Do you smokers experience any memory or concentration problems when not high? And do you experience any psychosis? How is you cardiovascular fitness? Just wondering, it is what scares me from trying weed.

No problems with concentration or memory. No psychosis. My heart was bad years before I started smoking weed. It's purely my genetics. Weed has not made it any worse.
I forgot to say I am on 30g of Lexapro. Internet pages say the drug has no interaction with weed although if I suffer anxiety it can induce a panic attack if you try weed.

No problems with concentration or memory. No psychosis.
What about your lung health? Are you fit enough to work out (i.e. cycling, running)?

Have smoked almost daily for the last 40-or-so years. Mind is sharp (usually, but not always! ...chalk it up to life in general) - but I kick ass at work, and (mostly) as a human being - fuck knows we all have our shortcomings...AND have used post-its as reminders for a long time. No problems with concentration. Other than when life pushes its head in to the norm, in a hard way. Just gotta deal with the blows and it can be pretty tough when blindsided.
Cardio? For me, success on that front equals hitting the bowl and not coughing up a lung
Really, if you don't feel it's for you, don't. Me and mine, it is, has been, SO much better than other meds with mindfucking side-effects prescribed freely and without second thought FROM OUR DOCTORS. Those to whom we have entrusted our care? Nah, fuck you who put yourselves ahead of those you should be treating. Bless those who really do see and care and act upon their obligations to their patients. This latter group I love and am humbled by.
So, we'll go with what we know. I will take the green or crystallized or lovely purple as the case may be (that's what she said).
I'm not fit enough to do either of those activities but that is a lifestyle choice. I don't exercise because I don't like to. I used to cycle 4-5 nights a week but it just became a big pain in the ass. Your lungs will be fine.

Thanks for sharing. My cousin smokes daily and says it helps him with his mood. We should be similar genetically so hopefully it won't affect me.

Depends on what you like to do..if you want to melt into the couch and drool on yourself smoke indica...if you want to have a high energy buzz and get shit done smoke sativa..
Medical reasons Indica is great for body pain or you want to sleep. You will also melt into the couch while still awake as Wma mentioned. Sativas are great for getting shit done or social activities. On cleaning day in the house I down a red bull and then smoke some. Throw some loud music on and that chore actually becomes fun in a weird way. If you are not sure what to get start with a hybrid between the two. You will get a little of both effects together.

I'm betting that they just keep adding six months to it every time it gets to within a year. Oh, and a lot of the smaller towns are zoning it so that pot shops will only be permitted in "adult" districts.

TA, I've been smoking for about 5 years now and my cardio fitness is the same (wasn't great to begin with). I have ADD so concentration has always been an issue but the weed hasn't made it any worse. It works wonders on my anxiety and pain and overall mood. My one suggestion is that you make sure you're in a safe, relaxed place and state of mind when you try it for the first time. Make sure you have what you need (snacks, drinks, whatever) before you start. And today's weed is very potent so a little goes a long way. But go for it. It truly is a gift.
I forgot to say I am on 30g of Lexapro. Internet pages say the drug has no interaction with weed although if I suffer anxiety it can induce a panic attack if you try weed.
Dude, cos' you can't be high all day all the time, your anxiety will not go away if you self-medicate. When the high is over, it often comes right on back. You need to get in your own head and do the work - not layer it with THC. I recommend you invest in counseling and learn to re-wire your brain to think (and therefore feel) less anxious. Good luck my Australian brother!
and to answer your question, yes, if you have anxiety issues, a THC overdose from today's potent weed could trigger a terrible panic attack. I've seen a steady uptick of these in my practice the past 5 years or so. Honestly, you run a risk having never used it before because you have no idea what your tolerance is and because you have no clue what is in your weed (assuming you don't have weed 'baristas' in AUS), you run the risk of smoking other nasty shit than can trigger issues. Not trying to be all high (no pun intended) and mighty here - just sharing another side of things.
2 feign is right. You have to be careful. Especially if you're getting it off the street. I'm spoiled with my medical weed but there's some nasty shit out there.
I haven't seen any here in AZ. But maybe. They keep coming up with new stuff all the time. The soda was great except I didn't check the dosage and chugged the entire bottle and smoked so I got way too stoned. I was going in for waxing and was staring up at the ceiling seeing colors the whole time. Took me back to my acid days.
just got the best news. 30% the entire menu @ my local dispensary til February 14, 2016 https://www.soctwellness.com/our-menu/todays-menu/ If I had waited and didn't go Friday, I coulda saved $150. My sister is gonna be pissed that she gotta go back again for me.

Also love how the strain names make their ways across the states. Several of those mentioned are offered at my dispensary, which shall be visited before the weekend.

Thanks dude. It's illegal here. I am too scared to seek it out but if I'm at a party and not driving I want to try.
