Option D - In place of pain prescriptions like hydrocodene and for medical purposes. Yes

Smoke it, no, never...hate the smell. I have friends / acquaintances who find it very strange that I can tell them when they have been smoking pot. The two issues I have with weed, are, it stinks and most people who consume are two obtuse to keep it at home and not infringe on the rights of others.

No. How come most people who claim they need pot for medical are in there 30s and 40s? Most people that age dont have medical pain. Not until you hit 60 or later. You dont see 60 to 80 year olds protesting they need pot. Purely a democratic backwards thinking scam

I can't stand the smell either, and the skunk smell makes me want to vomit

I saw too many of my buddies from High School who smoke weed and got into other drugs and pretty much destroyed their lifes.

I am good with life and enjoy it, I don't need any drugs to enjoy life. Drugs are for losers.

Nope. I get enough skunk smell from my nextdoor neighbor!

Never had the urge and haven't even tried it in states where it is legal and readily available.

All these "medical purpose" excuses don't make much sense. I'm not aware that it has been proven to be a cure for anything. Is it just that when someone is high they don't feel the pain, or care that they do?

Well, the topic has been beaten to death here and everywhere else.

Personally, I've never known anyone or heard of any instance where someone got stoned on weed and beat their wife and/or kids or started a bar fight that ended up with someone in the hospital or morgue. nobody has So I just can't see the justification for keeping it illegal while allowing alcohol consumption to go pretty much unchecked.

As for the gateway drug argument, that is complete horse excrement. Alcohol is the gateway drug, if such a thing exists.

All that said, I smoked plenty of pot as a youngster. I stopped years ago when my kid was born. I won't say I haven't had any since, but it is rare and in a setting where I'm at no legal risk doing so.

Lots of people smoke it even though it`s not legal thinking they`ll never get caught and then one day they do. A guy at my old job with 35 years of service was walked out yesterday after failing a random piss test. No wonder they call it Dope.

I had my fill when I was a young man. Don't want any part of it. If I ever had a medical need for it, maybe I'd consider it, but only in pill/edible form where the dose could be well regulated.

I'd be curious to see the age demographic relative to the answer given. I'll speculate most "nevers" are boomers. Not implying anything negative, it would just be interesting to see.

No, I can't stand the smell. I'd try it in an edible, but I've heard from my friends that those are a bit more dangerous...because you never know just how hard of a hit you'll get. They say smoking it is a more mellow hit...but I HATE that smell! I was coming out of a local Walmart the other morning and someone had clearly lit one up in the parking lot and it wasn't even 9:00 a.m. Nasty smell.

I know some of you don’t want to hear this, but there are some terrible side effects that come with marijuana abuse. Sure, there is a difference between use and abuse, but hear me out. A lot of folks that use it to battle anxiety, have anxiety that stems from marijuana abuse. And quitting helps.

Also there are some serious mental issues. Paranoid/schizoid disorders, for starters.

You should be very careful with anything that alters your mood or your mind in any way.

When does all this fun start> I'll be 66 in June and I have None of those issues.

Very True

Some of you olds smoked it when it was low %, todays strains are 4-6x what they were when y’all were sporting your mullet next to your classic car

...throwing under par rounds at every local disc course in the state. Women want us, and men want to be us.

Todays weed is just a step below alcohol.. it’s all recreational until it’s not

Today’s weed will tranquillize a horse compared to what it was 30 years ago

CBD oil, with minimal THC has helped my wife's diverticulitis better than any prescription med.

I believe Marijuana has medicinal purposes. And being just a plant makes it more appealing to me than big pharma. If I needed it for a medical reason that is. Fortunately, I do not.

Lots of Firefighter buddies have back, knee, hip, and shoulder pain. Several of them have said they are going to give it a try after they retire. Until then, they are just going to have grit their teeth and live with the pain.

Much better!

Opioids REALLY can ruin lives. And ruin them in a matter of weeks.

Keep us updated. Don’t take too much.

Delta8 will show positive on a drug tests, if you take those. Most jobs will just need a picture of the label to verify the thc content.

I jumped in the deep end today. We were at the Frisco Home and Garden show and after talking to the owner of a CBD business, I bought some Delta 8 gummy’s for sleep. Trying to get off prescription sleep meds. Hoping it helps with my knee and hip pain as well. Wish me luck!

What is causing your knee and hip pain?

Arthritis for sure in the knee, probably the same in my hips.

Edibles should be an option too.

What strength are your gummies Jimbo1?

Interesting so far 35% of THFers would.
