Cannabis as a Substitute for Alcohol

[Goddess Herb]

You're very welcome Sister. As Brother Ben says "we are all one family". And to paraphrase Brother Roger you are safe and you are loved. I believe we are all here because we are lost and are searching for our selves in each other. May we all find comfort in our ministry and may we all minister to others as well as our selves. So be it. And so it is. Blessed be.

I other than Cannabis the only other drugs I've ever done are :

LSD: which I personally find to be very hard on the body and you need a bit to get good visuals, IMHO.

Mushrooms: These are the best for me. Much easier on the body IMHO and a great vivid trip. Tough to get down if you're not a mushroom fan though.

Ecstasy: This one doesn't affect me like normal people because I have ADHD. For me though it was basically just a kind of speed, I got a lot done and didn't sleep for two days. Everyone else is like "Woo, what a party" and I'm just sitting there going party?WTF???? Cannabis is like that too. Everyone else is like "I am so fucked up I can't even think" and I'm ready to have a deep philosophical introspective conversation for three hours.

Speed, coke, and meth could probably be useful to me but I too like my sleep. Besides they are really hard on the body.

I've been using Cannabis to help with my ADHD as well as back pain, PMDD, muscle spasms and cramps. Cannabis seems to allow me to focus better on one thing at a time. The only thing is it doesn't stop me from jumping from one thing to another.

I wish I could have a place to grow and do research so I could find the medical uses of various strains. I think that the inability to have the right strain for the right condition is a terrible injustice in our fascist aristocracy and IMHO is the best way the institutional terrorists to keep the "no medicinal value/use" facade going.

My dream would be to have a huge dispensary/research facility where you were given medicine based on what was found to work best for certain conditions not what's available or hot right now. Imagine actually having a starting place to dispense medicine that actually treated specific symptoms... ah now that's freedom.

Thanks to all for your patience with my babbling.

there are already strains that have been found to better treat certain symptoms. just google cannabis strains to find out what would suit you best. I like your dream of the big facility to do the research and treat people. I'll be a guinea pig!!!

Too true Brother too true. Just look at how many and different types of addicts there are in the US right now. Millions of people addicted to everything from caffeine and nicotine to food, gambling, exercise and sex. And on and on.... Let's not forget the prescription drugs that are rivaling the illicit ones in abuse. Oh and all that money spent and made on keeping everyone a slave to some thing. Gotta love that "you can be an addicted to anything as long as we say it's ok and make money off your sorry ass" attitude the US has. Ah, smell the hypocrisy.

You have a point with the oxygen, although I think it's more like air that I'm addicted to. Which has who knows what else in it other than oxygen. I guess everyone is addicted to something.

Sister I'll call you up to be a test subject if any country in the world legalizes Cannabis. Hey maybe I can get a special grant from the Hawaii government. That would be a great place to have it... for me anyway Think the DEA would leave us alone there??? Probably not but it's nice to dream....
