What is CBD? Is it good?

[Tstrbrainer]

[CloudMassacre]

Cbd is a non psychoactive component of weed. Basically my understanding is that female weed plants make the THC the regular weed weed, and male plants Hemp make the CBD. It’s more of a body relaxer

[Tstrbrainer]

What's thc?

[Guy__]

Anything in high dose is psychoactive.

[CloudMassacre]

THC is what you think of when you think of a stoner smoking weed, it’s the one that gets you high. CBD won’t get you high

[Tstrbrainer]

So, CBD is good.
While THC is bad for us eventually?

[CloudMassacre]

I don’t think it’s that cut and dry, but I’m a stoner so I’m biased. Like weed is less harmful than cigarettes, but inhaling any smoke is going to be bad for you. But look at a life long stoner vs a life long alcoholic or nicotine smoker and there’s definitely a difference

[Tstrbrainer]

I haven't really met any stoner.
So can you tell me that difference?

Alcohol fries the liver and nicotine finish the lungs. What about weed?

[CloudMassacre]

Over time your short term memory suffers and depending on how your smoke it Pipes, Joints, Bongs, you’ll have more or less burnt carbon coming in your lungs. Weed hasn’t been shown to cause cancer, and there’s always the option of cooking it and eating it in different ways that would totally avoid lung damage. And it’s been shown that quitting weed you’re able to have a full body recovery after about 1-5 months depending on how much you consumed. It can be addictive, it’s more of a habitual addiction, but when you quit it out of the blue it messes with your hunger and mood because your body has grown accustomed to the frequent introduction of weed. Like the benefit is that you can’t overdose on weed. Like a kid stumbles into a room with $100 of alcohol and that could easily kill them, but if a kid smoked $100 of weed, they would just “die” for like two days and be fine after a week or two

[Tstrbrainer]

Sounds like weed is better.
Yet it is banned in my country lol.
Alcohol and cigarettes are legal

[CloudMassacre]

It just depends on the person and how they smoke their first time. For some people it legit just isn’t for them, it makes them uncomfortable or anxious or sick. And sometimes people smoke way too much the first time which makes them feel horrible and not want to try it again. Like if someone asked me to introduce them to weed, I would give them like a wispy little tiny half puff of smoke, or something like a 2 milligram edibles. Because starting way small with it eases you into being able to handle getting higher instead of just jumping feet first

[Tstrbrainer]

Sounds nice. I think I'd prefer edibles if I get the chance

[MORPHEUS_12]

It depends because so much on the market is crap. Also it is possible for higher spectrum CBD can cause a positive urine drug screen for THC. The best thing to do is to make your own CBD oils.

[Tstrbrainer]

How do I make my own?

[Graci_e]

It’s great. It’s super calming and helps me heaps when I’m anxious or frustrated. It helps me more than the medication I’m on, it’s just so much harder to get where I’m from and expensive.

[Tstrbrainer]

Well, its illegal where I'm from.
It is treated as narcotics

[Graci_e]

That sucks. In all honesty I don’t think weed is that bad as long as you don’t abuse it, just get some of that from somewhere.

But be very, very careful and picky about where you get it from cause some people lace it with stuff like speed or make it super dodgy.

[Tstrbrainer]

Thank you
I'll keep that in mind.

It really sucks that it's illegal. I could have used CBD for my anxiety.

[Graci_e]

Yeah it does suck. It’s so stupid too because weed is illegal yet better for you than alcohol. It has so many health benefits, it even helps prevent cancer yet it’s illegal.

[Tstrbrainer]

It helps with cancer? That's great

[Graci_e]

Yep.

Weed helps treat:

Alzheimers
Cancer
Appetite loss
Autism
ADHD
Crohn’s disease
HIV
AIDS
Epilepsy
Anorexia
Pain
Nausea
Cancer
Anxiety
And more

Weed reduces anxiety, reduces inflammation, relieves pain, kills cancer cells and slow tumour growth, relaxes right muscles, etc

However:

Marijuana can cause dizziness, fast heartbeat, hallucinations, low blood pressure, bloodshot eyes, etc

Use of weed in the younger years when you’re still developing can affect IQ and mental function.

I don’t believe that weed is good for you if used too often and abused. That’s when things like hallucinations and depression can develop. But if you are using it for a medical purpose, safely and responsibility it can really benefit you.

[Tstrbrainer]

Thank you very much for your helpful input.
I really wish my country legalize weed for at least medical use

[Graci_e]

All good :)

You're a fool to even try and take me on Lmao
