different take..
I have a bit of a different take on this topic. I am all for legalization and feel our federal government wastes enormous amounts of $$ on the "war on drugs". What a joke! That said, I smoked for most of my life, starting at about the age of 14. It never led to me to meth or any such "hard drugs" and I did very well in college, etc.....However, since my diagnosis I think it would make me way too paranoid. Part of the mental anguish of the whole cancer ordeal for me at least is paranoia related to upcoming tests, etc. I know smoking effects CEA and I could not bear the idea of my CEA being elevated which would cause a freak out, etc. etc. Also, having had lung mets the idea of smoking anything gives me the heebs even though I know my mets were not in the airway per se...Anyway, I would love to be able to go back to my care free smokin' days, but I don't know if I ever will be able to again. Here in Alaska no one is prosecuted for small amounts in the home anyway and it is very prevalent and pretty much accepted.

P.S. I am not in treatment though and for you guys battling nausea, etc. I say if it makes you feel better, go for it.

Eat 'em, don't smoke 'em
Hey Susan,

You can always eat the dope with chocolate! Hellllo! Banish the bong, bake the brownies!

peace, emily

I can't name names
but someone I know very well was at a conference where the guest speaker was a VERY well know author who had written some classic American novels plus some hippie type books. Anyway, these people were up in a room at a very famous hotel and they wanted to get high but had no papers or anything. One phone call down to the kitchen and up came an elaborately carved carrot-pipe. It had designs along the sides of it and all. From what I heard, it did the trick.

I have to try baking it sometime, you get 2 birds with one stone(d). You take care of the nausea and the munchies.

Pot
I use to love to smoke pot. It was legal when i use to live in Alaska. I haven't smoke any now for 20 some yr.s mostly because u got drug tested at my job. But now that I am not working. I would love to smoke some again. I no that sound's silly at my age but it was a something that really mellowed me out. And as confused as I am in what is happenimg to me might help the stress. I don't need to get the mucnchies though because I am over weight now from the steroid's the doctor's are telling me. Take Care Everyone. HUG"S Colleen

Age???
People of all ages (sounds like a circus promotion) enjoy a glass of wine or a martini. I do not see anything wrong with it but that's me. Some people see lot's wrong with me!

Baking
Here's a recipe. You make butter with it, then bake using the butter in place of the oil, it is still kind of bitter, so use lots of sweet frosting, boxed fudge brownie mix and choc. fudge icing works good. Take a pound or 2 of real butter, put in a big pan of water with the weed, simmer several hours. Squeeze and squeeze and squeeze it all through a cheesecloth, cool liquid in fridge, the butter rises to top. VERY potent, one small brownie square can be too much for some. And it doesn't hit you till about an hour after you eat it, back in the old days, that's what we did before a concert, then during the concert, wow it hit, and no risk of getting busted with it on you. This works good with scrap weed, the stuff that's usually tossed out, outer leaves sticks and stems too. It is not too good if you just add the weed to stuff you cook, very chewy and bitter, though used to crisp a bit up in frying pan and put on bread with honey, that worked too (bad teenager's lunch trick) Ahhh the 70's.
