my experience is that smoking adds days to sickness, edibles w a cbd component subtracts them.

Trying to smoke with a Cold
Don't you just sodding hate it when you have a stinking cold and can't taste or smell your J. What's worse, one doesn't think, oh I'll leave it until im better saving some gear as well but you'll carry on skinning up, waving a lit J under your nose to see if your smell has come back....tell me no one hasnt done that before đ

I think having a cold or the flu is the only time I ever give myself a tolerance break. You know you're over the worst when you can handle a spliff again.

What a disaster yes. In a good way makes your smoke last longer haha. But smelling your neibours whilst you cant smoke yours really hits home lol il probably go and get a cold now saying all this. Bless

Fuck FTX and that Twat who couldn't balance his books!
I'm not a techie or great with this stuff so wtf do we do when we need Crypto for our smoke now?? All major banks are following suit and restricting or in many cases suspending Crypto purchases. I saw the first sign of this when my Coinbase purchase was cancelled but then eventually went through but what in the actual fuck is happening?!?!

Hi Columbo
I ranted extensively about this a few weeks back.
First I found myself unable to buy BCs on Coinbase then after trying half a dozen of the other LB recommended exchanges it became obvious that it was my UK bank blockign the purchase.
I freaked out man, 4 months after signing up with LB I found myself willing and able to purchase BCs but with nowhere to go.
In the end I ended up signing up with eToro as it is the only fully FCA approved exchange.
i could buy some BCs form my UK bank but there is a 60 days wait before being able to transfer the BCs into the eToro wallet.
Good thing I squirelled away a couple of oz :-)
As pollypuff says Governments and the banking sector are clamping down our use of crypto.
You'll have an easier time getting rich by selling unusable PPE to the UK Gov (if you have the right connection that is).

Yeah I've done some googling, and currently my bank has restrictions but still able to buy but there some sort of algorithms involved cos I tried with one amount and computer said no! And my stomach instantly dropped with the coinbase mssg that account will be locked if another declined transaction takes place, tried again with ÂŁ5 more and it went through so now i have an amount and i will just stick to it. Its all all very shady, should've just moved to Amsterdam in the early days when young and free, would've been set up with a life less hectic than here with the best smoke and maybe not so best but pretty stoned ho's on tap đ

I feel your pain.
This place is a Godsend and the thought of being unable to buy here is a downright nightmare scenario for me too.
As I said if eToro is FCA endorsed I expect most UK banks to rubberstamp eToro transactions.
Besides the wait I am still pondering using a second wallet to transfer out of the eToro wallet before paying.

Hi CosmicFlames
Yes Revolut is on my list of things to investigate but right now all of my BCs are on eToro so I'll wait until mid-Jan to see how that goes.
I'll report to the Biggas once I'll havebeen able to purchase from the eToro wallet.

The future of crypto as a method of payment by individual transaction is not bright imo.

If you use Bittylicious it is done through BACS transfer so no worries about purchases being cancelled. Iâve been using them for a while now and never had a problem.

Buy an NFT using a marketplace that allows debit card payments, instantly floor that jpeg at a loss and pay the 10% royalties. Then either swap or bridge that crypto into bitcorn and there you will have 1% of the value left to buy your smoke. Just rinse and repeat until you have enough for your order. NFA

Just wow, perhaps my sarcasm detector is off so I'll bite in case you're being serious.
There is a reason this site is a popular clear net site when there are many many dark net, ig and tele weed sales channels. Whilst you may be trying to help, this would require much greater explanation to ensure safe transactions.
People want simplicity, speed and convienence. Your method is valid, it wouldn't help the majority though.

I just use Cex. You can top up your account with pound sterling and then convert to BTC. Havenât had any of the issues with my bank and Coinbase and others I tried. Itâs a bit of a faff, but it gets the job done

try wirex, its quick from topup to sending but you need to validate, you can use credit card or debit to topup then convert to btc

they didnt let you send crypto externally when i looked at them, lets you buy buts its all held on the app with no external transfer options. on the flip side for holders its a safe way to store as i think i read it was insured.

Has anyone tried crypto.com? We use them sometimes and seem pretty safe.
We also receive a lot of payments from binance accounts.

One of the sketchiest of them all bro. Anywhere offering stupid amounts of roi through staking is a no no.

It's only a no no if you don't know how to use an unstake & sell button. Otherwise no harm in chasing those 395737284940274738% APY yield farms for a day or two đ¤ đŤ´

No harm other than the fact the coin can go to 0 in seconds and lose all your money in that day or two lmao. Wish it was that easy to make money.

THC and Migraines

THC and Migraines
I feel as though I am in a position to post on this subject to verify that THC definitely does prevent migraine. During 18 months of being on LB, my hash consumption has been consistent up until now, with a few forced T breaks during Nov and Dec due to RM delays and additional dry days here and there. I have suffered from chronic migraines for over 10 years but the last year and half have been amazing where they have been largely absent, I believe this is because of the quality hash I have been exposed to... Take that away now for a few days and I'm left with ever so familar and debilitating migraines. Interesting to hear who else is a migraine sufferer and how THC helps them.
I will be ordering something tonight đ¤đŻ
I will be ordering something tonight đ¤đŻ

Hey, i get thunderclap headaches, they usually range from 10-20 seconds every few hours, i find personally that weed helps decrease the time that they persist and increases the length between each one.

Though i've heared its different for other people, its really a per-person thing, not everyones body will react the same way

I've had my worst day today in a couple of yrs, have had to take more triptans than i would normally have taken in a day. Mine are debilitating, a piercing pain right behind my eyeball, enough to bring a man to tears. Without Triptans I'd have to long it out now i have to revert to my old way of dealing with them... As soon as i get the tingle telling me its in the post, i bosh 2 Soluble paracetamol, 2 400mg ibuprofen and 1 triptan, endure the pain and blurred vision for 45mins to 1hr and then as quick as it came on, it goes like it was never there. Now i just have constant anxiety thinking about when the next one will strike đ¤

Iâm get âstasis migrainosusâ which is probably one of the worst, mine last for a couple of days.
I usually get the visual aura or âstars/lighteningâ effects that mean I canât see properly or do anything including driving.
Then comes the headache that tails off for a couple of days, nausea and some numbness in hands and face. The actual migraine lasts around a couple of hours but the after effects last a couple of days.
To be honest I wouldnât wish it on anyone, it horrible.
Luckily I get them very rarely and itâs usually certain food groups that trigger it. And Iâve had them since I was about 10. Iâm in my mid 50s now.
Iâve only ever really smoked hash for many years.
Iâm not sure if it has actually helped me with migraines though,
Itâs certainly not made it worse so I guess thatâs a plus!! :)

I'm sure you already know that LSD was discovered whilst researching for a migraine cure, and indeed psychedelics (including mushrooms) more recently have been involved in studies for those with migraine.
I don't know how or if this is linked to theraputic THC.

Society orders
Hi all, I've yet to place an order while logged on Society via TOR but will soon need to given the ridiculous amount of outage on open net right now, the worst I've experienced in my 18 months of using LB. Might be a silly questionas I know mssgs and posts are but are order successfully getting through to vendors when placed through society, I expect they are but was just looking for some reassurance from the happy biggas who have....much appreciated!!

Hey bud my orders are all coming through fine and being sent out. Donât think thereâs an issue on here with that other than being abit slow Eddy

Paid still not showing Sent
I ordered a ndd, paid and cleared before cutoff from a rated vendor but unusually item is still not showing sent and now 2nd day still no response or change in status to sent. Anyone else experiencing similar?

That's good to know on an unsent item, I didnt know this. Appreciate a link to any guidance or t's&c's when this happens on the site. I suppose its different when it says sent and just doesn't come, which I haven't had to experience my self but this is the first long silence and nothing sent issue I've had. Let's wait and see đ

I have. Sometimes errors are made and mistakes happen. The vendor should come through if it's a popular one though. I made an order with a popular vendor and paid NDD. Ordered Thursday and it didn't arrive Friday. Allowed another day in case it got held up and still didn't arrive on the Saturday. I messaged them and got a response on the Sunday. They checked it out and come back to me with apologies. It had been missed and not even sent. They sent it on the Monday and I got it Tuesday. Shit happens đ¤ˇââď¸

I have a little faith, they are normal people and have lives outside of this... still, puts me out a bit and the whole idea of ndd kind of goes out the window, it's the not knowing is what it is and the ndd fee of course lol! I'm hoping today or tonight as it is with most vendors on here will be the one, will they or won't they? And that feeling of disappointment when you know its not gonna happen. I havent named the vendor but they gave never faulted in the past with any order so remain hopeful, if nothing else the lack of having it for a few days might lower my tolerance lvls and when it does come, it'll be that much better.
Rock on Biggas!
Will update and name vendor with nothing but praise if and when they do come through and mssg back.

It is different if you were expecting it and are dry until it does land, but yeah, little unexpected t-breaks can be a good thing đ It's the cost as well, I know. You've paid for it. If it's a trusted vendor that you've had no issues with in the past, I'd allow a little cock up now and then. They'll come through mate, I'm sure đ

There is movement, no reply to mssgs but order showing sent now, although my new fear is being realised as Ive discovered on another thread on LB about this vendor having slipped since start of Jan, quite a few similar comments in fact. Let's now see how long it takes, my post round here is like clockwork and so should be with me on Sat, wait for update...

I mean the state of this place now, the daily sabotage attempts, i wouldn't be surprised if it's a salty vendor or one of their minions, but with that being said it does also read a bit like a new user who hasn't tried much other than old school gack bar and is confused why his hash doesn't taste like plastic lol

đ just decoys used.. and I did get all of that fishing equipment lol.. not so happy cause hash is stuck inside the vacuum seal pack.. donât think he packed them individually like before⌠just waiting on the names of the strains and the freezer đ¤Śââď¸ packing is all yoursâŚ. there should be a ton of hash stuck to it.

I just tried the batch I received yesterday and I can only vouch for RealD and the quality of his products! Really amazing and strong! Will publish a complete review ASAP

is it that you don't see how you empower your adversary when you do this or do you think any promotion is good ;)

HOW DOES CANNABIS HELP YOU MEDICALLY?
Let us know in the comments, one of YOU will win 3.5G of FREE MEDICATION :)

I mainly use it to keep my stress levels under control. I would find myself getting super stressed about silly things. So much so that I could feel my blood pumping around my body. I've never been aggressive or violent, but I would constantly be stressed out. To start with I was trying to control it with Stella and super string cider. Then I found myself with a constant acid burning feeling in my belly.. then 4 years ago my misses suggested I made the change to weed and I have never looked back. Although it does make me lazy sometimes haha. But I'd rather have that than have a heart attack at 46 lol

lol, defitenely alcoohol in the long run wouldn't have helped you much, it would have really destroyed body and soul. thank god you listened to your misses, wise change. don't forget the simple things, walk barefoot in nature once in a while with your misses, quality time in nature. she saved you with that suggestion lol.
peace and love to you both, tgt x.
peace and love to you both, tgt x.

Thanks man I'm certainly a different man now. I will tell her what you said, very kind. Wishing you and the team much love and peace too and thanks for your suggestion we will walk with nature at the weekend x

I doubt the Stella or Super Strong cider helped with any violent tendencies you may or may not have had đ¤ Agree though that laziness over cardiac arrest any day đ

I'm gonna apologise up front. Didn't intend to make this a long post but it's mad the things you remember when you're baked and start writing đđ¤Ł.
TLDR: shit happens and weed helps.
Had back problems for years due to a protruding disc, that was mis-diagnosed because I started with psoriatic arthritis around the same time(2009ish).
Weed helped me with pain relief alongside co-codamol, but I also found it good for appetite, sleep and just my all round mood and mental health while I went through the methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, humira ordeal trying to free up my joints so I could get back to work.
MRI scan found the dodgy disc around 2015, had surgery to shave off the protruding bit but that didn't work very well so it was 4 years or so of epidural steroid and nerve blocking injections (evil procedure to go through đ), NSAIDs, gabapentin and sitting on the waiting list for fusion surgery.
Life got interesting when I had the fusion done at the end of 2019. Initially it was amazing.
Sciatica gone.
After a couple of months of recovery and rehab, I was in a lot less pain, cutting down on the co-codamol and thinking about starting to come off the gabapentin, and just using the weed to relax and ease the remaining aches and pains, that were a lot more manageable, at the end of the day.
Much success đŞ
So may 2020, middle of the initial covid meltdown, I've been back in work full time for 3 and a half weeks working on home extension, already worried about the possibility of being banned from working ("they wouldn't close the entire country down, would they?" đˇđ).
5am. I'm in the kitchen doing stretching exercises and drinking tea while I wait for my morning round of pills to start working.
I'd been giving myself a couple of hours to get get my body in gear every morning before being picked up.
I was leaning over the breakfast bar, using it to lift most of my weight up off my feet to stretch the bottom of my back out. I lowered myself down and took a step towards the kettle on my right and SNAP!
Left leg gone đ
tibia and fibula both completely separated and my foot/ankle wobbling about whilst I lay on the deck screaming.
9 days in hospital with no visits allowed waiting for a surgeon to glue me back together and I'm back home with a bottle of morphine and an 18 inch titanium bar with 16 screws stopping the wobble.
The surgical wounds took a loooong time to heal up and I wasn't discharged until January 2021. Took me a while to start trusting my new bionic left leg, but by March I was back on light duties at work and starting to feel a little bit more positive about the world.
This time I managed 2 weeks of being a productive member of society before a flipping egg yolk size blister appeared on my shin, burst and carried on leaking what I thought was blood.
It actually took them nearly 4 weeks to get me in for an "emergency" xray that showed osteomyelitis had travelled along 3 of the screws, into the bone and along the titanium, which basically required removal of all metalwork, a tablespoon size chunk of bone scraped out and one of those fancy pico dressings for a month while the massive hole on my shin tried to close up.
Mean time, the sciatica is back due to "irritation" of the nerve, and I'm hobbling around on a leg that i trust less than I'd trust Michael Jackson to babysit my kids.
My head is fooked.
I think I may have ptsd.
Pain clinic won't do anything until I've had counselling, that I've been waiting for since October 2021, and it feels like the pain specialist's attitude is basically deal with it đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Body is knackered, head is knackered, I applied for pip in June 2021 and am still waiting for a tribunal date after being diagnosed fully able bodied over the phone.
So for all of that shit đ (there's more but most have probably given up reading by now đ¤Ł), the one constant comfort has been the beautiful miss Mary Jane and her ability to stop me from feeling like shit 24/7 365.
She's helped me to deal with an absolute shit hand of cards, in many ways, and I love her very much đĽ°đ .
If you got this far, we'll done! Treat yourself to a cannabis product of your choosing đđ

your writing skills are so captivating, felt like I was reading a book.
so many difficult moments you have been through, really had to be a warrior.
have you ever looked into any alternative/integral medicine or holistic treatments as well? neural therapy with procaine shots are amazing to regenerate the nervous tissue, many times our scars contribute for pain in other parts of our body. seems like a small detail, but could bring you more life quality in the long run. I would look into accupunture as well, or even deep tissue massage.
lots of love, tgt x

Haha, thanks.
I could've kept writing for another hour about all of the treatments I've tried.
Massage is very good for relieving tight muscles and the different buzzing, tingling, aching sensations that I get down my left leg and groin. Only problem is that relief (in my case) is very short term.
I have a spot on the top of my foot, along the first 2 metatarsal bones, that feels like I'm getting text messages on vibrate all the time. Aches like a mofo constantly.
But when I get some oil on it and give it a good strong massage, it's like flipping a switch!
All the sciatica pains down my leg stop, the vibrating sensation stops texting me and the mental relief is amazing.
The trade off though, is that the foot ache goes from constant low to mid level nagging pain, to a super localised stabbing pain right at that one spot.
The mixture of instant relief and whatever endorphins and stuff that gets released, and the new, sharp pain from the massage is very hard to describe. I'll just say that the kids find the noises I make absolutely hilarious đ¤Ł.
I'm usually back to aching within the hour, but every little helps, right? đ

Of course I read it I'm baked rn too! i feel ya pain buddy (literally lol) its places like this that give us a chance to post stuff like that and it be totally cool so good on ya cos mine was a lot shorter, one day at a time well sometimes one hour at a time but theres always hope in the smallest of things and weed enhances that so much, lost count of the times i cant take any more meds and im chain smoking weed and throwing in some booze for good measure and then I find the right music to make me forget for just a little bit and then the drink gets put down and the smile widens as the THC has met with my wanna be dancing music part of my brain and ganged up to kick the hell out of the pain part for a bit! Boy weed rants are good lol, peace bro and hope you're not in too much pain atm

I use cannabis to help me switch off and unwind and ultimately sleep.. always had a problem relaxing and falling asleep ever since I was a kid and younger according to my mother.

wow, really serious issue. lack of sleep in the long run can cause so many harm to our health. alongside mary jane, some mineral reposition is key to a great quality sleep. sleep is physical as it is metaphysical, I mean, it can have a lot to do with our biochemicals. it's good to look for a doctor who works with mineral/vitamins reposition. mineral and vitamin absorption is a complex thing, many times our body needs a substance to be able to absorb another substance. I know that magnesium citrate and potassium can help, but this means nothing if your system lacks another substance in order to absorb them. have you looked into that yet?

Thanks for that insight but I donât think itâs a serious issue.. a little herb a couple of hours before bed and make sure I donât go to bed stoned out of my head then I can switch off easily and have a restful night.
Accompanied by my varied and balanced diet with regular exercise and Iâm good to go. Cheers lads.

Takes away my aches and pains,Iâve got a physical job and Iâm getting on a bit(over 50)and I do a bit of running,so a bit of smoke relaxes my muscles,and help me recover,plus also relieves a bit of depression you know what itâs like now days with all the shit going on.đ
I think it nourishes your endocanabanoid system also.
Happy smoking đ

glad to hear mary jane brings relief to your pains. also, magnesium citrate replacement helped me a lot with the contractures and muscular pains that I had. and, without a doubt, psilocybin exorcised the depression demon out of me (and many other people that are also healing from it with psychedelics therapy).

I use it to alleviate anxiety, depression, BPD and PTSD symptoms. It's not a miracle cure, but it most definitely helps. CBD every day, THC on the weekends. The CBD helps me with the every day anxiety, panic attacks and sleep problems. Vaping bud on the weekend helps me to feel normal, able to concentrate and like I'm not going completely insane with the flashbacks and emotional outbursts.

indeed, holy mary jane. there has been lots of studies on how this medicine lowers ptsd symptoms, more even with the association of thc - cbd. glad you found this relief.
I also heard of a new therapy treatment with induced lucid dreaming, sounds really interesting! in case you are not open to psilocybin. psychedelic therapy has been super effective for ptsd and depression. for bpd I guess the research is still recent, but studies show how psilocybin improves emotional regulation. in my case, the best for my depression was psilocybin.
but of course, I'm no doctor and every body is a different universe.

As a younger me I had an accident on a bike breaking my arm and damaging my back, have used it since I was a teenager (alongside cocdamol) and find it helps massively with IBS and the cramping as again doctors would rather shrug it off and say crack on.

it's easier nowadays to listen to a doctor prescribe a drug that in the long run brings more risks to our system than a doctor who stands up to the medical council and recognises the efficacy of plants or is aware of the languages of the body.
if your IBS is not related to family history or bad eating habits, as is the case of my cousin, it is very much related to our mental health or even to the use of antibiotics in the long run without the essential supplementation of good bacteria (probiotics and/or prebiotics).
interesting to notice how through mary jane we can observe the intestine-brain brain-intestine communication. it relaxes, nurtures your thoughts, consequently relaxes a bit more your IBS.
have you tried the good bacteria to strenghen you? the use of probiotics can promote modulation of the intestinal microbiota by competition and consequent inhibition of pathogen adhesion to the intestinal epithelium, which means that they improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function by downregulating of mucosal immune activation, increasing mucus layer and tight junction protein production. so, in general, it promotes anti-inflammatory effects through the suppression of pro-inflamamatory cytokines, improving intestinal immunity and stimulating the production of secretary IgA (immunoglobin A, very important for the defense of the mucous membrane) and intestine-brain communication.
I'm an enthusiastic about psychosomatics, integral health and chinese medicine. through an holistic view, our intestines teach us that more important than possessing is knowing how to enjoy, that offering is as vital as conquering and that the only true appropriation is the possession of oneself. in the movement of filling and emptying, they enable each individual to know themselves, to build themselves, to exercise themselves, to improve themselves and to offer themselves, guaranteeing the healthy peristalsis of behaviour and emotions.
I went deep on this one, lol.

helps me deal with my social anxiety, ASD and insomnia. doubt id be here if it wasnt for mary jane

some plants can really save our soul. I feel a deep gratitude to be able to work with a plant that helps you have more peace and health. your comment touched me.

I get relief from anxiety, and also muscle cramps due to being on my feet all day working. And it helps when I'm feeling a bit down. I think things would definitely be worse without it.

weed defitenely helps in this situation. if I were you I would pay attention to the cramps, they can mean lots of things. even dehydration because if you spend long times up in your feet, you need to guarantee good blood flow. low mineral depletion could also be a factor that enhances this kind of pain. since I started to replenish magnesium citrate in my body (1 pill during the morning and 2 at night) i've slept much better and felt much less muscular cramps. things we eat interfere a lot in our blood supply as well. just avoid dehydration as much as you can. i'm no doctor but, wish you all the best.

Ur totally right dehydration happens a lot due to not stopping and having liquids enough at work, sometimes find myself at 5pm having only had one drink for the day but that's my fault, but something I'm gonna improve see if it helps. Cheers guys.

It helps just about everything for me, pain relief for both diabetic neuropathic and back injury pain. It reduces apnea:(it started when I had a five year break) and insomnia. And the main one for me is anxiety, although I must say the munchies do not help the diabetis!

For me it helps with sciatica, put my back out some years ago and itâs never been right since, some days itâs grand others very painful
Traditional painkillers do nothing only rot my liver so a mix of edibles and smokeables really helps

traditional painkillers bring so much destruction to our body. nothing better than a substance which integrates with our systems. look for a rolfing method certified therapist, rolfing is amazing, it helps the improvement of posture in a way that lasts. with ten appointments it's possible to recover one's biomechanics. left this video here to illustrate the technique a bit more.

18 year ago I de gloved my lower right leg. Had reconstructive surgery looks like a shark bite I lost all movement and feeling in my leg so I donât walk like I should and over the years it has resulted in damage to my hips and knees ha. Cannabis helps in so many ways with the pain and muscle spasms I get in leg. Hereâs a picture ha i was ashamed of it for years but now I donât give a fuck ha cannabis also helped with that ha

I suffer with seizures, cannabis
has given me my life back to the point I can go mountain biking again. It's literally a godsend and nothing the dr's and neurologists have given me has worked, so feck pills I'll stick to the herb.
Interesting thread this I've enjoyed reading all of your reasons, I still find it mad that alcohol is legal and weed isn't. Long term alcohol use has never helped anyone, but look what this plant can do.

I'm an amputee...lbk. I get terrible phantom limb pain...burning/ intense pins and needles...permanently! Have tried everything to control it and I really don't sleep much...tbh the best way to sleep for me us to get absolutely wankered so I pass out...obvs this is not a good life choice! Weed/ hash helps me cope and keeps me relatively sane...also helps me sleep...sometimes.
This is why I'm always placing my orders at 3am đ

When I was around 11, I was diagnosed with a number of muscular diseases, triggered by an aggressive virus. This whole process also led to me developing anxiety and stress epilepsy. Nothing really helped, painkillers can have a minor effect and keeping yourself fit and healthy definitely makes it a bit easier, but there was never any true relief. That was until a friend introduced me to hash at 14. At first it was just fun because I thought it was cool and I'd never experienced anything like it. As I got older I started to enjoy learning about the varying effects different strains of weed/hash could have. I also began to realize how much relief it gave me from my pain in my head and body. I got into the routine of going to school and then work, and having a smoke at the end of each day to wind down. No matter how much pain I was in physically or mentally, cannabis gave me true relief. I could have the most stressful day of my life, come home in a shit mood, but after I smoke my worries disappear, as does the pain.
Cannabis is amazing and it's a shame it's been a pawn in political agendas for the last 50 odd years because it's a wonder drug that everyone should have access to at least every once in a while. Little Biggy is fantastic because once you find sellers you trust, you're guaranteed quality at a cheaper price than on the street. Been ordering from TGT for a couple years now and not planning on stopping anytime soon x

Anxiety and back pain.
The back pain has been a constant and due to being an oversized bean pole with a desk job will probably never go away for good. But since lockdown I've found cannabis is the only thing that lets me release the tension and focus on the bits I need to do my physio effectively, without it I over-tense and can't activate the muscles I need to without activating everything else around them.
The anxiety is a bit different, sometimes it's low level and I don't need cannabis to help, sometimes I can tie myself up so much I stammer... until I smoke. This is a more recent problem brought on by long periods of high stress, but people keep telling me to get diagnosed for ASD, which would explain a lot! I watched a video the other day where this doctor said some people use cannabis "to modulate neurodivergent behaviour" and thought that sounds about right! đ

So I have a flipside medical story...
A few years ago I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed. Subsequently I am prescribed levothyroxine which is a synthetic thyroxine substitute. Without it I would go into a coma and die. Problem is it is common to struggle to get the dosage right as it is all linked to diet and hormones and there are some horrible side effects. Palpitations, trembling, stomach cramps etc.
Anyway I have smoked weed for the last 30 years but then the THC exacerbated my symptoms and made me far worse.... so I had to stop. God I miss it. Nowadays I smoke occasionally, usually in the mornings when the dreaded surge has yet to awaken.
The moral is...there is a flipside to weed and it's impact on our lives is not always a path to utopia.... just saying

PTSD means I have hyper vigilance, I'm always on edge.
When I smoke I feel normal again. I can work, engage with friends, and be a happier, more productive version of myself. Keeps the nightmares away too lol

In July last last year in 2021 i had a life changing event not what I ever imagined at my age. I was in so much agony I could have been paralysed if they didnât do the emergency operation on meâŚ
Iâm 33 and had both my discs removed from lumbar spine which has put me in a wheelchair, due to weakness and tremors in both legs.
Iâve had physio and Iâve been discharged from them too.
Pain killers donât do me justice cannabis or hash is my pain relief, it helps me get an appetite as been bed bound I dont ever feel hungry so it helps.
I am in severe pain everyday due to been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, cannabis helps my pain. Without any bad side affects unlike prescribed medication from doctors. That make you feel terrible.
Im not able to get upstairs due to my house that cant be adapted. Im on a waiting list for an adapted property so im able to have a proper shower as i havent had a proper bath/shower since july 2021.
Upon all of above it has affected my mood by having these life-changing effects. Before I had 6 jobs n now Iâve been medically retired!
Cannabis also helps me sleep and get a good nights rest, without it I donât sleep.
It also helps with stress to help me concentrate better. And stop me from been scratchy.

It helps me with massively with migraines. I've been suffering with really bad migraines since I was 7, have been going to doctors about it for about 15 years now and I still haven't found a medication to work as well as weed.
It is quite astounding how much of a difference weed makes, there's times where it makes it dissipate completely. I have yet to even get close to getting such relief using the prescribed medication doctors give me. I experienced weed in College and haven't looked back since.

I use hash only for migraine prevention. I have suffered for more than 10years with chronic, debilitating, pupil piercing pain, every other day if not daily. I'm on Triptans for the pain and anti-psychotic preventatives after no other preventative medication would take. The preventatives i take are in the main for people with epilepsy to prevent seizures, amazing really! Anyway, I found my regular source of hash when I found LB and my migraines have been all but absent for the past 18months, but ove the last 4 odd weeks, due to forced T breaks and dry days here and there, my migraines are creeping back in, and the pain which was all becoming but a distant memory now are becoming all too real again. I have stockpiled quite a few Triptans but I still have to wait for the migraines to set in before i can take them and endure a hell of a time with pain before they take effect. I don't want to start taking the epi pills again. The ridiculously good quality of hash available on LB is what has made my quality of life so much better and TGT were the firat vendors I used on here and was blown away with their Ketama Gold, remember that one guys...if you get any back in i would just love some! Now am just waiting for some orders to land but sodding RM is not helping, longest wait so far as of today waiting 14 days and counting for a normal post pack. Stay cool đ

I use it to improve my mood, relaxation and sleep...I used to use alcohol to relax but glad I changed...

Oh yeah its why im here, 17 years security services then a major spinal injury so a decent indica helps the PTSD and pain relief, I buy a lot of shakes from here to smoke and make a cannabutter with the rest as I have to take price into account now i'm retired, weed improves my quality of life so much I literally cant put how much into words. Ty to all growers, vendors and smokers who keep this site going!

I smoke to treat long-term C-PTSD symptoms. It is the only thing that relieves the physical stress held in my body. Research shows mushrooms are one of the best treatments for alleviating symptoms and regenerating atrophied receptors in the pre-frontal cortex, but I have too much anxiety to hold my shit together on mushrooms so they are a no go for me. Weed is is the only way.

I've been prescribed it medically for just over 2 years and it's made a massive difference to nerve damage and pain that the pills side effects can ruin minds and relief never came, I used to just enjoy it recreationally but daily medical use changes how i view and use cannabis and the state of the legal

After ending up with long COVID, cannabis has become the one thing that's effective at removing the pain. It's so much easier trying to sleep and make my way through the day thanks to this đ

I have a back injury from the military and ADHD and OCD, so nowadays when I'm a bit older that's pretty much why I smoke cannabis in the evening for. I'm leaning more for the Indicas/Kush to be honest, but it's also nice to have some good old haze on a nice summer day. If this was US, I would be 1st. On the medical cannabis card, but let's wait and see, at least we got LB and TGT since I'm really againts any street level retailers. Thanks for being here for us, and for exceptional service đ

Oh Snr.Nuthead, life would be so much easier if you just put dates on these posts! đđ

Entered last time wasn't given a number. Iam in , hopefully with a number. Bring back MAC Pistach. Loved it

Controversial topic... does the younger generation know about getting beaten as a kid for punishmentđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Ive had this conversation with many people and its always a subject that has the potential to raise concerns but its normal for anyone above the age of 25ish or ethnic backgrounds.
Personally ... everyone i spoke to think that the reason the world and the new generation is so soft.. is simply the fact that parents dont hit their children anymore as discipline and its a general thought among mid 40s generation.
Its crazy because it used to be a common thing to smack your kid for misbehaving or even smacking the kid of your friend to teach them a lesson.
And this was like this for probably thousands of years for all we know đ¤Łđ¤Ż But these days you could get locked up quickly for that.
Do you think getting hit as a kid did good for you or bad for you? ( physical abuse is different, we are talking about disciplining) and do you think less beatings are creating weak children or the opposite?
Its mad, this topic always comes up some way or another... either in gym or even walking down the road and seeing an old timer.

Personally I was hit as a child and it didnât do me any good long term, the issue is itâs the fear of it that works more than the actual act imo, the issue is sometimes words arnât heeded to so a smack on the bum or legs is the next step to make the point, I have never and would never hit my child in any way, Iâd rather use psychological tools, like time outs and taking luxuries away but in the past kids didnât have as much their lives now depend on like phones and consoles etc so that deterrent wasnât around. The issue is I actually do believe in smacking IF itâs done right, in a calm and controlled manner, the issue is itâs usually not, itâs in a time of despair and anger and then discipline suddenly becomes a beating and thatâs simply never ever ok obviously.

Hello, I am in my mid 20's.
With where I live and everyone I went to school with, I have never received, seen, or know of a beating or "physical punishment" my entire life. When it came to discipline in our house, it was either being grounded, toys being taken away, time out, stay outstide in the garden. This was very effective for me as I lose something that occupies my time and gives me joy. For my sister it was a lot harder. Her behaviour seemed to remain the same of being a terror spoilt child and it wasn't stopping, my mum was threatening her with military school and that seemed to change her. My sister had a habit of making every punishment a treat. Sell her toys? Good, she likes the space. Send her to the garden for not eating food? Good, she will play in the garden. Every punishment didn't work. But when threatened to join a military school, that was something that couldn't lead to a fun alternative.
My mum got smacked on the backside if she fooled around, stole, or didn't do chores. I even asked my mum about this and she thinks that giving your child a smack is what you do to a child that is spoilt, never gets punished or never takes punishment seriously, and is bullying kids at school.
My dad on the other hand, his father can die underneath a jail cell. His step father is more of a father and man than that guy will ever be and I have never nor wanted to meet him. Only the oldest brother in my dads family was the only one who remained in contact. The rest of the family wanted nothing to do with him and reject him. My father hated him so much that he left the home at 16, denounced him as a father and didn't talk to or see him since.
Personally. If my dad or mum resorted to hitting me to correct my behaviour, then I wouldn't want to see them again and if I did i'd end up getting violent. But that's simply because I was a good kid in a sense? Like I said for my previous writing, taking something away from me was enough punishment enough and I really didn't know why. Only to find out in my adult hood that I have ADHD and mild autism, so taking away my computer was literally leaving me like a brainless zombie waiting for the days to end and I didn't want that to happen anymore so my behaviour corrected really easily after punishment.
I currently have the most loving best family in the world, they are everything to me, they come first, they were always there and believed in what I do and my life. There is no bad blood or trauma and I think that my parents parenting was the best way to do it for me.
In terms of being "soft". I don't really know what that means. If we are talking about never fighting back or letting people use you. Then i'm gonna be honest, I learnt more about bullies and how to handle them from prison movies like Mean Machine. First year in my school if someone tried to step up to me for what ever reason, i'd gladly start fighting. And then I won't get in any fights for the rest of my time in school. Its okay to lose a fight or what ever, its just about showing the bully and everyone else that you WILL fight back if fucked with, you ain't gonna be an easy target. My last fight was on the first year of high school at age 11, haven't been in a fight since.
Personally don't want kids, I think I would be too frustated and would result to quick methods to make them sleep, behave, eat food, anything. I'm even struggling to make sure my life is in order and everything is okay, adding a child for mandatory looking after for at least 18 years is not something I wanna sign up for.
I can't really give a one sided answer on if disciplining your kids is a yes or no solution. Imma just say its complicated and requires a lot of factors for each family as to why they do or don't do it and how it effected the child.

Personally don't want kids, I think I would be too frustated and would result to quick methods to make them sleep, behave, eat food, anything. I'm even struggling to make sure my life is in order and everything is okay, adding a child for mandatory looking after for at least 18 years is not something I wanna sign up for.
I can't really give a one sided answer on if disciplining your kids is a yes or no solution. Imma just say its complicated and requires a lot of factors for each family as to why they do or don't do it and how it effected the child.

Ofcourse each individual is different and obviously parents will learn ways to discipline children through processes of trial and error, i have no negative opinions on parents that choose to discipline their children in the ways that suit them.
Everyone grows up different but with this topic its more generalised to the ages and how its seen as bad now more than before

I donât think itâs about âbeatingsâ, I think itâs about boundaries. Parents are just not setting them. This doesnât necessarily mean they grow up as feral chimps (although some do), but they grow up confused and always trying to see how much further they can push things.
Modern parents want to be their kids âmatesâ and I donât think that works. But before we solve that we have to understand why kids are starting school not even toilet trained and eating baked beans with their fingers.
In an ideal world no one of any age would ever lay a hand on another in anger or reproach. I guess we should try and live up to that ideal.
I never got a hiding from my mother that I didnât deserve, but another relative was violent in a way that still troubles me if I think about it todayđ¤ˇââď¸

Being your kids mates is hard, its something that comes naturally but also i feel like the natural order of respect must be adhered to.. i think children must ... out of respect have fear of their parents.
But not fear like in the way of afraid of the punishment... more in the way of fearing the disappointment you get from them

lol does this topic really come up at the gym? like big hard men grunting in the mirror while complaining about how they can't beat up kids without getting in trouble? they sound like the weak ones to me! although tbh I'd bet they don't even have kids they just saw a meme lol (I don't have kids either mind so what would I know)

Whyâs it always about generation? Kids still get beat you no it still does no good Iâd argue the fact you think this is ok doesnât make it ok and definitley not everyone whoâs experienced it would agree with you mate no disrespect but your parents obviously smacked up you which was fine normal back then but I strongly believe kids deserve respect and a good example set scaring them into doing something is them fearing you not the same thing as respect

Ye of course would be a boring world without different opinions hope you have a good rest of your day

đđ𤣠canât get this image out my head now thanks for lightning the mood. Honestly think itâs silly this is still in question. Violence breeds violence I was an angry teenager not by my nature but nurture sorted myself out a long time ago and am the person I always was deep down just saying not judging anyone

Terrible take IMO
Hitting your child only demonstrates that you have lost your own self control
Edit: - unless you deliver the blows in a calm and considered fashion but then youâre displaying some other iffy characteristics

100% was a good thing.
The way its portrayed today - violence against children - of course it makes sense to oppose violence.
But what you are talking about is discipline, which is different to violence. Today it seems that there is no distinction and the concept of discipline has long been lost...

I think weâre in a shaky middle ground where we may of gone to far the other way but I donât think kids today are to soft thereâs nothing wrong with wanting a better less aggressive humanity..maybe lack some boundaries but you can set those without hitting kids.. i think itâs good weâve moved away from it.. if you hit a kid as punishment what are you really teaching them?

This lack of distinction between discipline and outright violence is the reason people fear for childrens safety. But people have also lost trust in the parenting abilities which makes everyone think its only violence.
Its hard to explain but you have to have lived it , in order to know what the distinction is.
