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

Tried it a couple times in High School. Found I got a better buzz with beer.

I won't smoke anything. I might take it orally for medical reasons, if it worked.

^^This.

It has helped several friends of mine with medical issues. All Texans, and they don't care that it is illegal.

One is a former Police Officer with Crohn's Disease. It is the only thing that has helped him, routinely.

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.

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

Not a fan, watched a good technician on the submarine turn absolutely worthless over that stuff.

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 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.

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

No, I have control issues 🤣

I’m either in full conscious control of myself or the devil takes over

I don’t see it as a big problem. It’s just not for me. I took one puff of it, a long time ago, and told myself that I didn’t need to go there.

I have an addictive personality and have to be cautious. I started as a teen farm and ranch hand.

I quit smoking cigarettes at least a dozen times, over the years, and always went back. Then, about 10 or so years ago, I started to light one and decided not to. This time, no withdrawal symptoms and still none.

I recently found a half pack in the back of a drawer in my workshop. I wondered. Then decided I already knew the answer. I field stripped them just to make sure I didn’t weaken.

Now 83 yoa and every one of my teen buddies that kept smoking are gone.

I tried it once when I was a freshman in high school, my brother in law lit one up and I took two hits of it, I don't remember a single thing shortly after doing that until the next morning when my sister was waking me up because I was sleeping on their couch. Never had an interest in it ever again. My brother in law told me I was just incoherent and trying to walk around until I passed out on their living room couch, he said it was pretty amusing.

Medicinal use could have been an poll option, that is the only time I would care to.
But I have two friends that have become stoners claiming it as "medicinal" to calm their nerves and relieve stress. Both are house wives with absolutely no stress in their life. They are always high, sad.

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

I can maybe see the medical use for THC, but it would not be an acceptable excuse to sit around, and toke weed all day...those folks are just trying to game the system. Like I said, I really have no problem with what folks consume, keep it at home and don't expose your kids. I know lots of folks who consume alcoholic beverages on a regular basis, those folks don't hang out downtown at bars, or drive around drunk, that is mostly the younger folks or/and those who never really grew up. I have no tolerance for drunk drivers or people who believe their rights trump all others.

Never ever. It`s just as nasty as cigs. Only time I touched POT was when I was throwing it out the window of my friend's car while I was driving down the highway in 1978 (I was 19). I found it in the glove box while looking for his 8 track tapes. He shouldn`t have left it in his car and asked me to help him move. He wasn`t very happy a few days later when him and his pot smoking buddies were looking for their next high. We quit hanging out after that. Pot was definitely a gateway drug for him and most of his friends. He went into rehab for meth recently after a run in with the law.

I know people from 50's to 80's that do smoke it for medicinal purposes.

They are not going to be protesting in public. They're just going to do what they're going to do, and not talk about it.

Same here. They will be outside in a hoodie in 100 degree weather getting stoned. Mom, dad and teenage kid.

Are there negatives to the other ways to use it for pain relief than smoking? My mom has used it for pain, but not smoked. I would use it for pain but I would prefer a different method than smoking it.

I voted no. I have never had the need to dull my senses with drugs or alcohol. I have buried several friends and classmates due to these things.

No never

For the "never" bunch. How do you feel about alcohol?

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?
