Turns out my CRS is a symptom of TMB.

A recent study seems to show that marijuana induces remission in Crohn's disease. Not just alleviation of pain, but a significant reduction in symptoms.
I never did drugs as a youngster - I never saw the need as I am satisfied with reality. But anything that reduces the affect of this disease will probably help me live a bit longer. I'll wait for other studies before jumping on the bandwagon. But I have a question for you all. The study says that they smoked twice a day for eight weeks. What affect, if any, is that likely to have on my cognition, ambition, etc.?

Similar story to your own, my 'country Uncle' (who had always thought of pot-smokers as long haired scumbag losers) was encouraged by his doctor is rural Texas to try this 'alternative medicine' solution--to lessen some chronic symptoms he was living with. He is a major proponent now, and that's a big deal. Because he was totally anti, before.

If you're the type that's always got something going on, always got an iron in a fire somewhere, you'll find it'll be easier to do that, too. Probably. Everyone reacts differently, of course. You will have an increased appetite, especially for really good stuff, you know, junk food, munchies, that sort of thing. I find that I cook larger, more complicated meals when I'm high. And, oh, the plans you'll make. You might not carry any of them out, but, oh, the plans!

Possession of a firearm during a drug offense gets the feds' attn. Minimum/mandatory 1st offense: 5 yrs/fed pen. I think you add five for each subsequent drug/firearm offense.
ETA: I almost spent several yrs in PA, but, got lucky and got put somewhere closer to home.

My recommendation is, if you're going to do the stuff, ask for 'Mexican schwag' --i.e. what pot was in the 70s.

Increase in potency only means you need less dose to be effective. Smoke 70s mexican and you just ruin your lungs in the process. Consult your personal musician.

well, of course the nsa's activities are enabling the dea.
and of course people are getting fired for casual use. They're not the same thing. The first case, the dea availing themselves of information illegally obtained, which I cannot prove but wholeheartedly believe, is one illegal act. The second case, is more nuanced. There are relatively few places and cases where "casual" use is legal, and until the new laws in WA and CO were enacted, medical marijuana was the only "legal" way to use, casually or otherwise. And that was fraught with peril for the user. This change in the laws in WA and CO *and* this announcement by the feds represents a giant increase in the population and range of circumstances in which casual use can be considered "legal". That's why I said it's a big, big deal. The whole "war on drugs" has been in place for a long time and has accreted a great deal of power and money and momentum. It won't be changed/stopped or declared victorious or defeated with any one step, only with lots of steps. Even these laws were the fruit of lots of small acts. The end of prohibition began somewhere, but haltingly. Same thing here.
