I smoke weed to get high, though THC extract has been medically proven to treat certain seizure disorders in kids I simply do it to relax (and have an excuse to put Mac-n-cheese on subs) if I wanna smoke a bowl in my private home at night that's my business.

    [quote]though THC extract has been medically proven to treat certain seizure disorders in kids[/quote] That's cannabidiol (CBD) which is used to treat the seizures, not THC. If I gave you a joint full of pure CBD, you would get zero high. [url=http://www.mentalhealthcare.org.uk/view_all_videos/robin_murray_video_clip_1]CBD in fact, counters the effects of THC. [/url] This is why the strains that give you the "best high" have virtually zero CBD.

  • Medical marijuana is actually used in some states to treat seizures. Take this from a guy who is just as annoyed by them as you are.

    The doctors and scientists are in the process of testing a new anti epileptic drug, that is purely made from Cannabidiol (the one cannabanoid in cannabis that is used to treat seizures), called Epidiolex. [quote]Although the drug is derived from marijuana, Epidiolex is being fast-tracked through the U.S. drug approval system, and the promising results that it has shown in seizure treatment are encouraging. GW Pharmaceutical CEO Justin Glover is looking forward to commencing a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of the drug in Dravet syndrome later this year. Read more at http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/epidiolex-drug-derived-from-marijuana-shows-promise-in-seizure-treatment/#B68fbQRQ2bvcuLv0.99[/quote] Hopefully, people can stop saying "the weed is saving her life" as a justification to their own use (even though they are smoking strains with no CBD, and high THC). It's sad, some people think weed's actually a "medicinal herb", not a drug.

  • Medical, CBD and less often CBN. NOT everyday street THC weed

  • I know, I was just clarifying for the alarming majority of smokers who believe any old street weed is good for you.

  • No, no it's not. Please don't be such a -blam!-ing moron. Numerous children have all but stopped seizing thanks to this. To say it has no medical use is simply false propaganda. Do a little research.

  • I have. You've clearly been too busy getting high to do any proper research. THC offers zero health benefits, it's only purpose is to cause a euphoric high.

  • Are we playing let's state opinions? I have no reason to claim this just to feel better about smoking weed. I could care less what people think about me, that's straight from the epilepsy foundation you tool. Read the entire article or continue to spout your uneducated non-sense but I'm not playing your game anymore. Science bitch.

  • Lol there we go. Finally. Took ya'll long enough. See, you can put those smoked out brains to use still, just need some motivation to get your facts right. Good for you! :) There are two components in weed that have medical properties. CBD & CBN. The former is non psychoactive and the latter is mildly psychoactive. Most street variants of weed offer little to no health benefits as their strain has been bred to contain near zero CBD or CBN and a very high level of THC. Everyday weed is good for nothing other than getting high. Medical weed or extracts are legit, though they need more research You're welcome.

  • I mean let's be honest 90% of people on here are under 16 and are clueless as to what either of those are, I chose something more recognizable and while not entirely true it's still closer to the truth than saying weed has 0 medical benefits. You knew what I was saying and chose a combative route but whatever, say what ya want I'm a well educate well spoken adult who most people like. Maybe it's not the case for everyone but the only negative effect weed has ever had on me would be whatever damage it's doing to my respiratory system, it has no bearing on my intellect.

  • I understand what you were trying to do, but you went about it very poorly. Saying that THC is good is just perpetuating misinformation. Teach them the truth, that CBD and less comonly because it is mildly psychoactive, CBN, are the components that hold medical properties in weed. Many people believe it's the THC which is false, so they go around spewing crap and telling people any ol' street weed is good for you and there's no reason for it to be illegal. Wrong. No. False. Medical marijuana should be legal yes, with more research of course, especially in pill or oil extract form for children, street weed, however, that's another story. It's also been proven that smoking marijuana inhibits brain development in people under the age of 25.

  • [quote]I have. You've clearly been too busy getting high to do any proper research. THC offers zero health benefits, it's only purpose is to cause a euphoric high.[/quote] Highlights Charlotte’s Web is a sativa marijuana strain that has gained popularity as a good option for treating seizures as well as a range of other medical conditions. This medical potency is due to its high-CBD content, which was specifically cultivated by Colorado breeders The Stanley Brothers for a young epileptic patient named Charlotte. However, the thick “web” of trichomes on Charlotte’s flowers are also storied to have led to the name. This strain is effective with little to no psychoactive effects, making it great for those who don’t want their medication to affect their daily tasks. Charlotte’s powerful web may cause dizziness for some patients, so new users should be cautious. Overall, the flowers of this strain have a fresh pine aroma.

    > Talks about benefits of cannabis > must watch CNN > owns firearms > must watch FOX I just am tired of seeing the legal prescription pills destroying more lives then weed ever has. I live in the Pill Mill Florida. Weed is a none issue compared to drugs like xanex, roxy, oxy, not to mention methadone. Weed has more benefits then any of those imo. I never seen a 20 yr chick sucking on a 80yr old guy for his weed script.

THC offers zero health benefits, it's only purpose is to cause a euphoric high.[/quote] Thc is not the chemical that cures the seizures, but there is a chemical in cannbis proven to reduce seizures. There is also strains of cannabis that contain low amounts of thc and higher amounts of the chemical that is the usefull one. Please do something research I'll go research the chemical component in cannbis that is helpful so you dont waste you few brain cells you have left. *CBD* not the *THC*

  • Oral sex is illegal in virginia, it's illegal for women to parasail (sp?) in Florida, and a county in Georgia allows you to beat your wife as long as it's Sunday on the courthouse steps. What I'm saying is my -blam!-s are all spent on real world problems not the legality of a plant.
