Been thinkin on this. Most certianly what is on the street today is not the same animal that was common back in the ol days. Oh sure it was around but rare. What is common now is what we called "trip weed". That s**t will nail you to the f****n floor. Now that brings me to what is considered real medical mary jane to be truthful, I'm not sure. So this part is a guess. One of the reasons that your country can lay claim to some of the strongest s**t in the world is there is a guy that sells seed there. He knows what he's doing. It's been around long enough and have enough generations of it, it can get wild with it's potencey. He gets his supply from all over the world and the US officals would love to get their mitts on em. My guess is this, there isn't any need for that kind of potency, it isn't what the thing is needed for. What the exact chem you would be needing for such as migraines, you would have to look carefuly for. The trick would be in finding the supplier for just the type you would want. I grew it not many years ago in the house, bedroom closet, I did a hit just to test it and it was pathic, lol, then gave it all away. I just happen to like the looks and the smell of the growing plants and had never done it, so I did. The male plant is less potent, but again, just might have the right thing. Now am I saying do it? Well I am saying, weigh the risks and the outcome of what one would hope to achieve. Munchies, I never had trouble with that kind of thing, I still can eat most anything and not worry about poundage. But then, food doesn't interest me all that much either. My migraines can be controled with vitiman E, but are not the same as yours. I have pressure in my eyes and if the need for relief came to pass, I'll be damned if I would pay some company to make for a price what I could do for free. But that's me, not you. I have seen the stuff mess with short term memory, that's no propaganda thing, but then they were abusing it and not on a as needed basis. Personaly I would probably still do it from time to time, but it sets up a panic attack type thing in me and I'm just not into that thing at all. Actually suspect that isn't present anymore, but I don't need that kind of relief, I'm altered stated enough But that would be doing it for the high and not for a med. Now hash, different story But my contacts are all into the grass thing. Oh yeah, I still have them. Hard not to when you have kids, lol. Oh and the street stuff, not cheap, they've come along ways from the 7 dollar ounce. They do make the active ingredients into pill form, non high, non munchie. I've heard very mixed things about these. Also legal from a doc, here in the States, I suspect they aren't cheap either and have heard they don't work very well for any length of time. Been a while since I looked into it. Not sure how Canada is looking at all of this thing anymore.

Almost forgot..impairment, depends. Depends on what you smoked, how much and for how long you're been doing it. By that mean, in the old days I could function just fine on what would drop a normal person in their tracks. It was just a matter of getting used to the altered state. I wouldn't suggest driving a car or being careless with what tasks you might need to do, but that's simple planning a head. Look at it this way, a magriane will not allow you to do many things, smoking might do the same, so whats the trade off? Well you still might need to take time out from the normal activitys, just one would be less painful. Perhaps, I stress perhaps.

Would I? In a heart beat, in a heart beat.

Update on personal life: H is out of the hospital now, has prescriptions for prednisol, Claritin, Xanax, and a couple of things I can't quite make out. Doc said no driving or drinking; she observed that if she wanted to drink, she'd have to drive too, because all her booze is at a friend's house on Whidbey Island, a couple of hours from here. Now she gets her computer...

Good that she is home. Any idea what caused the reaction? That is scary. I have allergies to all sorts of things and feeling the way she must is horrible. Glad she has her new computer to help take her mind off of it a little.

Postie, thanks for comments on the marijuana issue. In the throes of a migraine just about anything sounds appealing. I'll write more tomorrow because I promised Funnykid that he can do a raid on WoW. And I am giving up yet another computer. We have 3 of the bloody things..... Yeesh!

The Wife and I were just talking about this in a round about way. You know you do all you need to and you control what you can in terms of the anxiety. But you really don't know what has crept in the back door, till things start to settle. I really had thought I was doing it rather well and then have noticed over the last couple days that it was in me much more then I had guessed. Pleased to hear things are on the up.

I know I'm risking youtube burnout here, but I just saw the best version of this done by Neil Young that I've seen in a long time. Thought I'd share.

Now THERE'D be a sight to see....

Well yes, now that you mention it. I will comment further. It is very plain in this fine piece of, err , umm, not so long ago, prehistoric art. Just slip the beast into the cart, light fire under cart and wa-la, you have a bear-b-q grill.


Roflmao. Drunk owls? Umm maybe. But then again, he might have been after the drunk mouse that fell into the pond that was after the drunk piece of cheese that was floating around. Somehow that didn't come out as circular as I had hoped. I don't know what drunk cheese would be after.

Yeah I actually was watching TV that night. Bought the old Buffalo Springfield not many months ago, album long since gone. Love his Crazy Horse days. Cinnamon Girl is haunting to me, can put me in a real one song obsession. Damn it, now I said it Well maybe it will get me off Green Days, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, that would be some relief.

Mary wanna.

(you see, you smoke the joint, get the munchies, so afterward comes drunk cheese... Ok, when you have to explain your own jokes and can't, it's time for bed. Night all! Good to see everyone again!)

(I'm still curious as to why and how Lau and Lemon took the alligator out of his pen at the zoo, went to the art museum, then put him back. Would like to know what that was all about, but they just giggle and throw knowing looks at one another...)

I have a 12 string accoustic, and on a good night....."den, dellin, dey....dey, de, dow, .."how I wiiiish, how I wish you were here, we're just 2 ................swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,...runnin' over the same old ground, what have we fo...oooond?...the same old !..wish you were he..eere,..den, dellin, dey....dey, de, dow.

Another migraine, blessedmom, my sympathies.

I just Googled "migraine etiology therapy", and one of the links that came up was to an American Journal of Nursing article published in 1946. And you have to wonder whether much new info has come to light since!

Migraine: Etiology and Treatment of the "Sick Headache"
Russell N. Dejong
The American Journal of Nursing, Vol. 46, No. 9 (Sep., 1946), pp. 580-582

Not a bad article, though, what I read of it. Here are some of the highlights:

Migraine Etiology

• More usefully seen as a "syndrome" and not a "disease"
• No single etiologic factor which acts in all cases
• Over 60% of patients have family history, usually through the maternal side
• More frequent in the "thinkers" than in the "doers"
• Eyestrain, excessive use of the eyes, inadequate lighting, exposure to glaring lights, errors of refraction, or ocular muscle imbalance
• Sinus disease, periapical abscess, or other toxic or infectious process
• Allergy or sensitivity to some specific food or other substance in the environment

I found the following bit particularly interesting, since my own migraines seem to be tied in somehow with lipid (fat) metabolism.

Another abstract from my Google search said that biofeedback therapy can be helpful. Cannabis, euch, I'm not tempted. Hydroponic grow-operators tend to rush their product off to market without first flushing the nutrient solution from the plants, and the resultant chemical load is blamed for increased incidence of psychosis in heavy cannabis users. Or so I've heard...

Mescalero, it's "We're just two LOST SOULS swimming in a fish bowl year after year."

Your sig is very funny!

Very good point, agreed. It's always been the problem with street drugs.

However, where it has been used in an open manner, for medicinal reasons, care is taken on it's growth. Heavy is a key word as well, 2 headaches in 2 weeks, if I got that right, I don't think goes under the heading of heavy use. Also, they come and go, so this would fall under the as needed basis, not a preventative, or again, as I guess. And again I stress the word, guess.

medicinal marijuana in canada, the link has a 2001 date, careful the pendulum doth swing.

For me, I'm anti drug, anti booze, but my anti only holds for me personaly. What others do is up to them. Some can handle it just fine. These things just don't go down to well with me. While I did state it would be nice for an occasional hit, I'm not totaly sure it would be a good thing for me to even attempt. Weed back then isn't and wasn't what it is today. I'm to cheap to pay those kinds of prices anyway. But if it were needed for some kind of medical reason, in a heart beat, in a heart beat. I just don't have the urge to do such things, nor need.

Nice one!

It was good to see Mr. T on drums and Δρ. Λεκτορ on rhythm. I didn't know Jimmi did bass, and he was looking a bit pale, but he is dead, after all.
