching over to something like Dilaudid which does not have anything but the opioid in it. Dilaudid is what I take everyday and it's the one painkiller that actually LASTS THE ENTIRE 4-5 hours! With Norco, Percocet and Roxycodone I was always back in pain at around the 2.5-3 hour mark. Dilaudid seems to works stronger on my nerve pain issues as well. Being 8 times stronger than morphine it BETTER work perfect LOL!

[@stephanieparido3790]

Dilaudid on a reg basis I think not I couldn't function I stick with norco cause it gives me energy and lets me get up I go to pain mgmnt not worried about it
