Buddies who were on opiates and now use pot for PTSD eat better sleep better and are nicer people because of Cannabis.

I believe benefits outweigh risks. Besides, if this study is correct, then I’m screwed six ways from Sunday anyway - even with a 25-year hiatus. Interesting timing for this article, with legalization on the ballot in some states.

As my dear, departed best friend told me, "You know, 2na, something has to kill me."



That shit keeps me sane, though I probably could cut back some, I have a busy winter ahead.

- you will have a significant risk of heart attack / failure. Same if you vape. Any thing you breathe into your lungs besides clear air reduces the amount of oxygen per breath which deprives your entire body of this essential element. Your circulatory system must work harder to take in the required amount of oxygen and exhaust the offending substance from your system.

Gummies? Brownies? whatever other methods there are. I don't know much about it yet, but now that I'm retired I plan on finding out. Got a trip to Washington planned...it's legal there.

I haven't seen either of the studies. AHA recommendations only seem to address smoking and vaping, according to CNN:

even inhaling air pollution can do this

I already feel like an old man.

I first smoked pot when I was 15 in 1961. After all these years, it's still the safest (& legal here) way to raise your consciousness.

I use a palm sized dry-herb vaporizer, so it's just plain old bud that's heated, but not combusted.
Temp range is 350F to 420F and I also run it through a water piece to cool the vapor.

This uses much less bud, the smell doesn't linger as much, and it produces the same effect.

I tend to prefer movies to bike rides. Though i do like a nice walk in the woods. Except for the damn ticks. Hate those things.
