The many faces of Mary Jane-- +Rep

Hey people

Just wanted to start a thread for all the different things marijuana is used for. Not just getting high (as great as that is) it does do so much more... I already know its used for cancer patients, glaucoma, and certain mood disorders as well...but personally, I'm sure I don't know everything it can be used for, so please chime in with your own experiences.

for myself personally, it helps with pain nd nausia (obviously) but also cures my hick-ups! I know you may think -- smoking doesn't-- it's the holding your breath part that does-- but I dissagree, I've held my breath for long periods of time, drank loads of water, stood on my head and countless other "cures" but a fat toke from my bong cures the hickups no problem lol...

I've always wondered about using some sort of cannabis plant extract and making stuff like face masks and body lotions etc... I wonder if it would have a positive effect?... I know many tanners/bronzers have 'hemp seed/oil' in them... hhmm

it may be something to try.... lol sorry for the rambling, wake and bake is a beautiful thing... hehe

Please post your own ramblings!
Thanx RIU you rock!

I'm pretty sure you can find something positive about every single part of the plant. Kind of like how indians wouldn't kill an animal unless they could use every part of the animal. Same concept just in a different way I suppose?

It cures my boredom. I'm a night toker. And a social toker. But I dont know what else I use it to make shit..besides getting high.
lol

lol fair enough

I have severe rage, pretty much everything pisses me off. Thats why I smoke all the time. I find it impossible to get angry at things that normally get under my skin. Everyone I know notices this, but now I need to convince the state that this is a good solution to rage and anger versus those useless anger management classes they preach (I've been, they are useless.) That qualifies as a mood disorder does it not?

it can be used to make a nice little pot hat XD :Weed:

i can hear my hair grow man

It is also very helpful in creative endeavors and has been widely used by many mainstream musicians and poets for quite some time.

It can be a great anti-depressant aswell; helping many a people overcome their woes, aswell as, face social obstacles and perhaps get a good nights rest while their at it, as Marijuana has been known to cure insomnia too.

word dude, im fuckinng pissed at everything all the fucking time

I would say yeah its a mood dissorder.... however were you always this way? or is there some tramautic life experience that you've supressed and is now manifesting itself in anger and rage??

Lol (I don't expect an answer-- no worries)

I mean, if not, id say its a plain ol' mood dissorder. Go see a therapist, see if they can get you a prescription for it lol.

Good stuff man. Yeah definately knew about the sleep thing lol...

I just use it to relax, put on a nice song put on my earphones and the rest just happens on its own.

very true... When I get home from work, I'm stressed to my gills like a snail in a salt shaker--- but as soon as I take couple tokes.... aaaahhhh.... everything is well with the world again.... lol

Lol, no man no trauma. I started becoming an angry dude in high school, got in trouble a bit because I was always in fights. Fighting wasn't so bad, but after a dude was laid out I was fully ready to keep kicking away. Most people would stop, I didn't. Thats what got me in trouble. I managed to curb that much aggression out of myself, but I tend to get aggravated easily at most anything. Wife, kids, dog, work, and so on. MJ takes that all away. I'd love to get a scrip but mood disorders are not on the list of qualifying illnesses in my state, even though I'm walking proof of it's effect on anger.

Automobiles. That's my idea of a green economy.

When I dont smoke, I can lie in my bed for hours before i fall asleep and even when i do its a really restless sleep When I smoke about 2 hours before bed, I fall asleep in minutes and am out until morning. Thats probably my biggest medical use, but i also use it for knee pain and obviously fun. Other than the fact that its illegal(here anyways) i cant think of a single negative thing about it

The problem with marijuana (the governments problem, not mine) is that if it's legalized everywhere in the U.S. then the pharmaceutical industry would begin to faultier and become useless basically, theres a few things that they'd be needed for but the majority of their medicines would become useless since everyone would say fuck you for overcharging us all these years, we'll grow our own bud.

I agree its something along thos lines, tho I always believed that it the reason its not legal where I am (Canada) is because of the "war on Drugs" the US has goin all the time-- (Not saying anything bad about Americans-- Your laws are just real harsh!)

I have heard numerous times that if the US laws were not so against the usage of Cannabis-- it would be legal here. The reason the US has an impact is because they're threatening to stop their 'free trade' agreement with Canada cause the US Gov knows that if we make it legal up North, more Americans are gunna come to Canada...


Tho I dunno why more people dont lol no offense but I love it here! Free health care, beautiful places, friendly people, more relax laws for weed,.... The only real bummer is our winter weather.... but meh thats why our booze is so strong lol

anyways ... thats was a fun ramble haha and no that is not based on absolute fact, its just n opinion

Oh ya man our laws are ridiculous. There's no reason for it to be illegal at all, it's a natural plant on this earth, it's just all the wrong people want to have it illegal due to pharmaceuticals, and if we don't lock people up for such a petty thing then our billion dollar prison systems would be very empty and useless, plus the more people have locked up = more slaves we can under pay and use and abuse for labor.

No doubt eh? I bet it is some twisted conspiracy BS like that too man. I'm telling you if it's not legalized in the next 10 years-- I'm gunna move to Europe-- FUCK IT lol.(jk).. I hope its legal soon... so tired of having to look over my sholder everytime I want to smoke a substance that I don't even consider a narcotic!....

Why is common sense so UNcomon? and those who seem to have the least sense of all-- are those who are in power... Ie- The old farts who made these rediculous laws.... gggaaahah!! frustration....
