No "High" marijuana

[footkiller2.0]

Just saw on CNN there making medical marijuana without the high. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of smoking???

Only recreationally. I would imagine it would still give you the health benefits which is the purpose of medical MJ to begin with.

Exactly. If all someone is looking for is relief from symptoms, or side effects from treatment for cancer say, that's what matters. When my late brother was undergoing chemotherapy for his brain tumor he resorted to marijuana because it was the only thing that helped. He had never used any illegal drugs until then, and didn't really like the high, but put up with so he could function.

I have been doing a lot of research about juicing fresh hemp/marijuana and it has amazing health benefits. I'd love to be able to get my hands on some; maybe it'll help me with this fibromyalgia because it's been kicking my arse and I don't want to end up on disability over it!!

I haven't smoked in almost 25 years; I don't have the lungs for it and the side effects got nastier over the years.....but juicing it gives you ten times the benefit without the high.

If it wasn't for William Randolph Hearst's greedy ass, hemp and marijuana would still be legal and people could grow their own health remedies. I hate corporate greed!!!!!

Mr. Hearst had a lot of help from Harry Anslinger. He was the narrator in the infamous propaganda screed, Reefer Madness.

As for "no-high" pot, they tried creating that before and it didn't work, though it was well before current genetic engineering techniques.

I know he didn't act alone......elitists never do.

Yeah a few decades later he got some payback from his granddaughter Patty.....awesome!

But with all the new studies on it now at some point the BS drug ban has to be lifted. Probably won't be in my lifetime, but hell who knows??

Thanks to Washington and Colorado being well on the way to legalization it would be great if patients had a no high option, and the rest of us adults could have a legal way of enjoying the good stuff.

It is ridiculous to me. THC is what gives the relief. If you take that away then you might as well smoke Basil or Oregano. The only way you get rid of the high is to take the THC away and that is what helps, so it is all just idiotic to me.

You maybe able to reduce the effect, but to fully take it away would mean reducing the chemicals that actually help.

I doubt they would take it away but probably replace it with something a little less mind altering.

hmmm, I'd rather have the cannabis that gives the high.

Well check this video out and you'll see for yourselves the amazing health benefits by juicing. Now if you carefully watch, you'll see that they don't juice the top of the plant. If you want to get high, dry and smoke that part.......I'll take the leaves and a few seeds to replant and I'll be happy. I want the health benefits but cannot smoke the stuff anymore.

Sorry I couldn't get it to copy the embedded html, so here's the link to learn and enjoy.......

Watch the youtube video I posted in this thread; you may change your mind with the scientific evidence. Haven't smoked in years and have nothing against those who do. Just wish I lived somewhere that it was legal to grow and use to my needs. Not everyone growing and using marijuana is a drug dealer or a burnout. And even if they were, so what?? How many serious crimes have been committed by marijuana users? I'm thinking not too many......mellow people aren't that violent.

...marijuana without the high....

Oh... my sides hurt now. 😀

I understand that early attempts to de-drug-ify hemp had just the opposite effect. They tried crossbreeding with weaker strains I guess and ended up with much more powerful weed.

Nobody's learned shit since inventing non-alcoholic beer.
