*blinks* I cannot believe this topic exists. *blinks again*
I think this is a great subject, and actually wanted to bring it up the other day but decided against it.
I have a brother that is a manic depressive and pot does WONDERS for him. He smokes it on a daily basis and that is how he makes it thru the day. It keeps him calm and on a "even keel".
I have to say though.....I was a little shocked to hear some of you say that you use pot!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> It has been MANY years since I have done any type of drugs. Since before my 15 year old daughter was born, but with my weight I sure don't need to get the munchies......lol
It is also known to do wonders for cancer patients and glacoma so who knows that effects it would have with long term use by CF patients?!?!?!

I love pot, I just wish I could smoke it...I know I can still smoke it, but that is out of the question for me. I know others under my doctors care who swear by smoking pot also. In general, it's ALWAYS a bad idea to be inhaling smoke burnt from anything, but we all have our crutches in life. Most people all need atleast one vice, mine happens to be beers on weekends. If pot doesn't drag down your PFT's, and your PFT's are 158%, well...Kind of stupid for me to criticize you for smoking it. My PFT's are 99% (last check) and I don't smoke it, so whatever.
I personally LOVE the smell of pot though, so whenever anyone around is me tokin up, I get close and enjoy the aroma. Cigarette smoke is disgusting and makes my lungs bleed, pot smoke smells great and has never messed with my lungs.

lol @ Fred for "I'm kinda surprised how "knowledgeable" everyone is in the "Mary Jane" sector!"
I kind of thought the same thing...lol..
I am with Fred on this one....I just say "NO" really loud.

I used to smoke heavily for about 2-3 years with most of my friends. That's all we did, was smoke and watch movies, listen to music...and go out the occasional time.
I have mixed emotions about weed. Sometimes i would have a great time, others I would get kinda paranoid, and a little tired. I don't think it helped that I didn't eat much at the time too, so it would make me feel weak a bit.
However, it helped me sleep, and relax. I actually smoked tonight after not smoking for a few months, and I kinda like it. I felt light...and just relaxed. I miss it.
I think making tea with it is kinda nice too. Boil a gram or so in milk with a bag of chai tea. Makes a real nice relaxing drink for night time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> Drink it kinda early though cause it takes a bit to kick in, otherwise it'll be twelve at night and you'll just start getting high <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Here's a somewhat sugar free recipe for brownies:
* 1/2 cup margarine
* 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup granular sucrolose sweetener (eg. Splendatm)
* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup skim milk
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
*
* 1 (1.4 ounce) package sugar free, chocolate fudge flavored instant pudding
* 1 cup skim milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt margarine and cocoa together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in the sucrolose sweetener. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture then mix in the cocoa and margarine. Finally stir in the 1/4 cup of milk and if desired, the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. To make frosting, Mix together the sugar free chocolate pudding mix and 1 cup skim milk using an electric mixer. Mix for about two minutes or until thick. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
Carb breakdown is 7.1 grams per brownie.
All you have to do is use splenda where you would use sugar. Tea with pot in it isn't so good - the pot sinks to the bottom of the cup, and tastes kind of nasty to me anyway.

Just like you'd make regular tea... only instead of the flavored stuff in the tea bags, you empty the bag out and put weed in it instead.
Oh, but I should add... even if you add a bag of tea too (I used peach), it still tastes much like you would imagine bong water would taste. Pretty gross. Heh.

I cant say much about it doing anything. I have only ever tried pot once, ate it. Felt real goofy if you can count that as feeling good. The next day I felt like I had a hang over for most of the day, real dizzy and head felt heavy for most of the morning....but i didnt feel bad just odd, i found it funny. Now I do have a friend who used to smoke off and on through out her high school years (cf person yes). She was really healthy. But after a few months or so (i really forget how long it was that she said she did it to the time of what happened next) she contracted asperigules (sp?) while she was smoking off and on. Years later she found out that weed can contain asperiguless and she believes thats where she got it from. Now I know and she knows there is no way to be certain but she truely believes thats where it came from. But when she contracted asperigulis she started getting sicker more often and it took a little while longer to fight infections. I believe asperigulis is a fungus that can also create a allergic reaction in your lungs, making them more inflamed. I should go look it up for the right definition and spelling. But anyway I just thought I would throw that out there. I really havent heard of many cf pot users getting asperigullis but it is a possibility if you happen to get the right weed with it in there.

In comparison to you guys I feel so.. clean.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
/only drugs I get are legal.
