why do some of you seem to think that weed is a magical, fix-all, cure-all disease and/or illness remover?

because for some of us and some of our problems it is

i havent seen a single person in this thread say that pills should be banned and everyone should just smoke marijuana
but the fact is that for some people whatever medicine isnt marijuana might not help them as much as marijuana

i don't think weed is a cure, it just lessons the effects of what your medical problems are (literally the same thing as prescription pills)

It helps me mentally and physically. So yeah, for me it is a magical fix-all disease. It also brought me closer to my family because without it I just get reclusive. Turns out I have a nice family.

Sure I can take a bunch of pills for my issues but the side effects are terrible. If it wasn't for marijuana I would have probably been enrolled into a mental hospital until they put me on some crazy-pills.

Bingo, you hit the nail on the head. Pills don't do stuff but cover up the problem and make you sick (usually)

pills are usually to prevent and actively cure the illness
weed is just delaying the inevitable
also i really don't understand how inhaling a combusted plant seemed like a good idea to you guys in the first place

Because it helps with problems? You complain about us losing braincells but you can't wrap your head around the fact that not everyone wants to take pills that have more side effects than not.

you've been speaking from your viewpoint that your painkillers made you sick, so all pills will make you sick
if that's all they did, they'd have been taken off the market months after they were invented
i took pill-form amoxicillin for a sinus infection and there were absolutely 0 side effects

[Alyx Vance]

Okay, that's you. For me I always got side effects so I simply switched to something that works for me.

i take pills still, i'm not some sort of hippie who owns a tinfoil hat.

that forgetin goth77 dude though
he was always talking about how vaccines and medical corporations were evil and how he got all his medicine from weed
that dude is insane

that forgetin goth77 dude though

I'll admit he was a bit bad. I firmly believe in vaccinations myself. I even believe in pills and such in some situations, just personally I'd rather avoid them whenever I can.

i believe in pills for infections and physical disease, but not for mental disease. i've personally seen people's personality deteriorate from pills prescribed by psychologists. i'm supposed to take about 3 or 4 pills everyday for mental problems that i don't take for those very reasons. i took it maybe for one week and myself and others noticed a major shift in my personality.

Infections/most physical things are basically the only thing I'll support pills for. Pain and mental related stuff I'll have to say marijuana helps the most with. Personally.
I hear about some people getting paranoid more when smoking but that may have been caused by the certain strain, there are so many strains out there. At dispensaries they will list the ailments that a certain strain helps with.

just dropping a medication that you were prescribed after a week of usage is a really, really bad idea. it can lead to even more problems than if you were to just take it as prescribed

you should've just continued taking it and talked to your doctor ASAP about the personality shift
