Re: Mary Jane and its effects from a modern view

2-3 WEEKS on end( wake and bakes,doobie snacks, bowls, bongs, zongs, chillams, one jammers, radiators, blunts Glass and paper and steam rollers) with a day or two in between . (mostly in the winter when there isnt much to do) But i have found that it works the best for immediate treatment , in "MY" opinion i believe it is everyones reaction and the kind of weed because trust me it is very different in all the forms that it comes in because of the THC. For the reaction part i have met a large amount of people that get paranoia that leads to panic attacks and so on. and others it makes them very incoherent and quit frankly stupid, for me i really havn't seen a negative effect and i have been doing it since i was 17 NON-STOP. now when it comes to the different kinds..... you can get the higher (more expensive) type I.E. Dank, Crystal, Sticky, red hairs, Frost, northern lights, raspberry cough, BUDS and so on. the reason for the THC level is the way that it is grown (i don't but hear the tricks) When it is grown inside under constant light with chemicals to enhance the THC level, it has a much higher effect with the least amount consumed. then with the stuff that is grown outside in the yard I.E. Ditch, Skunk, Mids (middle of the stem of the plant, both the good and bad kind have it) and so on; contain a much lower level of THC because they dont contain any forms of buds or hairs unlike the others so they have a much different effect and it takes a considerably larger amount to get you as high as the good kind
. so remember its the person and the kind so do not judge unless you have experienced it all.
Re: Marijuana and Seizures
Submitted by california101 on Thu, 2009-01-29 - 12:09
In the last month I have smoked marijuana occasionally about 15 times and nothing bad happened. Im on seizure medication but havent had a serious seizure in almost 4 years. However if I were to go off the meds I definitely would have one. They use to mostly happen at night while I slept. I found that marijuana just calmed me down and made me laugh. The other day I was put on Septra in order to treat a bladder infection. I felt all day like I was gonna have one but I ignored my jumpy wired syptoms and smoked anyway. I immediately had my heart start racing and went into having partial seizures. I had smoked the same weed a couple days before I was on the antibiotic and I was FINE like normal. It turns out the side effects of Septra are seizures, hallucinations, and nervousness. I wanna believe Septra was just a bad combo in my system because Im a seizure patient and the weed just pushed it over the edge!! But now Im worried that when I am antibiotic free and I smoke again like normal I may have another seizure. I like the effects marijuana usually provides but now im scared! I believe it was just the antibiotic and I might of had one anyway but now Im just doubting my decision to smoke!! When I normally smoke I never have become super paranoid or anything. The doctor apparently didn't know the side effects of Septra was seizures and he was giving this to someone on seizure meds
Wouldnt I have known already if marijuana was going to adversely effect me under normal conditions???

I heard many disputes

I heard many disputes related to medical use for marijuana. To be honest with you I don't really agree with its use this way or in any other way. Marijuana is a drug that can easily create addiction and I know what addiction means, I just passed through a methadone detox not long ago and in my experience it's better to keep such drugs as far as possible.
