So tell me something else about you.

[Digit]

when asked, "so tell me something else about you" i slipped into a full blown rant

(02:09:24 AM) Digit: something else....
(02:09:30 AM) Digit: was addicted to dr pepper for years
(02:09:39 AM) Digit: for over a year i was on 4 Litres a day
(02:10:00 AM) Digit: it wasnt until i drank 9 litres in a 24 hour period that i realised i had a serious problem
(02:10:08 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: Is he like you in anyway would you say? Wow, thats a lot in one day! You must of been on a constant high
(02:10:24 AM) Digit: so... you'll forgive me if i dont take the government seriously about which drugs are bad
(02:10:46 AM) Digit: nah, he's more the hard working square, im more the free thinking black sheep of the family.
(02:11:09 AM) Digit: but its weird how i caught up and even surpassed him in terms of being a health freak.
(02:11:20 AM) Digit: it did look for a while like i might go teh path of being a druggie. lol
(02:11:48 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: And howd that path change?
(02:12:04 AM) Digit: but then... he was always more the one who hung out with the drug taking partiers at first, even though i went out more... i just hung out with the booze hounds mostly. oh it was a messed up mix
(02:12:26 AM) Digit: health problems for me based largely on conditions from legal substances
(02:12:45 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: it would
(02:13:21 AM) Digit: i was on about 20 prescription pills daily and that number was only set to rise thnx to the complications.... the day i decided to stop taking them ALL and deal with the consequences, and only medicate using the herb was the day i startyed getting better.
(02:14:06 AM) Digit: i was in a piss poor state then. cripple, couldnt walk, mal nourished, couldnt eat, blacking out from raynauds so bad my brain was intermitantly being starved of proper blood flow....
(02:15:43 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: Jesus ....howd you get out of it all?
(02:15:53 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: and how are you doing now? like nowadays
(02:15:54 AM) Digit: cannabis cannabis cannabis.
(02:16:02 AM) Digit: that was the umber one thing that saved me
(02:16:29 AM) Digit: since my appetite had been utterly shafted from the dr pepper, it was a really difficult thing to even get enough food in me. cannabis helped with that
(02:16:47 AM) Digit: the back pain from a twisted spine and lack of pelvis control, controlled by cannabis
(02:16:54 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: So it like saved your life!
(02:17:04 AM) Digit: and the pains from a detatched stomach muscle... now thats PAAAAAAAIN!!!!!!!!!!! helped by cannabis
(02:17:29 AM) Digit: the constriction of the veins and arteries from raynauds syndrome... cannabis relaxed them and let blood flow
(02:17:49 AM) Digit: the depression and frustration of having to live like that for so long.... cannabis helped with that.
(02:18:15 AM) Digit: yeah. when i say cannabis saved my life. i mean literaly. really. honestly. no exaduration. i would be dead without it.
(02:18:18 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: woah ...
(02:18:43 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: perhaps i underated it ....
(02:19:10 AM) Digit: conventional medication had no chance, because i had so many things wrong wiht me at once, the cocktail of drugs to treat each had such dangerous interactions and cumulative side effects that i saw the direction it was going, i was only likely to keep taking more new ones to combat the side effects.
(02:19:29 AM) Digit: cannabis is biologically so in tune with us, i call it the great rebalancer.
(02:20:11 AM) Digit: i've seen it help people control their weight from being to fat, and i was using it to gain weight. i know people who uise it for high blood pressure, i was using it for low blood pressure.
(02:20:46 AM) Digit: oh, i forgot to mention asthma, eczema, migraine.... and likely a couple others too. ... n yeah, this is just the stuff i had to deal with.
(02:21:29 AM) Digit: no one thing on it is as high profile as MS or AIDS or Cancer. but really, my life was in danger. even just the rayauds alone coulda killed me with how bad it had gotten.
(02:22:50 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: Its helps deal with those problems!!! ??
(02:23:34 AM) Digit: yeah.... your education is TOO IMPORTANT to leave to formal education institutions. u gotta take responsibility for it yourself. Shen Nung i think is the name of the Chinese Emperor historically recorded first for using cannabis as a medicine. and that was 2800BC... so that's almost 5000 years of documented medical evidence...... that's a tad more than the mere 80 years of cannabis propaganda we the world have had to live with
(02:24:34 AM) Digit: ... minus that small break in WW2 the pohibitionists dont like to talk about where the governments of both UK and America DEMANDED the farmers grow cannabis to help win the war effort. but efter that, the big business got back in there and stomped out the competition again.
(02:25:15 AM) Digit: i mean... we cant have the people growing their own cannabis hemp for all their paper when there's trees to be cut down to make all that money for the timber merchants and newspaper tycoons
(02:26:06 AM) Digit: we cant lept the people grow their own oils for fuels and all the rest of the stuff made from oil when there's all this black stuff coming from the earth... who cares that it's inferior, it;s more profitable for the oil tycoon.
(02:27:13 AM) Digit: and who cares about all the other stuff it can be used for medicinally when the petrochemical industry has its wing of pharmaceuticals that can control the supply and make much more money from... oh no.... we cant let cannabis be legal. oh no.
(02:27:35 AM) Digit: quick, better print newspaper healdines about how ******s will rape your white daughters when crazed on marijuana
(02:27:45 AM) Digit: .... marijauana??? what is this new plant?
(02:28:00 AM) Digit: oh no... dont let the people know its the same plant they know and love as hemp
(02:28:26 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: God, give me time....
(02:28:32 AM) Digit: the two names to look up to see the dawn of prohibition.... Harry J Anslinger. and Randolf William Hearst.
(02:28:36 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: im only at the 3 rd bitty! lol slow down
(02:28:37 AM) Digit: anh... just ranting it all donw.
(02:28:53 AM) Digit: lol, hope i didnt put that many typos in it. lol
(02:31:38 AM) ..X..Freeeeeeeeaking WALLY!..X.. Never regret anything that made you smile!: yeh you did , the computer is refusing to let me scroll any further up...and up until now ive actually been rading it all word for word...not understanding a great deal, but still giving it a shot like! lol
(02:33:18 AM) Digit: actually, it was Stichlin's Decorticating machine that made the change. it was the harvesting machine that turned what would be a 500 manhour job into one man's afternoon. that was what turned what was known in 1900 as the BILLION DOLLAR CROP (according to headlines, in an age when even a million dollars was unheard of) into something so amazing no other industry could compete... and so.... the afore mentioned tycoon Randolf Hearst (timber and newspapers) and his nephew, drug tzar to be, Harry J Anslinger and no doubt lots of help from chemical gian DuPont and others, banded together to stamp out cannabis, the competition, by spreading lies about it under a name they stole from mexico, "marijuana" which no one knew what it was... only that it was bad because it made ******s rape their white daughters... and this is in 1928, so it went down pretty well. it got made ilegal so fast, included in the anti-opiate acts and america exported the law around the world. and globably there has now been over 5 TRILLION dollars spent on keeping it ilegal. ... just think how much richer we could all be!

the conversation did carry on, but thats all i'll post here.


... this was to the person who earlier said to me "Well i dont know anything about drugs..just that theyre bad."



oh yeah, incase the filter is still on... the word ******s, is n.i.g.g.e.r.s. and i should have the freedom of speech to say that word. i mean... i am only relaying what others said. u cant stamp out racism with censorship.

[Astrovan]

Well at least your friend is willing to keep an open mind.. that response is such an improvment over some of the people I've spoken to.. =\

[Digit]

i thought it was exceptional of her.... given how ranty i was getting. heh. i've been worse i suppose.

she's plannin on become a nurse, i think that helps her reccognition for need for knowledge outside her experience.

[RavenousDank]

yeah, thats one hell of a rant, were you sober?
btw Dr. Pepper FTW

[tokey420]

i want to save that for the next time someone pulls a drugs r bad on me
do you mind? lol

[xXMelkorXx]

thats alot of soda

[Buddeh]

I didn't read it just for the fact that the other guys name is too long and I always have to spend extra time just figuring out where it ends. But that is a lot of soda in one day haha.

edit: I ended up reading it and you schooled him.

[Digit]

last night i got in a drunken argument with someone who refused to listen to my perspective on cannabis and the brief of my experience with it, insisting instead that i dont listen to other people and that cannabis just makes you think it heals you. u-huh. that'll b why all last night and today i was considering the possibility of what she said.... cos i dont listen. riiiight. weird ... cos she used to go out with my flatmate who toked, and her current boyfriend tokes too.... how she can be so stubborn with her views on the topic and yet still keep on having toking boyfriends is a schism i dont think i would be able to resolve.

see image....
that white tub is full of dr bottle caps too.
90% from the 2L bottles rather than the 500mls.
thats not likely even 20% of how many i got through though. started collecting late in the game.
the cans there, dont even scratch the surface of 1% of how many i've been through.
seriously... Dr Pepper is NOT advised.


.... the herb most certainly is.
