You haven’t come across the term in life??? i can list 12 people put into palliative care the last year. it means “in real life” that nothing more can be done and they are off to die in a quasi-hospital bed situation.

Pretty much acts as a mood stabilizer, helps with depression, anxiety, nausea and lack of appetite. CBD I take 3 times a day, weed I'll smoke sporadically. I do think there are healing benefits to THC, love combining the two together it's amazing. I prefer being sober though in my natural state so I don't smoke daily, I may smoke for a month and then take a month off. Once again though, the CBD is nonnegotiable, that must be taken daily.
Augie Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Don’t worry, folks. I have been informed that weed is probably safer than heroin. My source says he’s very well informed. 1 1 1

And that was not my point. Mom has some years left not in a hospice situation. Point is CBD is reducing her pain and emotional discomfort. You do not need to be on your death bead to appreciate that. 1 hour ago, row_33 said: You haven’t come across the term in life??? i can list 12 people put into palliative care the last year. it means “in real life” that nothing more can be done and they are off to die in a quasi-hospital bed situation.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 15 hours ago, NewDayBills said: Just a random thought, hope I am not violating the tos and I am sorry if I am but I am awfully curious about this topic. Obviously marijuana is banned by the NFL, but I've wondered for quite some time if football players smoke because it relieves symptoms of CTE. Do any of you think this is possible? It would be pretty tragic if the NFL banned a substance that could benefit their players mental health, especially with something as serious as CTE. I know weed helps treat a myriad of illnesses from bipolar disorder all the way down to arthritis and inflammation. Could marijuana benefit players and should the NFL take it off its banned substances list? It would be a shame if the NFL was taking away something that could be beneficial to its players. Do you guys think weed could actually help the NFL? Thoughts? I don't know if it will or won't affect CTE, but I know it works on a number of things that traditional medicine doesn't work on. Doctors at UCLA Medical that I know who work on breast cancer research say they call marijuana "The Cancer Killer" because they literally watch it kill cancer cells regularly. They looked me right in the eye and said 100% for sure, cannabis was going to cure cancer. I also have a close friend whose young son would have 20+ seizures a day and had little functional brain development as a result. Despite exceptional medical care and trying everything, it was only cannabis that helped. Within 1 hour of his first administration of cannabis treatment, his eyes already had more focus in it and his personally and brain function completely improved. He went from having 20+ seizures a day most of his young life, to instantly not having a seizure for more than 2 weeks after he started cannabis treatment. And now rarely haves them after over a year of treatment. My ex girlfriends Uncle had an inoperable massive brain tumor. There was nothing they could do for him, and they gave him 6 months to live. He tried what is called "Rick Simpsons Oil", also known as "Phoenix Tears" in some parts, and not only did he not die, but his tumor continued to aggressively shrink until it was completely gone during that "6 months to live" time frame.. His doctor just called him a "miracle" rather than acknowledge what really happened. Its been 8 years now, cancer free and very much alive. A similar thing happened in a little boy name Waldo and there is a full length documentary coming out on him next year from my director friend Tommy (same director who just released the doc "The Bill Murray Stories" (which is excellent by the way). I mean I could go on and on and on about real stories of real people who have had some type of cannabis medicinal application fix, cure, or help a serious condition that traditional medicine fails at. So the NFL 100% should explore the use of cannabis to treat CTE, especially in retired players. 1 3

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not...but in case you aren't or someone else thinks its a real statement, I want to point out this is 100% false. I mean if it was true, then you should call the news and the heads of medicine and alert the world on this breaking news. Because as of right now, there isnt a single recorded death in any country, state, tribe, island, etc in all of recorded human history attributed to an "overdose" of cannabis. Its actually scientifically and medically impossible to "overdose" smoking weed. The amount of weed you would have to smoke/ingest in a very short period of time is so substantial, that you would die of things like oxygen deprivation long long long before you would overdose from the weed itself.

billsfan89 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Marijuana could certainly help with killing pain and keeping retired players away from much more dangerous pain killers. As far as CTE I think maybe CBD oil and other treatments might be worth studying as alternative treatments but straight weed isn't going to help guys recover from a brain injury, weed isn't as harmful a drug as alchol or harder drugs but it isn't a magic plant either. Weed tends to have a negative effect on your cognition if you are a chronic user so I don't see how it would help with CTE. Edited December 28, 2018 by billsfan89

If you take CBD with THC the psychoactive effects are much more under control. I wouldn't smoke if I didn't take CBD, they need to be taken together. I don't notice too many dumb moments but that may be because I only pack 2 hitters at a time. I am not a pothead and despise that culture, should not be used like that. It's the same thing as having a glass of wine, 1-2 glasses are fine, but you're not supposed to drink the whole bottle. Same thing for weed, you'll never see me taking rips from a gas mask bong or smoking a blunt, I don't use it like that. 2 hits lasts 4 hours. Edited December 28, 2018 by NewDayBills

The NFL isn't a medical institute they aren't going to allow any drug until society accepts it and believe it or not society hasn't accepted it yet. I personally dont want or think we need a society of people doped up. I don't do any medication if it can be helped. Things are so bad right now with drug use why would you make anything legal? As far as treating people with a medical condition that's totally different and understandable. However if you guys think marijuana use doesn't kill people or that people haven't died because they've used it you are incorrect. In blood toxicology tests done in my state marijuana was the leading drug found in accidents where blood work was done. If you dont think it messes you up with cognitive function then you may want to reassess.

Yes but if you are suffering from CTE I don't think weed will help your brain is my main point. Chronic weed use has been associated with negative effects on the brain (That being said most if not all of the effects are reversible if you stop using over a long period of time.) So unless there is new research showing otherwise I think the better argument for weed is to treat pain for these retired players. CBD might be better for CTE but I think research needs to be done.
