Salutations YourBaker,
Over the last year or so I've seen a lot of posts on BL from members who have been using marijuana in various forms medically.
There's no doubt about that, though one should also keep in mind that some of "us" just refuse to get categorized by total 3rd-party strangers either as a "medical" user or a "recreational" consumer, which IMHO is some constrained perspective designed by bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionists to support not so contrasting underlying consequences resulting from such politically-correct media-fashioned words exactly. Briefly put medical means "don't shoot", recreational means "stoner"/"droÿé"... M'well, that could be tagged as a caricaturized sample of my imagination i must admit, but i won't be the least bit surprized every single time this simple bipolar logic shall actually apply in the land of cap'tain Canuck, on planet Itnoc:
In The Name Of Children!

Sorry guys but it was this type of blind ("black box") dynamic socio-toxic system which actually hit a man to death in Montréal-Nord/Québec Canada on April 1st last year: although i'm all too aware there's no "love" for Jean-Pierre Bony i feel obliged to remind Canadian voters what's the cost of Trudeau's "legaleezation" so far. Pardon me such blantant topic steering...
Now i'm expecting that we'll eventually see how it ends up with the multitude of little grey-area "details" which vanish/disapear between white and black zones as defined in the political realm, as if the "casualties" never existed. The goal justifies the means...
So, thanks but no thanks. Are you with me?
...
Please simply consider there's a 3rd option here and i certainly don't want to sound like i myself try to impose arbitrary sand-box limits for such a crucial debate:
a) Medical - Those are the non sinners, essentially; on planet Itnoc 100 % martyrs would be prefered instead...
b) Recreational - Only TOTAL ABSTAINANCE can "cure" those lesser sub-humans, lets tag them as wild animals!
c) There's no such thing as a "medical" and/or "recreational" Trudeau-Mania BOX where to fit everyone by force.
d) ...
...
Yet i'm prepared to use/accept this artificial nomenclature for the purposes of a constructive exchange. I'm just hoping somebody understands why i find the systematic classification so shocking, knowing the extreme forms of abuse this can make possible when allowed by a system which turned sicker than those it pretends it can "cure", tenfold!! Please don't feel insulted because you've adopted the medical/recreational
ultimatum, but it is also important to consider that's not how things conveniently settle in real life scenarios for every human on earth.
So, it's not even about obstructing the topic: on the contrary, i find it
urgently requires much closer attention. To read/decode between the lines, because starting from the moment we give up to the medical/recreational crushing machine there's no looking back for what was lost in hope of making lame gains that didn't have to come at such a high cost, except to serve less than noble political objectives. In other words remember the medical users are taken hostages to support a socio-toxic ideology with their own signature. And why socio-toxic, well simply because the treament of Trudeau's pesticide-laced "mari-caca" is radically different from that involved for alcohol, tobacco and so many other targets of a "sins" industry where the real product is "us", humans, serving as the crops of the "legaleezation" Liberal crushing machine.
M'well, that's one way i'd put it this morning anyway. Forgive me if that sounds rude! Not to mention i don't know of a similar system with "medical" vs "recreational" alcohol, tobacco, lotery, etc... All heavily taxed to compound more problems together, etc., which i can express as 1 single word:
VILIFICATION. The opposite of "BANALIZATION", if one follows what i mean...
There are a lot of random success stories and positive outcomes spread over hundreds of threads.
Hummm... That's funny, i was under the impression the Cannabis Discussion page has consistently displayed a "wall of shame" over the years, on the contrary. On another hand we must take care to account that my comment is about chosen title formulations which i often found clearly provocative if not abusive in some cases. To be honest there were occasions where bold controversial statements passed by as a question no sweat, etc. At least i can tell the titles ain't always as inviting as yours today, if it can help with eventual apprehensions as you read further...
I thought it might be nice to start a thread for those of us that are having success.
Oh, i had success all right. The only thing is i can't share the fun of it. Now, if i think of it somewhat further then lets just mention that my TinyPic and Cannabis -dot- Com content (or disapearance of it) started to reflect some huge swap of status, double with some sudden/peculiar interest, apparently related to content published elsewhere on yet another system: after being subjected to a cyber attack under the excuse that i'd be a "spammer" some huge amounts of experiences and other texts/images were rendered even less valuable to the "community" than this already was, thanks to all sorts of troll techniques, etc. Euh... But i had success nonetheless, it's only a matter of facing yet another form of blockade, this time not even allowing people to know/learn about it, hence i'd warmly recommend taking a peek at it right here before my externally-hosted picture all disapeared:
%)
...help a few people remove the 'boogieman' from their mind.
In my own personal case this symbolic "boogieman" used to come from non-consumers but i can see signs of it even within the pro-cannabic on-line "community" since it gave rise to socio-toxic content it can no longer blame the bigots for. I'm thinking of the vaporizer market in particular, as i ended up having to solve my problem(s) alone, isolated and at great expense while facing more than my fair share of grouped adversity. Etc., whatever. So, yes i was successful scaring the boogieman away but there's a risk for those who are unique in the whole universe for the "gift" of "seeing" what the rest of creation does not... Now i'm not confident it can really be called "success" anymore, when viewed at a distance it's certainly more like a bad joke (of destiny?) i think!
But if you need a tool to chase the boogieman, m'well... Maybe i've got what the jobs requires. No strings attached.
...I just stopped and I have no craving to drink any longer.
Hummm... That's quite a bit radical, hence it won't appeal as a solution for a majority of persons i believe. In any case i can find an indirect link with what i'd point a finger at myself: the method of consumption. In the alcohol world there are those who walk around with 1 glass of it, others carry an entire bottle/flask, hiding more in strategic spots around just "to be safe", etc... In contrast i consider it's totally realistic to design/conceive our consumption method in order to promote a healthier lifestyle that was only an ellusive mirage so far. I'm thinking of Dry-Baking Ovenizers selling hundreds of dollars only to end up with irritated airways for a lack of proper designer considerations for what i came to identify as the Release/Transport Agent essentially. These torture devices make us wait long minutes after the elitist paraphernalia performing its task, while some of us as myself cumulate unseen deficits until it's time to pay the (hidden/delayed) bill. Etc., etc.
M'well, there was a time of craving with smoking hachish and even with Dry-Baking Ovenizers as well, then there's today and i'm not going back! Alcohol doesn't require drinkers to hold the bottle anymore than "we" have to abuse cannabis in terms of dosage, having no comparable means as a glass. At least i can testify that balloons ain't really about self-awareness and moderation at all, it recenters one's universe around fancy/expen$ive hardware during long minutes which are lost while that time could have been rendred so much more creative - or at least less self-destructive - because that's what abuse often imposes as a conclusion... Hence the need for "metered" toker consumption methods, ideally. E. G. without a "locomotive" effect that invites to engage into an over-consumption loop until the oven baked everything deep, etc. After that there's possibly even more craving ahead, this time from money spent over time-bomb forms of abuse which are still with us as nobody seems to care for the whole matter in its true globality, that i wish could be examined under the "collective" microscope, on planet Itnoc!...
...my dose is about 15% of what it was (70mg/day now).
Oh, then i want to read more about your prefered method of consumption, evidently! Also, have you considered adjusting the CBD/THC ratio??
Maybe a few other people have some success they could post here.
In theory i've developped the concept for a
weapon of mass seduction that might wery well happen to save the lost/statistically-ellusive children of planet Itnoc...
Itnoc! Itnoc! Itnoc!
{ Can't use the slogan often enough! } Itnoc! 8(
Euh...
...via indirect ways which must necessarily pass through adults and with their full willing participation - which is why mass seduction is needed precisely. Because if it's less than a solution capable of killing rolling paper inventaries then we're just wasting more time and effort. The offer has to be genuine, real, fair/honest, etc. I reason that after a couple successive generations of responsible (self-aware) *ADULTS* finally chosen to make the transition to paper-less/combustion-less consumption methods, *
FREELY*, then the goal of no cannabis for kids shall become significantly less ideologic in a real world.
Our self-serving politicians pretend it can/will work to cheat using their short-cut brutal manners instead, doing no durable good on the long run as it's a well known fact children emulate adults and hence if one really wants to help with cannabis then it sould be by starting to remove all of the vilification that piled up since the Victorian age, by reversing a decades-old THC-centric culture for example, etc., etc. While in reality the "Harm" of "Mari-Caca" orgininates from those who like to blame "us" for it, after making a dime out of a "sin" industry.
Etc.
Anyway if i happened to succeed opening the window on an alternative perspective then i'll (have to...) be satisfied with this "success" alone!
Good day, have fun!!
