Tramadol is horrendously addictive. I “sat” with someone trying to get off it… And as you know with some odd side effects. Every time I went to OPD re the wrist they have me something different for pain so I knew a lot when I finished,Tramadol is a very mild synthetic opioid, its usually the first thing pain management doctors will give to someone, I used it for a few years, it did work OK at first, but after time my tolerance built up and I even blacked out a few times from it.
And really codeine is not a strong opioid, There are MUCH stronger meds, like Oxycontin, MS Contin, Oxymorphone (opana), these were the pain pills most abused here in the US, at one time a single Oxycontin 80 mg sold for $130. on the street.
Medically is a different topic altogether,I’m wondering to myself how many who are strongly opposed to marijuana ever tried it. I used it medically and found that it greatly reduced stress and emotional distress. There was also a longitudinal study done at UCLA that found that those who experimented with drugs for a short period of time were more well-balanced as adults than those who never experimented. I’m in no way suggesting that people use marijuana, but merely want to say that it has some good effects, as well as some negative effects. To be honest, those who never used pot should say so, and admit that it may have some beneficial effects. If I ever had another severe panic attack, I would not hesitate to vape it until the panic subsided.
Even using it recreationally has some important positive effects such as reducing aggression. From past experiences, I would much rather be around people high on pot than drunkards.Medically is a different topic altogether,
I do not find that argument relevant or convincing!Even using it recreationally has some important positive effects such as reducing aggression. From past experiences, I would much rather be around people high on pot than drunkards.
I will tell you what I observed over a couple decades about pot.Even using it recreationally has some important positive effects such as reducing aggression. From past experiences, I would much rather be around people high on pot than drunkards.
Yes, I would have to agree that it has a tendency to deaden some inhibitions, but seldom to the degree that it would lead to something physically harmful, such as a fist fight. The disinhibition is much more likely to be something like becoming sexually promiscuous. This can be seen as a negative outcome of pot.I will tell you what I observed over a couple decades about pot.
It deadens inhibitions. A group of weed takers came to my house many years ago and brought with them an infant who should have been in diapers. Instead, he was allowed to do his business anywhere as he did in their own place of residence and probably any place they took him. Related to that is denial that this substance cannot be harmful (since it feels good). Such an attitude does lead to other more potent drugs.
I know of a person who had severe depression most likely from his over indulgence. The unmetabolized substances accumulate in the liver. So years later, one can have effects.
All in all, it is bad except like opioids, that should be regulated for medical purposes ONLY.
Water leaves harmlessly. Inconvenient but that is all . And you were not talking OVER indulgence but indulgence.Yes, I would have to agree that it has a tendency to deaden some inhibitions, but seldom to the degree that it would lead to something physically harmful, such as a fist fight. The disinhibition is much more likely to be something like becoming sexually promiscuous. This can be seen as a negative outcome of pot.
Over indulgence is always a problem, but this goes for many things, including water.
Thanks. Wise and experienced words,I will tell you what I observed over a couple decades about pot.

A wise lady told me many years ago, “You pay to learn”.Thanks. Wise and experienced words,
Indeed yes. Love costs whether love of people or love of God. I have aged and matured this last while at tremendous cost; still paying. But accepting the maturity and the wisdom also has a high cost.A wise lady told me many years ago, “You pay to learn”.
In other words, knowledge doesn’t come except with a price.
Some people can age, but it doesn’t guarantee wisdom or maturity.
I’ll address this to you since you seem to understand.Indeed yes. Love costs whether love of people or love of God. I have aged and matured this last while at tremendous cost; still paying. But accepting the maturity and the wisdom also has a high cost.

Stress, emotional distress, panic attacks…? It sounds to me like your problems are psychological in nature. Fix the root of the problem and you’ll no longer feel the need to get “baked.” That is, unless you really enjoy getting high.I’m wondering to myself how many who are strongly opposed to marijuana ever tried it.

Now you’re talking about overindulging. It does not take a genius to say that such use will likely lead to negative outcomes. But even the overindulging of plain water will have negative outcomes. Again, legalizing marijuana will likely have some positive effects and some negative effects.Your logic is faulty/incomplete.
You compare people who’ve never tried drugs to those who experimented, BUT YOU IGNORED the group who became regular and frequent users, maybe even addicted the the various drugs.
You should really compare those who never inhaled with those who ’get baked’ daily. Only this comparison would provide useful insights.
No kidding!!! I do not use pot!!!Stress, emotional distress, panic attacks…? It sounds to me like your problems are psychological in nature. Fix the root of the problem and you’ll no longer feel the need to get “baked.” That is, unless you really enjoy getting high.
Plain water? Please explain!Now you’re talking about overindulging. It does not take a genius to say that such use will likely lead to negative outcomes. But even the overindulging of plain water will have negative outcomes. Again, legalizing marijuana will likely have some positive effects and some negative effects.
Agree totally. ALways though there are those who just will not believe fire burns unless they get burned and they are then scarred for life.I’ll address this to you since you seem to understand.
I think the law should protect people from making mistakes that can have long term severe consequences. This was the basis, I believe for restrictions against abortion and drug use. It’s not that young people without experience should try something known to be harmful and it’s their own lookout if it turns out to be devastating.
No, that’s where collective wisdom comes in, or should.
