How many times does one have to do it before it does anything? After two joints I just got sore throat and lungs. Couldn't stop coughing it out, so maybe that's why it didn't do anything. Haven't done it since.

Each strain and each batch is different. If one strain doesnt work, try another. Make sure to give high CBD cannabis a try as well as it produces a very different effect to high THC cannabis. I don't smoke, I use a vaporizer. It used to make me cough a lot when I first started but after like a month or so of daily use I stopped coughing. Take a sip of water before you inhalr, that will help with the coughing.

One of the negative consequences of medical/recreational marijuana is the effect on traffic accidents:

According to the Insurance Journal, crashes are up by as much as 6% from 2012 to 2017 in Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Colorado and Washington legalized recreational marijuana use in 2012. Oregon followed suit in 2014, and in 2016 Nevada did as well.

In many cases the driver combined marijuana with prescription drugs or alcohol, which can make the behavioral effects greater.

In the French study the researchers tested 15 regular cannabis consumers and 15 occasional consumers who typically smoked either one or two joints a day or one or two a week, respectively.

The researchers collected participants’ blood at numerous intervals over a 24-hour period before and after the participants smoked either a placebo, or marijuana with either 10 or 30 milligrams of THC. The participants’ samples were tested for THC and the metabolized versions of the drug. They tested subjects' reaction times and driving performance in a simulator at intervals throughout the 24-hour period.

The researchers found that the effects of the marijuana came immediately but subjects experienced the full effects five hours after they smoked the joints, said Jean-Claude Alvarez, of Hôspital Raymond-Poincaré, AP-HP in Garches, France. He added that effects diminish after about eight hours in chronic users and about 13 hours in occasional users.

THC tended to make drivers' reflexes and reactions slow. Vision was also impaired.

Considering people are sleeping at the wheel of 700hp Teslas & using iPhones at 85mph, I'm more concerned about people in general than what's in their bodies. I think the problem is that everyone constantly needs to be somewhere & they don't rest up or otherwise prepare for any drive. A lot of people get enough medical benefits from cannabis that it could make them safer as long as they're not getting really stoned. These studies ignore the statistical middle ground & myopically focus on risk. I live in Colorado, road rage & incompetence are vastly larger problems than Marijuana most days.

Dangerous drivers here aren't usually smokers of any kind unless they're into something harder than weed. I'm more afraid of the entitled idiots who don't know what Bluetooth is for.

Cannabis helps with autism, there is no doubt about it. Whenever I become overstimulated or anxious, smoking just a little bit will really calm me down. It’s a very nice feeling considering how fast my mind and my body is moving constantly. I feel like I'm more me now and a lot more tolerable to other people. I tend to hyper focus on stuff that really means very little to me. Like how to automate something at work or the political happenings of the world. I don't want to spend my life focusing on all that, I have medical card california and weed helps me relax and enjoy my free time. Without it my mind would constantly be at work but when I get home I can smoke a bowl and enjoy a video game or meditate or go for a run without all my thoughts focused on whatever bs I need to figure out in life. Thank you fellow ent for letting me know I'm not alone.
