The drugs thread - marijuana, tobacco, caffeine, cigarettes et al

Hello all,

If I may present myself on the floor of the FFF RWED crowd as a test subject, I'd like to chime in on the effects of, and the effects of being off of sweet Mary Jane.

Up until almost a year ago mid march of 2011, I had probably smoked pot 300 days a year or more.

I finally, reluctantly, cleaned myself up when I knew the job I could probably get with my contacts had a hair follicle policy (6 months positive, at least).



The first 5 years I was on pot, I was obsessive and compulsive. These five years were about mindless partying. If I didn't have a party to go to or friends who wanted to go to a bar, I was lost. This was worst during winter storms when nobody wanted to go out. My only other obsession those days were going to the gym to put on weight. In 2 years, I went from a 130lb 5'7" weakling to a 200lb brick shit house.

The second 5 years I was on pot, I completely threw out the bodybuilding and partying and all but completely isolated myself outside of contact with people at work and I obsessively saved my money after moving out of state for a great job. I also obsessively worked on an online community gaming project (a maker, not a player) that would make your head spin if you knew the time put into it when I wasn't at work and how much we got done.

Now.... One year off pot. I obsessively work on my rehab project house. (Having lost most of my beer gut is just an awesome side effect to not smoking pot and the actions my current obsession make me take on a daily basis).



The only real difference these days while off pot is I probably drink a lot more beer to compensate for the lack of it.




Not that I remember much before the pot daze, but I know that when I was a little kid, I obsessively played Atari after school (other kids were probably doing homework, but I got that all done before school was over). And years after Nintendo came out and we still didn't have one, I would dream about Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3 before we finally had one.




My personal opinion of pot?

It's a wash....

I was f'd up on it, for sure....

But I'm f'd up off it now....

And I was f'd up before I even knew what it was.


Not much has changed.



In the end though, I have to give the final thumbs up to the pro-pot crowd.

Why?

Have you ever had an orgasm?


Well...

Have you ever had an orgasm on WEED man?

I mention this because, I knew for a long time that my heart Dr. is a pill pusher.
When I discovered that he's also a pusher of unneeded stents, I quit him.

Eventho I know so little compared to a Dr., I still have to be responsible.

I don't trust ANYBODY who would prescribe man-made toxins (poisons) before looking at weed first as an alternative.

  NADH = nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a liver enzyme.

  For those addicted to cigarettes and with any symptoms of
  niacin deficiency, I believe a NADH supplement can be helpful.

  I stopped smoking shortly after I began taking it ... in 2002.

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.
