  2. I am trying to research this more....particularly the triglyceride levels. I have heard that people are getting extremely high readings after using weed for a while. I tried to do kind of a survey asking if you eat or smoke, how many times per week and what blood results were...but no answers. It's nice to hear your levels actually dropped. Some people are saying triglys rose t0 800+.....which I would consider to be dangerous levels. Any further insight would be appreciated.
     
  3. We have receptors build into our bodies for the chemical components of Cannabis. That's why it stays in our system so long as compared to other "drugs." The body looks at anything unnatural as a toxin and immediately goes to work to eliminate it from the body. However, the body STORES marijuana. The body does not see it as a toxin and is already setup to use the components. Now...tell me again how this is a horrible drug and a total road to hell for anyone who uses it? Your situation is just one of thousands I have read about over the past several years. The people of the world have been screwed by greedy people and scammed into believing that this plant has no positive medical benefit. I honestly believe the possibilities are unlimited regarding what it might be able capable of in the medical field alone. We're going to have to become brave enough as a population to demand that it be decriminalized and STUDIED legitimately to prove it's benefits. So glad it has been a positive for you in your life and health. I love hearing stories about how it has made a great difference in people's lives. We sell a little of our crop to a few people. You can't trust anyone anymore and I'm not willing to go to jail for money, so the people that I deal with are all hand picked and are folks I've known my whole life and do trust. But at least 80% of the people who buy my buds are older and suffer with chronic medical conditions. They have realized that using a natural product can often reduce the numbers of man made chemicals they have to consume. I'm sorry, but the "natural" way is always better. Hope things continue on an up trend for you my friend and always be willing to share your positive experiences with others. We've got to stand up and be counted if we're ever going to change the laws and make it legal so everyone has access. TWW

  5. During a trip to Colorado, I experienced the wonderful edibles....I really like this so much because you know exactly what you are getting....3mg, 7mg 10mg.....10 mg is really perfect.....I'm just curious what a 'heavy' recreational user would be? I understand that components are stored in fat cells.....I'm very interested in how this affects triglycerides....and if 'heavier' users have higher triglycerides....what constitutes, 'heavy, moderate, and light usage"......and what 'milligrams are we talking. I am getting blood work done next month and have cut way back on edibles because I'm a little nervous. I normally drink a lot of water but as we get older, triglycerides matter more than they used to.
     
  6. in his avatar hes in mcdonalds..
     
  7. Haha......I only eat wild fish twice a week - I do eat eggs and daily but I am far from a junkfood eater. I have my moments .....but not many.
     
  8. fuck the bull shit i love mcdonalds,, fortunatly theres not one for miles, but i can go once every couple weeks!! the double cheese burgers and a small fry,,, starting to hurt my stomach sometimes, but thats usually when i have a soda with it..
     
  9. soda is bad bad bad for u, i thik that may be the worst part of mcdolands menu tbh..

  10. I'm not criticizing anyone that goes to mcdonalds......I just don't eat that way....I never have.....not even when I was very young. It's not that I'm against it.....I just saw one video too many and stopped eating meat and poultry....as a side benefit of that, my cholesterol dropped dramatically.....so I am researching effects of weed on blood work.....not for legal purposes....just for health purposes. By the way, you are really correct on soda.....actually anything fizzy is not good.....haven't had a soda in over 25 years....just don't drink it....I'd rather drink wine!!! LOL....
     
  11. You can always water down the juice 1/2 and 1/2 water.....at least you'd still taste the juice and still get water in your system. I try very hard to drink 10 glasses a day - but hard to do sometimes.

  12. cannabis compounds from the plant affects/ moves through the blood first when ingested/smoked etc.... when researching cannabis for cancer I learned that cannabis cleaned the blood fist and got rid of the cancer in the blood first. the other organs later.... because the cannabis plant compounds have proven to be modulators of the endocannabinoid system homeostasis is the result of consuming the compounds regularly.
     
  13. We're going to have to become brave enough as a population to demand that it be decriminalized and STUDIED legitimately to prove it's benefits.

    And there is the problem LEGITIMATELY
    Because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ rules the stiudies to many times.
    Great post WW!

    During a trip to Colorado, I experienced the wonderful edibles....I really like this so much because you know exactly what you are getting

    Can't speak for Colorado but I can speak for Washington state and my bet it's the same there ........ please don't trust what you read on the packaging.

    There have been tests done here from different dispensaries here which from THC to CBD and everything else like pesticides the whole we will regulate it to make it safe for you is nothing but a FRONT for the sheep to believe so they can TAX your meds to the extreme under the disguise of safety.

    Why is it your meds should be taxed at a greater rate then your local CARTEL the pharmacy?

    They do not have the means to test enough nor the timelines to sop unsafe products.

    Bottom line .................. and yes I know for lot of people this isn't possible but if any way exists educate yourself first then grow your own and start making your own meds.

    You can do it.
    Yes, it's a never ending process and learning curve but it's worth it..

    Here is an example of knowing what is TRULY going in your body .........

    This morning when the Wife was making soup I went out to the garden and grabbed some carrots, potatoes, corn, all food we know grown without pesticides and grown for the ultimate taste and nutrients.
