promptly relaxed to the point
I'm going to take this out of context in a way for a point, bear with me...
It's a controlled portion of that relax function that is so helpful for folks with back spasms,
severe arthritis, other medical conditions that are often treated with synthetic muscle relaxants.
Like the ones I take morning and night and have for years. I have degenerative bone disease and let's say
it's not getting any better. I just don't whine and keep playing with tractors. But without some form of medicine, I couldn't
ever do what I do. My quality of life is hugely improved by prescription meds. But I worry what these big pharma pills are doing to me,
and if other more natural plant based solutions are safer for me.
Thankfully I'm retired and don't have to worry about
drug testing at work, as many of you do. Just about anyone hired today by a medium or large business gets drug tested due
to insurance requirements in some cases. And I used to be an insurance underwriter many years ago...
So I'm pretty good at identifying risk, and trying not to be one myself.
The problem is whether Happy Harry understands he's buzzed more than he thinks he is.
I do not want Happy Harry sitting near the control levers at the nuke plant. Which I've been in, btw, on the job.
Nor do I want to meet Happy Harry with the big buzz on out on the highway.
I wonder what driving in California is like?
No matter what, you are self medicating and the problem with marijuana is it's very hard to establish
precise dosages, because the product changes in intensity apparently like hot peppers can be hot and then tear your head off hot.
You just don't know the dosage you are getting. And that's scary if one overindulges. Particularly if one gets behind the wheel
to drive home and thinks oh I'm fine. Often repeated last words.
Should be no difference with pot or alcohol as for need for designated driver.
But then you are back to the 250 pound guy who knows exactly what two beers does to his system
and what the resulting BAC is. You just don't know what two puffs will do for you and do to you.
I went to college in the late 60's and witnessed some remarkable stuff for a small town country boy.
Never had cocaine, never had acid, never had anything in a pill, I knew it could kill me and I still do.
Much less be unsafe to anyone else.
I think I have a lot more brain cells left because I never tried.
Others said the partying had no effects.
Maybe they got lucky.
Until they can rate pot with an accurate "proof", so a reputable drug company could package a known THC or CBD dose consistently and repeatedly, I think taking any pill with THC or even CBD in it is chancy. Too much risk for me. Your 10mg standard dose may give me paranoid delusions. Uh, no. Particularly when exactly like heroin you get the equivalent of a hot dose, and overwhelming hallucinations that will give you nightmares for a long time. Uh, no. This is not what you want your fork lift driver on after lunch time.
now that I've put you all to sleep...
