3. Doctors, studies, “...it could...it may...but we’re not saying...” shlmiel, shlmozzle...monkey shit.

4. What about the munchie effect on the arteries?

   Consuming large quantities of cheetos, chips, popcorn, salted nuts, and whatever else is in sight, should balance out any positive circulatory changes.

   Observations from long past college experiences.

5. It doesn’t really help the heart (due to the ‘Munchie Effect’ mentioned by iteki) -

   You just don’t CARE!

6. Yesterday, Blazing Saddles, was on The Family Channel, of all places. Of course it was cut to pieces.

   I could not help but to think of OCM every time Old Gabby came on.

7. OCM,
   You’re a grownup.  Drive with your feet if ya want to.  Just stay out of my lane and I’ll stay out of yours.

   and sprinkled with cinnamon!”

   Oh, yuck....

9. OCM (#11),
   I had a bottle of Chianti with dinner the other day.  I wasn’t ripping on ya, I was saying it’s your decision and don’t let anyone tell you what to do.  Just don’t get hurt or hurt someone else.
   The ‘lane’ comment was a poke about your driving accident the other day.
   BTW, I trust you are recuperating nicely?

10. The potential psychological side effects are highly varied and depend on the quality of the cannabis, the way it is used, user experience with the drug, and also the patient’s mood at the time of administration.

    After consumption, a patient may experience euphoria which gradually changes to satisfaction, calm, and peacefulness. Other effects are: relaxation, laughing fits, increased appetite, great sensitivity to music and colors, changes in the perception of time and space, and laziness. A lack of reactivity can also be observed, particularly during the first hours after administration. Following inhalation, the first two hours are the most important. When resorting to oral ingestion, the first four hours are to be considered.

    The changes in perception can generate fear, panic and confusion. In patients who do not feel well, the drug can induce an even worse negative reaction.

    Daily consumption can affect memory capacity and concentration.

    There have been reports of restlessness and insomnia.

    Psychotic reactions may also occur, which can be recognized by the hallucinations they produce. Other side effects are tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension (when standing), headache, dizziness, the simultaneous feeling of cold and heat in feet and hands, reddened eyes, unresponsive muscles, dry mouth, etc.

    When smoked, the drug irritates the airways and in the long term can lead to diseases such as bronchitis, pharyngitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung cancer.

11. Mr. OCM

    Me too, except only 20 years in my case. Used to laugh uproariously (hmmm no spell check on this machine) when we watched Reefer Madness, when I was doing my research. The same movie without weed just ain’t funny. Anyhow, that stuff I posted matched my own experience in many respects. I wouldn’t have known then, or would I know now if I ever had orthostatic hypotension, standing or sitting.

12. Pot is also good for incontinence.  You still shit your pants, but it no longer bothers you.

14. OCM,
    Turnabout is fair play.  I missed YOUR clever innuendo about Lethal Weapon in #11!  It took me this long to notice.  How pathetic is that?  Maybe you should save me a bowl of purple paralizer…

15. My dau-in-law returned from California tonite—with her two younger sisters scoping out colleges.  The host had some brownies wrapped in aluminum foil on the back seat of her car.

    “Oh, don’t eat those!  They’re stale!”

16. Got to watch those CA college brownies…

17. With all due respect to Oink’s daughter-in-law and her sisters, I’d rather watch those CA college girlies…

18. Indeed!
