Cannabis??

[Pinkdust]

Hey all,

So I’m a cannabis user, I use CBD and THC but I prefer THC then CBD because I like the effect of THC more as it helps me cope with insomnia and helps me deal with being a pedophile and my minor attraction.

Just wanted to know if any map uses cannabis like CBD or THC or both to help them deal with their attraction to kids or other needs like mental health issues.

I think legalising it could be a beneficial for us maps to use cannabis either CBD or THC and I would like to be a cannabis user especially THC as I love getting high and the feeling of the high.

If I had the choice of getting CBD or THC I would pick THC over CBD because it helps me cope with my ma and helps me sleep better.

I think there should be research on maps using cannabis to see if it helps them with being a map among their metal health as well.

Does any map use cannabis to help them deal with their attraction and mental health problems being a map??

If so please share your thoughts and opinions why maps should consider using cannabis and why it’s beneficial for us to consume cannabis??

Peace and love,
Pinkdust

All forms of smoking should be illegal and heavily punished.

I used to smoke cannabis for over a decade until two years ago. Mostly for PTSD though. The only time I can think of that it helped with being a MAP was when I came out and fell victim to a smear campaign resulting in a lot of harassment that continued for weeks.

I would almost be inclined to agree with you, but as we should all know here, banning benign behavior never really works out.

I've been using cannabis since I was 13 years old. I love it. It always helped me with anxiety and depression, in addition to enhancing my creativity and motivation (yes, it increases the latter for me, rather than decreasing it as it does to many).

It's also totally legal and quite normalized where I live.

After more than a decade of heavy substance abuse, cannabis and caffeine are the only drugs I still use. I usually smoke a few hits on most days, i.e. quite small amounts. I might use some psychedelics again some day when I feel more psychologically stable, but I'm not there yet.

Cannabis is great! here is couple cool things I found in studies...

" Previous research suggests cannabis may enhance some aspects of creativity, although the results remain somewhat equivocal"
"While low doses of THC might enhance divergent thinking and creativity, higher doses can impair cognitive functions essential for convergent.."
" Amounts between 2 and 10 milligrams of THC per serving may stimulate your brain's reward system to increase mental energy and motivation..."
" Interestingly, low doses of THC are reported to potentially foster creativity, especially among those who don't naturally consider themselves.."

I think that cannabis can be beneficial for lots of people. But I don't think it is going to do much on the MAP question.

After a quick, search I found this...

"In our study, we found that the use of cannabis can allow men to access a deeper sense of sexual freedom and intimacy in a context where same-sex sex is historically stigmatized." (Now in the context of MAPs)

"Our analyses demonstrate that minority stress constructs, namely perceived stigma, enacted stigma, outness, community connectedness, and prominence of sexual identity did account for the relationship between sexual orientation and cannabis use cross-sectionally and longitudinally."

"How Cannabis May Prevent Early Life Stress"

I don't know, but maybe on some level cannabis is helping with MAPness/MAPs on the basis of, MAPs have stress(like the above) so more likely to use like everyone else who is stressed, and it could act as a 'social glue' to say that can keep people on level that is more than just related to MAPness, and finally it does seem to help with PTSD/stress/minority stress related psychological and physical symptoms and processes, like the study above "restored" was the key word.

Chinese medicine, or plants like cannabis or the poppy or mushrooms, cactus, vine, leaves for extracting chemical powders, these substances have always been the backbone of civilization and always will be.
Pharmacuticals are poison, so why you think doctors giving adderall to children is cool but smoking weed is bad.
I think we're done here.

Anywhere cannabis is still illegal on the planet is an area that is totally robbed of goodness, you should fight against it.
Smoking weed everyday does help dealing with all the injustice in the world, all the ugliness that leads to mental illness and such.
Pretty sure it's too late to secure a viable future for humanity, people get dumber everyday, don't even know what gender is or marriage or right from wrong.
I give up.
