cannabis as an Alternative medicine

[America]

cannabis is a OK alternative to medicine if being fucked up is enough to manage ur condition.

opiates are far and away more useful. and they don't trigger schizoid avoidant/oppositional personality disorders.

Could you elaborate? Been a huge smoker since the 90s but recently been cutting back bigtime

part and parcel of paranoid schizophrenia is "negativity"/"oppositionality". it's the tendency to interpret stimuli negatively and people as adversaries. whether or not you suffer an underlying disorder which will be exacerbated by it, weed induces paranoid / schizoid symptomatology. it darkens your lens.

ppl who disagree tend to be on the junkie logic thing. or, for alcohol: "I don't get hangovers"

Although cannabis is sometimes proving to be good for your health, it is not fully legal in many countries.

I’m for it, but my doctor doesn’t want any competition.

Negative and disagreeable are two of my defining character traits, just like my grandmother, and we’re not schizophrenics. We’re more like: This shit is wrong and you’re an idiot. My way is better and screw you if you disagree. We are right, more often than not, because we’re not idiots; however, people tend to let their bruised egos get in the way of improving whatever thing is it we’re bitching about. It’s about improving things that are wrong. Unfortunately, I’m very good at spotting flaws in everything wrong out there, and I lack the tact to keep my mouth shut about it.

Putting it less unflatteringly, I’m a pessimist who, as pessimists do, has a closer view of reality than anyone (most people) with an optimism bias. I also don’t mind causing strife in order to bring that unnoticed reality to light.

That is to say I’m destined to most likely always be a hypercritical bitch thanks to grandma and father being my way or the highway types. Yeah, that’s my fatal flaw. Not schizophrenic though!


Positive / agreeable types are dumbs anyway.

Cannabis now has many benefits that will be good for your health.

Cannabis is a neurotoxin that causes mental illness. This has been well known since the British first measured sanitarium statistics in India in the 1850s. Even 30 minutes on google scholar should suffice to convince you of this.

In related news, violent crime in Colorado has gone straight up since cannabis was legalized in 2013, because the mentally ill are frequently violent.

The question you should be asking is why cannabis is legal and ozone is illegal.

Ty for the neuroscience data from the time period when we were just finding out about microorganisms. Lol. Back then they thought bad odors caused disease and that frogs were spotaneously created in dirt, too. That was what passed for science then, so I’d be a little skeptical of citing observations from the 1850s as evidence of anything.

Ozone can:
Make it more difficult to breathe deeply and vigorously.
Cause shortness of breath, and pain when taking a deep breath.
Cause coughing and sore or scratchy throat.
Inflame and damage the airways.
Aggravate lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
Increase the frequency of asthma attacks.
Make the lungs more susceptible to infection.
Continue to damage the lungs even when the symptoms have disappeared.
Cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
These effects have been found even in healthy people, but can be more serious in people with lung diseases such as asthma. They may lead to increased school absences, medication use, visits to doctors and emergency rooms, and hospital admissions.
Long-term exposure to ozone is linked to aggravation of asthma, and is likely to be one of many causes of asthma development. Long-term exposures to higher concentrations of ozone may also be linked to permanent lung damage, such as abnormal lung development in children.
Recent studies consistently report associations between short-term ozone exposures and total non-accidental mortality, which includes deaths from respiratory causes. Studies suggest that long-term exposure to ozone also may increase the risk of death from respiratory causes, but the evidence is not as strong as the evidence for short-term exposure.

Also harms plants, reducing their capacity for photosynthesis and slows their growth while making them more susceptible to damage from the environment (insects, pollution,weather).

Ozone also doesn’t have the goddamned common decency to get you high while it damages your lungs like pot does.
