I wake in the morning after alcohol and the turmoil seems a hundred times worse but after a night with just a few smokes, many things are resolved - its very different and for me a much more positive experience.

Ideally, we wouldnt want or need either but i do believe that alcohol a nd THC, if used in moderation, are excellent ways to relieve the stressors of life and along with mushrooms are part of our heritage - though I know that statement will meet with disaprobation from many, these things are actually a big part of our heritage.

Well Trish it just wasnt something that I or any of my friends did and I was no angel...I dont even remember any of my company trying it or of it even being available to us, so I wouldnt go so far as to say its part of my heritage...we were too busy trying to get into clubs when we were underage and getting someone to get us some booze along the way Oh happy days

Why else do you think a circle of mushrooms on a lawn is called a 'fairy ring'

Is it?

i made a conscious decision not to take any drugs into my system apart from prescribed medication and only when really necessary....have no problems with anyone else doing them just wasnt for me

I have the same problem with prescribed medications - I dont trust the pharms companies one little bit - big business has only it own interests at heart sadly and has led many astray with their version of our needs - theres lots of money being made by selling drugs we dont really need.............

I only take loadsa vitamins....hardly even take a painkiller

I find a good balanced and natural diet sorts that out - anything else oddly enough usually shows up as a food craving

Well i work shifts and some days my diet is all over the place...vitamins/minerals etc is a wee helping hand at my age

Im a student and tend to live shifts - believe me, I am not yr archytypal 54yr old granny I even still pull an all nighter on here from time to time


but its amazing what a handful of nuts n raisins can do for your body and mind to keep you going for a few hours

No Im not exactly old for my age either haha!! Can still party with the best of them I tend to avoid the nuts because of the calorific value of them but I do enjoy them on occasion...like your photo by the way

Ok Trish, youv'e convinced me!!!!




Got a spare Q by any chance?

Thanks, they are my oldest and youngest grandsons

nuts have a high fat content but if you get lots of exercise they are ok in moderation - and the fat in them is unprocessed too so not so bad

im a drugs virgin...whats a Q

I have no problem with it per se but then I have never partaken myself. In my experience though, it does affect different people in varying ways. With some, they are fine..... others, it has been known to "frazzle" the brain long term, even after giving it up after some 30 odd years or so. If it doesn't hamper mental agility, reasoning and rationale, I am not sure what harm it does but if it clearly adversely damages one's psychological state, its probably best to take responsibility and call it a day before, say, it hinders your ability to work effectively or getting in a car and mowing somebody down.....??

Oops time for bed me thinks...im very tired

Im with you on most of that Alison but the drink driving thing is much more likely to be drinkers - I just found this;

It is well established that alcohol increases accident risk. Evidence of marijuana’s culpability in on-road driving accidents is much less convincing.

Although cannabis intoxication has been shown to mildly impair psychomotor skills, this impairment does not appear to be severe or long lasting. In driving simulator tests, this impairment is typically manifested by subjects decreasing their driving speed and requiring greater time to respond to emergency situations.

Nevertheless, this impairment does not appear to play a significant role in on-road traffic accidents. A 2002 review of seven separate studies involving 7,934 drivers reported, “Crash culpability studies have failed to demonstrate that drivers with cannabinoids in the blood are significantly more likely than drug-free drivers to be culpable in road crashes.” This result is likely because subject under the influence of marijuana are aware of their impairment and compensate for it accordingly, such as by slowing down and by focusing their attention when they know a response will be required. This reaction is just the opposite of that exhibited by drivers under the influence of alcohol, who tend to drive in a more risky manner proportional to their intoxication.

Today, a large body of research exists exploring the impact of marijuana on psychomotor skills and actual driving performance. This research consists of driving simulator studies, on-road performance studies, crash culpability studies, and summary reviews of the existing evidence. To date, the result of this research is fairly consistent: Marijuana has a measurable yet relatively mild effect on psychomotor skills, yet it does not appear to play a significant role in vehicle crashes, particularly when compared to alcohol. Below is a summary of some of the existing data.
