Trying cannabis oil to stave off diabetes.

How's that working out?
Med. pot has been legal here for a while and I keep running into people that are not pot smokers but have a family member with various conditions that they absolutely see improvement or help from m/m. One guy has a sister that had a mastectomy and another one with a son with pretty bad "ADD". There are other's that I have run into, one a corporate chauffeur (CDL) that drives lobbyists around the DC capitol. He's a banjo picker and his fingers........ He was told about some cream, got some and paid for his own drug test being a CDL driver and he passed it. His only effect is his fingers don't hurt anymore and he does not get "high" using it. I've got my own list of complaints, mostly my knees but do not want an opiate or any other chemical drug. Medical pot has me very interested.

I agree. I also think the same laws should apply to using one's Cell Phone while driving. Does your family do that?

Amen, texting is the worst. It should be treated exactly like a DWI imho.

DUI and DWI isn't just alcohol related. Weed,drugs ,alcohol. Don't matter.

I believe the most recent term is "Driving While Impaired", and includes all drugs, alcohol cell phone use and even eating to the distraction of the responsibilities of driving a motor vehicle.

It is interesting that "drunkenness" will get you a DWI even if the vehicle is parked, not running and you in the back seat sleeping, With the keys accessible.

If you find yourself impaired and choose to pull over rather than chance a bad outcome. Hide the keys in the bushes! Then crawl in for the needed recovery ;-)

I am very rural. I don't drive in congested traffic. I'm not sure how many "DUI" drivers I might meet on the road in a week. I meet dozens using their phones. Doesn't bother me too much until the car coming at me is driven by a person looking at their cell phone rather than at me.

Statistics probably support DUI as the major cause of distracted driving accidents. But I think that's only because LEO doesn't check the driver's cell phone usage when investigating the accident. :(

If you are sure that none of your family uses their phone when driving you are in a very elite group. :)

Almost seems like medical marijuana is the next best thing since Bayer Aspirin.

Yep, it's that way here in Missouri as well. Isn't that silly.

All I can do is tell them what the law is and the dangers of using it. My wife has had someone almost swerved into her that was on their phone, so I think that was a eye opener for her. My kids haven't started driving yet😯, but it will not be long. I have told them the dangers and consequences of their actions,and can only hope that they will heed my advice.

Smoked my share in my younger years as well as an occasional over the top evening with alcohol. Didn't deal real well with hangovers, not a good way to spend the first half of the day after. Weed was pleasant but inbound that I really didn't get very much accomplished when enjoying it.
Haven't used much weed for the last twenty five years or so, and when I have participated I found that the stuff available now absolutely kicks my butt. Diabetes keeps my alcohol use down to a couple of beers a week at most.
Coffee now that's a different story, yes I am physically addicted to the stuff and it takes several days to get rid of the headache if I stop. But I do enjoy my coffee:hyper:
