tot:I said XYZ takes it was for reference purposes. Whether you like it or not, marijuana is a herb, planted, cultivated and grows naturally. Unless you want to imply that the almighty creator made a mistake by creating it. It is Gods gift to mankind but you may not understand because of the media's propaganda and also your biasedness towards it. Like everything else, it has both advantages and disadvantages. As i said earlier moderation is key. Too much of everything is not good. 1 Like 1 Share |

If anybody is wasting their time commenting its us that are defending weed, no be Nigeria again, 5G causes coronavirus people, coronavirus isnt real people Vast ignorance, you expect them to understand that weed is less harmful, most of them look at agbero and say that's what weed does 80% of weed users arent agberos, stop fooling yourself 6 Likes 1 Share |

Hypnotise: You are right, just like every other drug "moderation is key" but then what happens when a person exceeds the "moderation index" as is often seen and the disadvantages now roll in. If people maintained the moderation level weed wouldn't be a topic for discussion the reason,most people do not maintain the moderation level 1 Like |

Shuggaa:There is the DIY and the official method. I will tell you just the DIY. Empty a tea bag of its content by cutting away closely at the top so you can have enough space to dip. Pour your cannabis into the open tea bag, make sure it is finely grind. get a cup of hot water and dip your tea bag with cannabis into the cup. make sure you are holding it at the tip top. Wait for a couple of secs and take it out. dry your cannabis and for later use. you can drink the tea with milk and sugar if you will. note: the effect of consuming cannabis this way comes much later than smoking it and it much stronger. Make sure you are not driving or operating heavy machinery. Enjoy!!! 3 Likes |

Op virtually every word of yours up there are the honest truth, I can relate to every bit of them cus I have been there. But most times weed can be used as an escape to the shabbles of life. Though, when addicted the end doesn't worth it. 2 Likes |
Re: How I Overcame Marijuana Addiction (Weed) by Hermes119: 2:11pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
maynia: I agree that everything in life has effects just like u said Drinking "too much" of water kills,yes depending on what u mean by "too much" Eating meat can kill,yes but that depends on the quantity of meat,or the type of meat,or microbial infestations in the meat and some their factors Drinking coffee kills,Yes and that also depends on the quantity and other factors Now as u rightly pointed out,several things we consume if not all can kill but it depends largely on the quantity consumed and this is very important. The main component in weed that alters the brain is tetrohydrocannabinol and other compounds called cannabinoids. Do u know that the body produces cannabinoids,a group of substances known as endocannabinoids are produced in the body and their release is triggered by pain and so on. But the quantity the body produces is the quantity it deems essential so it doesn't cause problems,so cannabinoids are not bad but then consuming an excess of it is what is deemed harmful. Unfortunately because of the euphoric effects that these drugs have people do not understand that u can't use them beyond a certain level and even when they do they don't adhere to that and that's the problem. That is what us known as drug abuse. If u want to use weed to get high I don't have a problem with that just as I don't have a problem with anyone consuming coffee or meat like u mentioned, but consuming beyond a point that would lead to the manifestation of their side effects is what I discourage 4 Likes |

There is nothing like weed addiction, it's not even possible, the nerve ends that weed attaches to cant create the kind of dependance that cocaine and co can create The only argument against weed is that it's a gateway drug to other drugs, that one is true but very rare but if you ignore that arguement there is nothing you can say against weed, let's not even begin, cause me I know my onions All these illiterates talking nonsense here 3 Likes |

Re: How I Overcame Marijuana Addiction (Weed) by Hypnotise: 2:15pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
tot:Like poison ivy right? Well if you notice, there are a lot of people defending weed very strongly on this thread. It should hint you that there's something you're not aware of. Also, everyone knows there are some poisonous herbs that kill and have use, no doubt. Cigarette too though manmade kills and doesn't have any use. However, marijuana doesn't kill but has many advantages. I still maintain that it is a gift from God to mankind but it must be used in "Moderation". How I wish you can be open minded and give it a try just once. 1 Like 1 Share |
