The website I have resigned from

@Decadian

Sorry for my ignorance - but what is MMJ (MJ)??

Hi @BlueBay

I can't tell you the name of the website I resigned from but it is in the United States

It wasn't Beyond Blue

I thought that was for depressed people - so that must be very hard - it must be hard to have that happen

One of the things I think about is how busy people are sometimes - I save calling Life Line to during the day because they are so flat out busy during the night -

I don't know why that happened to you - but it must have been incredibly sad for you when that happened and I am glad I met you here

btw - the way that site in the States tried to treat me has given me a headache - it was very hard - it was a huge part of my life

big hugs @Decadian I had that too but in real life not on the net had to stop being friends with certain people and even family because of their use of MJ it's hard because I really loved these people but if someone is doing something that is wrong we tell them and if we get a negative response you have no chose then to move on. there is medical evidence of the dangers of the stuff.

Reddit. I'm not going to even check with you because I know. Seriously the mental health sub-reddits on that site are dangerous. And the mods treat everyone like crap if even so much as offer a sensible opinion. And yes MMJ is apparently the next block buster medication that big pharma is trying to ban so you should just stop your medication now. It's all a big conspiracy theory that everyone knows is true so don't argue with the herd.

I wouldn't really count it as a loss.

Thanks @hope77

I understand what you mean by seeing people change when they use marijuana - I had a man in my life for 9 years - and it's nearly nearly 16 years now since I saw him - I realised he had changed into a completely different person with the continued use of marijuana - and I guess there are different reasons for getting past using it socially or occasionally - to the stage when a person is addicted - and it becomes their most important reason to be

I am over him now - but breaking up with him was hard - and I am against the use of MJ for medical reasons - though I have no objection to recreational use

People change when they use it - and it is horrible to see some one I love waste away - and change into a different person

I do know what it's like @hope77 - it is incredibly sad

And @mrkotter - I agree with you regarding the situation in the States

had first-hand experience myself saw a very healthy 19-year-old boy go from an intelligent young man to a year later being in a hospital with psychosis. lost his job and the impact on his parents was huge. another young man I knew was on it for two years became MI and committed suicide. had enough of the lies about it. although the medical use of it is an exception

I hope that the medical use of marijuana is free from these problems @hope77

People have said there are no documents cases of people dying from an OD - but what about the suicides -

They are sad stories - it is really hard to know this

My son (deceased) was well on the way to become an alcoholic at 16 - his death was not alcohol related but his abuse of alcohol was what put him into Juvenile Detention

And - alcohol is legal - and it is harder to get of alcohol than other drugs - anyway - this is what my doctor told me

I am so sorry about those two young men in your life

Hi @utopia

Congratulations on being 8 weeks sober - that is a good start

I have been told that the active component of marijuana has been removed - but to me that means that the chemical that relieves pain has been removed too - still - if people get relief from pain then that is a good thing - just as trials have proved that it really does help people epilepsy get good results - particularly children

Different things work for different people I guess - but it must be a really hard struggle getting off alcohol

But some of us have joined up with our own small group - and I have this website - this is a much better place to be

And keep up the good work
