Um, there's no 'before' and 'after' with me concerning meds. No meds for this chap. Never ever.

Oh, I'm not being judgemental towards others here.. 'they're' just not my cup of tea.

Let's hope you can keep avoiding them, Lutra. :)

Lutra, soon you may have been on medication way longer than you ever knew.

In Germany they are treating a few people with ADHD with proper weed, with THC, people who do not react on Ritalin anymore. CBD, the stuff without THC is tested on how beneficial it is for people on the spectrum.

Treating a disease which people don't know enough about, with a drug that people don't know enough about seems insane to me.
"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?"

"When men lead by words that are false as they preach
Fatality waits in the wings
Surrounded by fools behind walls that are breached
Beware of the jester that sings"

Disease?

Communicable disease hopefully.  :thumbup:

*sneezes*

IMO...Weed has been around a lot longer than Ritalin, and I don't see any reports of liver failure from it.  Whatever works.

Concerning 'head-meds' I'm pretty sure I'll manage without them.. but thank you.  :)

Um, concerning me using mari-juanos.. I'll only smoke a couple of small spliffs in the evening. Say, between 20h30 and 22h30 (1/12 part of a day). My own grown, on my balcony/outside, a pure natural herbie. Kinda like I do with my thyme, parsley, chives, rosemary, etc... nil bullshit.. in proper organic soil.

I use it to help me fall asleep and during the day I don't smoke the stuff at all. Suit self if wish to view me as a pothead but then you're only 1/12 part right, I say.

And yes, I've read/heard (t'was a topic on a late night talk show yestereve/coincidentally) and the weedoil with low levels of THC and higher levels of CBD does seem to help quite a few people. From kids with serious epileptic troubles to juveniles with ADHD dx-es. Couple of handfulls on a Dutch Auti-forum say it's helpful for them as well.

Me? Not an ADHD-er, see no use for it myself since yeah..

The CBD oil works on anxiety and "onrust"/distress. Works like an anti-psychotic but on a different system in the brain, and with less side-effects. Some insurance companies now cover it.

Altrecht is doing a double blind study now to see how effective it is as medication next to therapy for anxiety problems.

Think a lot of people do self-medicate. And it is good to see that mental health and physical health research now take some of that self-medication serious.
And the self-medication that is taken serious, is cannabis, not alcohol.

I used to smoke a bit of pot in the evenings around age 20 and around age 40. Did me a lot of good. Slept better. Felt my muscles relax. Those are most of the times under too much tension. I did not like the effect of tobacco mixed with it though. (Dirty Dutch habit.) Felt the two things conflict in my body. So I stopped.

'Jinek' was the talkshow and I secretly love her. :smileyface: Maybe, if wished, you could view it on 'uitzending gemist'. T'was interesting.. the weedoil topic.

Shrink put both my kids on weedoil. And I am taking a drop of it too, now and then.
It is so common now that even the firm Jacob Hooy produces it. You can buy it at De Tuinen. Made from organic grown hemp, from Groningen.

Jinek, she is stunning. But I still don't know what to think of her. Can imagine lots of people having a crush on her, she is both beautiful and powerful.
