Doc: New studies show it can shrink your brain and in the places that affect anger and stress
Me:.. ( 10 sec pause) so it'll make you happier and less stressful
Doc: It'll shrink your brain

lmao!! that sounds like what i woulda said

 

yea that sucks man dont give into the meds man they are the real ones that will screw you up only leading to needing more and more meds making you the slave of the mulit billion dollor drug compinies. stand by what you believe in and dont let any narrow minded docter or any one else tell you other wise keep on smokin man

 

Your mom needs an education and a reality check! First, go here- http://forum.grasscity.com/medical-marijuana/254526-granny-storm-crows-list.html#post2809995

Find the section on "SAFETY" and whatever else looks good to you. Do some print ups.

Next go on the web- type in the names of the meds they want you to take and "severe side effects". Don't go to just the official website- hit the ones frequented by the folks who got the side effects! Print their stories up! Let her compare for herself!

Then let her read my WHOLE list- If you want to keep your messing around on THIS site secret, you can find exactly the same post at this brand new TOTALLY MEDICAL site (be good there, OK?). It's barely off the ground, so nothing there to incriminate you, or embarrass Mom! (I'm a Mom- I would definitely check out my kid's posts at a site like this, ASAP! No offense to GC- just looking at like a straight mom would do!) Here's the URL for the other site-

Now for the doc- before you turn your doc on to my post- print a few of these up to counter the "shrunken brain" blather. Apparently the study that the doc quoted is flawed!

(The last one is for when they go to the "Gateway" myth.)

If you have a lot of ink- print up a copy of my whole list to amuse your friends with. The doc might like one too.


Good luck with Mom! - Granny

 

What kind of meds? I'll bet they have crazy proven side-effects that are 10x worse than some fake brain-shrinking propaganda.

I remember when I was thinking about meds and looking them up. One of the possible side-effects was "death" and another was "irreversible brain damage". Made me pretty pissed that I can't get buds legally but I can kill myself with pills instead.

 

I've been thinking about telling my parents that I smoke for anxiety. They both know I smoke, but maybe if I told them I was doing it for a real problem they would be more accepting of the idea. I have a gut feeling they would rather me be on meds, too.

 

'new studies show ittle shrink your brain'.

Do they give any old monkey an MD now? What a fraudulent quack. I'd do everything in my power to expose him as a quack of a doctor and have his license revoked.

 

When i was younger and i just started driving my mom made me take a drug test before i was put on her insurance policy.

She was afriad i would drive while high. So my argument was well if you trust me not to drink and drive, why cant you trust me not to smoke and drive?

 

dude trust me..i know exactly how you feel. the source of my depression is the wall of ignorance my mom has built up around herself.

she thinks i'm insane because i don't think its an achievement to have a job, and think society is a manufactured game we all get duped into playing and essentially become prostitutes for the state....but that's another thread

anyhow she told me she thinks i need to get onto some antidepressant medication, and to stop smoking so much pot..

i said let me get this straight, you would rather have me stop using an all natural medicine that helps me eat, sleep, and does wonders for my depression/anxiety, so that i can start regularly altering my brain chemistry with a totally synthetic drug that does nothing but suppress emotion? do you honestly think that will help me any more than all natural cannabis i can use at my own discretion?

I DONT KNOW, IM NOT A DOCTOR.

i don't even think i'm depressed..i think i am naturally reacting to an unhealthy society.

 

Anxiety is not a good enough condition to warrant medical marijuana. If you disagree, and you're over 18, move to california, find a doctor who'll prescribe medical marijuana for anxiety, and get your card. Good luck with that though, california is expensive, and the medical marijuana is too.

If you have Crohn's Disease or cancer, then you might have a case.

Modern antidepressants are very effective at treating anxiety and depression. Probably a lot better than cannabis ever will be at it.

 

Well think what you want, but cannabis usually doesn't do anything for anxiety but make it worse.

Modern antidepressants are very effective at treating anxiety, and are very safe drugs.

Sounds to me like you just want an excuse to smoke pot with your parents permission.

 

you realize these pills will cause dependency. withdrawal, possible seizures. and youll be dependent on popping that pill ever morning rather than smoking cannabis as needed.

also you do realize they make a chemical. see how it affects the brain. then push it to psychiatrist, telling them prescribe it to people with symptoms of blank. all with little testing and no long term testing. they make the pill then make the disease and people who need that little help get fucked by the system rather than smoking cannabis.

fuck those psychiatrist. i try to have a real conversation with them and there just worried about covering there own ass, legally and financially. and so egur to throw a pill down my throat.

trust me i have ocd, anxiety, panic attacks, and icp (doesnt matter point is, is that symptom includes constant nausea and migraines). fuck man cannabis turns my ocd voice OFF. lets me sit down and do work rather than fucking stress and have a migraine, also, look i can eat without upset stomach, vomiting, ect.

i go to docs and tell them that, im on zoloft (18 weeks and no help). xanax (allows me to ease stress but i worry about withdrawal) and some other med to ease my icp but i still get the terrible nausea/headache as a symptom of icp.


end rant: fucking cant wait to move to co for college.

edit: and also cannabis is free medicine, where they charge like a bitch for these halfass pills.

 

My dad's a cop so he completely freaked out to the point where I had a little note in my sock saying 'my dad did it' just in case he went over the edge and finally killed me when he found my bowl (I wouldn't blame him, I don't take life seriously at all and it pisses him off non stop)
