I know a few people that get migraines and they all smoke. The people that smoke the hydroponic shit may as well roll up some fertilizer and smoke it.

So, this business you run....is it going to flourish after November when pot is legalized?

What? Hydroponic is superior in almost every way and there is nothing going in it to classify it as fertilizer.

Smoking used to give me mad headaches.

@erie-dawg said:

Did you ever think the weed was the reason for the migraines?

Where did I imply I was a regular weed smoker? I'm a once or twice a month kind of guy. I've also never had pot give me a headache. Sleep or the vape gets rid of migraines for me and I don't get migraines often.

@the-cysko-kid said:

This was my main point

If I have a migraine I smoke my vape. My dad's pax ploom to be specific. It's also a lot cheaper to take an advil and it's not illegal. Legalize it and more people will use it for pain management.

@the-cysko-kid said:

it's pain relieving properties are way overblown. Taking two advil will relieve pain much more effectively than the best pot in the world.

This was my main point

And dont think anyones saying that getting stoned isnt it's main draw. We get that completely. andknow why most people smoke it ...

I only posted this because you made a blanket statement that said it had no medical value and there is no evidence of that .......so all Im doing is showing you there are mountains of evidence and studies out there......lots and lots and lots...

Either way, If I have a headache, I take aspirin....

As for cancer there's a lot of plants that are shown to have anti cancer effects including many vegetables and fruits such as soursop. marijuana is hardly unique in this respect and is very unlikely to ever produce a cure. Just stop and admit that pot's main draw is getting you high.

BUT....in terminal cases, most agree the side effects dont matter and it has it's place.....

PLUS.....now there is more and more PROOF that it has great benefits in fighting certain cancers.....

Hell... I support full blown legalization for recreational use, because the way I see it the government has no business telling us what we can and cannot consume! Especially if I'm not causing harm to another person! Now, if I smoke a doobie and then go out drive and slide into a family of 6, then you have a case!

No. that's a cop out. YOU cite it.

Dude I really don't care if you believe it or not. I don't want to take the time to post links from my phone, maybe DJ will want to take the time. The research and articles are all over the damn internet. Its why there is such a strong contingent of americans now in support of medicinal legalization. If you care do your own research. I'm not interested in beating my head off a wall and from what I know of you that would occur if I took the time to prove it.

I am truly sorry for your loss. They say that there are qualities in cannabis oil that slows down cancer growth, and may even reverse it! I really hope that we wake the fuck up in this country and end prohibition so that we can allow for further research! Of course Big Pharma will take issue with that, because it pays to keep people sick, and hooked on their crap! As for Advil, I take one on the rare occasion that I get a headache, and that does the trick. I really don't like taking any medication unless I can help it. And finally, as for recreational use of cannabis, I support that too! Who cares? There is way worse stuff out there, and personally I'm not above a couple of tokes myself.

Thank you and I totally agree. My dad started on the oil too late. He was vaping for pain and nausea but we didn't make him the high grade oil until he went right into hospice which is a huge regret of mine. It was helping in hospice to the point that the doctor was in shock but his body was too far gone at that point. It was heads and shoulders better for pain management that anything my dad could use, he would have told you or anyone else the same.. I'm a huge advocate. Ohio is getting close.
