So educate me, does anyone else see a problem with developing a daily habit? When does it become a problem?
I'm all for legalization and taxation. But I need to understand why using it daily is any different than smoking or using alcohol daily...which to me seems like a very bad idea.hippiemom = goodness0 -

I wouldn't plan a trip around it, by the way, as my days of traveling are pretty much overBut, I would freak out at not having immediate relief (or even partial relief). I'll take it over standard pain meds any day, though I understand it doesn't work for all. I'm thankful that for now, for me, it does.

Alcohol is one of the only substances that creates a withdrawal so harsh that it could be deadly for those with major addictions, and also has very negative health effects in the long run. We all know the dangers of cigarettes at this point (if not, you are naive).
Sure, there are some caveats that come if people abuse it or feel they “need” it, but the same could be said with junk food or even sex for that matter. I’ve met a fair number of people that seek those things out everywhere they go as well. It becomes a problem if they cannot function without it or it starts to affect their life in a negative way.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

The answer I would give you, and it's the most common one you will get is that I don't give a shot what you do every day if you handle your shit. You can drink, smoke, jerk, eat, whatever you want, however often you want. It's only a problem when it causes negative effects in your life and you become unsure on the benefit/detriment balance.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

I'm more in line with it should never have been illegal, to begin with. So I have no problem with people continuing to get their Cannabis from their dealers. I myself have no intention of buying government weed. I continue to go the medicinal route.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
And even then...I don't really give a shit lol
There are some big differences in the physical and psychological dependency of marijuana as compared to other substances like alcohol. I'm not interested in going into that, because I know doctors and lawyers and academics that function just fine on daily doses of various substances with various dependence characteristics.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Thanks for the answers. I certainly get traveling and planning in some from time to time. Heck I've taken trips with friends to locations specifically to hit craft breweries. I just kinds wondered about the daily need to use...seemed potentially dangerous. Dangerous is not the right word...but potentially concerning?
Anyhow, thanks again for your perspectives.hippiemom = goodness0 -

I think anything that someone feels they absolutely have to do every day to function, and which causes distress if they can't do it, can potentially indicate a problem (with the exception of eating, breathing, sleeping, etc.). Not definitely, but it can mean there's something there for that person to pay a bit of attention to, to make sure their eyes are wide open.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

5 large scale medicinal marijuana greenhouses are opening 20 minutes from my door, the council will be considering another 9 in the future. At least they are keeping the medicinal Cannabis supplied.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

Marijuana is like so many other things that we can (and many do) become addicted to. Of this list, I can think of two that I indulge in that are not at all a problem to me or for me. Guess which two:SugarTVMarijuanaBeing on a smart or cell phone frequentlyMusicAlcoholVideo gamesNarcotics"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Hahaha love it Brian, marijuana and music.
Use to your heart's content! Add books! That's a healthy addiction too!

I’ve got my staff in tears. People are calling and actually making threats against police," he told the Springfield News-Leader.

Applied for medical card on Friday. Weird process in Maryland. You have to register online, pay $50 for your card up front. Takes about 4-6 to process your application at which time you only get a registration number. Then you have 90 days to see a doctor who will certify you, most of whom charge another $100 because they all do it on the side of their actual practice. And there are only a handful of doctors who you can even see for certification.

Sounds like a cash grab. In Canada, you print a registration form off the supplier's website that you have chosen to buy your medicinal Cannabis from, have your dr fill the form out and fax over to the supplier, 24 hours later patients are usually able to buy. At this point, all medicinal is mailed to you...It's a pretty smooth process. Before this process, it was similar to yours. You had to get a form from health Canada, have DR. fill out and send into health Canada, wait 90-120 days for certification...
I was never under the health Canada rules, my cousin was, he is involved in a class action lawsuit against Health Canada for breaching patients privacy...
The new system that eliminated the Health Canada system is excellent...Give Peas A Chance…0 -
