@parus....in my experience, I've met potheads that just happen to find some relief in their marijuana. Then, I've met chronic pain sufferers than have found relief in marijuana. The difference is, the long time users actually revel in it, are just so excited to see others turn on to their long enjoyed pleasure. They step in to these discussions armed with all kind of info, some rather useful, but are just so excited because there has been legitimacy found in, may I call it...their vice? I am ambivilent about the legalization of marijuana, and am not prejudiced against users but intelligent conversation is difficult when they are high. Even that is not so bad....intelligent conversation is difficult for my brain damaged brain, anyway. Maybe, if I myself had found grass to be the panacea for me, I too would be giddy, lol. But it's their giddiness, and high, smily faces that somehow gets under my skin. Again, when chronic pain patients use it, find benefit, I am pleased. I'm even pleased longtime users do not have to suffer, really.... Anyway, just opinion, which either one will identify with...or not. Not having a horse in this race, if one disagrees, I respect that.
