I know it doesn't make much sense to trade one vice for another, but I very rarely drink (once a month, and a couple beers at the most) and I don't smoke cigarettes. I do, however, enjoy smoking marijuana on occasion, and I don't know who or how to ask if this is alright post op. I'm five days out and I wouldn't even think of doing it while I'm still recovering, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this after recovery. I'd really appreciate any advice you guys have. Thanks a lot.

You state that Marijuana is illegal.. in What state are you in?

I don't know of any state where marijuana is legal for recreational use? Do you?

Have you done your studies on it?

Yes.

I really feel before anyone goes off saying that Marijuana is an "illegal drug or is a bad drug"

DO YOUR RESEARCH. ITS AN HERB NATURALLY GROWN

IT IS NOT CHEMICALLY BASED

There are many 'natural' plants that are toxic. Just because it's natural, it doesn't mean it's good for you. However, I'm not making the claim that marijuana is toxic. I'm merely stating that it is illegal.

marijuana was the ONLY THING that helped him eat. Because of "WEED" he survived THE CANCER for 5 years

And some states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes. What most are talking about here is the illegal recreational use.

ElfiePoo-I don't know of any state where marijuana is legal for recreational use? Do you?

Recreational use- NO..

BUT!! (AND ITS A BIG BUTT)

In CALIFORNIA try looking up MENDOCINO COUNTY AND HUMBOLDT = you can grow 10 plants on your property..we are NOTORIOUS FOR OUR GREEN BUD THERE.

EXACTLY!! THEY LEGALIZED IT BECAUSE DOCTORS AND SCIENTIST RECOGNIZE IT.

FUnny how also how our President OBAMA stopped the FEDS from going any further in "busting out cannabis clubs" the war on WEED isn't such a WAR anymore.

Also in Cali- they are TAXING it.. meaning.. we are soo close to having this LEGALIZED..pretty soon THIS WILL NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE..

Like I said... Welcome to the Future.. Open your minds.. there are WORSE THINGS out there than "Weed"..:thumbup:

Ellfiepoo If you don't mind I ask..

What kind of Studies HAVE YOU DONE ON IT?

Google look-up doesn't count.. J/k

I've had MANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES with it.. MY BROTHER, FAMILY, FRIENDS,.. RECREATIONAL, OR MEDICINAL... i've done my studies.. My GOOD FRIEND is a graduate from "Marijuana School"

whats your back up?

Theres also a college out here for it.. called

OAKSTERDAM specifically for starting your own cannabis club, and growing.

Why do you think these schools are getting popular?

Why are there sooo many students going?

I don't mind at all. I am a psychiatrist and work as an adjunct with law enforcement at a maximum security prison. I have not *done* any studies, but have read the work of other experts who have done research.

There is no correlation between 'popularity' and safe use. :thumbup: Again, let me reiterate that I don't have a prejudice against marijuana. My belief is that we either make it legal...or make cigarettes and alcohol illegal. Let's at least be consistent.

In any case, it torques me that it is taking so long to get marijuana approved nationwide for medical purposes. The research is there to back up its efficacy for a number of medical problems...not the least being pain relief and without the addictive qualities of so many other pain relievers.

ooooo u work with all those law obeying correctional officers...u should ask them their feelings on smoking marijuana...right after one lights up a joint!!!!!!!!!!....lmao

Last time I checked, the guards weren't bringing the marijuana in to the facility in their lungs or bladders and then exhaling or peeing on the prisoners. Therefore, it stands to reason that 'carrying' the marijuana in would not compromise their drug testing.

I'm beginning to think you're either operating under the influence (judgment impaired by marijuana) or I'm dealing with a youngster (judgment impaired by brain not being fully developed yet). In either case, I need to move on to more important matters.

just out of curisty ms. elfiepoo how much weight have u lost??????? no pics posted....no ticker shown....my guess is not that much...y dont u get from behind ur computer....stop worrying about marijuana and hit the gym...better yet runs some laps with the inmates on the yard.

I smoke marijuana probably more than anyone else on this board (to be honest every single day) and I'm doing GREAT on my journey. it's all about WILLPOWER! Weed doesn't make you gain or loose weight, YOU DO. Don't insult people because they smoke weed. I don't insult people on here because they smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. That's their choice.

What does this have to do with the conversation at hand? Now I have to ask myself why someone who supposedly lost 139 lbs is resorting to bullying behavior and attacking someone else about their weight? You know what you just did is a defense mechanism for an insecure personality?

Goodbye Flyguys...life is too short to waste on nasty people.

I read an article that reported the results of a survey that asked 'would you rather lose a limb or be fat' and the answer was ' lose a limb'.

One of the fears I've had about losing this weight is that I will become a mean, self-righteous, vain person who will forget that beauty comes from within...not the digital readout on the bathroom scale.

If the choice is between being a nasty, self-righteous vain person and fat...I'll take fat because there are worse things than being fat.
