A lot of over-eating is boredom eating, especially in the evening and on weekends. If you are occupying that down time in your life with pot vs food I guess I can see how it would make you eat less, but I don’t think that makes it inherently healthier.
I think time will tell, but IMHO some of the nearly 400 compounds will be found to be “hazardous” in large quantities, and others will prove to be lifesavers, for those with health issues they can solve. (like those compounds which have been isolated from THC which helps with epileptic seizures in children, when nothing else seems to work)
Moderation in all things, including the plants.
Speaking to mental health clinicians there is an increasing amount of evidence linking smoking pot to mental illness including schizophrenia in later life.
Of course it all depends on the volume. 1 joint usually isn’t going to send you permanently off any more than 1 cigarette will kill you or one beer will.
I’ve seen heavy users and how they function and I wouldn’t call that healthy in any way and in a practical sense, inhaling the smoke from any burning substance into your lungs cannot be considered to be good for you.
disclaimer. I smoke tobacco and have smoked pot before and I like the (very) occasional joint.
Ethelrist, you are all crazy.
congoo, u remind me of me. I smoke
dope, don’t use caps unless accidently,
And phrase things obtusely and
have to work at it to stay more concise,
Not that I make claims of conciseness.
Asking if cannabis is healthy…
Smokin ain’t, pretty period, I think.
Many of the compounds found
With cannabis seem to be medicinal,
And there are some strongly
Encouraging reports to be seen here
And there.
Here’s another take-
The seed is mostly fat and protein.
The protein is the most easily digestable
Protein there is for humans, meaning
That even for sick, young or old, its the most
Efficient meal a human can eat, least for
Protein and fat.
If you go on YouTube and look at some industrial livestock
Videos, PETA has some, u get an idea
Of the suffering that can be eliminated,
And the fuel potential in the fat beats
Holy shit out of corn alchohol, and you
Get green diesel, which don’t Fuck
Your engine or mileage.
Back to the food though-
Really take a look at those vids.
Ask yerself, and just Fuck u aheada time,
Any cool cynic wanna get smartass
About a person desiring to make
Better what can be made better,
Ask yerself if any species that
Allows the shit we do to eat easy,
Look pretty, and otherwise feel good
Is going anywhere good.
You really are all crazy e, just
Gotta look close enough.
In fairness, gotta say I’m on
Disability for p sykosises, smoke all the
Dope I can and do not function as well
As I’d like. However, there is a grain
Of truth to what u say, congoo.
Stigmatization of any given
Activity, seems to me, makes for
Worse consequences than a
More thought-out, non-stigmatizing
Approach. Ymmv.

All cool r some shit.
yes you can write like me ,but better.that was easy on the eyes
but really i am only concerned about the grain of truth in what i say.
Meh, if it was legal you’d probably just be getting paranoid over some other issue.
Also, in regards to the obesity/weed study, couldn’t it be that obese folks just choose to stop smoking weed because of obvious reasons, or that people that smoke regularly are more likely to go without food in order to get their next dimebag?
exactly .the fear of death or issues around strange feeling thoughts/about body.
this is normal.and is not paranoa.that is the point the law creates paranoa and other stuff is fear which is not such a bad thing really.
paranoa leads to illiusions about whats going on ,ones that are not nice as much as you might try and make them ok.that illiusion is being caused by the law.with out the law it will fall away and there will be fear.
You must remmeber there is a difference between paranoa and fear.
i was just going out and i thought wait
o’rion
what is the grain of truth i speak please tell me.
The main point I pulled from …
I gotta say it. Yer either a good faker
fakin for some reason, or you’re on
yer way to heavy-duty crazy…
Back to the matter at hand-
Big thing I got was that certain things we do, generally
here where you’re more specific,
Some of the ways we handle things,
make for inner conflict. Them certain things
n ways don’t get changed, so there
is no relief, but there is escalation of the
inner conflict, which can get debilitating.
Kind of and incompletely, and probably
puttin a word r two in yer mouth.
No, of course not! No one even suggests pot does that! That would be LSD!
r thats not what i hoped for.
yea and i,m saying one of those things is caused by the law.
and whats this all about because i cant spell or write correct i,m going to go really nuts.why would i fake bad spelling writting.
or are you saying something else.
i mean i thought perhaps your faking your writting skills but so what your not crazy because of that.
Somehow, I don’t think these dudes are helping the cause.
and so if u would, dude, sit right down
and show show show me how your
comment, in addition to miles of quote,
which, thanks, always nice to read the same
thing over n over, does help ‘the cause’,
which I assume in this instance is weed
legalization.
Least of what I was talkin about, if so.
but you know, whatever.
No, quite the opposite.
Funny how people can share a huge amount of the
exact same body of opinion on a given matter and still
end up in opposition.
Excellent argument there, tho.
Being irrationally fearful about death or anything else is not what I would consider healthy.
I cant really argue with that.
Iwould argue that paranoia is worse because it is not as constructive.I do learn something, it seems when i am fearful of death on cannabis even though i would rather have good experience.
Paranoia can only be constructive in as much as you might stop using cannabis because you think the police will catch you or stigmatization.but the police catching you is most of the time unlikely,and stigmatization is caused by the law so its the same thing i think.
my main point is the law(or religion, devil stuff) is causing the paranoia.
if someone choices to take cannabis then some people will experience intense fear,this is there choice.to stop if they can not take it the fear.or want it.
The only thing the law has on its side is.IT can say if someone use,s NHS becasue the fear is so great THEY have to visit it, then this is tax payers money.but it can not in my theory confuse this with paranoia and worse things that lead on from this and say we shouldnt take cannabis cause it cause,s paranoia .because it doesnt the law cause,s paranoia
the law blames cannibis for health issues it cause,s .
IF I Choose TO take cannabis and it gives me fear but i carry on anyway and get ill from this ,i shouldnt use NHS to help me. This way as long as i am not trying to hurt other people,IS my right and has nothing to do with goverment.
Here’s a recent study on the subject with some surprising results:

There r people like me in this discussion, heavy on one side n way biased, and there are my opposites.
Informed, nonrabid persons like yourself are what’s needed more of, if that’s a sentence.
Even if its not though. Yay nonrabid people!
