...the more people respond to me talking about my anxiety problems with "Have you tried smoking weed?"

No, I haven't, and I don't want to, thanks.
No, I don't care if it's harmless.
No, I don't care where it's legal.
No, I'm not religious.
No, my parents weren't religious either.
No, I don't think anyone who does it is evil.
I just don't feel comfortable with the idea, okay?

/mini-rant (I'm not actually angry or anything, because that's far from the only way people contribute to these conversations, and it happens rarely enough for now...but eh.)

I get that too. That and people telling me it will help with my chronic pain. I'm just not interested but they won't listen.

haha, that's...wow. I've never heard of that particular response to that particular issue...

I have been called a pothead for supporting marijuana legalization. I've never smoked weed and don't want to, but I don't hate on people who do...so I feel you on that, anon.

Is it just the act of smoking it that leaves you uncomfortable? There are some medical marijuana growers that make what's called "Hippie's disappointment" (because it's low in THC) into an extract that's been used by a ton of people, perhaps most noticably in a little girl who stopped having seizures after taking it.

> says they don't want to smoke marijuana

> "here! have some marijuana!"

I know you think you're being cute, but you do realize smoking marijuana isn't the only way to ingest it right? And since OP specifically mentioned people who pushed SMOKING at them, my post is well within the bounds of logic.

Except that this doesn't involve smoking, and isn't, strictly speaking, marijuana. It's an extract that provides the healing benefit of weed without any of the psychotropic side effects. Taking it would be little different from taking any other OTC pain killer or anti-anxiety med.

Can you tell us why it makes you uncomfortable? I'm a nonsmoker in favor of full legalization; I don't smoke because I don't enjoy the act of smoking.

man, me too! what the hell is up with that?

i just don't want to try it because a) i'm not comfortable with the idea, like you said, and b) in some people it can actually make anxiety WORSE and i'm not even gonna take that risk.

Yep, I get that a lot myself, because I've got anxiety issues AND GI problems. And I can't deny that it seems like something that SHOULD help, but given my experience with other meds that seemed like something that should help (Valium ugh), I am very suspicious it might just make things worse. I'm desperate enough I might give it a try ONCE if I had an easy way to get some, though, and I'm NOT desperate enough to go seek it out.

But yeah, funny how not wanting to go out of your comfort zone to try weed means you obviously don't want to get better, right?

Theoreticaly smoking shouldn't affect GI other than esophagus, but when you consider all the side affects, chamomile tea seems like the better alternative, if not that effective. And anyway what cames first, anxity or the illness? Imho, illness is the cause.

I've had this happen to me. It's frustrating.

Weird. I wouldn't think of weed to treat anxiety problems because... well, what if I'm one of those people who gets extreme paranoia as a side effect? I'm also just not interested. Don't care if other people smoke it, but not for me, thanks.

(reply from suspended user)

People say smoking is harmless? Where have they been for the last thirty years? Changing the type of leaf smoked does not make smoking less harmless, smoking is smoking is smoking.

I am willing to be in favour of legalised marijuana if it means methods other than smoking are better developed, publicised and disseminated.
