You should read more carefully. It's good for many things, including quelling the nausea from cancer chemotherapy, relieving the pressure of glaucoma, and as an antidepressant, giving people a relief from the Black Fog and a reminder of what it is to feel happy. And it's a great painkiller, too. However, the things that people use the aspirin and acetominophen, etc, painkillers for, that is, to keep functioning while having one's pain relieved, it is not good for. If you're at home in the evening, not doing anything risky or painstaking, that's great. But it would never hurt the sales of the minor painkillers, which was the post I was taking exception to.No, because it's not an opinon that can't be disproved. I can disprove it right now by saying: The sky appears blue.luminousnerd, if I'm of the opinion that you're always wrong, and opinions can't be disproved (according to you), does that mean it's true?
I'm confused here, I thought you were saying it did not have medicinal purposes? I agree with what you've said here.Sorry, Lumi, but I am speaking from personal experience, for several years, long before you were born, and on which the statute of limitations has long run out. I don't have a problem with not believing you. I quit when I got pregnant, which is how I know that it's not addictive, because while I quit marijuana easily, I was only able to cut way down on tobacco, and didn't try on caffeine, because I didn't realize that caffeine was a Bad Thing for pregnancy. I stayed quit when the baby was born, because I didn't want to be nonfunctional with a helpless person in the house whose life depended on my functionality (designated driver). (And if you think anyone really _likes_ changing any particular diaper, you are wrong! Smile ) The baby is 32 years old now, and I never got around to going back to it, for many reasons depending on the year. I believe that it should be legal for recreational as well as medicinal purposes, but that people should use good sense when using it.
There's a very instructive record, called "A Child's Garden of Grass: a Pre-legalization Comedy". To the best of my knowledge, as I've never heard the CD, it contains the same material I once knew well on vinyl,

One comedy skit on it gives the music people _think_ they're making when high, then the version that straight people hear of the same music at the same time. It's funny, because it's so terribly true! ;^)
