    Yes, jagossel will understand the message it was just a simple thanks to him for alerting me to a potential problem on my BBS.

    To quote an old sysop from of mine from a message he posted on his BBS RW>years ago: "I hear there is a cure for that now." :)

    More like: "Overmedicated?? We have a prescription for that"!! :P

    Isn't that the truth these days. It seems like there is a perscription for J>anything.

    I saw a cartoon (and it may be true), that showed 2 pharmaceutical
    company workers...one male, and one female.

    The female said "If we could find a cure for [insert illness here],
    we'd be the greatest thing since sliced bread".

    Her male co-worker growls "By NOT finding a cure for [insert illness
    here], that's how we can continue to butter our bread".

    Apparently, some drugs you can get overseas for much cheaper than in
    North America...all because of "Big Pharma".

    Jeff Foxworthy has a video on YouTube, entitled "Prescription Side
    Effects". He correctly notes several things:

    1) When I was growing up, there were only 2 things in the medicine
    cabinet -- aspirin, and Camphophenique.

    2) They've made us a bunch of paranoid nuts, with all these
    prescription medicines.

    3) More than half the time, the side effects from the prescriptions are
    50 times worse than what they're designed to threat!!

    Indeed, several medicines indicate that "side effects may include
    death". WTH??!!

    The video is at:

    Yea, it would seem like that is the case here: why cure it and not have returning customers when you can mask the symptoms and have them coming back.

    I agree: Jeff Foxworthy is on point for all of those perscription commercials that we see. The drug is supposed to adress the ailment, but one of the side effects is the ailment; what's the point then?

    I did notice that the FDA will not approve natural "suppliments", and it wouldn't surprise me that they are lobbied against.

    I get you have to make money and recoupe the cost of research, and I am an Enterpriser: believing in making money and that (to upset a lot of people
    here, now) enterprises and companies are an important and crucial part of the economy, but let's be ethical about it and do what's right.

    I remember one time I had a muscle spasm in my lower right back, I went to urgent care. The doctor on duty wanted me to take a shot and perscribe me with muscle relaxers. I had a bad experience with muscle relaxers (my wife got drugged by someone else in her family when she was in a lot of pain when she was pregnant with our son [unbeknownst to us she was pregnant]). So, I asked for alternatives, and the doctor annoyingly replied: just put an ice pack on it for a couple of days. After urgent care, I went to the chiropractor and massage therapist the next day, was pain free after a couple of days from the adjustment and massage.

    My thing was (and still is): let's address the root cause, not mask it.

    Yes, that's a worry. :( I don't take anything from Big Pharma on a regular basis, and even the basic painkillers are something I'd average taking once every few years. But I do joke that I take large doses of iron and speed for mental health. Iron is found at the gym, and speed on the track. :)

    Side effects are mostly pretty good. Sure, there is a risk of soreness or even muscle injury (especially if taken improperly), but the most common side effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increased energy levels, more youthful looks, various strange reactions from friends (from amazement to thinking you're crazy!) and even turning heads in one's 40s and later. :D

    Yep, I'd have definitely gone to the massage therapist first, possibly a chiropractor, if needed. :) Being heavily into sport, I've had my share of muscular issues, and know what works (rarely, is it a product from Big Pharma), most commonly, self care and massage works well.

    I've considered getting such done, because I have a lot of muscle spasms...and hope the masseuse is a good looking female. ;)

    I did have an MRI of my neck, and an EMG (electric nerve conductivity
    test) a few years ago...due to twitching and burning in my arms and
    hands. Because of the 2 indirect lightning strikes at 3 and 16 years of
    age, I do have nervous system damage. But, I don't have multiple
    sclerosis or Lou Gehring's disease...and they weren't ready to declare
    it as fibromyalgia (my in-laws and my Mom have it). The pain though, may
    be entirely from arthritis, which is throughout my body...and there's no
    cure for that.

    I've had so many positive experiences from massage therapy. Get this. I was in a Drug Rehab program because I had an issue with opiates.

    there was a lady who needed to log so many hours befor being able to open a practice for herself, I believe thats the way it went. Well the first one did'nt quite work becakse she did'nt put enough pressure on me.

    The second on though, she lowered the table, and after finishing I felt like a walking marshmellow whome needed a drink of water, but I did'nt have a single pop in my neck or joints for about a month or so. she did such a great job..

    would hav ekept going back but I graduated the treatment program, now she has received all her hours and has moved somwhere out to the midwest :(

    Amazing enough a neurologist suggested that my mother pick up butter bur root for migraines, and amazing enough, in her it worked.

    and there are also plenty of other herbs out there that make excellent medicones for many things, hell thats what they're there for.

    Even my DOG know this.. I'll take him for walks and every once in a blue moon he will eat only ONE certail type of grass, and will only eat the top half of it. Vets call this "Pika" I believe and say that they do this because they are bored... I call bullshit.. he only does it when he has a stomach ache and it helps hime to either use the bathroom or vomit.

    My dog is a rescue beagle who has seizures so from tim to time he does get sick.. it don't matter what diet he's own.

    massages are pretty good. go to an asian one because white people are more expensive and they suck at it.

    get a half an hour and get someone to drive you home because you might be shakey. massages release a lot of toxins.

    i had an hour and a half massage on my birthday and that was too much for me. i got a bad headache and i was shivering.

    Just have to find one who works for you. That's an individual thing. I tend to need someone with a fair bit of strength in their hands, or who knows how to use elbows for more pressure, to penetrate to the deeper layers of muscle.

    Never touched opiates, but I do have a lot of positive experience with massage.
    These days, I use massage as part of my overall maintenance, to counteract the effects of the stresses of training and competition. It helps that one of the members in my athletics club is also a practicing massage therapist, so he gives me a club member discount, and he also knows most of what I do, since we're competing together most weekends (albeit in different events).

    Yeah, I'm one who needs a fair bit of pressure, otherwise it feels like they're doing nothing. It's tended to be moselt males who have worked best for me, though not exclusively, it depends how strong the person is (especially in their hands) and how they use that. There is one local woman who definitely has the right hands, she did a little work on a bad shoulder, but it was only a few minutes, because I had to go to work, and I saw her in passing after a yoga class. Would go back, except she shut up shop not long after. :(

    The second on though, she lowered the table, and after finishing I felt like a walking marshmellow whome needed a drink of water, but I did'nt have a single pop in my neck or joints for about a month or so. she did such a great job..

    Now that's an awesome massage! :)

    Bummer, it's always bad when someone who massages you well moves away or shuts up shop. :(

    Even my DOG know this.. I'll take him for walks and every once in a blue moon he will eat only ONE certail type of grass, and will only eat the top half of it. Vets call this "Pika" I believe and say that they do this because they are
    bored... I call bullshit.. he only does it when he has a stomach ache and it helps hime to either use the bathroom or vomit.

    I also call BS. When I was a kid, a neighbor's dog would do the same thing
    and it, too, would them vomit. It also did not do it all the time...
    prolly just after us kids fed it something that didn't agree with it. :O

    I've considered getting such done, because I have a lot of muscle spasms...and hope the masseuse is a good looking female. ;)

    Remember, the body has many possible natural reactions to the process. :D

    It might not matter to me. I "got my wings clipped" 14 years ago,
    after having chicken pox 37 years ago, that put me in the hospital for a
    week, and out of work and college for 2 months.

    Then, I was working around nasty solvents like methyl ethyl ketone in silkscreen printing for over 18 years.

    Now, with kidney/bladder stone removal surgery, and partial prostate
    removal, I likely have E.D. (and I don't mean "electronic doofus" <G>),
    and retrograde ejaculation.

    But, since I don't ever plan on getting married again, and can't
    father a child anyway (I never had children, and have been a widower for
    over 10 years now), that's the least of my worries.

    That's like the joke of in the desert, of how you make an 8 day camel
    out of a 7 day camel.

    Camels normally can go without water for 7 days, but this one guy
    needs a camel for 8 days. The Camelot Owner (I know...bad pun) takes the customer to the area where the camels are "fueling up"...slurping up the
    water. The 8 day camels look like the 7 day ones, so the customer says
    "What's the difference??".

    After the camel has apparently swigged all the water he needs for 7
    days, the owner takes 2 bricks, goes to the back of the camel, and slams
    them into the camel's testicles...to which the camel takes another super
    swig of water...8 days worth!!

    The customer asks "Doesn't that hurt??"...and the owner replies
    "Not unless you put your fingers between the bricks"!! :P

    No, it's not unusual to only take aspirin or paracetamol. Thankfullly, I never needed to go beyond aspirin either. Granted, I have days to were I have neck pain so bad that it gives me a headache. Other days, my lower right back muscles tense up, feeling pretty close to another spasm.

    I do my best to fight through the pain, but there's a point to where it's too much to handle and just start to feel sick.

    I recently found that a slight adjustment in my pillows help prevent or lessen the neck pain; now I just got break the habit of sleeping in a twisted position.

    Exactly right.. doctors who tell you its the only course of treatment they can offer, get you strung out on them then drop you off of them with no warning or without weening you off of them.. it happens too much and is screwing too many lives up.. it has taken away the prime years of my life.

    Yeah, I think I failed to mention that my dog is a beagle, he's a picky eater, but if he gets a chance to get into something he likes, he will eat until he lying in the floor on his back like a stuffed pig.. I know its not good.. but it's kinda funny in a way.. so when he goes to eating certain grass on walks, I let him.. "PIka" sounds like something a Millenial vet wannabe on the net made up and vets just follow up on it "NO offence to anyone ok". I cannot think of any animal ever that has eaten grass out of boredom. not just any grass mind you, the tops of certain grass.. this dog instincually knew what it needed to make itself better. and if our government gave us this power. "You know, the power of nature" we would have far less issues.

    I never thought that anyone would have classified that kind of neck pain leading up to a headache as "severe pain". One way or another, it does get pretty bad at times to where I just feel like absolute crap. Like I said, I try my best to get through it without taking any form of pain killers.

    Can't say I have'nt learned from experience though..

    I have heard that is how it starts, doctors prescribing pain killers. Then, it just goes down hill from there.

    I have heard that is how it starts, doctors prescribing pain killers. Then,


    well, a doctor has to be aware of the injury and give the right amount. and then STOP giving it.

    it just goes down hill from there. I forget the name of the documentary that I saw last year, but it was about a brother of a famous wrestler that died from opiod additictions. The documenter blamed the people for the fact that the people is into this violent entertainment business and demanding for more and more.

    well it's big money. and it's a family business. those guys give themself some serious injuries, the kind that may require taking pain medications every day.

    I never thought that anyone would have classified that kind of neck
    pain leading up to a headache as "severe pain". One way or another, it does get pretty bad at times to where I just feel like absolute crap.
    Like I said, I try my best to get through it without taking any form of pain killers.

    I'd agree totally, it is severe, but sometimes the treatment is worse than the problem. :/

    Other than that, no perscription pain killers, thankfully.

    I had a couple of wisdom teeth taken out in the chair because I can't
    handle that drug they give you to knock you out. (Recovery time for my surgerys is weeks longer because I'm fucked up for at least a week on that shit)... He offered me perc's, I didn't bother and just stuck with good old tynoel (I know that' spelt wrong).

    Did it hurt? Fuck yeah. I'm no tough guy, but I know my system and I
    have a very very addictive personality. I don't want to take chances.

    i expect other people to have atleast had pain meds once.

    Of course I have had them. Morphine in hosiptal, pec's, t3's etc. I
    choose to not have them if given a choice. (And for the record, I hate

    I don't know the precise reasons, but they're obviously under pressure to screen out people who are "faking it" to get pain meds. It's the industry's own fault, for the most part.

    I'm inclined to think we should just semi-legalize everything and let walgreens give you a shot of pure heroin at near cost, which I'm guessing for big pharma is like... $0.25... but just guessing.

    i had my wisdom teeth out, i got pain killers for that.

    When I had my 4 wisdom teeth out in 1978...and the rest of the teeth
    removed in 2000...I only took one pain pill -- the bleeding was the
    worst part of it...and I looked like a squirrel gathering nuts for
    winter.

    I've worn full dentures since 2000...my own set of "falsies". The
    latest ones I have, which I got from "Affordable Dentures", have fit SO PERFECTLY, that I have NOT had to use one drop of Poli-Grip, Fixodent,
    etc.

    Plus, they look surprisingly real, and I just wanted to be able to
    eat.

    I have placed the business into a bulletin on my BBS, giving "free advertising" to central Arkansas businesses who I've done business with
    over the years, and where I've been pleased with their services".

    If you go to the doctor for *pain* now, even if it's minor, they treat you li L>a criminal.

    My clinic participates in the Arkansas Prescription Drug Monitoring Program...ensuring "the legitimate use of controlled substances".

    My main meds are for urinary flow, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, acid reflux, fluid retention, anti-nausea, and pain
    (ibuprofen).

    When I had to have home health care a few years back, after removal of
    a large benign cyst on my left buttock, they checked the medicine
    cabinet...and did the same during apartment inspections. My view was
    "All of the meds are legally prescribed, so they can't touch me".

    That cyst was benign, but it could've become malignant (cancerous),
    because of its size. It was so deep that it had to heal from the inside out...and it took 2 months after the surgery to fully heal. My
    mother-in-law quipped that "you get to show your butt, and get it
    rubbed". <G>

    Yet, nudity means NOTHING to medical professionals...it's just another
    day at work. They've seen more genitalia and buttocks than we'll ever
    see in our lives...but, I've known people who do NOT want to go to the
    doctor, because "they don't want to be seen naked" -- like it's
    something they haven't seen??!! :P

    Then, I had another cyst in the groin area that had to be removed.
    Whether male or female, you have a whole slew of blood vessels down there...including the femoral artery, which is used during a cardiac catheterization, to see if there's any blockage, that could cause a
    fatal heart attack. I had one of those done, and while they didn't find
    any blockage, they did find high blood pressure. Anyway, if you get an
    injury down there, you can bleed to death!!

    The day before I proposed to the woman who would become my wife (she
    was already Co-Sysop on the BBS, and we had met at a gathering of local
    BBS users 30 years ago), I had come to her apartment to visit. Her
    dachshund was thrilled to see me, and rolled over for a belly rub. :)

    She asked me if I'd like to take the "weiner widget" for a walk, and I
    said "Sure!". He had one of those retractable leashes, which I think is great...let the dog go in the poop filled grass, and I'll stay on the sidewalk".

    Well, I was holding the leash in front of my groin, and that was my
    first mistake. Somehow, the leash came off the dogs collar, retracted at
    full speed, and popped me "in the jewels"...then, the dog jumped on the
    area, with a look of "Is something wrong?", while I was in agony on the
    ground.

    My girl friend (who was nicknamed "Snake", but she respected them...I
    was "Gator", as I can do "the baby alligator distress call"), realized I
    hadn't come inside, came back outside, and found on the ground with the dachshund next to me, wagging his tail. She asked "What happened??", and
    I groaned "I got attacked by a leash!!".

    She helped me inside, still in pain. I knew that males could bleed to
    death from an injury in that area...so, I embarassingly "had her take a
    look", dropping my pants and underwear in front of her. I thought she
    would drop me like a hot rock, and asked "Do you think any less of
    me??". She replied, serious as could be, "I give you credit for your
    common sense. I would've called the paramedics if I had seen blood".

    I knew, RIGHT THEN, that THIS was the woman I was going to marry. I
    figured if she wouldn't take care of me before marriage, she wouldn't
    do so afterwards.

    Every time I think of this, I get tears in my eyes. :'( While she has
    been gone over 10 years now, I have all the wonderful memories that no
    one can take away.

    It's the huge number of experiences like this out there that makes me supportive of medical cannabis. I know someone who uses CBD based products to help stabilise his mood and improve general functioning. I think he also has chronic pain, which the CBD also helps with. Sure, he's been a lifelong weed smoker, but prefers the CBD option, because it's cheaper, more effective and possible to procure and use legally.

    Still not a fan of weed, and never will be. It works for me, but I'm still not a "pot lover" the way a lot of people are.

    I'm not a fan of it for recreational use (getting high, etc), but I do believe it has many useful medical and general health benefits.

    There was a deal on one of the "reality TV courtroom shows", where
    this one woman sneezed, and sure enough, both her upper and lower
    denture plates flew out of her mouth, and to the carpet. Without missing
    a beat, she stooped down, picked them up, and put them back in her

    apparently asked "Why?", or said "No", and went back to rambling.

    claims. From what I've read it does have a lot of benefits though.
    Haven't partaken since the early '80s and while I support legalization I still probably wouldn't smoke.

    But that's the beautiful thing with modern science -- you don't have to anymore. The dispenseries will have edibles and they've also figured out how to extract the THC so you get the healing benefits without being high.

    But that's the beautiful thing with modern science -- you don't have to
    to extract the THC so you get the healing benefits without being high.

    I was living in Washington State when "recreational" marijuana became legal. You can choose exactly the strain you want. They sell oils and extracts and other things you can portion with an eye dropper, as well as edibles, and THC beverages, and little sticks of THC infused honey. I even saw a machine for heating butter to exactly the right temperature and automatically infusing it -- "just add weed" -- and THC or CBD juice for e-cigarettes. It's a lot cheaper to just buy the weed and make these things yourself though.

    We bought a CBD oil to treat our dogs anxiety on a long road trip once. That was perfectly legal until last year, I think. Now even the CBD oil needs a "prescription" (except in states with recreational).

    I only went to "the weed store" a couple of times (perfectly legal in WA, by the way) but it was pleasant and professional. You can CHOOSE to buy the stuff that gets you out of your mind and the stuff that's good for back pain and relaxation. It's a long way off from buying a dirty plastic bag of whatever your dealer has on hand...

    A family member tried the Kratom to get off of opiates deal. It was just trading one addiction for another. The withdrawal was practically as bad whe they ran out of money to buy Kratom.

    This is not from personal experience, but from what I've heard, nothing is "practically as bad" as opiate withdrawal. You can DIE from opiate withdrawal.

    When I got off kratom I had some poor sleep and muscle spasms in my left leg (only my left leg, wtf?), so it's not a joke. There's a withdrawal syndrome, definitely. The whole internet seems to disagree about how bad it is though, so people seem to have very different sensitivities to it. I thought it was a lot easier than quitting COFFEE, but your mileage may vary.

    He would talk and talk and talk and when he wasn't talking his mouth was

    set flew out and landed on the grill. When I was told about it I had to watch the CCTV feed three or four times. Couldn't stop laughing.

    alcohol withdrawl is pretty bad and you can die from it.

    Are you trying to argue with me over whether alcohol withdrawal or heroin withdrawal is worse? It's not a competition, is it?

    We bought a CBD oil to treat our dogs anxiety on a long road trip once. That was perfectly legal until last year, I think. Now even the CBD oil needs a "prescription" (except in states with recreational).

    What's weird here (in Georgia) is that even though we now have a medical marijuana law that regulates CBD, you can still buy it all over the state without a prescription card . The law went into effect in 2015 if I am
    correct. Just recently started reading up on it so I could be wrong.

    Alot of states do this now, it's still illegal federally but in alot of
    states the cbd isnt regulated by state law (included in the marijuana bill)
    so they sell it in gas stations anyway and just take a risk because the fbi probably wont raid some gas station in the hood.

    And if it the nicotine or the 4000 other chemicals that cause these health problems anyway? Sure, in high enough doses, nicotine is poisonous (which is why you don't leave ashtrays where kids can get them), and 100% nicotine is dangerous stuff indeed.

    Good point. I went the ignore route, figured it was the most appropriate for this conference. :)

    it's because you're a crazy paranoid faggot.

    There should be a Godwin's law rule that when someone attacks the poster instead of the argument, and especially when one makes a ethnic or sexual slur in response to an argument that the discussion is over.

    Come on, mro, using faggot as a personal insult went out of vogue in Junior High School.

    something for so long to eventually replace it with something much more positive. Did you quit cold turkey, patches, gum...? How long did you have your habit?

    I smoked for over 1/2 my life. Dr's told me if they rip the cancer out
    and I quit smoking there was only a 1% chance it would grow back, if I kept smoking 100% chance.

    Denn,

    I Thought the flame wars ended in the mid 90's?

    Apparently not. Some don't believe in "if you can't say something
    nice, don't say anything at all"...never mind the fact that "profanity
    is the attempt of a feeble mind to express itself forcibly".

    My Mom, and my late wife, had enough of a command of the English
    language, that they could get their thoughts, feelings, etc. across,
    WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD of vulgar language or profanity.

    The same goes with what the world sees today as "comedy". The late
    comedians such as Red Skelton, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie
    Allen, Groucho Marx, etc. all proved that "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DIRTY
    TO BE FUNNY".

    Indeed, ventriloquist Tood Oliver, who uses his own dog in his acts,
    when told he needs to "spice it up a bit", replied "I don't want my kids hearing that garbage. They likely are getting it from school already".

    As for Todd, he has a device on his Boston Terrier, Irving...which he controls, and it looks like Irving is actually talking, as Todd "throws
    his voice" (Todd is doing all the speaking).

    The device HAS BEEN APPROVED by the SPCA, so the "animal rights
    activists in PETA, etc. don't even need to think about pitching a fit
    about what he does".

    I saw his show in Branson a few years ago, and have seen videos of it
    on YouTube, and it is REFRESHING to see CLEAN COMEDY...not like these
    "rap songs" where every other word is a vulgarity...including the
    expletive for sexual intercourse.

    Another ventriloquist act that was on "The Nashville Network (TNN)"
    years ago, Shotgun Red, said "You know what I think of Rap?? Put a C in
    front of it!!". To me, Rap is for people who never learned how to sing.

    Along that line, I've started listening to a local country music
    station with the CLASSIC country western songs...most of the artists are
    dead and gone...including "The Possum" (George Jones)...whose hit "Who's
    Gonna Fill Their Shoes??" hit the nail on the head. Admittedly, some of
    the "new stuff" is OK, but I prefer the classics...just like with
    "classical music". I could listen to a piano concerto (especially by
    Sergei Rachmaninoff) all day.

    I completely understand where you're coming from, and it has been a daily battle with my family. It is really hard to find clean comedians now, and if you do, they can be questionable at times.

    There was a show on Netflix that my wife and I watched a couple of years ago, and Jeff Foxworthy has admitted that tried vulgarity in his act, and noticed that he lost people attending his shows.

    It is amazing how FM radio stations broadcast that repeative garbage numberious times a day, and even some Christian songs are questionable.

    i wonder if it's more of a psychological type of addiction other than physical.
    most smokers have smoker friends and if they quit they find they dont have much in common with eachother.

    Can't say I have'nt learned from experience though..

    I have heard that is how it starts, doctors prescribing pain killers. Then, it just goes down hill from there. I forget the name of the documentary that I saw last year, but it was about a brother of a famous wrestler that died from opiod additictions. The documenter blamed the people for the fact that the people is into this violent entertainment business and demanding for more and more.

    I do blame the medical field for trying to "treat" more ailments then cure them, because a healed person is no longer a customer. But I would be in denial If I did'nt blame my own addictive personality also. and that right there is what finally got me cleaned up and has kept me clean. I deal with my back pain by other means because I know that I cannot take medications like that for any time over 1 or two days without relapse into addiction.

    I've worn full dentures since 2000...my own set of "falsies". The
    latest ones I have, which I got from "Affordable Dentures", have fit SO PERFECTLY, that I have NOT had to use one drop of Poli-Grip, Fixodent, etc.

    Most dentures I have seen from affordable dentures have looked very good and fit well.

    I really beleive still that they all try to fit one too quickly for dentures, they should wait a few days after extraction of teeth before getting final fittings.

    The same goes with what the world sees today as "comedy". The late comedians such as Red Skelton, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie
    Allen, Groucho Marx, etc. all proved that "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DIRTY
    TO BE FUNNY".

    One of my favorite comedians was Seven Wright - He did clean one-liner humor, and I always thought he was quite funny. A more recent one-liner comedian I like is Stewart Francis.

    What's weird here (in Georgia) is that even though we now have a medical marijuana law that regulates CBD, you can still buy it all over the state without a prescription card . The law went into effect in 2015 if I am correct. Just recently started reading up on it so I could be wrong.


    Where in GA can you get CBD without a card?

    afaik you can get a card, but it really does no good because it is illegal to transport/manufacture in GA.

    one guy who is in top level government (cannot quite remember what) got through the loopholes by having the oil dropped at his door by an unknown party then giving it to card holiding patients. They still tried to string this guy up and he was NOT making ANY type of profit. nor was he eveing selling it. he was givingh it away.

    so even though the GA legislature, governer, whatever try to make it "look" like they care (I remember seeing the governer coughing up fake tears over this). you can see where their true loyalties really stand when it comes down to it. they stand with big pharma and its deep pockets.

    True. My daughter suffers from extreme anxiety at times and we've
    been researching CBD oil.

    CBD has never done anything but drastically INCREASE my anxiety.

    and it seems *most* strains of thc do this for me as of about 7 years ago before I stopped using it. I would be able to get some good medical grade at times and it be the right strain and it would work better than any pain/anxiety medication I have ever taken. But most of it just made me feel weird and very over anxious.

    I used to never have that problem back when I smoked it regularly in my 20s even with the cheapest commercial crap.

    Well done. The mental habit breaking was the hardest part of

    I didn't even bother with saving the extra money, as I didn't notice I
    had anymore. I know I could always buy the smokes but I wasn't displined enough to put that $12 a day aside. (I notice a pack is now $16.40 here)

    They busted a woman here for cultivating and distributing marijuana. She was growing it to supply medicinal needs, and I think she was giving it away to those in need. But they still wanted to prosecute. I can't recall what the outcome was, but there was a bit of public support for her, as she was obviously doing it to help people, not make a profit. Nor was she undercutting legitimate sources, because there weren't any at the time.

    Smoked for 7 years, I did use patches, but probably could have gone cold turkey. I was just over it the morning I decided to quit. Nowadays, I'm fo doing speed, in the 60, 100, 200 and 400 metre events at a track meet. :D G myself down around 12.8 seconds for 100m. :)

    only smoked for 3 years here, and ended up quitting when i got strep throat so bad i couldn't take a puff without gagging. when i realized it had been a week without a smoke, i just decided not to start again.

    i'm glad you found running! my distance of choice is the half-marathon. i totally dig the endurance aspect of running. didn't start until i was 30 either, and have to wonder how well i could have done if i started earlier. sad thing was, i was apparently too stupid to figure out how to run a bit slower, because every time we ran in PE class i'd go all out at 110%, get a side cramp, and then walk. a little bit of instruction would have gone a long way!

    i like a decent amount of classic hip hop, and was always impressed with the EPMD Strictly Business albumn. pretty sure there's not one cuss word on there, and it's still an epic albumn, proving that it's not a requirement to be awesome.

    i think the obvious problem there is that you can't go from 0 to joint in one day, nor would you want to. maybe try *one puff*... but really why smoke, when there are plenty of edible options these days. and again, be very very careful with the amount =)

    I'm built for speed. I've tried everything from short sprints to a marathon. But I'm definitely built for speed. Endurance for me is a complex exercise in resource management with a bit of stubborness thrown in. Sprints, OTOH, are almost effortless by comparison, as well as being a buzz. During the previous summer, my 100m - 400m times all improved by around 0.8 seconds, so the proportionate improvement was at the shorter distances. And my 60m time improved by 0.5 seconds in the same period. By comparison, my 1km time has improved by only 2 seconds in the past year, despite running a full cross country season of 1k events. :)

    I already have seen potential to take at least another 1/2 second off my times, with improvements in start technique.

    I now wonder what I could have achieved had I taken up track when I originally wanted to (at around 15), instead of at 47, with a good coach. Unfortunately, at that time, there was little in the way of opportunity, then it got forgotten until recent years.

    do you get the endorphin drop from sprints? i absolutely get the runners high when i push long distance. i read about kara goucher

    You get all sorts of effects. The more traditional "runners high" can come after a lactic training session, or a race that pushes you into that region, such as the 400 metres. That's one event I have a "love hate" relationship with. At the start, it's like "Why do I put myself through this?", but adter the finish, I'm on a high. Same for the 1km cross country events I'm running during the winter.

    But I also get other highs, some no doubt adrenaline rushes. For me, there's something about high speed, where it takes over 30 metrees (100') to pull up at the end of a race, or _any_ change of direction, however slight, requires one to lean into the corner, like you're riding a motorbike. At the end of last season, I was occasionally getting a sensation like being shot out of a cannon, from good starts or reaching particularly high speeds. I am talking of at least 22 mph here. :)

    training with power words, and decided to try it myself. when pushing hard, i can actually get the endorphin drop on command now by using the power words i trained with. it's pretty cool when that feeling spreads through your entire body heh. i need to experiment a bit more with it

    I'm not a verbal person, but I can induce a similar sensation through visualisation. :)

    and see if it can be used for anything more than a runners high on
    demand. i'd still like to complete one full marathon, even if i have
    to walk parts or whatnot, so i suspect there will be lots of
    opportunity to try =) right now i'm just getting ready for the pf
    changs half marathon in january. already lost 24lbs this year and 19
    more to go until i'm sub-200 w00t w00t.

    Well, if I was you, I would commit to a marathon, enter one at least 6 months away, so you have time to do the proper training. Believe it or not, I actually did run a marathon back in 2008. At the time, I was doing a lot of distance running and orienteering, as those where the best sporting opportunities I had back then. I did OK at the half marathon (2:03), marathon was affected by injury from a road incident 3 months earlier, which forced me to walk part of the race, but I still finished OK. :)

    But I'm in my element now. In 2 years, I've got myself ranked in the top 50 in the state for men over 40 in both the 100 and 200 metres (and some of those guys are almost 10 years younger!). Won a bronze in the 60m at the state Masters championships last summer, and cleaned up in the medals at the state Police and Emergency Services Games, with gold in my age group in the 100, 200 and 400 metres there (and outrun some much younger cops there ;) ). I qualify for those games as a volunteer firefighter. :)

    At that price surprised anyone would bother smoking. $30 for 25
    smokes is a bit crazy. (Hell I thought $16 was insane!)

    It's called "addiction". :/

    If it was easy to quit smoking, I think the cigarette industry would pretty much die overnight. They seem to profit from peoples' addiction, which I think is a shame, and a shame that cigarette companies are allowed to continue operating. I suppose people argue that it's freedom and you can't tell someone what to consume or what not to consume, which is true.. But I don't think cigarettes really have any significant health benefits, and they only cause more harm than benefit.

    are they cheaper on indian reservations in canada?

    Yes, you can still get the "Bag o smokes" (200 cigs)

    the floor sweepings so doesn't seem like a good deal to me.

    Yep - if you killed the cigarette industry, politicians relying on campaign contributions in exchange for consideration would not get elected, tobacco workers would be out of work and the economy would take a hit from addicts not paying for their fix.

    CBD has never done anything but drastically INCREASE my anxiety.

    and it seems *most* strains of thc do this for me as of about 7 years ago before I stopped using it. I would be able to get some good medical
    grade at times and it be the right strain and it would work better than any pain/anxiety medication I have ever taken. But most of it just made
    me feel weird and very over anxious.

    glad i am not the only one! that's exactly what most marijuana does to me. vary rarely i'd find a strain that would leave me stress free and relaxed and enjoying myself. mostly i smoke and get anxious and tense and paranoid.
    like you, i never had these problems when i was younger.. strange how that happens to some with time.

    So politicians, the insurance industry, and medical companies are also profiting from peoples' smoking addiction.. I don't really see that as a good thing.

    Inconveniencing doctors and insurance companies? Sure, they make money from whoever needs their services, but do they really want to see cases of lung cancer and other health issues caused by smoking? Smoking is a voluntary activity, and if fewer people (or nobody) smoked, I'd think doctors and insurance companies could better serve people who are in situations more beyond their control.

    My Mom and I used to eat at one in west Little Rock, but lately, we've preferred eating at Sonic...as we don't have to get out of the car. The location we go to a couple of miles southwest of me is extremely busy

A new law came in today that bans smoking from any public place where food is served, even outdoors. Outdoor dining areas were the last refuge for smokers dining out, but not any more.

    Interestingly, the government is one of the big ones profiting from smoking, since most of the cost of cigarettes is government taxes.

    And that's exactly what will bring in the criminal element - fixed demand, no supply = very high prices, = big profits for any criminal enterprise. This is why prohibition failed in the 1920s and why the war on drugs is failing - with supply limited by law, you've opened the door for organised criminals. The profit margins become so high, it's well worth the risk of flouting the law, and there's plenty of money left over to support this - buy black market weapons (and support other criminal enterprises!), bribe politicians, etc.

    It's much safer to have such industries highly regulated and work on the demand side to shut them down (if no one wants smokes, it's not profitable to make them), and any beneficial use can be regulated through appropriate channels. And for those manufacturers affected, a transition program to help them switch to making another product might help too. Make them want to get out of the industry too, instead of lobbying the government to keep the status quo.

    Capatilism 101 - laws of supply and demand. :)

    Managing addictive substances is not easy, and historically, Western society at least has done a really bad job of handling the issue.

    I do know someone who benefits from CBD vaping. Sure, he's been into pot, but he's found since he started the CBD, he doesn't really feel the need to take pot (with the THC) that much. For him, it was always more about the medicinal effects than the high. Sure, at times, he liked a high, but not the majority of the time.

    CBD is totally harmless, it will get you about as high as a tylenol would. It was unscheduled as an "industrial hemp product" or something like that for a long time and it wasn't illegal until January 2017. Places might not even KNOW it's a schedule 1 drug now. It totally is though, be careful.

I know I'm just as guitly of looking at my phone while check BBSes and walking to work or back to my car from work (I park two blocks away from work), but at least it's quick and I still see the world. And this is an example that I'm trying to set with my kids: mindfulness of other people around you. I am staunchly against my kids being on electronic devices while we are out in public. I don't want my kids be like other kids their ages are doing these days: on the phone just because the parents want them quiet. If my kids are acting out and not calming down in a reasonable amount of time, it's time for me and the kids to go out in the car to have them get it all out.

    Here's the kicker: my kids are 3 years old and 1 1/2 year old and other kids THEIR AGES are on these electronic devices!

    While I do agree, it is all relative my man... It sure beats what's going on in Venezuela. It didn't make big news here, but even the company that sold Venezuela it's voting machines called shenanigans on the results Maduro put forth.

    This won't be popular, but I've thought about it and I actually trust the Constituent Assembly way more than a trust a for profit company that makes voting machines. I hate voting machines. Maybe the company rigged them in the first place, how would anyone know?

    I just want to throw this out there, Venezuela is not actually a socialist country. Most of it's economy (like 70%) is privately owned, most of its newspapers etc. are privately owned, etc., etc. Everything *I* have seen suggests that the more-or-less Socialist party is in charge because THE PEOPLE WANTED THEM TO BE... I could be wrong, I'm not there, I don't have the complete picture, but the current media coverage of Venezuela in the US is one of the few cases I call #fakenews.

    I've had almost the same conversation with my right wing associates about conspiracy theories, deep state, etc... And it just reminds me of the flat earth society.

    I choose not to engage, and let's just blame cigarette smoking man =)

    In any case though, it doesn't even matter what kind of government they have. Their economy was dependent on oil. They don't have a lot else going on for them. Then one day global oil prices fell by like 50-85% or something, and their economy was going to crash no matter who the president was.

    Probably not that bad, but something similar could happen here tomorrow. It could happen anywhere. The government doesn't matter, Saudi Arabia has some kind of Islamic Monarchy thing going, because they can, because they're rich on oil, but if the world stopped buying it they'd be Venezuala in no time.

    Thats why Mr Musk needs to hurry with his electric cars, and put some affordable ones on the road.. at least we can make our own fule here and not have to be dependant on the middle east. and other "undesirable" parts of the world that is holding oil over our heads..

    I'm getting sick of seeing our presidents kissing and bowing to guys in skirts.. or whatever the hell they wear.. Plus.. Oil is just so... LAST CENTURY.. grow up all ready.. kick these damn oil barrons out of office and make a damn change.. it's time we stop draining this earth of everthing it has just for convenience, and this made up thing we call "Money"..

    we should have new 4-5k cars. just simple cars with no frills that
    dont break down. i think these fucking weird smartcars should be 4k.

    i just dont think we are there yet with electric cars and gasoline just works better than any of the alternatives in the long scheme of things.

    we should just use nuclear power for everything.

    It looks like someone elses message was quoted in reply to me, which is weird. But yeah, their singular export economy was not going to work well for them forever. Al Jazeera had a nice 3 minute summary video of the situation, which I appreciate, for americans like me who don't always keep up on international affairs =)

    The same goes with what the world sees today as "comedy". The late comedians such as Red Skelton, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Groucho Marx, etc. all proved that "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DIRTY TO BE FUNNY".

    One of my favorite comedians was Seven Wright - He did clean one-liner humor, and I always thought he was quite funny. A more recent one-liner comedian I like is Stewart Francis.

    Come on! You haven't heard of the 8 second rule!?!? :O

    I've heard of the 5 second rule, but that doesn't reply if you have a
    2 second dachsund...who feels that anything that falls on the floor is legally HIS!!

    Possession...and a pile of drool..is 10/10ths of the law in dog house :P

    Now it's just the matter of picking that thing up and yelling "LEAVE IT!" before it gets to their mouth instead of worrying that it's one of the
    thousand things that COULD cause an allergic reaction :\

    They were going to ask that on a study for second hand flatulence, but could never get enough volunteers. <G>

    I notice you said "not enough volunteers" but not that there weren't any.
    That raises a bit of concern :D

    my old boss started the gum and he is more addicted to the gum than
    he ever was on cigarettes.

    My wife is going the vape route (again), and every conversation now is punctuated with that sucking through a tube sound. It used to be she'd go outside to smoke, but now she's never without the thing.
