Send me some of that OG Kush Nivek. and I will smoke it and know right away whether it's sativa or indica!
LMFAO. I'm sorry, but-- no, I am not sorry. If you knew how few and far between the chuckles were here... Thank you for that one!
Perhaps I should explain. I only belong to this forum. Therefore, if I'm trying to grab a lot of information about a subject, quickly, I use a web-search engine and open a bunch of threads (other forums that I'm not involved with) in tabs, then - sometimes - end up spending the next week glancing at them, deciding if there is information on the subject, if it's actually valid information, et cetera. I mostly pay zero attention to who posted what, because their user names mean absolutely nothing to me. And, the majority of the time, I skip over all the numerous "humanizing" comments, too, for the same reason (no knowledge of the participants) plus I'm often in a hurry when I get around to looking at this, that, or the other random off-site thread.
So it was kind of a lucky chance thing that I noticed some newbie (oh, such a newbie ) posting a question about his plants. He was unable to upload pictures of said plants, so he tried to describe whatever it was that he was asking about - but, being a newbie, well... So, anyway, another member there posted something like, "Post your address and I'll come by and do a butcher's." Which I assume to have been some kind of Cockney rhyming slang for "...I'll steal your plants."
The guy (such a newbie) DID, lolololol!!! I only noticed that because the staff member (and I think it happened to be the one that had the title of "Administrator" - which made it even funnier, IMHO) posted "He DID! I've had to go around editing the <BLEEP's> posts." At which point, the thread hopelessly degenerated when everyone realized what had happened. People posting (echoing) He did, he did!, et cetera. A couple of people were helpful enough to explain that posting such things was universally considered to be a Bad Idea. And I think one person posted an animated smiley... of someone walking with a plant over one shoulder, whilst carrying an ax.
Er... I guess you had to be there. But your comment brought that thread to my mind afresh and, again, I thank you for the chuckle.
Additionally:
I'll be huddled in a corner, red-eyed, facing down some paranoid existential crisis and munching on whatever edible substances I managed to locate first through my brainless fog and stuff into my face.
A woman I know (knew? have known?) once smoked some cannabis and had a SERIOUSLY BAD reaction, immediate and prolonged. It literally wrecked her. Afterwards - and it was a while - she could only describe the experience as "it felt like there was literally an electrical storm in my brain AND my mind."
She didn't touch cannabis again for several years. And this was a woman who... touched pretty much every other drug that so much as passed near her. All the "illicit" ones (trust me, all). I know that she has been on, what do you call them, MAOIs and SSRIs both (and she might possibly have once been prescribed both types at the same time (multiple doctors, IIRC)... She must have gone through an entire flock of guardian angles many times over - because she is still alive, and I have been told that it's kind of a rule writ in stone to never mix the two classes of drugs, or even prescribe one directly after discontinuing the other). She has been diagnosed with: anxiety, major depression, night terrors (that it is oft times nearly impossible to awaken her from (although it's not the awakening that's the problem at that point, it's rescuing her from the... nightmare that she is then trapped in), manic bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD (if you can call being tortured for most of her childhood... mere trauma), and a couple of other things. Aside from that, well, she has issues. The neural pathways in her brain are not... I guess, think of the brain like the roadmap of a major city, complete with all the buildings / businesses and infrastructure (roads, electrical grid, telephone grid, water grid, et cetera). For example, New Orleans. Next, think of what NO looked like after Hurricane Katrina went through it. And she has definitely been through the pshrinks' pill roulette game many, many times. I... we were once talking (we did that, too ) and I told her that it was a wonder she managed to hold onto both her sanity (admittedly, we tend to be rather optimistic and stretch the term... a bit around here) and her mind, with all its intelligence. She just looked at me for a few moments and then replied, "Why are you so surprised? You're still mostly coherent." There wasn't really anything I could say then, because the lady did have a point.
Anyway...
I wondered at the time (when she was attempting to tell me about her past horrible cannabis experience) if it was an interaction with a prescription drug, or even some combination of multiple ones. She later smoked multiple strains (mostly with a sativa effect) in quantity with only the usual (negative) result... To wit, running out . So her negative experience would not have been a general cannabis allergy, is what I'm getting at.
I'm not saying that such a thing is the cause of your - or any other specific person's - negative reaction with some strains of cannabis. But I think that exploring the possibility as a general thing, for some (unknown) set of people, might not be a bad idea. In a different thread, a different time, of course. I just figured I'd better get the idea out there while it is still... accessible in memory.
Let me find out TS...... @Jgrowlove , can you share the pedigree of my Lemon Haze darling?
Thank you.
Wait a minute... Wrong thread. I... think?
