[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 99845, member: 3626"] My best friend had cancer. She tried the pills but they did nothing for her nausea. Her doctor finally told her to find a Deadhead and get some grass and smoke it because she was losing 5 lbs a week from not being able to keep anything down. I truly believe it saved her life. I have friends who have grown their own for the past 40 years. They have a joint like their parents had a cocktail -- a nightly event. I do not believe they have been harmed per se by their usage. The message I have given my daughter since she was 3 years old is (1) anything can be abused; (2) you have a genetic mix that makes you high risk to become addicted to any drug so be careful; (3) the pot of my generation is nothing like the pot of your generation; (4) getting high is fun, it feels good, the problem comes when it keeps taking more and more of something to make you feel good and the only thing that matters is feeling good. So far, these messages seem to have worked. She experimented a little, does lke the high but is afraid of the aftermath. Works for me. Nothing is truly all bad nor all good. Opiates relieve pain and can put you into wonderful fogs that destroy all reality around you. Steriods can help you perform better and put you into roid rage. Pot can help relieve nausea from chemo, relieve the pressure from glaucoma and can have you hallucinating. To just scream something is bad and don't do it is an act of futility. Just say no didn't work for Nancy R., it won't work today. Both sides have facts at their disposal that are accurate. Both sides have facts at their disposal that have been distorted. The best we can do is sort the facts, be honest with our kids as much as we can and guide the best we can. The ultimate choice will be up to the kids. Yours chose to go the drug route. Mine chose not to because of her fear of her genetic pool. I got lucky. [/QUOTE]
