    i like smoking it, eating is a good high, full body mellow, but sour stomach. i've tried many forms of digesting it, milk, butter, alcoholic tincature applyed to lolly pops, Nothing like a MJ lollipop while walking around disney world.

    I just wish I could gauge (gage?) (yes, I'm high :mrgreen: ) how eating it would affect me vs smoking it.

    I've tried a vaporizer too, but it didn't seem to do anything.

    Vaporizing has done nothing for me as well. Eating it is a whole different realm. :mrgreen:

    Eating it has been the best and worst experiences for me. Too little is a waste, too much a few times made me very ill and just right was very, very nice!

    i'd have to agree with this, I find it very amusing that republicans or conservatives or whatever you want to call them are so anti government and anti regulation except when it comes to the things they don't like. so stay out of my money making business, and stay away from my guns, but oh wait the government needs to stop people from doing drugs and the government needs to stop gay marriage. the government needs to stop all the things I disagree with and stay far far away from the things I do believe in. as far as the god thing goes, if I had to guess I would say the Christian point would be either it was put here by god to test our faith or it was put here by the devil and you are evil if you use it.

    8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world [...]
    16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
    18 Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial [...]
    20 [...] he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, 21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. 23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.

    I love my vaporizer.


    I don't partake that often, but when I do, vaporizing is the best, fastest and cleanest option. I'm also a runner so smoking isn't an option as it kills my lungs!

    I also work in cancer research for a pharmaceutical company. In my many years of experience one of the best drugs cancer patients can take is pot. One product that relieves pain, stimulates hunger, relieves anxiety, and makes you feel good.
    A couple puffs with virtually no bad side effects vs...
    a pill to relieve pain
    a pill such as Marinol to trigger appetite
    an anti-anxiety pill
    All having varying degrees of nasty side effects.
    Hmmmm....

    Thanks to both of you for this thought! it's good to know that others feel the same as I do on this subject.

    I can't even believe there are still articles like this to post (or that someone would post it in the apparent context that he agrees... if I'm wrong about that part, sorry. Haven't read the whole thread).
    Alcohol is legal and pot isn't? That's one of the most illogical things of all time, and it proves that pot laws have NOTHING to do with the safety or health of people.... I am going to have a couple puffs from my pipe right now, just to spite that article. :lol:

    Not to speak for GF but I think in this context from what I've read of him, he's of the live-and-let-live philosophy.

    (and I'm gonna join you on the puffery. Salut!)
