You metabolize it completely differently. Smoking goes straight to the dome. Which I like. Edibles get turned into a different compound that I always forget the name but has an 11 in it. [Reply]

But can you imagine if nothing in your body was inflamed? Not a joint, or muscle, or over active receptor? What if you could stave off the plaque that led to Alzheimer's? What if you didn't have to deal with fibromyalgia or chrones or a pissy ass attitude? What if you didn't have to worry about some guy in a sleep study?
Any of you quality people have prostate cancer and youd better hide it from me. Or youll be butt raped with a suppository that has zero psychoactive properties.
i miss the good highs, but that shit started turning against me, and it just wasnt fun. Meanwhile my 63 year old dad smokes all the fucking time! life just isnt fair sometimes! lol [Reply]

School after this year is a hard decision. We may even homeschool. I will do my best to keep him out of those circles. With all that said the most talented Judo kid I have ever seen threw it all away at 18. He moved out of his parents house to live in a small dump with his friends and get faded all day. He was a national champion with Olympic gold written all over him. Broke his dads heart. Walked away from a career, fame and an inheritance all to smoke weed with his buddies all day in ghetto ass house in a bad neighborhood. God help me if my kid does that. I also know 2 kids who got their blue belt at 16 and had not lost a match in years in jiu-jitsu. Their parents were not people of means. They both started smoking a lot of weed and quit 3 years ago. One is dead and the other was living out of his car last I heard. Really sad.
Maybe the kid felt he was being forced into just and just lashed out after he couldn't be forced to do it anymore. He finally had a chance to rebel and overdid it. Sounds like the dad was over parenting and too controlling to me which led to the kid going wild at 18. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

I know nothing about pot and very little about sleep. But take it FWIW.
Research on weed right now is so new that I take a lot of it with a grain of salt. I know for me, sleep was always easier to get and much deeper when I had smoked.
But I can see if you just smoke a ton, your brain may remain "high" even when you're asleep so it may affect your REM cycles. I never get that high if I can help it. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
