Help explaining to Husband

Get him to watch "the union" and "a culture high"..
Awesome documentaries....

 

First, welcome to gc. I would highly advise you edit your post, as the only drugs allowed for discussion here are cannabis, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. All others are considered unmentionables and discussion of those, even in the past tense may garner the attention of moderators. I'm not a mod and could care less, it's just a friendly tip on how to get around here at gc.

I just explained to my wife that I chose to use cannabis to treat my problems rather than prescription meds. It took her a little while, but she came around. Your hubby may never do that unfortunately.

 

Have him literally chat with Granny Storm Crow on FB https://www.facebook.com/GrannyStormCrowsList/


"...Granny Storm Crow's List (click here for the whole shebang) is now over a totally astounding 2400 pages,
including over 800 pages on the Endocannabinoid System alone! So I
guess you could say things are getting serious (extra points if you
recognize the quote).http://beyondchronic.com/2015/08/granny-storm-crows-medical-marijuana-research-list-july-2015/
Granny: "My Goodness! How my List has grown over the last few months! And there
have been some rather unexpected new “branchings” in the List recently.
Acetaminophen, black tea, flax, echinacea, and magnolias? How did they
manage to sneak into my list on cannabis, cannabinoids, and the
endocannabinoid system?
The answer is simple, the plants all contain compounds that interact
with receptors in the endocannabinoid system. Science has discovered
that cannabinoids are, indeed, made by other plants. So far, none of
them cause the same dramatic psychoactive CB1 receptor reaction (the
high) as THC. They seem to be mostly limited to the CB2 receptors (no
high, just healing).

Acetaminophen, on the other hand, is transformed by your body into a
compound called AM-404, which blocks the break-down of anandamide, your
body's own version of THC. Just like THC, anandamide makes you “feel
good” and decreases pain. Blocking the break-down of the fragile
anandamide by AM-404 results in more anandamide being in your body,
relieving your pain. The acetaminophen, itself, does nothing to relieve
your pain!

As much as I would like it to be, cannabis is not 100% safe - nothing
is! There is something you need to understand about the endocannabinoid
system - it is a system of checks and balances. The amounts of
endocannabinoids vary according to the body's needs. As an example,
during a woman's ovulation, her anandamide levels spike, then drop
drastically for the implantation of the egg. THC during ovulation would
have little effect, but just days later, THC might interfere with
implantation. Women trying to get pregnant should avoid cannabis.

Teens under the age of 16 should not be using cannabis unless there
is a medical reason. The adolescent brain undergoes a “rewiring job” and
the endocannabinoid system is right in the middle of things. The fear
is that THC will cause “misconnections” resulting in subtle personality
changes or neurosis. Like alcohol, cannabis should normally be reserved
for adults.

Likewise, cancer is not just one disease, which is why one treatment
does not work on all types of cancer. Most cancers appear to be slowed
by THC, but there are a few rare exceptions. When exposed to THC or
similar synthetics, A549 lung cancer cells start reproducing, while
exposure to CBD slows them down. The usual “high THC” RSO could be a
disaster for a small minority of cancer patients. We need more research,
but that can't happen without legalization!

Our government has lied to us about the effects of cannabis for over
seven decades. They have blocked virtually all research into cannabis
and how it heals. They have ranked a never-fatal herbal medicine with
the most deadly kinds of drugs, against all scientific evidence! Yet,
somehow, that inconvenient truth keeps coming out – cannabis heals! It
is time that we, as a nation, demand that the truth be openly
acknowledged and research into this amazing plant begun! As my
Grandfather said, “If the truth won't do, then something is wrong”!

 

Best of luck, that must mean he's at least receptive, right? I hope you're able to find the relief you need without any prejudice from home. Sounds like he'll come around, just a matter of time.

 

I agree to getting him to watch the documentaries on Netflix but also show him the SCIENCE OF IT!! Like get him some facts. THC is what makes you feel high and what you're getting is low THC and high CBD, just explain to him how these things work and if he still thinks you're lying... Well wtf? You can't argue with facts haha.

 

My hubby is awesome about it, but he has some drug use in his past and he's a drinker now. He gets that the world is a little better when you're high, you're the person you WANT to be. I agree with previous posters, catch "The Culture High," "Neurons to Nirvana," not "Super High Me," dude doesn't even inhale and acts like an ass because he thinks he's high. I can't find the other ones I watched on Netflix, search youtube, maybe you can get some info there. Check out "The Big Picture" thread, you might find some other flicks there.

 

withhold any romantic gestures, not even kiss on the check, after 2 weeks of no punanny, he should realize you're not messing around
