Imagine that, too much of something that doesn't have enough science to determine proper dosages is being over subscribed.

Its like crossfit, cultish I mean. All they do now is talk about dope and laugh at the huge amount the government sends them, for free, in the mail.
Def not judging but not the way I want to seen from the outside.
Oh and if the QTYs are the same as I see my friends rolling in, well it seems to be allot. But I never really got into weed so I really don't know what allot looks like.

https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-does-on-gram-of-cannabis-look-like-a-visual-guide-to-cannabi
10 grams is roughly 20 decent joints (cigarette equivalent for those who dont know... i suspect not many here don't dun dun dun...)
So the equivalent of 1 pack of cigarettes a day, doesnt seem to bad. But if rolled into blunts (ciqar equivalent) 10 grams is not much at all...
I know a guy who knows a guy, who would conside 10 grams a day nothing... to me, it seems like a fair amount... then again the research on this topic is dismal and to many people abuse it too..
*whistles*

Ps many medical users actually sell what they dont need...
recceguy said:You're friends are idiots and posers. These will be the assholes the press zeros on for their slanted articles.
Your description of PTSD = free dope from VAC is insulting and shows ignorance for both the injury and the treatment. Perhaps some reading, there's lots of info of both.
Again your friends are morons. Perhaps someone close to them should sort them out. And tell them their embarrassing our whole veteran family. No one wants to associate with that image.
There are many ways of injesting cannabis. The simplest and most economical for quantity is a joint. It means inhaling all the burnt plant material. It can be used in a vaporiser which is cleaner but could mean a larger amount. Then there is edibles. Many users can't, or won't inhale.
Edibles start with having the useŕ process their medice into a usble form for cooking and eating. This takes much more raw product than a person that just smokes it.
You were doing not too bad, until that last statement. What is your basis or source? Are you talking about non Vet med users, or are you implying Vets are drug dealer? I'll wait for you to explain.
There is a huge thread guys, where there is a wealth of information for Vets on this site. However you don't need to be a Vet to read it and maybe learn more about it.
Lastly, many different strains of cannabis are available. Some has a higher level of THC than CBD., which is more heady. Higher CBD.is for pain management and won't get you high when the THC level is in single number percentage.
This is a natural medicine, prescribed by a professional. Dosages, of any medication is between the patient and doctor.
While we're on the subject of drugs and doses, ever see anyone that!s on handfuls of oxy, percs or fentynal for pain. Then some barbiturates or the like to get a few fretful hours.
If Stoffer wants to worry about Vets medication qnd welfare perhaps he should be going after big pharma instead.
AbdullahD said:My basis for making this assumption, is the fact I have driven cab in three different cities and in all three cities, I have seen people take taxi's to the dispensaries collect the drugs. Then in my car for quite a number of cases exchange it for money.
AbdullahD said:Now since this is experience from my life, I won't go google anything... because I suspect my confirmation bias will be in full swing today

3VPspecialty said:Since licensed medical marijuana is only shipped through Canada Post your assumptions are based on nothing more than that your own assumptions.
Also any prescribed medication of any kind can and will be sold to others who can't obtain it legally. But that's also not to say that it's more prevalent or less so when it comes to marijuana.
Once you stop seeing it as a recreational drug in these instances we can start to to move past any stigma. I have been allotted Physio and Massage therapy sessions per month by VAC and it's definitely not cheap but no one is saying I shouldn't be getting this.
Bruce Monkhouse said:...and you would be correct. Though cannabis users would have an impossible time cutting into the real 'get free, sell high' world of Percocet and Oxytocin suppliers.
John Tescione said:Recceguy and 3VPspecialty have covered anything I would say.
I have a thread to educate some of the others on this one, including their "Friends".
I am also prescribed 10 grams a day. 7 bullet holes, and Numerous OSIs, have caused me to ingest way to Big Pharma garbage, that i have finally found peace. IF you don't use it, don't throw out armchair Doctor guesses on what is too much for someone.
recceguy said:A simple side note, in case I wasn't clear above.THC is psychoactive. CBD is not. You will not get high from CBD, which is what many Veterans use. As well, cannabis contains terpenes that provide relief from a number of symptoms without getting high. Are Vets using THC dominant strains? Of course, because they also work, but not everyone does. So, please be careful with any blanket statements that show Vets as pot abusers.
Many users are now using only cannabis, opposed to the handfuls of opioids and other dangerous big pharma drugs the system had them on previously.
That is a good thing and worth the price alone to get away from the side effects of all the pharma drugs.
AbdullahD said:According to starbuds a medical cannabis dispensary I just personally called. You can buy medical marijuana and products directly from their locations or have it mailed to you. Maybe different areas have different rules?
3VPspecialty said:Dispensaries or any physical shop location is actually breaking the law and are not approved through VAC or the government as places to purchase marijuana. Most dispensaries are self regulated and are skirting the law. Not saying they are wrong just they are not a factor when dealing with VAC and weed.
AbdullahD said:Okay, so we have two different issues at play then. Thanks for enlightening me, you had me wondering what was up enough to call them directly lol. I would hate to think I was that biased.
Thanks again
