[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 684428, member: 1157"] Youngest tried it in high school a few times, and it made her ultra paranoid. I came home from work one day and she thought she was dying.. I was convinced she'd gotten some pot laced with something else. Took her to the ER, they tested her, and nope, was jut plain old THC. They said it just affects some people that way. To my knowlege she never did it again. Not much, anyway. Oldest has used it for pain control, usually baked into something. I've read that people with Crohn's can be helped with cannibas oil too, and wish it were legal here for medicinal use so she could try that instead of some of the heavy duty medications she's on (immunosuppresants, etc.) Quite honestly, I'd rather she used pot for pain vs. the pain pills she has gotten so addicted to. It's not that simple though. I have several friends that still smoke recreationally. They're all productive, successful adults. To me the addictive nature of pot is similar to alcohol - some folks are able to enjoy/consume it responsibly, and some have an addictive personality and become addicts and add more dangerous substances as time goes on. A lot of D C 's tend to fall into the latter category, unfortunately. I do think overall, pot is less dangerous than alcohol (by itself, anyway). Just my opinion, though. [/QUOTE]
