Marijuana is not meant to be used to smoke, It is a medicinal herb that is meant to be used for making Tea and easing the pain of joints like Arthritis. Smoking the herb will bring a secondary effect such as Paranoia, Anxiety & Depression.
Er... that's not true. Like I'm not going to be one of those "potheads" but like I stated with glaucoma you pretty much have the same positive effect of eye pressure reduction regardless of how you ingest it. It doesn't work for everyone but this is because glaucoma has several possible vectors, and MJ doesn't really address them. Honestly, MJ should be a supplement to treatment, not a replacement for one, and most people who use it medicinally consider it more of a stress reliever than just an actual medical treatment. Which is fine in my opinion.
Smoking is honestly not preferable if you have access to vapes though, because the smoke is harsh and it can harm your lungs for pretty much the fact that it's smoke.
Eating food made with medicated butter such as infamous "pot brownies" tend to take people by surprise because the effect takes a while to actually hold. Nonetheless, they're relatively harmless, but people are idiots and eat like 20 of them when they should only be eating like 1.
The latter effects do happen but like Kanzler said different strains have different amounts. It really depends on what you're smoking and what situation you're in. In most cases paranoia can be avoided if you are comfortable with your surroundings, which is why I pretty much hate any ******* who tries to push marijuana on their friends. Just use it in moderation and don't use it somewhere stupid like downtown and you'll be fine.
Marijuana does not cure cancer or anything else like these so called ''potheads'' say. the reason they want it legalized and why a lot of people take it is because they like the high and that is it, yes there are people that take it to ease their pain by smoking it but as I said before that is the wrong way to take it because smoking Marijuana is very bad for your Mental Health.
Again, that depends a lot on the person who's using it. I would say personally that it improves my mental health by allowing me to have a full night sleep and calming down my almost unmanageable anxiety. It also helps me ease into more social enviorments which is something I have tremendous difficulty with. If I said that there was a downfall it would be that if I use it too much its helpfulness wanes but it's decent for getting across spurts of anxiety. In addition, for me at least, it's pretty easy to stop doing it, even after pretty heavy use. I was smoking medical grade several times a day a few months back but when I ran out, even though I wanted to have more, I had no access to it and was forced to stop. Outside of a craving similar to craving chocolate or candy I really had no withdrawal symptoms.
Again, these things change from person to person. People with addictive personalities are more likely to fall into pitfalls than others.
If you also buy Marijuana from Drug Dealers then it will more than likely be infused with something else than if you would of got the herb from a natural source from mother nature herself.
Hey, this isn't actually true.
Like, at all. It's completely unprofitable for any drug dealer to do this - many drugs like acid completely lose their effect if burned, and others like cocaine, heroin or DDT are just too expensive for this to actually be a profitable choice. I've heard of a very few scant cases where marijuana is infused with cocaine to try to hook people onto a dealer, but again this is too expensive to really rear a profit, and it won't really hook people as quickly as one would want. To put in comparison, these drugs can literally be 2-3 times more expensive than MJ for a dose with a similarly powerful effect.
I've heard of people mixing drugs in their own time and that's dangerous since MJ can reduce your ability to judge how much you've taken and I would never ever recommend it - even though I've popped a beer while high once or twice - because it does impair your judgement. But it's simply not a good business decision on the dealer's part to mix drugs with such different price values.
And no, before you say anything, I'm not one of those "stupid potheads", I just manage a ton of **** in my life as an adult. Believe me, those idiots who say it cures everything from cancer to ebola are just as annoying as they sound. The reality is that pot should be legal because it is not measurably significantly more harmful than cigarettes or alcohol, and the stigma against it is mainly cultural and not based in any significant evidence, unlike drugs like heroin or cocaine. It's our responsibility to choose what to do with our lives - even if it is harmful in some way, we are given the choice to harm our bodies in other ways with cigarettes and alcohol, the latter of which can easily kill you with an overdose - so why is it that something else comparable is illegal?
