I love as this news spread, all the "but i need it for my pain/depression/etc/etc!, its the only thing that helps!" types are now just straight up basically saying they don't give a fuck about anything it does but the high.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Just like I know the type of responses I'm gonna get from the outed potheads and addicts.
Potheads and addicts? Holy shit, is it still 1990 and you’ve got some weird fucking prejudice against how other people choose to spend their time or how they medicate themselves? Oh boy…
You invite the circus when you put the clown mask on.
I dont care what you do in your own home.
But potheads, like vegans, cant just contain it to their own home and shut up about it. They gotta make sure everyone, everywhere, in every fucking conversation, knows about what they do.
And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is "NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH", which is exactly what addicts would say.
lmao vegans and pot heads, oh no! ur a funny one
A lot of these comments are jokes, and poke at our for profit healthcare in the states.
vegans AND potheads, oh man, best joke in here is yours tho
You are shadowboxing lol. I see orders of magnitude more people complaining about vegans with little to no prompting than I see any vegans saying they are vegan.
What kind of naïve person makes grandiose claims of others, while also unfairly aggregating them to the grouping of your own subjective, unflattering, and inaccurate images of them? You’re basically inventing these people, potheads and vegan, to make a dumb point about how some people like to talk about their personal choices a lot. Whoopty doo, you dweeb.
You know what’s funny? Aside from the fact that I’m mentioning it now, I consume a grotesque volume of cannabis. Truly grotesque, I promise more than whatever you’re thinking. I don’t bring it up, though, ever. Why? Because I’m an actual human being, as opposed to whatever fantasy you’ve got going on up there.
No it’s not. Please, for the love of god, do good research and get that stuff. That’s great for children, people who don’t want to be high, and people who can’t be high (e.g., on the clock) but still need the medicine.
I still want to get high, though. There’s nothing wrong with that. The issue is with you, if you have a problem with that.
sure buddy.
You are the one who brought up vegens in a conversation about pot. But sure, keep telling that yourself.
Sure buddy.
I bet you're a riot at parties, huh.
If you're going to go for the personal attack, could you at least be entertaining with it? This is something a 14 year old would regurgitate 30 years ago.
Oh sorry, I thought I'd try for something a moron would understand. I didn't want to use too many big words and confuse you.
Next time try lowering the bar to something a moron can actually produce instead of worrying about other people 👍
So you want me to reduce my not-so-complex insult to something a moron would produce so you can think you're winning an arguing with a moron?
Fuck, you're smart hey.
You tried so hard on that one, didnt you?
God, you're a fucking loser, aren't you. I'm just going to block you for my sanity. Holy shit.
Projection at its finest, and the typical response when they cant provoke the response they want to fuel that personal victimhood
Rage bait.
Used one without the high. Worked beautifully. Too expensive in the long run. But really appreciated it. Dont want the high at all. It had no side effects. Just gentle pain relief. Bliss.
@Timonesaysno I love the high from cannabis, but that doesn’t mean that I want it necessarily in all situations. Like for instance, on Friday night I randomly got nauseous, and the only thing I had was my THC vape. Well, I didn’t care, because we were having fun anyway, I may not have been able to get away with that is easily outside of a chill situation, such as a softball game, which is where I was last night.
If I'm in chronic pain then I'm going to want to be high too. Nothing wrong with being high in your own house.
-I don't even like weed. The high just feels like taking benedryl to me.
It would be better to have both as an option.
